Mutant Ninja Penguins, that's all I need. Apparently there's a song by a band called Satan's Penguins called "Mutant Ninja Penguins (From Hell). Hilarious.

Hey, thanks for reading. I haven't actually caught up with the beginnings of everyone's journals. Some of them are very long, you know.

Do subscribers show up on a list somewhere? I'm just curious.

Spoilers for the end of Lucifer.

Things to Run Away From Really Fast #62: Stray Little Devils

Fragment: Misha Collins and I walk through a grassy field, looking for a shed or a house that contains something important.

Fragment: My own dark energies are overshadowed by the presence of bright blue.

I've somehow popped into the Sandman universe, after the end of the Lucifer series. Considering I'm the devil herself at the moment, albeit one from an alternate reality, I think it prudent to avoid people who might recognize me.

A group of the ex-Lucifer's allies are converging upon a town, ready to attack, for some reason. I have an image of him (from my avatar) crashing into one of the buildings with a semi-truck, stepping out unharmed. I realize that I'm going to have to hide my healing ability.

I make for the rooftops. I run up a ramp and leap onto the side of a three-story building, using tiny handholds to inch my way onto the roof. I get to the edge, and I pull myself up, and immediately scramble for cover at the back of the roof. Mazikeen jumps up the same way I came, armed with a sniper rifle and ready to take out enemies on the ground.

I notice that she's recovered the other half of her face.



I inch out of my hiding place to get a better look at her, and she turns around. "Lucifer?" she accuses, calling fire into the palm of her right hand.

"Um, no?" I say, "Not yours, anyway."

She doesn't seem to believe me, and being burned alive is never fun.

"'He flew outside of creation, and the nothing imposed itself upon him. Or maybe he imposed himself upon the nothing.'" I misquote, "It was something like that, anyway."

Yeah, that fireball doesn't seem to be dying down.

"I'm here to help! Really!"

"You're here to help?" She says mockingly, "What can you do?"

Some time later...

I'm a child in white, laid out over an altar. A man holds a knife out in front of him, poised to strike into my heart. Like lightening, I stand up and take the knife, slashing across his throat and spraying arterial blood into the audience. A woman licks her lips, and I wonder what it tastes like to her.

One sacrifice down.

Stray Little Devils. Scare Factor: 2.

Ah, you should have taught her what you can do! Also, sorry, I keep forgetting about visiting you at the right times <.<

Having read your dreams for awhile now...you have really crazy dreams and excellent recall. I'd like to see what you come up with while lucid. How do you get all these powers and characters in your dreams? I am wondering what you do during the day. Read a lot of comic books or something and the material works in way into your dreams or what?

No worries. Anyway, I was trying to make nice with my Lucifer's allies. Probably would have been more fun to fight her, though.

Yeah, I read a lot. Fantasy and sci-fi, mostly. I'm also a wannabe fiction writer, and I work in construction. When floor joists start floating around in the background, that's to blame. Characters tend to be a mix of fictional and original fictional characters, with some random DCs thrown in for plot convenience.

Powers aren't really acquired, right? If you spend enough time thinking about what telekinesis would be like, IRL, chances are you'll be able to do it in dreams. I end up staring at pencils on my desk occasionally, half expecting them to up and fly away. Which, by the way, flying is something I'd like to be able to do eventually.

Had this all neatly typed up before my computer crashed.

Things to Run Away From Really Fast #63: College

I need to get into the Ixburg Apartments. I pull out the screen from a window on the second floor. Before I climb in, I'm distracted by a group of people in the parking lot. I recognize the character from Bum Reviews, but he runs away as soon as he sees me.

I'm Marty McFly, in a mall, talking to Lorraine, his mom. I'm either in the future or the past, and I consider the fact that my chequing accounts shouldn't be working nearly as well as they are.

I'm in dorms in a school. I have a top bunk. There's a ventillation shaft leading from above my bed to the library, and I take it there and back a few times in the middle of the night. Someone catches me once, and I look back and see that the tunnel I crawled through was too small to fit a person.

I wander through the library during the day. I pick up a book and am amused to note that they cited Encyclopedia Dramatica as a reference (I can read in dreams).

Apparently I've transferred to ACAD in Calgary. I'm mad that I've been put down as a first year, and I realize that I have to do the paperwork to transfer all of my credits from my other school.

I talk to a guy in the dorms. He introduces himself as Josh or Joshua, and I mention that one of the DV members is named Josh/Joshua. He says that he's actually Loaf (he pronounces it "loof"), isn't that a weird coincidence? Then I run into Serenity and MoSH, as well as another girl I don't recognize.

Now I'm staying with roommates away from campus, and I have to find the Student Services table so I can change my courses around.

I'm following a story about two men who were intrepid adventurers in the wilds of Saskatchewan. I float down a cliff, following the story (the DCs can't see me). I realize that I'm dreaming, and I also notice that I'm barefoot. I think that the easiest way to get around that would be to shapeshift into one of the dogs, and I could follow the story better. I trot along the side of the river, trying to catch up to the group, but I notice that the setting is fading into white, and I feel myself starting to wake up.

College. Scare Factor: 2.

Woohoo! I'm in yet another person's dreams!

Actually, I live in Calgary, too I graduated from SAIT (which you probably already know is right next door to ACAD).

I remember you saying you were from Alberta. I didn't realize that you graduated from SAIT, though! And the C-train loudly announces SAIT's presence at the station ("SAIT/ACAD/Jubilee Station"?) for all to hear. Oddly, I've never actually been in the SAIT buildings.

Things to Run Away From Really Fast #64: Time Management

Cell phones are evil and I talk to my brother about comic book continuities. Apparently Batman showed up in the Sandman universe. I'm playing video games in a living room. I switch the gender on a character customization screen, which affects three dreams:

- A ghost enacts vengeance on his/her killer, and both go up in flames. There's a picture of a kitten involved.

- A warrior... guy... who looks like Ichigo from Bleach saves two main characters from... something, but one of the background DCs gets killed. The costume is warm, and he looks at the river, thinking about going for a swim. Zoom back to me with the video games, looking at a character screen that looks way different than the actual character did.

- I have to capture all six million Pokemon. I also have to click across a screen to keep them happy.

I'm in the same room, which is now a bar. I'm sipping on the large chai latte I bought before the coffee shop closed. Linkara is bartending. It's someone's birthday, and he randomly slices pieces off of an angel food cake when people come in. There are two cakes; one is hiding in a cupboard somewhere.

Time Management. Scare Factor: 2.

I end up staring at pencils on my desk occasionally, half expecting them to up and fly away.

O.O Wow, I think we have twin minds.

I wander through the library during the day. I pick up a book and am amused to note that they cited Encyclopedia Dramatica as a reference

Wouldn't want to see the grade you'd get from using THAT in a research project.

And the C-train loudly announces SAIT's presence at the station ("SAIT/ACAD/Jubilee Station"?) for all to hear. Oddly, I've never actually been in the SAIT buildings.

LOL yeah, except that ACAD gets the whole name out... the voice always says, "SAIT, Alberta College of Art and Design, Jubilee Station." What? It's too much of a mouthful to say Southern Alberta Institute of Technology?! Sure, you'd have to start the announcement from Sunnyside, but come on! Favouritism

I mostly only spent time in the buildings I had classes in I don't really know what the other parts of the campus are like. Similarly, I have never been through the doors of ACAD.

Mutant killer penguins? Awesome!

I hate it when this happens. >.>

This made me happy.

OMG. I'm going to have to get a creepier avatar.

And that image breaks my brain a little.

I'm in favour of this.

Aside from the graffiti hall, you're not missing much. I've been told that ACAD was designed by a prison architect. Odd choice for an art school, but hey, graffiti hall!

Is there a penguin-based pokemon? There totally should be. Wait for it...

Didn't sleep much.

Things to Run Away From #65: Choosing Sides

Two men are standing outdoors. The shorter man is yelling at the taller one.

"If you're not with us, you're against us!" He spits. Then he yells something about going back to the North if he can't support his friends.

The taller man stares back evenly, and says that there's more to the American Civil War than wounded pride.

Also, talking to Serenity about the ability to edit certain posts on DreamViews.

Choosing Sides. Scare Factor: 2.

what did the girl you didn't recognize that was with us look like?

Typo. I meant to say that I didn't know her name. I'm pretty sure she was Loaf's friend (I skimmed through his blog a while back).

A couple weekends ago, my girlfriend and I brought an angel food cake to her cousin's house for dinner. Surprise! Her cousin had one in the fridge.

Huh. I wonder if I picked that up from you.

Things to Run Away From Really Fast #66: The Last Unicorn

I'm a cross between Alice (in Wonderland) and the human form of The Last Unicorn. As per usual, I'm utterly convinced that I'm the character. I'm a lot more nervous and soft-spoken than I normally would be, and I feel completely out of my depth. I feel no indication that this could possibly be a dream.

The hunters from this clip get killed by a shapeshifter as they leave my forest.

I somehow end up with a group of soldiers. They're protecting me. I'm wearing one of their uniforms, which comes complete with this hat. The hat only makes an appearance once. After I get dressed, nobody else is wearing one.

We go into an atrium to get food. There are birds nesting on the ceiling, and we can't look up. If we do, they'll attack us. I can see them in my mind's eye. They're brightly coloured: red and blue and yellow, and they look remarkably pretty swarming above us. I have to resist the urge to look, and I keep my eyes straight ahead as I grab a vat of mashed potatoes. Of course, one of the other members of the group looks up, and we have to run away without the food.

I'm trying to draw the layout of the building we're in. Drawing seems to stabilize everything, and the rooms rearrange themselves to fit the drawing. As soon as I get involved in the plot again, everything starts back to shifting.

There's a stage. I don't remember why the stage is important. Chairs are set out for the evening, but it's mid-afternoon and no one is using them yet.

The Last Unicorn. Scare Factor: 3.

I was boring in this dream.

I have not read many of your entries yet but I read a couple because I recognized some characters from shows I watch like Castle and Supernatural. Good thing I did, your dreams are really interesting I'll be checking back often!

They're two awesome shows, aren't they? Thanks for reading.

------------------------

So, a sex dream is the only thing I remember in any detail. I actually am going to detail it here, because ironically, my public journal seems to be more private than my written one. Go figure.

Things to Run Away From Really Fast #67: Girls

I'm in one of my old bedrooms from when I was a teenager, flirting with a girl who is, apparently, one of my female friends. She has short, reddish hair and is probably taller than me.

Spoiler for Mature Content:

We end up on the bed, her leaning against me, back pressed into my chest, leaning her head against my shoulder. Her breath tickles my neck.

She says something and I laugh, willing her clothes away with a thought. She smirks, presses kisses onto my neck. "I wondered when you were going to get it," she says in a low voice. I run a hand over one of her small breasts, down the smooth skin of her stomach. I trace two fingers down through smooth curls, bringing my fingers back up to brush against her clit. She arches up into the contact, letting out a low moan.

"Shh..." I say, letting my lips brush against her ear. "Parents in the other room."

I trace my fingers through the folds of the labia, feeling the wetness there, and she hisses sharply as I push the tips of my fingers in.

"Ow." She says. "Watch your nails."

I will my nails to grow shorter, as they've shifted length during the dream. I mumble an apology and press a kiss into her temple, and continue to tease her.

I can feel it when she gets close. Her climax carries us both through it, as attuned to her as I am. When it's over, I climb over her so that we're facing each other, and I kiss her lips. She kisses back, and I notice vaguely that this is more solid than it usually is in dreams.

We lay on the bed for a while, lazily making out, before the dream fades out.

Other fragments:

Walking through a wasteland of a city. There are "heroes" here that are similar to the Power Rangers, and they tend to fight the monsters that plague the place. One of the monsters tries to attack me, but I ignore it.

Talking to Tim, a kid from my hometown, the same age as my younger brother. He's making fun of the entire setting, saying it's as stupid as "that Spirited Away movie" we watched repeatedly one summer. I wonder aloud if the story-line is similar because both shows are Japanese.

Watching the show in a living room in one of my family's old houses. My mom asks me about it, and I say that they made a whole bunch of Doctor Who references because the shows are similar, and both British.

Wondering at the length of my big toenail as I cut it. I didn't know toenails could get that long.

Talking to Raven Knight about the possibility of her teaching the BD DVA class, but she doesn't understand what I'm talking about.

Girls. Scare Factor: 1.

As per usual, I'm utterly convinced that I'm the character.

This happens more than I'd like to, especially when it's a Sailor Moon referenced dream (which is a major dream sign for me, obviously)! Usually, I *am* her, which makes it so hard to realize that it's a dream

We go into an atrium to get food. There are birds nesting on the ceiling, and we can't look up. If we do, they'll attack us. I can see them in my mind's eye. They're brightly coloured: red and blue and yellow, and they look remarkably pretty swarming above us. I have to resist the urge to look, and I keep my eyes straight ahead as I grab a vat of mashed potatoes. Of course, one of the other members of the group looks up, and we have to run away without the food

Wow, I would love to have seen something like that! Unusual birds are pretty common in my dreams, actually. Too bad that DC had to ruin everything

Hm, I know what you mean. If I think back during the dream, I can recall a character's entire history as if it's my own. It's kind of hard to realize you're dreaming when all of the weird stuff that happens during dreams seems completely normal for your character. It's not like portals, evil little demon girls or broken fourth walls would faze Dean Winchester.

Seriously, that show is messed up.

Wow, I would love to have seen something like that! Unusual birds are pretty common in my dreams, actually. Too bad that DC had to ruin everything

An individual bird was more or less a solid colour. It was when you put hundreds of them together that they were absolutely breathtaking. I guess I can't blame a character for wanting to see that. Was it worth it, though? I have vague memories of him being eaten alive on the way out.

Well, maybe not. That would have been cool, though.

Things to Run Away From Really Fast #68: Welcome to the Jungle

"Don't see why we had to take a job on this bo shui kueh piece of rock." I grumble to myself.

Mal steps onto the loading ramp. "Who's in rutting command here, Jayne?" He doesn't wait for an answer.

"All right everybody," he says to the crew assembled inside the ship. "We've got 'til nightfall before anything needs doing. With the exception a Jayne, here," he slaps me on the shoulder and ignores my growl, "You can all enjoy the benefits of civilization until that time. Kaylee? I believe you had something you needed to pick up..."

Mal goes over to Kaylee and discusses specifics of cost and necessity, and I pick up two 20-liter buckets full of water and start trudging into the muddy rainforest.

The first group of people I run into turn out to consider this a sacred duty or something, and decide not to kill me for this reason. That's really all I can remember up until the point that I join forces with a younger girl and go climb up a tower that just appeared. My boots have been traded out for the running shoes that I wear in real life.

The tower turns into an insanely high jungle gym, of the fall-off-and-you-die variety. The four people I'm with turn this into a game, describing the best way to get to the top. There are posts built into certain places for no reason, and these turn out to be part of the puzzle. I run up a 45 degree angle and slip, barely catching myself. I keep jumping upward until I'm climbing the underside of a slide. I've reached the top, and I'm just about to pull myself up -

I wake up.

Welcome to the Jungle. Scare Factor: 3. You know, Mal, as it is my dream, technically, I'm in command.

bo shui kueh: ...a restaurant? Apparently, I need to work on my Chinese.

bo shui kueh: ...a restaurant? Apparently, I need to work on my Chinese.

*giggle*

hehe, high jumgle gym and towers appearing out of nowhere, sounds fun.
I dreamed about you today, btw.

I didn't realize anyone else knew about The Last Unicorn.

The tower turns into an insanely high jungle gym, of the fall-off-and-you-die variety.

Sounds awesome.

Hehe, I enjoyed reading that jungle dream. Pushy DCs can be difficult to get along with.
