Thanks. I really do like dreams like this. No fighting, no hostility... just beautiful places to explore. I need to focus harder on getting more dreams like this and fewer dreams with fighting. Action dreams can be good, but I need a break sometimes!

Note: I was listening to the music on my iPod when I went back to sleep after the previous dream. It had been completely unintentional, and I wanted better control this time. I wanted to go to the moon and meet a new friend RomanSoldier and then we were heading for Rome. Plans included the TotY that involves participating in a gladiator fight, and I was going to see if I could slip a TotM in somewhere, too. I focused on this really hard and managed to slip into a second WILD…

I was in the biodome in the usual spot next to the koi pond. Yay! I was where I wanted to be! I looked around to see if I could find Markus (RomanSoldier). I pulled a Homer to myself (D'Oh!) as I remembered I had agreed to meet Markus outside of the biodome. I focused on teleporting myself outside of the biodome…

I looked down at my clothing and saw I was in my Assassin's Creed outfit, so I had gotten that right. Hopefully Markus would recognize me. He had told me he usually appears as a Roman gladiator… That should be easy to spot.

I walked around on the moon a bit. I spotted a man who was pacing back and forth. I headed towards him. I was almost right next to him before he noticed me. I said hi to the man, who was dressed like a gladiator. That must be Markus… it's not like there are numerous gladiators wandering around on the moon. I greeted him, confirming that he was Markus. He reached out his right hand. I went to shake it and he made it a full-arm shake, clasping his hand at my elbow, greeting me as Raven… and calling me a lady? I stepped back and looked him over. He was a hottie. I was trying to get a feel for his energy so I would be able to easily find him in the future, but I also had the feeling I was blatantly staring. Shoulder length dark hair, an incredible physique, near perfect facial features (better than perfect because perfect looks so fake), and beautiful eyes… Eyes are one of the features I notice first about a man when I first meet him, and I couldn't look away from Markus' blue eyes. Then I realized I was blatantly staring and looked away too quickly. I felt myself turn red.

Markus asked if he had done something wrong. I said he hadn't. I said I'd just been getting a feel for his energy. I looked around the moon a bit then back at Markus. I asked if he was ready to head to Rome. He said yeah. I asked if he was going to remember this shared dream. He nodded. I said I was going to, also. I opened a portal to Rome, a place Q had already told me about, and led Markus through by the hand.

On the other side we were in a city that looked like ancient Rome. I looked around at the setting for a bit. People were all around shopping at vendors, talking to each other, selling their wares… Markus didn't look good. He looked like he might be sick. I asked if he was ok. He said yeah, just a bit disoriented by the portal. I said I could see why it might be disorienting, but it should get better once he was used to it. Or we could use a different mode of travel like teleportation, or door portals… open a door and just step into the new location… Markus stood up straight, seemed to regain his equilibrium, and we headed down the street. There were many vendors, and I could see the coliseum up ahead. Markus was looking at some jewelry. He held up a pendant and said it would look good on me. He smiled. And what a smile. I felt myself turning red again… why did that keep happening this time? I don't normally turn red at the drop of a hat…

The mention of the jewelry reminded me of something. I was going to give Markus something. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a gem. It was about an inch in diameter, and it was round. It looked like a materia from Final Fantasy 7. I remembered what it was for. I looked at Markus' wrist guards and saw there was a place where a materia could fit in the right one I said the gem was for him, and it should help protect his energy from enemy attacks. He asked if I have a lot of enemies. I said usually I just ignore them, but they sometimes like to bother new people in the shared dreaming circle. He took the gem and inserted it in his wrist guard.

We were now outside the coliseum. This was where we would do the fight for the TotY. I asked Markus if he still wanted to complete a task of the year. He said sure. We went into the area where they admit warriors. The men at the entrance looked at us and one of them asked if Markus was fighting alone. He said no, I was fighting with him. The man tried to stifle a laugh, but failed. Then he asked if Markus was sure he wanted to take a woman in there. The other guy said Markus was probably looking for a valid way to ditch the old lady. Markus looked like he would like to start the killing right there. After the two men realized we were serious, they took a more serious attitude. One of them told us we would be fighting a group of violent criminals looking to win their freedom in a gladiator match. He said those people wouldn't hesitate to kill one of us, so we shouldn't hesitate to do the same. He was looking at me when he said that as if assuming I was the one who would have problems killing someone. A group of unpleasant looking individuals dressed in gladiator gear moved past us and into another entrance.

As Markus and I went into the arena the guards at the entrance handed us swords. I teleported mine away and formed my Witchblade sword. We got into a sword battle with the opponents. We got in a sword battle. We were outnumbered, but they didn't seem especially skilled. My Witchblade armor formed under my Assassin robes and was protecting me very effectively. So we fought, dodged, parried, attacked… until I found myself back to back with Markus. There were three enemies left. I attacked the gladiator in front of me. He deflected my sword with his sword, but he was unprepared for the hidden blade I had on my left arm. I took him out with the hidden blade. I turned around just in time to see the final enemy, who was attacking me from behind, go down with a throwing knife stuck in his throat. The crowd was going wild.

Markus was standing there looking at me. He asked if I was ok. I said I was fine… I was glad he had my back. I said there was one more thing I wanted to do before we left. Markus said fine. I told him it might look a bit disturbing, but don't worry about me… I would be fine. Now what I did was a bit confusing and hard to describe. My dream body is just energy, so I focused on shifting my consciousness from my head down lower in my body. It was working.

It was also disorienting. I took my Witchblade hidden blade and held it to my own neck… which was now above my point of consciousness… and activated the blade. Markus was surprised and moved to stop me at the last minute, but he was too late. My head fell off and rolled around on the ground. Markus stared, stunned. The crowd was also stunned. I was so disoriented… but I walked my body to my head and stepped up on the head… where I very quickly lost my balance and fell off. Everyone was silent. The crowd started muttering… I was hoping that would count. I crawled my body back to my head and grasped it, holding it back to my neck… where it re-attached… backwards. I turned it around 180 degrees.

Markus was still staring at me. I felt ill now. Markus asked me what the fuck I thought I was doing. I said I had been doing a task of the month. I was feeling seriously sick. I moved my consciousness back to my head… but that didn't help. My head was still on crooked. I straightened it. I told Markus I had to get back to the moon, then I would probably wake briefly… but try not to go anywhere or to come back. There was something else I wanted to do. He said ok. I opened a portal back to the moon and we went through it. As I stepped out of the portal, which I accidently opened three feet off the ground, I fell out and woke.

Note: I got a text from Nomad indicating he was being attacked. He said he felt bugs all over his dream body. I fell asleep with my light / sound machine and the goal of going to help Nomad. I slipped into a WILD…

I was in a bedroom. Nomad was lying in a bed. There was a strange thing floating over Nomad. The figure looked like a solid black cloud and there were insectile feelers coming from the thing and probing lightly over Nomad. There were many of these feelers. I could easily see how that could feel like there were many bugs all crawling all over Nomad. The feelers were barely touching Nomad, not doing any damage, but I was sure they were poisoning him. Well, not in this dream! I changed into a large black panther and pounced on the thing hovering over Nomad, knocking it to the ground on the other side of Nomad's bed. The thing turned to smoke and reformed in front of me. It was definitely a female form, and it hissed at me menacingly. I fired a tendril of Witchblade out at the thing. It wrapped around the creature. It tried to turn to smoke again, but Witchblade pumped light energy through it. It was unable to change back to fog. It was making the most horrible scream I have ever heard.

"SSSTTTOOOPPP!!!" the thing was screeching, "PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE SSSTTTOOOPPP!"

I had the Witchblade stop the light energy flow, but not release the thing. She now appeared to be exhausted, and was begging for her life.

"Please don't kill me…" she said in a squeaky and hissing voice, "Please…"

"Who are you?" I asked, "Why were you attacking my friend?"

"Just following orders, I was," she said, "Don't kill me… I wasn't trying to kill your friend, not kill…"

"Just poisoning him," I said, "You said you were following orders. Who sent you?"

"Others like you," she said, "Others like him. Dreamers. I don't know them…"

"Ok," I said, "I don't want to kill anyone if I don't have to… but if I ever see you hurting anyone again, not just Nomad, but anyone else, you won't be so lucky."

"I not come back," she whined, "Never come back. Promise"

"And I will recognize your energy if you do come back," I said, "So you'd better not try it unless you want to die." I focused a glare at the thing and she cringed. I didn't think she would be back anywhere near here. I opened a portal to the void between worlds and threw her through it. I went over to check on Nomad. He seemed to be sleeping peacefully. I focused on the song Full Moonlight from the Devil Hunter Yohko soundtrack. Golden energy formed and flowed through Nomad. His dream body was able to wake up now. He saw me there. He got up and gave me a big hug. He thanked me for coming to help him. I said I would do it any time. He said Angel also needed healing. I said I would help if I could get back, but I felt myself waking up. Everything around me faded to black and I woke.

I was in MoSh's inner world. Somehow I was spontaneously lucid… or at least semi-lucid. I was thinking there was something else I should be doing. I tried to think about that… my mind wasn't fully clear. What was I supposed to do? I looked around. I saw MoSh. He was coming out of a house. He saw me there. He asked if Markus wasn't coming. That was it! I was supposed to pick Markus up on the moon! I told MoSh I had forgotten to pick Markus up. I opened a portal to the moon and went through with MoSh following me.

On the other side we were on the moon surface. Not in the biodome. Markus was standing there. He was still hot. I was not remembering his form wrong. I went over to Markus and made introductions between Markus and MoSh. Markus greeted MoSh with the same kind of hand shake that he greeted Nomad and me with. Markus said he wanted to see this biodome I had been talking about. I asked MoSh if he wanted to bring Asuka or Shawna… I didn't think the place we were going would be dangerous in any way. He looked a bit gloomy. He said both of them were in the Healing Glen. He said his inner world had been attacked again. I asked who had done that. Markus said we should kick the intruders' asses. MoSh said he would get into that later, but for now the jerk had left.

I was going to open a portal… then I changed my mind and just teleported the three of us into the biodome. I do portals all the time, I wanted to improve my teleportation also. The teleportation worked. We were in the biodome next to the koi pond. Markus looked around at the setting. He said it was hard to believe we were really on the moon still. He looked at the colorful fish in the pond, looked at some of the plants growing and the flowers. He found flowers that had the name 'Walms' on them and sniffed one. He continued looking and spent a short time looking at the tree that was growing loaves of bread. After looking around at a lot of things he came back and said this biodome is amazing. I told him any time he feels like adding something he should go ahead. He said he might just do that. Now the goal was to go to the place MoSh had been talking about, the one he said he, Nomad, and I had created years before we met. I opened the portal and we went through…

The three of us exited in a different place. I remembered MoSh saying the place looked like an Unreal Tournament level. Do to that I had been expecting an indoor area, but it wasn't. We were in an outdoor area. I saw trees scattered about, and there was green grass. I know there are some Unreal Tournament levels that are outdoors, but I had just been picturing one inside. Markus appeared slightly disoriented, but not as much as when we had gone to Rome. He looked around at the setting. He walked over to one of the mirrors that were also scattered about. I saw many mirrors. They didn't show reflections, though. They showed other places. A huge array of other places. I looked through a portal and saw a beach. I looked through another and saw a cave lit by torches. Then there was another cave lit by glowing plants. I saw a town through another one, and a castle on a cliff through another.

"Where do these all lead?" Markus asked, seeing all the mirror portals.

"I don't know," I said, "allegedly I helped create this place, but I have no memory of doing it. It looks like they lead just about anywhere and everywhere." I looked through a portal at a lush forest, the next one looked onto a parched desert, and the next one looked at a futuristic city with flying cars.

"Where did MoSh go?" Markus asked.

"I don't know…" I said. I looked around for MoSh. I didn't see him. I called out to MoSh. No one answered. I walked around and finally spotted him as he stepped back through a portal into our little world nexus. He pointed at the portal and said we didn't want to go through that one. I asked why not. He said it was a bit rated X. I said oh. I could only see what looked like it might be a wooden room or maybe a pier. I didn't see it very well, and I didn't look closer.

"Want to check one of them out?" I asked Markus and MoSh.

"I wanted you to remember this place," MoSh said.

"I'll do my best," I said, "You remember it, too, Markus."

"I'll try," Markus said.

"But I just want to go to the Healing Glen to check on Asuka and Shawna," MoSh said.

"I can understand that," I said, "Are they going to be ok? Do they need healing?"

"The stone golem is taking care of them now," MoSh said, "I am going to join them, though."

As if in reaction to MoSh's words, one of the mirrors started glowing brighter. I went over and looked through it. I saw the Healing Glen through it. The cave to be exact. I saw Asuka sleeping. I didn't see Shawna. I called to MoSh and said I'd found the portal he wanted. He came over to me and said goodbye before going through the portal.

"I guess it's just us," I said to Markus.

"Yes," he said, looking into my eyes deeply, "Just us. All alone." And for a few minutes we were just staring into each others' eyes. Markus is a bit taller than me, so I was looking slightly up into his eyes… his beautiful eyes… and that smile. I wanted to kiss him… but was it too soon for that? Would it be awkward? I didn't have the nerve. And the opportunity passed as everything around me faded to black and I woke.

I was in a desert area. I looked around. I didn't remember how I had gotten there. Great. That could mean only one thing. I was lost. Completely and hopelessly lost. I walked for a ways. I saw a group of people up ahead. Some of them were walking on foot, others were on horseback. I thought maybe they could tell me how to get back to a main road. I thought it was strange for them to be out there, but that wasn't really that important. I didn't think drug dealers or anyone like that would be riding horses and walking…

As I got closer to the people I saw they were all dressed in costume. They were all dressed as Templar knights. I thought that was even stranger. Was there a renaissance festival somewhere near there? Well, if there was, that was surely near a main road. I could definitely ask these people where the nearest road was. Something about the Templars made me feel uncomfortable. I reminded myself those were just costumes, there aren't any real Templars any more… at least not the kind that walk around in armor carrying swords… I forced myself to approach the Templars. One of them saw me and came closer. He didn't look happy to see me. What? I hadn't done anything…"

"Sorry to bother you," I started, thinking I might have intruded on a private affair, "but…"

I don't think the man was even listening to me. "So, Assassin," he said, "You think you can come here and take the holy grail all by yourself? I figured you Assassins would try for it, but I didn't think you'd be foolish enough to send only one lone Assassin, and a female at that!"

Holy grail? He was calling me an Assassin? WTF? I looked down at my clothing. I was, indeed, dressed as an Assassin. It was a very nice costume, too. Very authentic looking. Maybe this was some sort of game I had been caught up in and the Templar was just getting into character. I was confused how I got in this game… I didn't even remember putting on the Assassin costume… I'm sure I had a blank look on my face.

"Well, then," the Templar said, "I'll just have to give the Assassins in Masyaf a message when we pass near. That message will be your head!"

The Templar attacked me. Did I have a sword? My Witchblade formed a sword. And armor… and I blocked his attack. He was making serious attacks using a very real and very sharp sword! This wasn't a game for him! Since it wasn't a game for him, I couldn't play it as a game, either. I defended myself with my sword and ended up running my sword through the Templar. My first thought was that I had killed a man… and then I put the pieces together. This was a dream! I became lucid.

Ok… my goal for a lucid dream. That Templar had said they had the holy grail with them. One of the tasks of the year is to drink from the holy grail. So my next goal was to relieve the Templars of the holy grail. I turned towards the other Templars There were some on horseback and they came at me. I grabbed at the leg of a Templar as he went by and pulled him off his horse. Before he could get himself up I killed him. I mounted his horse so I would be on an even level as the rest of the Templars. I now fought about ten Templars on horseback. They really started pissing me off when they were actually aiming for my horse instead of me. Even the old west outlaws know you never go after the horse, just the rider! Killing a horse was a hangable offense… and here it was a beheadable offense. My sword cut cleanly through the necks of two Templars going after my horse. They soon got the picture that going after the horse wouldn't work. I finished off the Templars attacking me, they didn't seem all that skilled… and their weapons couldn't penetrate my Witchblade armor.

With the Templars' horses milling about and grazing on the sparse grass, I looked back towards the remaining Templars. They clearly were not knights. They were carrying a chest and running in the opposite direction. I rode after them and quickly cut them off. They turned to run the other way but I cut them off again. There were four men and they had a chest. The men gave up on trying to escape and were now just cowering on the ground around the chest. I got off my horse. I was still holding my sword. The Templar closest to me was begging for all four of their lives. I didn't particularly like the idea of killing them in cold blood even though they were Templars, and they didn't appear armed, so I told them if they wanted to live, they had better leave now… and leave the chest behind. The four of them hesitated only briefly before they got up and ran out over the desert as fast as they could. When they realized I was not pursing, they slowed down and looked around. They spotted the horses and headed for the horses quickly.

I found the chest was locked. I used the Harry Potter spell alohamora to unlock it. I opened it. It was a velvet lined chest with an indentation in it that was just the right size for a cup that was in there. It was a relatively plain cup, looking more like the one from the Indiana Jones movie than a fancy golden treasure. I lifted the cup carefully from the chest. I looked around again. I could see the four Templars disappearing into the distance, the other horses following behind. I was now alone with the holy grail and the chest, with one horse standing near me.

I looked closely at the grail. What was I supposed to do with it? Oh, yeah. Drink from it. I looked around and didn't see any possible source of water. But wait, this is a dream… I didn't have to find water, I could just summon it. I summoned a soda, a Coke, ice cold. I poured some coke into the grail and drank from it. There. The task of the year was done. I summoned some water and washed the sticky out of the grail before carefully placing it back in the chest and closing it. I stood up and looked around. I was no longer alone. There were people coming, and lots of them. There were as many people approaching now as there had been Templars. I didn't really feel like fighting them… I was done here. As they got closer, though, it didn't look like they wanted to fight. They were all Assassins on horseback.

One of the Assassins came forward. He asked where the Templars had gone… and if that chest I had was indeed the one that held the holy grail. I said the Templars were dead… motioned towards the bodies of the Templar knights… and yes, the chest contained the holy grail. The Assassin said he didn't know how a single Assassin had managed to obtain the grail, but there was no time to lose in getting it to the safety of the shrine. He said once it was there, all who need it can have access to its healing powers. He told me to hurry up and let's go. I said I wouldn't be going. I handed him the chest, however. He asked if I didn't want to come, surely (some name I don't remember) would want to honor me for my achievement. I said I have no interest in that. I felt I was about to wake up, so I told him the grail was his to make sure everyone could share the miracle. He seemed to think that was really strange… and I'm sure he thought what happened next was even stranger. I woke, so my dream body disappeared right before his eyes.

*sigh* I don't have time to read all your dreams right now! I wish I did! Thank you for your help. I think that woman-thing was the shadow creature I saw in astral when I had my last OBE.

Ice cold coke huh? Pepsi would have been better... well cherry Pepsi!

Note: When I fell asleep, MoSh had gotten online and hadn't been responding. The last time MoSh was online in the middle of the night, there was trouble. I was concerned there might be more trouble, so my first goal of the night was to check on him. With that in mind I used my light / sound machine to slip into a WILD…

I was standing on sort of an invisible ground. I looked around. There was a glowing blue dome near me. It looked like a big blue shield. There was a man standing near the shield, looking up at it. I wondered who he was. I went over to him. I didn't recognize him. What was he doing here standing outside this shield. I looked more closely at the shield. It was slightly translucent. I could barely see inside, but I somehow knew it was MoSh's inner world. What was the man doing standing around watching MoSh's inner world? I didn't know if the man might recognize me as having been with MoSh during other dreams, so I changed form to Sailor Moon and hid my energy.

"What are you doing?" I asked the man.

"I'm going to go in there and fuck with the guy who lives here," the man said, "I'm going to fuck him so hard that he doesn't know which way is up."

"Why do you want to do that?" I asked him.

"Because he's a self-absorbed, egotistical bastard," the man said, "Who thinks he is always right and anyone who disagrees with him is automatically wrong. I'm going to teach him a lesson… and those two bitches who live in there with him, too!"

"Wow," I said, "You're really pissed off. But how are you going to get through that shield?" I touched the shield and got a small ripple. I pounded on it harder and hurt my hand.

The man looked over at me. He eyed me for a bit, and then finally decided he didn't know me. "You won't get in like that. You could hit it with a nuclear warhead and not scratch it. But there's a secret," he said, "MoSh… that's the guy in there… thinks this shield is supposed to block everything out. But there's a little gremlin in there who will let anyone in who wants in. You just need to know where to look to find it. So MoSh and all of his worthless friends are running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to reinforce the shield when they have no clue. It doesn't matter how powerful the shield is when anyone who wants in will just be let in." the man chuckled.

"Wow…" I said, "So these people are completely oblivious…" I commented.

"Yeah," the man said with a laugh, "Come on… watch what I'm going to do. They'll never know what hit them." the man headed around to the left. He was looking at the base of the shield. I followed him, looking very closely at what he was seeing. He finally stopped. He looked at the shield very closely and then tapped at it a couple times. The contact send a couple of energy ripples across the shield. I touched the shield. I also got a small ripple, but it felt solid beneath my touch. I pounded on it and hurt my hand.

"You won't get in that way," the man laughed, "You could hit that thing with a nuclear bomb and not scratch it. Over here. Look."

I went over near the man, I had to resist the urge to vomit. Being that close to the man made me want to vomit. He had bad breath, and I could smell his BO. Yuck! But what he was pointing at was interesting. There was a small black animal or something… it looked like a mole. It slid it's little front paws under the shield and did something, then put its paw through the shield, parting it as if it was fabric with a rip in it.

"What the FUCK?" I asked, seriously annoyed that this was possible, "Exactly how is that possible?"

the man laughed. "Nice, isn't it?" he said, "Now watch what I do in there."

"What you're going to do is leave," I told him.

"I don't think so," the man said as he turned towards me. I had shifted back to my normal form. "It's you!" he said, apparently recognizing me, "Raven, isn't it? You're worse than he is. Self proclaimed savior of the world when all you're doing is trying to control what everyone else thinks!"

"Why are you here?" I asked, "Why are you attacking MoSh? What is the point? We never bothered you, why are you attacking us? All we want is to be left in peace! Why won't everyone just leave us in peace?"

It looked like the man was about to say something, but I didn't really want to hear any excuses. I told him I am getting sick and tired of everyone and their evil step mother constantly attacking MoSh. I told him I have better things to dream about than having to come here every night to be sure no one is attacking. I told him this is a private inner world, and I was going to ask nicely for him to leave. He said he would leave when he was good and ready. I said fine, be that way. I used Black Hole Sun and opened a vortex portal to send him away, the intent was to send him back to where he came from. The portal closed behind him.

"Now don't come back!" I yelled at empty space, more venting frustration than expecting anyone to hear me, "I mean it! The next asshole who comes here to attack is going to get a one way ticket to the Dark Realm! Just leave us alone!"

The little mole was still holding a hole open in the shield. I picked it up. It looked at me strangely. It didn't look evil… it was an animal of some kind. I wondered why it had been letting people in. I wondered if someone might have been controlling it, might still be controlling it. I telepathically contacted Q, and he appeared. I asked Q what the little animal was. He looked at it. He said it was a rock bender. He said they live in the wild of some worlds, and when domesticated are very helpful to miners to get through areas of a mine that are too fragile to dig in or blast in. He said they can phase through virtually anything to open a safe temporary passage.

I told him the little rock bender had been opening a hole in the shield to let intruders in. Q said not to blame the little guy. He said the little guy had probably been trained to help miners, and it is in its nature to open pathways through otherwise impassable objects. I said I didn't blame the animal. The rock bender was actually kind of cute. Q said he would make sure the little guy got to a safe place. Both of them vanished. I looked back at the shield and saw the hole was gone now. The shield was once again solid. I was about to head in and find MoSh when everything faded to black and I woke.

Thanks for looking out for me.

What an interesting critter. I wonder who that guy was.

Was the little cute guy grey/blue-ish? If so I may know him... and that explains why I could enter last time to his house, that time I tried to reinforce his shield, apparently failed to notice the mole, thought it was just a random "distortion" -.-

He was a really dark color. I was thinking black, but I suppose it could've been a really dark blue/gray. And don't worry about not seeing the mole... my guardian built the shield, went back to check the sheild, and didn't find it. It was probably really hard to find because it didn't keep an opening in the shield all the time, just when someone wanted to get through. If this isn't the animal you know, they might be the same species?

Maybe it was, if so... I wanna hug it <.<

Walms I did extend a welcome to you to come to my inner world house. You should be automatically allowed in.

Wasn't the dream (The barrier fixing) when you told me not to though? After that I came back and fought you... which is when I decided to just not go, since I just cause trouble <.<

I think this might be the closest to the color of the animal's fur. It was silky soft when I picked it up.

Alright walms. how about we both fight creatures then?

Well, the mole was like this (Yeah I know, the pic is that of a hudgehog, lets say it was a mix lol):


Also, uh, I think thats a bit too blue, or maybe not... let me search for the dream so I can remember <.<

Alright walms. how about we both fight creatures then?

yay fighting creatures! What kind of creatures?

I finally caught up reading your DJ!

I was in MoSh's inner world. I was lucid. I looked around. I was in his house. In the living room. I looked around. Asuka came out of the kitchen with Shawna beside her. They looked a bit tired, but otherwise ok. I wondered where MoSh was. I looked up the stairs. I asked Asuka where MoSh was. She said he was upstairs. I looked up the stairs just in time to see MoSh looking back down. I waved at MoSh. I said we were going to do a healing. MoSh came down. I looked around the place. Something didn't seem right. It seemed too dark… what was wrong? I knew it wasn't supposed to be that dark in MoSh's house…

MoSh was standing near me. He said he was getting sick and tired of people always coming here to attack him, Asuka, and Shawna. I said I had just chased another intruder away… before he had gotten in through the shield. I told MoSh that there had been a small mole like animal that Q had called a rock bender that had been letting anyone and everyone right through the shield. MoSh asked if I had gotten rid of it. I said yeah, but it wasn't really the animal's fault. It had been trained to penetrate barriers, and someone had put it there to let people in. I said Q had taken it home. So the shield should be holding things out better than it had been.

I had thought my eyes might adjust to the darkness in the house, but no, it was really that dark. I figured I had better try to clean it up. I used the song Full Moonlight. The song caused golden energy to form and flow throughout the room. I focused the song on cleaning out any negative or dark energy from MoSh, Asuka, and Shawna. I ended up repeating the song a couple more times, creating even more golden energy. The golden energy was now flowing through the room and through the house. After the golden energy had permeated the entire house and faded away the scene was much brighter. It was a much nicer place now, looked more like a home. I asked MoSh if he knew how the room had gotten so gloomy… if there was negative energy in the house. He said with all the attacks he wouldn't have been that surprised if there was negative energy there…

I asked MoSh if he had seen Kakarot lately. He didn't have a chance to answer before Q appeared. I noticed Q wasn't alone. Q had Data with him, Data from Star Trek TNG. MoSh looked over at Data, who was looking around at his new surroundings. Q said he had found a Data that he was able to bring back with him. He said they aren't easy to come by… most of them are very occupied. He said Data could perform all the functions of any Data as well as some additional functions that had been added to his programming.

Q was still talking about Data. I was wondering where Kakarot had gone off to. I opened a portal and focused on finding Kakarot. A portal opened. I told MoSh that Kakarot should be on the other side of that portal. I went through the portal. MoSh followed me…

I was now in a futuristic looking control room. I looked around the room and saw that Kakarot was there. He was looking at a display screen. There were some small blips on the screen. He looked at them briefly and then turned away from it, apparently not concerned. There didn't seem to be anything wrong with Kakarot… I wondered why he was here instead of inside MoSh's inner world where he had agreed to be. He stopped suddenly and turned towards me. He said he had sensed some familiar energy. I asked what was going on? Where had he disappeared to? He said there had been an emergency on this planet. He said this was his home world and it had been under attack, so he's had to come help protect it.

I was just staring at Kakarot now. Kakarot seemed to think that explained enough and went back to the screen.

"So…" I said, feeling rather annoyed, "You found out your home world was under attack so you just up and left?"

"Yes," Kakarot said, "The threat is nearly passed. We are expecting a surrender at any moment."

"And the idea of telling someone that you were leaving never occurred to you?" I asked.

Kakarot was looking at me strangely. I was annoyed at Kakarot for walking out. He said that what was going on with his home world is not my concern. I said actually, we would have been willing to help with the problems on his home world. I asked him if he had considered telling someone he was leaving so we could do something else to make sure MoSh's inner world wasn't always being attacked. He said he had told someone. He said he'd talked to MoSh in a dream before he left.

"Seriously?" I asked Kakarot, "And you expect dream communication to be reliable enough to be certain that he would remember that? Do you have any idea how many times there have been attacks there?"

Kakarot was looking at me really strangely now. I was getting the idea that, as a Vegeta twinner, he really wasn't used to having someone getting in his face and getting upset at him.

"There have been no less than four different assholes coming into MoSh's inner world on a nightly basis," I said to Kakarot, not responding at all in the manner most likely expected by a Vegeta twinner, after all… I know Kakarot… "There were people using mind control, people walking off and taking Asuka with them, people walking in and out through a small hole in the shield, coming and going as if they owned the place, as if they had some kind of right to be there!"

Kakarot glared at me, but it didn't have the force a Vegeta glare usually has. Kakarot glared over at MoSh. He said there was nothing to be done with him (indicating MoSh). He said there is no possible way that fool can be trained. I told him that is bullshit and he knows it. I reminded him he and Vegeta have trained people who are way harder to train than MoSh, who had already accomplished a hyru shouten ha, several other of Vegeta's techniques, and several song spells. Kakarot said if I think it's so easy, then I should train MoSh instead of trying to push him into doing it. He said he had never met a pushier bitch, teach him, heal her, protect them! Well, he'd had enough. Kakarot disappeared into thin air.

"What the…" MoSh said, staring at the spot Kakarot had been in.

"Don't listen to him," I told MoSh, "You're abilities are coming along fine. With more training it will be even stronger."

"Where did he go?" MoSh asked.

"He's a Vegeta twinner," I said, "He might need some time to calm down… and maybe control whatever is wrong with him. If he doesn't come back soon I will find him and heal him. For now, I think I'm going to wake. If you want, I'll be by later to take you, Asuka, and Shawna to a beach for something fun for a change." Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

I was on a beach. I looked around to see where I was. I wasn't alone there on the beach. I saw some people not far away. I headed towards them, and they looked familiar. I recognized Nomad, Angel, MoSh, Asuka, and Shawna. A brief instant later Markus arrived. He didn't pay much attention to the others, he came straight over to me. I waved at the others, who also acted like they had just gotten there. Nomad headed for the water, and Angel followed after him. MoSh and Angel said something to Shawna. Shawna then took off after Nomad and Angel. I wondered what MoSh had said. Markus was right beside me now. We walked together up the beach.

The weather was beautiful. The sun was warm but not too blazingly hot, a nice breeze was blowing in off of the ocean. I didn't know for sure what beach we were on, and it seemed slightly odd that I couldn't remember. But for some reason I didn't do a reality check from that… There was a man there, he looked Mexican. Markus ordered a beer. The Mexican man disappeared and returned shortly with a beer.

Markus and I walked down the beach together. I saw MoSh and Asuka a bit farther down the beach. Markus and I stopped near an umbrella. There were a couple of beach chairs under the umbrella. Markus said he was glad I had made it. I said I wouldn't have missed it. I was looking into Markus' eyes. I was still looking there when Markus was trying to get my attention. The Mexican man had returned. Markus said the Mexican wanted to know if I wanted something to drink. I said I don't normally drink beer. Markus turned to the Mexican and ordered a virgin strawberry daiquiri. The man left and soon brought it back. I took a drink. It was sweet and tasted like strawberries. Markus asked if I liked it, and I said yes.

Markus and I headed down to the ocean. Markus said there would be sharks here. For some reason the idea of meeting sharks didn't bother me even though I wasn't lucid. I was fully convinced that sharks would not eat a human unless they were on the verge of starving to death. After all, humans are like total junk food to sharks… Markus and I dove into the waves and swam out for a short distance. There were, indeed, fins in the water. I dove underwater and changed into a mermaid. There were numerous sharks swimming around us. They looked very graceful under the water, sliding smoothly through the sea.

I got a bit closer to one of the sharks. It looked at me, swam towards me, but then broke off and turned to my right before reaching me. The sharks didn't appear to be in feeding mode, they were just swimming around. I remembered hearing that if a shark stops moving it will die, and these sharks didn't pause in their swimming. It seems people are often afraid of sharks, but I was thinking how beautiful these sharks were as they swam. One of them was going to come near to me again. As it swam by I reached out and touched it. I had just petted a great white shark. How many people do that. I deliberately swam closer to one of the others and was able to pet it a bit more. It's skin was smooth. I turned around and saw I was face to face with Markus.

Markus pulled me into his arms and we were hugging right there in the water. I held him close and felt my mermaid tail wrap around him, holding him closer. Just a bit after I did that he pulled away a bit. I wondered if my mermaid tail had kind of creeped him out. Maybe he hadn't really thought of me changing into a mermaid… He smiled at me. So maybe he wasn't as creeped out as I had been afraid he would be. I was holding his hand. He was also breathing underwater. But that made perfect sense. Anyone who is with a mermaid can also breathe underwater. So while still holding Markus' hand we dove deeper into the ocean, right through a school of colorful fish. The fish were beautiful. They swam around us almost as if they were putting on a show. As soon as they came and circled around us they swam away into the deep blue ocean. I looked back over at Markus as he was watching the fish.

I felt like I was going to wake up, but I didn't want to. I took hold of both of Markus' hands and focused on him, trying to stabilize the dream. It seemed to work, so we swam a bit farther. Swimming over the ocean floor as it descended into darkness. Suddenly the coral reef broke off and there was a huge cliff that disappeared deep into the ocean. The suddenness of the drop made me slightly disoriented, but that was all it took. Everything around me faded to black and I woke.

I like that even though you changed into a mermaid and I was breathing underwater you didn't to a reality check or become lucid. It just goes to show that you can still have fun without being in control!

Yeah, I have had some pretty cool non-lucids. The list of dream signs I missed in that one goes on and on and on... Seeing Nomad, seeing MoSh, seeing Markus... becoming a mermaid, breathing water...

Beautiful dream.
