Note: My goal tonight was to visit the Antarctica world that Lonewolf described. When I asked around, I found out that MoSh, Markus, and Nomad also wanted to come. So the plan was that all of them would come, most likely with Asuka and Angel as well. A group outing! I used my light / sound machine and slipped into a WILD.
I was in the biodome. I was lucid, having just entered my WILD. I looked around to see who was there with me. I saw everyone else was already there. Markus was right beside me, MoSh and Asuka were just behind Markus, Nomad and Angel were behind me. I remembered the goal of going to Antarctica, the alternate dimension, so I opened a portal with that goal in mind and we all went through.

On the other side we were in the ocean. The waves were large and all around us. I wondered how we had gotten here. I wondered why we hadn't gotten straight to our destination. I thought maybe the alternate Antarctica was somewhat protected from direct portal and teleportation access. What we needed now was a ship… or a boat… or something. I counted the people with me… Nomad, Angel, MoSh, Asuka, Markus… 6 of us total… and I summoned my modified Lamborghini that Q built for me a while back. It looks like this car, but it was modified and is a bit longer so there are more seats in it. The doors are gull-wing doors and open outward to form wings so it can fly. I summoned the car now, and it appeared, hovering over the waves. I teleported into the driver's seat and threw everyone else a line so they could find the car. I didn't have to pull them up, just show them the way. They all came up and joined me in the car. Markus was sitting beside me, MoSh and Asuka were close together behind Markus, Nomad and Angel were behind my seat.
From that point of view I could see a land mass… and a cave leading into it. I flew the car down and into the cave. It was dark in the cave, but the headlights lit the way. The cave was pretty straight, with just a few turns. There was a light at the end of the tunnel ahead. We flew through that tunnel and into an open area. We landed just outside of a city. The city looked like something out of a Final Fantasy game. Two suns shone in the sky. One of them was larger and yellow, the other one was smaller and blue. The result was that the yellow and blue lights mixed and cast a green glow on the surrounding area. This made the green vegetation look even greener.
All of us got out of the car and walked towards the city. I looked up at it, it was really cool. I remembered Lonewolf saying something about meeting a woman with a hat who was there to greet dreamers. I wondered if this place got very many dream visitors. I figured if there was someone there who greets dream visitors, then there must be a decent number of dreamers that come here.

I saw movement. There was the woman. She walked over to us. She did have a hat on, it was pretty and had some flowers on the rim. She was also wearing a long sundress. She had a friendly smile. She looked from one of us to the next one, smiling and greeting each of us. She seemed to know all of our names. She greeted MoSh(after a brief pause), Asuka, Nomad(as Nomad, again, after a brief pause), Angel, then she paused on Markus… until he stated his own name… to which she looked slightly puzzled, then she greeted me as Raven. She seemed friendly. She was talking about the city and the people who live there, but I was looking around at all the vegetation. It all looked distinctly like we were in another world. I was looking at the flowers when Markus got my attention. Everyone was leaving, going into the city. I wanted to stay and look at the flowers. I went over to a flower, there were so many, I thought maybe I could just pick one… but I thought better of it. I didn't want to come to this world and immediately start pissing people off.

We looked through the city now, all of the architecture was cool. I liked it there. After a while we emerged on the other side. There were more of the beautiful flowers and plants. I went over to one of the flowers and took a sniff. The fragrance was wonderful. I couldn't find words to describe the scent. I turned around and saw the others looking around. There was someone else there. The new man was looking at Markus. I went over near Markus to see what was going on. The new visitor was clearly a dreamer, he looked like a biker in black leather with long dark hair. He was giving Markus a dirty look. I thought the man was Lonewolf. I said hello to him and looked over at Markus. What the hell? I started to introduce them to each other but I was interrupted. Markus said he could go wherever he wanted to. I stopped and looked at Markus, I'm sure I had a puzzled look on my face. I was confused. Markus said something about permission to share dreams…
Lonewolf appeared to be annoyed about something and he threw an energy blast at Markus. Markus jumped up into the air and avoided it, coming back down and landing near Lonewolf… and answering the energy blast with a punch to the face. There was another blast of energy and they split apart. I was looking over at the two of them… what the hell? I was about to ask them what they thought they were doing when they pulled out swords and went at it. My next thought was that maybe they both saw themselves as alphas… and now they thought they had to fight it out. I sat down on the ground. Neither of them could truly harm the other, so I didn't figure there was any danger. I rolled my eyes at the pointlessness of the fight. They fought with swords for a bit, Lonewolf threw another energy blast, Markus deflected the energy blast. The errant energy blast hit in a patch of the beautiful flowers, setting them ablaze. Wait… they couldn't hurt each other, but they could make a mess of this place… I wondered if the people here would be pissed about destroying the flowers…
"Stop it!" I yelled as I flew over and positioned myself between Lonewolf and Markus, "What exactly are you two fighting about? Whatever it is, you're destroying the flowers!"
"Ask him what the fight is about," Markus said, pointing at Lonewolf, "He started it."
"I don't care who started it," I said, "Just stop it now. Ok? Can't we all just get along?" I looked between Lonewolf and Markus, who looked like they would rather go back to fighting than shake hands and make up. "If you guys absolutely must have it out, do it later… in the coliseum in the Outer Realms where no one can get hurt. Ok?" Lonewolf shot Markus one more dirty look before disappearing. I went over to Markus.
"You should have heard what he…" Markus started.
"Not now," I told Markus, "I don't care what started that mess. I'm just glad it's over for now. There wasn't supposed to be any fighting on this trip, you know."
"But he…" Markus started.
"No arguing, either, please." I said. I looked around the area. MoSh and Asuka had gotten a bit distracted. I wondered if they had noticed the fight. They were standing in a particularly tall patch of vegetation kissing each other. I noticed the vegetation was growing as they kissed… visibly growing. I saw the woman was behind us. I wondered if she had seen the fight… She was looking at MoSh and Asuka. She said their love makes the plants grow. Markus said we could make some plants grow to replace the destroyed ones. He kissed me. Plants started growing and blooming around us. I saw MoSh and Asuka lie down in the plants around them… and then they were completely concealed by the foliage. Markus and I sat down on the ground and disappeared into a thick grove of foliage of our own, kissing… PRIVATE…
