Plans: For this night I had plans to meet up with MoSh and make sure Asuka is ok. I am also hoping that Avalon will start working again now that I have retrieved my key to Avalon, I have noticed it hasn't been doing much of sending me where I need to be lately. If I haven't come up with some kind of plan ahead of time, I haven't had much in the way of dreams. Even when I did plan something out it often hasn't worked. I fell asleep normally this night, not using my light/sound device to induce a WILD, since I'm not sure how well that tends to work with Avalon.

Fall Out Boy: Dance
I am in a forest, it is a very pleasant place to be, and I am walking down a trail and enjoying the nice weather. Enjoying the birds singing, the breeze blowing, the loud cursing from a bunch of men not far off… what? That doesn't sound normal, so I follow the sound of the men and look into a hidden flat area, or it is flat now. It looks like the group of men trampled everything in the area down to make space for them to gather and curse. Most of them are complaining that they don't want to wait around, they want to kill someone, to attack now and take what they want, no one in that pathetic village can do anything to stop them. All of the men are dressed in leather armor and are carrying weapons such as swords, spears, and a few of them have bows and arrows. They are doing a lot of cursing and arguing, and finally a woman's voice calls out over the rest for everyone to shut up. I look towards the woman who spoke, and I recognize her right away… it's Callisto! The first thought to enter my mind is that I haven't seen Callisto for a very long time, my next thought is that I have never seen Callisto IWL at all, and my third thought is that I might possibly be dreaming. (I wish my thoughts would go this way in dreams more often!) So I do a RC and discover I am dreaming, so now I know exactly what I have to do.

I start by doing a quick scan of all of the people out there, but it looks like the only one with a spark is Callisto, it seems she has surrounded herself with some of the most violent and least intelligent people she could find. I am about to attack the group when I remember something I had been thinking about the night before, a song spell I have never used before, it was an idea that came to mind when I was reading something about a technique used by Walms and then Hukif that he refers to just as 'dance.' I look around and see no one has noticed where I am, so it seems like a good time to try something new out, back out in the clearing the men are now arguing with Callisto. One of them draws his sword and says he's had enough of listening to this crazy woman, then he makes a move against Callisto… only to get cut open by Callisto's sword as she draws it and cuts him in one smooth arc. He collapses to the ground, bleeding copiously from his wound as well as coughing up blood. Callisto asks if anyone else wants some of that, but none of them do. The man on the ground who had been struggling to breathe goes silent and still now, no doubt he is dead.

Ok… now to test out the song spell I had been playing with, which is actually the song "Dance, Dance" by Fall Out Boy, with the focus on the main chorus, "Dance, dance, we're falling apart to half time. Dance, dance, and these are the lives you love to lead. Dance, this is the way they'd love if they knew how misery loved me." The part that says, " Dance, dance, we're falling apart to half time," seems particularly appropriate. So now I summon up a dagger in my left hand, focus on the song, and actually teleport just the hand over behind one of the rudest and sickest sounding men in the group and bury the dagger up to the hilt in his neck… he was talking at the time, and ended up with, "After I'm done having my way with those bitches, I'm gonna… *glurg*" One of the men close to him chuckles and asks the target of my attack if he is really planning on raping the women and then puking on them. He suddenly stops laughing as the man I stabbed falls over, dead, with a gaping wound in the back of his neck. Then there's the strangeness that happened on my end of things… when I teleported my hand away, my internal penticon computer responded in the same way as it would if I lost a limb in battle… it dispensed a healing sensu bean directly into my bloodstream. The sensu bean resulted in the almost instantaneous re-growth of my missing hand. Then, as per the way I have seen the technique work, the other hand teleported back… and attached itself on my arm just above the new hand… um… ok… that's not normal. So now I am officially a freak of nature.

Back out in the clearing, the men are freaking out a bit, trying to figure out how their companion got that wound and died when there was no one there, I decide to try again. I form shift to get my body back to a normal form, and I look out at the group of men, who Callisto is trying to get to pay attention to her, she is insisting one of the others must have killed him, but she doesn't care as long as that person is equally merciless with the people in the village. So I focus on the song again, this time specifying that I don't need a sensu bean… and I repeat the process with a man on the other side of the clearing. This time I guess my hand doesn't go unseen as last time. As the target I stabbed falls over and dies, a man very close by is now yelling about ghosts and haunting, saying he just saw a disembodied hand kill Talbus. Another man says that's bullshit and he kills the man who saw my hand, saying that is the price to be paid for such treachery. Callisto is clearly getting very impatient with her people first attacking her, then keeling over dead from unknown reasons, and now killing each other. Their reaction is rather amusing, though I am more interested in what has happened with me. As soon as the hand was teleported away, the sensu bean is not released, but Witchblade grows down over the wound and forms into a replacement hand, a hand made entirely of Witchblade material. The other hand returns, is unable to attach to the Witchblade material, so it falls to the ground, completely useless.

There is a man there with me, and he seems to find the situation a bit amusing, I try not to pay any attention to him being there. Though I do think the fact I now have a hand made entirely of Witchblade to be very interesting. Witchblade retracts and it turns out it created a new hand while it was there. The man with me seems to find that interesting as well. He asks me what I'm trying to do, I tell him I am trying to replicate a technique I have seen a friend do in dreams. He asks if I could use some help with that, I say no, I have to be able to do it, damn, I've already asked too many dumb questions about it, which means even now it won't count as figuring it out on my own, which means everyone is going to keep looking down on me as an incompetent fool, damn! I use the song again, but this time my entire body explodes and teleports away to different locations, leaving me as a disembodied consciousness, a non-corporeal entity, and all my different body parts appear around enemies and do various things to kill those people… arms and hands grab daggers and stab, a leg tripped one of them while the other stomped his face into a bloody pulp… A disembodied head tore open the throat of one of the men like a wild beast would… then there was a limbless torso hovering in the air and freaking everyone out. Callisto goes to cut the floating torso down, it also explodes, then a whole bunch of parts come back to my location at light speed, going through anything in their path… more dead people… then I am reformed right where I was before, spitting the one man's blood out of my mouth… YUCK!

The man there is staring at me really strangely, now that must have looked totally insane… I look out into the clearing, or at least I try to, I am feeling quite disoriented, and the people still alive in the clearing are all going nuts and running off into the forest yelling about vengeful spirits and having angered the gods somehow. Most of them are dead and lying all over the ground in bloody messes, Callisto has completely lost any semblance of control over her people, and soon she is standing there alone in the blood soaked clearing. Well, as weird things have been up to this point, it is time to heal Callisto's heart. I am about to do that when a really big and nasty looking guy strides into the clearing, looks around at the blood and bodies, then says it looks like they got the fun started without him.

She glares over him and says he is late, he says that is obvious, she says everyone else is gone, either dead by some strange intervention of the gods, or run off in fear. She is clearly frustrated, well so am I, I want to just do the healing and get out of there now. Something pops into my mind and I do it without even thinking, it is really disgusting, I teleport directly to the big guy, materializing inside him and then tearing out from the inside, which is sooooo disgusting… If it was a FPS, I would have just scored a telefrag! (One character teleports into another or spawns into another.) Callisto stares in stunned silence… I feel disgusting… But I still focus on the song "Until It Sleeps" to heal Callisto, the energy flows and seems to have the desired effect. I head back to the cover of the forest, I want to find some water and clean the crap off of me… instead the guy I saw earlier is still there, staring at me strangely, and then I wake up.

Note: This was another night of all fragments, so here is what I can remember from the fragmented dreams.

Looking for WHO?
I was in a forest, I'm not sure how I managed to get there, but I was spontaneously lucid… or most likely I had become lucid before my memories of the dream begin. I was eating an apple and thinking it tasted exceptionally good, almost like a caramel apple, but there was no caramel on it. I turned around to follow a path that I thought led back to my place, but there were three people blocking my path. Two men and a woman who had a look to them that said they thought they were better than everyone else. Of course this gave me an immediate dislike of them. One of the men, one with dark hair slicked back against his head in such a way that it looked like one solid oily mass, said he would have me tell him where they could find Makarthos… wtf? I told him I had absolutely no idea who they were talking about, which was true. The woman said I spoke the truth. The man sighed, I looked to keep track of the other man, and it looked like he was standing lookout for something. The man said he would have me tell him where… Walms… could be found. I said I know no Walms, but the woman said I was lying. The man asked again where Walms could be found, I said I had absolutely no idea… the woman said that was truthful… I asked why they were looking for Walms. My question was ignored, the man said since I have a bit of Walms' energy in me, I could surely locate him. I said I do not know the location of anyone using that energy form, let alone Walms. The woman said I was being truthful. The man grumbled an expletive and then said they should go, Makarthos had to be somewhere close. All three of them disappeared, leaving me wondering who the hell they were.

Healing by Proxy
I was in MoSh's inner world with MoSh, Asuka, and Kaomea, I was lucid, and I knew my goal there was to transfer some healing spells to Kaomea, which she had requested I do. I told Kaomea that often times using healing spells was the best way to learn them, so if she was up for it, we could go to a place where both a soul healing and a physical healing would be needed. She agreed, so I opened a portal while focused on finding a Callisto from the television show "Xena: Warrior Princess" who needed healing. I trusted my tracking to find an appropriate version of Callisto. Kaomea and I went through the portal into a forest where I spotted Callisto hiding behind some trees, looking in the opposite direction. We went silently over behind her where I looked where she was looking. There was a woman near a small house that Callisto was watching, I heard her mutter something about taking away everyone Xena had ever loved… I got Callisto's attention, she turned around with a start, apparently surprised that there was someone there. Callisto pulled out her sword, but when she did I noticed that she was only able to use her right arm, her left arm looked quite badly wounded. She told us to stay out of the way, she could take a couple unarmed travelers with just one arm. I ignored Callisto's comment and told Kaomea to do the healing spell, I would focus the energy through her to show her how to use it. So I focused the spell Touch My Heart through Kaomea to Callisto. It's not the usual healing spell I use on different versions of Callisto, but I felt it would work, and it has more uses than the one I usually use which is Until it Sleeps by Metallica. I could tell the dark energy had been cleared from Callisto, but she was still physically wounded. I told her we would heal that wound, it looked like it was becoming infected. Now free of the dark energy, Callisto allowed us to use Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack to heal her physical wound. Again, I focused the energy, but directed it through Kaomea so she could be the one to do it.

Must Save Kitty!!!
I was sitting in a classroom, it was a normal classroom like many others I have been in, though it was clearly not my normal school. I also didn't see anyone I knew in the class, but none of this seemed unusual at the time. The instructor was lecturing in front of the class, I felt a distinct dislike of him, but I wasn't thinking of any particular reason why I would be angry at him. He was teaching biology, talking about internal organs of mammals, which I was not finding at all interesting. I was thinking it would be fun to disrupt this class with a display of TK… too bad I couldn't do that… The instructor told everyone to gather around. He had a sedated cat on his desk now, and he was preparing to dissect it! No way! I told him the idea of doing that was sick and disgusting, he said if I was offended I was free to leave early, but study internal organs of mammals in the book for the test. I said I would leave… and so would the cat, at which point I grabbed the sleeping kitty and ran out of the classroom with it. It seemed everyone was after me, saying they wanted to dissect the cat, which was about to make me physically sick. I turned around and saw a lot of people back there… and went off into a classroom and then into a closet to hide with the sleeping kitty. It turned out I had chosen the history classroom, and this closet had weapons from history… surprisingly they were real, not models, so I grabbed a sharp sword. The door opened, the instructor was there, he said just because I oppose dissection doesn't mean others have to be deprived. I told him I don't oppose dissection at all… I was ready to do some right now… "How about you go first?" I said as I pulled the sword out and sliced the instructor open with one quick upward cut from his crotch to his chest… his intestines actually spilled out, just about making me puke, everyone else ran for it as the instructor collapsed and bled out on the floor.

Dreaming Rocks!
I was near a large arena that was used to host huge musical concerts, and I knew it was someone I wanted to see this time, so I went to find out who. There was a random concert here every week, and this one was the week for Heavy Metal, so I wanted to at least check it out. Best of all, the concert was free, used just for the band's publicity. I was wonderfully surprised when I found Metallica was playing, that was strange since they are already well known, but as usually there was no ticket needed. The concert was already underway, and I hurried into the arena. There were many people there, but I managed to make my way to the front of the arena, right up to the stage, the music was so loud and that was sooooo cool! I listened to the music for a while, then I felt dust tickling my nose, so I reached up to rub it. Something seemed weird… I pinched my nose… and was still able to breathe, I was dreaming! I took to flying, but I didn't want to leave, the concert was too cool. So instead of leaving, I flew from one vantage point to another to see the concert from all sorts of viewpoints that no one else was able to get to. Strangely enough, no one seemed to notice my flying around in there.

There was an aged Indian shaman here wearing a hat and looking at me with a very intense gaze, I wondered who that was and why he was here while Tigress didn't seem to be. Since the man seemed so focused on me, I walked over towards him… I recognized his energy. Somehow, instead of ending up in Tigress' dream, I had ended up locating don Juan…

I surveyed my surroundings a bit more, searching for any sign of why I had ended up here instead of where I had intended to go. Don Juan was silently watching me as if he was expecting something interesting to happen, such as me growing wings and suddenly flying away, I figured I could make that happen, but I wanted to know what was going on here. So I went over closer to don Juan and asked him if he knew why I was there, I had not intended to be there. He asked if I wanted to be elsewhere, I said yes, I had dream goals I was completing that included meeting Tigress for a shared dream since we're still working on a confirmed one. He said I didn't need to be anywhere else, I needed to be right here, right now, to stretch my mind outward into the other realms because a mind that is not stretched will collapse in on itself. I was most likely giving him a blank look, since I didn't know where all of that had come from or what the purpose was, then he said I obviously wouldn't see it until it was right in front of me, so here it is.

The scene around me shifted completely to something a bit disorienting, but I focused and was able to get my bearings… I will try to relate it as clearly as possible. There were now four separate scenes going on around me all at the same time, all different… two of the scenes were similar to each other, the other two were also similar to each other, but the two pairs were vastly different. I was now standing at the entrance to a small village (the entrance to a grave yard) (the entrance to a volcanic cave) (the entrance to a park) where I was looking at Callisto from the Xena series (Demona from the Gargoyles series) (a demonic looking Callisto) (a zombie Demona) with an army of raiders (zombies) (demonic entities) (more zombies) following them. Now that I think the complexity of these parallel events is conveyed sufficiently, I will split the four separate dreams out…

*Callisto's Party*
I was at the entrance to a village like those found in RPG's. I was looking out of the village at the road leading into town, it looked like the main road going into town and through the village. This road was now blocked by a woman warrior and a group of ruffians that looked like a street gang decked out in leather and spikes. Now, for people reading this dream that didn't know already, Callisto is the first person I ever used my soul healing on, that was when I was just discovering the ability. Callisto had been driven insane by the violent deaths of her family and at this point is filled with nothing but anger, hate, and a lust for revenge.

So I knew what to do about this. Callisto ordered her goons to attack the town, and leave no one alive… or maybe leave one alive to tell everyone that she would keep killing until Xena showed herself. The raiders moved towards the village, I formed my Witchblade sword and attacked the raiders. My Witchblade armor blocked their attacks, my Witchblade sword cut through their armor, and with the speed I got training with Vegeta I was fast enough to keep them all out of the village.

When all of the thugs were dead, Callisto was still in the road looking exasperated. She said she should have known better than to think anyone Aries could dig up would have any skill, all of them losing to one woman, who did I think I am, Xena? She moved in and attacked me, saying she was clearly going to have to do everything herself. I fought back in defensive mode, just blocking her attacks and not attacking her in return. I focused on the song Until It Sleeps by Metallica, which I use to put hatred and anger and a need for revenge to rest. The song played through and had a visible calming effect on Callisto, she no longer looked as crazy as she had just moments ago… She looked a bit disoriented, which is normal for someone who has just had their heart healed, then she looked at me strangely and said she had been wasting her time chasing Xena when she should be following up the rumor that her sister still lived. She mounted a horse I hadn't noticed until now and rode away.

*Demona's Hoard*
I was at the entrance to a graveyard that was filled with zombies, more zombies were clawing their way out of the graves, all of them were filthy and decaying. Only one person there was still alive, and that person was Demona from the animated series Gargoyles.

The zombies were gathering around Demona as if waiting for orders of some kind, she indicated the gate to the graveyard where I was standing and told the zombies to spread their curse until the whole of humanity had been destroyed. The first thing I thought of was that it was good she was only after people… but that wasn't even the point. The point was she was filled with anger and hate, and she needed to have her heart healed just as her twinners had needed when I was finding them long ago. I had to fight my way through the zombie hoard to get to Demona, but zombies have never given me much trouble, and I used my Witchblade sword to cut through them all until the zombies were dead… again… and I was facing Demona. So now I focused on Until It sleeps, which is the song I always used to use on Demona's twinners when I found them, evading Demona's attacks as I used the song spell. When it was finished, Demona looked visibly calmer and somewhat disoriented. Without a word she took to the sky and disappeared from sight. Though she hadn't said anything I was confident her heart was now free from hate.

*Aries' Army*
I was at the entrance to a large cave that was illuminated with a strange red light, and it was filled with people who looked sort of like humans but not quite. Something was off about them, that was it… they all had pale gray skin and glowing red eyes, they all looked possessed. They were also all stamping their feet and growling and snarling in a menacing fashion, they were clearly ready to go and just needed to be given the sign to move out. A woman emerged from the middle of the group, it was Callisto off of the Xena series, but there was something wrong with her, too. She didn't just look crazy, she looked totally demonic with glowing red eyes, actual horns protruding from her head, although those were small, and a fiery aura around her, she indicated to the demonic army to go forth and burn everything to the ground, let no living thing remain, this world would be hers now, and she would remake it in her own design, but one exception… bring Xena back alive, she had special plans for Xena, then she laughed an evil sounding laugh.

Since these people all looked possessed, the first healing song I thought of was Liberate by Disturbed, although I have never actually used that spell on Callisto that I could remember. So as I was standing in the cave entrance, completely confusing the possessed warriors as to who would be stupid enough to do that, I focused on Liberate. The song played, and I focused on defending myself as the possessed warriors were trying to kill me. I didn't want to fight them if they were being controlled against their will… The spell had its intended effect, the possessed soldiers stopped attacking me and looked disoriented. Due to certain parts of the Liberate song, "All the hate in your heart will be leaving you blind!" and "To take away all the hatred that darkens the light in your eye!" it also had the effect of cleansing the hate and anger from Callisto's heart. This spell didn't go unnoticed, however. There was a flash of fire and Aries appeared, looking the way he looked on the Xena television show, and he looked angry. He was looking around the room, asked the warriors what they thought they were doing, get to battle! A few of them seemed energized by the thought of going to battle, most of them said there was no reason to wage war. Aries said they should wage war because he commands it, but there was apparently enough of the healing energy still in them that they could not be controlled so easily.

Aries rolled his eyes with obvious annoyance and then said they should kill the bitch, pointing at me, he added that if they needed a reason why he had a large bag of gold to go to whoever got my head first. Most of the warriors left, some of them attacked me, so I figured they were fair game since they were acting off their own greed this time. I quickly dispatched them with my Witchblade sword, Callisto killed a couple of them, too. Now Callisto was mad at Aries, angry at him for using her and tricking her, Aries just said that he knows she likes to be used and abused. Callisto said she would not allow Aries to use her any longer. Aries said then both Callisto and I would die. He said we should know better than to fuck with a god. I said I didn't see how anyone so pathetic could pass for a god, but whatever. Aries was using dark energy, as was to be expected, and it wasn't very stable, which was also to be expected. So the plan would be to hit him with light energy. He was throwing fire with his hands, I used my own fire spell, but used pure light energy on it. The light energy surrounded Aries, clearly draining his energy. When it was done he was pissed but also looked quite weakened. Then a small imp appeared in a burst of fire beside Aries, trying to get his attention, Aries asked what in an annoyed voice that made the imp flinch. I couldn't hear much of what the imp said, but it had something to do with Hades… Aries then told Callisto and me that we were lucky, he had pressing matters to attend to, but our time would come and we would be begging for mercy. Aries and the imp both vanished in a blast of fire.

*The Zombie Queen*
I was now at the entrance to a park at night, there were dim street lights illuminating small areas of the park just enough that I could see movement. I used my ocular Borg implant to enhance my vision so I could see well in the dark and then I realized the park was crawling with zombies! So it was time for a zombie hunt. That sounded good to me, so I formed my Witchblade sword and headed into the park taking down zombies one and two at a time as I came across them. I was making my way through the park, feeling out the distinct energy of the zombies and eliminating them, when I came across a particularly strange zombie… this zombie wasn't a human zombie, it was a gargoyle zombie, particularly Demona! WTF? I didn't see how a gargoyle could become a zombie. Was there any way I could fix this? Now that she was already a zombie? I didn't see any way… and while I was thinking about it she was attacking me. I saw no option but to fight back, and I ended up killing her. After that I went through the rest of the park and hunted down the remaining zombies, at least some of which still thought they were hunting me…

*Back to don Juan*
Now I was back in the desert with don Juan, he was giving me an odd look, I asked him if any of those had even been real… he said of course they were real, they were other planes of existence as I well know, so stop playing dumb since I wasn't even doing a very good job at it. He said I had stretched my mind into four different worlds simultaneously, keep it up and this will be possible IWL. I couldn't stop the spurt of laughter before it got out, oops… I hadn't actually intended to laugh in his face… he didn't look annoyed, he just looked at me as if waiting for an explanation of what I had found amusing. I told him that before he wastes any more time on me, he might want to know I can't do shit IWL, so if that was the goal it was pointless. He just shook his head and said I already have power in my waking life, and so does my friend MoSh, all we have to do is allow ourselves to use it, which is the goal of expanding one's mind. He said I am already seeing beings on the shadow plane, getting visions from other planes, how long would I deny the evidence given to me by my own senses? I don't know if the question was rhetorical or not, but I woke before I could answer.
