Clyde Machine's Dream Journal

[Clyde Machine]

The Portal gun! Drinking grape juice. "I'm a ghost of twilight!" Songs sang at the top of my lungs. Knife fights. The Demon's Spellcasting Book. (More on this to come!) Crashing graduation ceremonies. (More than once!) A Skylit Drive. The "Ninja'd" B4k4 EP release party. Cactus plant does 73 damage! ....and way more than you can handle, all in the DJ below!

Complete your first Task of the Year. _GOALS_ "A house of love." Visit Julia's house and kiss her while there. "A Serious Oneironaut." Have 20 lucid dreams. "Demon's Spellcasting Book."

Assemble, plant, and detonate a high-power explosive. "The Prophet." Meet my/a dreamguide. "Now, bark like a dog." Become a canine of some sort. _CHARACTERS FEATURED_ Sweetheart Julia: My girlfriend of 2 1/2 years; we are very much committed to one another, which has made having a predominantly long-distance relationship that much more bearable. She is a near-constant character in my dreams, and for good reason. If you're an avid reader, you'll come to know her name quite well! Family Members Dad: My dad; very important figure in my life, always has been. Mom/Ma: My mom; also a very important figure in my life, always has been. Sarah: My older sister; moved out of the house to my mother's many years ago, and moved from there to various other locations last year. We are on rather negative terms with each other nowadays. Emily: My little sister; moved out of the house to my mother's a few years ago, retaining regular contact. We are on rather positive terms with each other nowadays. Friends and Important Associates B4k4/Aaron: My good friend B4k4, which is his screenname. He is a writer, musician, gamer, thinker, and a number of other things. An interesting character; shows up in dreams in interesting and mostly unexpected ways. Shini: My good friend Shini, which is his nickname based off his screenname of Shinigami564. He's also a gamer, but is definitely an interesting character to have around. He doesn't show up in my dreams often, but he's there nonetheless. Paul: The singer and rhythm guitarist for my former band, And In The Day She Walks. He's shown up in many of my dreams, but not as much as of late. Mike: The drummer for aforementioned band, shows up in dreams once in a blue moon. Dom: The bassist for aforementioned band, appears as often as Mike does. Michael "Jag" Jagmin: The lead singer of the post-hardcore band A Skylit Drive. I'm a huge fan of ASD, and they've shown up a lot in my dreams. Why that is I'm not sure, 'cause I haven't seen other bands show up in my dreams quite the way ASD have. Matt Tuck: Lead singer and guitarist for metalcore group Bullet for my Valentine. He's been in a few of my dreams as an important figure. Not sure why him though. And, a note and message from Clyde: The title of this dream journal alludes to my interest in a particular object I discovered in one of my dreams, the Demon's Spellcasting Book. While I have yet to delve inside it during a lucid dream, I would like to find out what the contents of the book are, and what my dreaming mind has in store for me with this book. I'm sure this'll turn out to be an interesting adventure, so I'll keep this updated in case there are updates to the story of my quest to find the Demon's Spellcasting Book, and what secrets it holds for me. Why was I given the book? Am I a demon? Can I use the spells inside it? If I am no demon, but just a mere human (albeit a oneironaut at that), what business do I have with such a book? Well, you'll find out the answers to those questions when I do! Read on to see how things unfold. ~Clyde _Demon's Spellcasting Book Quest Progress_ 37: 2.27.10; 9:35AM The Demon's Spellcasting Book.
