New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight

Concert in the Sky
I am in a wide green field of grass, entering into my dream through a WILD using my hypnosis program. I open my eyes and look around to see that I am alone there, which actually surprises me. I had expected to see Templars all around me, as seems to be the pattern lately. I walk across the field, enjoying the pleasant scenery. Then I see I am not alone after all. There is a single Templar there with me, though he seems to be keeping his distance. He has his hands out in a gesture that suggests he is not here to fight. I am feeling calm and peaceful, also not inclined to attack. He gets a little closer and says he just wants to talk to me for a minute. I figure that can't hurt, even if I want to tell him where to shove it… so I tell him to go ahead. He says something was discovered about the artifacts I have stolen, something that I definitely need to know about, especially since I am refusing to return them. He is about to say something else when a portal opens and a large feline creature with huge talons comes through and literally cuts him in half before he can even register what is about to happen. The cat then comes over to me and pounces on me in a more playful manner, licking my face like a huge dog before transforming into Nomad. I tell Nomad that I was talking to that guy he just cut in half… he says everything the Templars say is poison to the mind, toxins I don't need to be absorbing. I wonder what the Templar had been intending to tell me about the orbs… Nomad says we need to go to the moon, he opens a portal and we go through. On the other side of the portal we are in the tower on the moon, in the main control room. The display is showing the Earth, a full Earth enlarged to fill the entire screen. Nomad says he has programmed the tower to emit a beacon to signal all dreamers to come to the moon and become lucid. He pushes a button and a spotlight of white light shines over the entire planet, shining like a beacon. He says we can use our ships and broadcast a healing spell on the planet now, see about breaking the mind control the Templars are trying to establish. I teleport outside into my Fire Valkyrie, he launches in his space ship, and we head down to the planet. I fly low over some cities while broadcasting the song Liberate by Disturbed. "Liberate you minds!" I play the song repeatedly while flying from city to city, repeating the song several times. "… take away all the hatred that darkens the light in your eye…" should have the effect of eliminating some of the excessive negative energy and hate that seems dominant in the world. I continue flying over the planet from large city to large city, broadcasting the song everywhere I go, until I wake up.

Shadows of Yesterday
I am in a building that looks a lot like the school I used to go to. I am in a hallway that ends in a locked door. My ex-boyfriend, James, is sitting on the floor sorting through a bunch of papers. There are other people there, too. I recognize them as Alicia, Tigress, and Tina, who is the woman James left me for. I wonder what they're doing there. I try to ignore James and Tina, wishing one of my boyfriends was with me. If only I was dreaming… but maybe I am! I do a reality check and find I can breathe with my nose pinched. I want someone there with me. James and Tina are kissing. I really don't want to be alone. I find myself getting angry at being the one cast out on my own while two people who had claimed to be my friends still have each other. I am getting angry at having been used and tossed aside like yesterday's trash… I also don't want to have to watch the display. I go over towards them and tell them to cut it out, go get a room already. I step on a couple of the papers James had been sorting through. He gets mad at that and starts yelling at me about me being clumsy and thoughtless, and what am I so angry about anyway? My first thought is to try to wipe the dirt off of the paper I stepped on, but I am too annoyed for that, and this is just a dream. I seriously doubt that I am really looking at James and Tina, most likely just DC's created by my mind. I push him up against a wall and tell him that is normal for me now, I am angry all the time, I am getting quite pissed off and I tell him it's all because of him. Someone comes up behind me and puts his arms around me, a voice behind me with a British accent tells me that the git can only hurt me if I continue to let him. It's Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He says he doubts James ever thinks about me, and I should do the same thing. The James DC asks Spike who he thinks he's calling a git. Spike very calmly states that James is a git for throwing away someone like me, then he proceeds to turn me towards him and kiss me right on the mouth. It is a passionate kiss I wish could go on forever, but as dreams have a way of doing, this one ended just when things were starting to get really hot. I wake up in a fit of coughing due to my extremely annoying cold!

Snow in the Desert
I am in the deserts of what looks like Egypt. I am not sure why I think that is where I am, but I am sure of it. I look around and see nothing but desert as far as the eye can see. I walk for a short while, but that is tiring. If only this was a dream I could fly. On the off chance I am dreaming I pinch my nose and find I can still breathe. I hadn't expected that to work, I am really dreaming! I take off and fly into the sky. I see the desert far below and a strip of green running through it, that is the Nile. I decide to fly over the Nile as I do in the beginning of my one hypnosis program. I figured it would be a good chance to complete a Task of the Year since that hypnosis program ends up with me at the pyramids of Egypt. I fly over to the river and dive down, enjoying the ability to fly. I reach down and touch the clear water before flying up again. I come down near the beaches then I notice something is weird. The white stuff I am looking at isn't sand… it's snow! Snow in the desert? That doesn't make any sense… it's nowhere near cold enough to have snow. I land to take a closer look and I find I have landed right by a road. Just to see if it is real I build a small snowman. I leave the snowman sitting on the side of the road for any travelers to see. It doesn't seem to be melting in spite of the desert heat. This reinforces the fact that I am dreaming, but it also pushes thoughts of the Pyramids of Egypt from my mind. (Fail!) I walk down the road for a while longer when a car catches up and stops near me. It's my mother driving a big SUV. She says I shouldn't be out in the cold… though it really isn't cold at all. I get in the car and we drive a while farther to a lodge, where we go inside. I am trying to remember my dream goals, but I feel like I am going to cough. I start coughing and wake myself up.
