Dream ~ Dragon Family

Alright like I said this dream is going to be a long one. It's full of imagery too.


The dream focuses on the setting. A camera scrolls from below through a marble door. Everything is made from a tanned stone. Or maybe it was just the lighting as everything has a warm hue to it in this room. It starts panning right where I get the see the elaborate arches and various steam punk style invention set up in a narrow loft to the right all within this Renaissance architure. And then music begins playing somewhere. At first sounding like "I need some Sleep" (just the music box). I hear someone having a discussion with the father of the church (turns out that's what this building is) about some kind of sin committed by another. A wind blows and I see a thin curtain fabric move, this acts as a scene transition cause next I see an old woman. She is small and hunched over, like a sweet little grandmother who's always baking. She tells her testimony to this sin and claims the only reason she hasn't committed suicide for it herself is that she wants to give others her testimony before her years are up. I see a sort of brief image flash back of her killing her grandson. All the while she's still smiling rather innocently in "real-time" which makes her seem rather manic. Around this point the melancholy music box gets subtly deeper and the pace changes. Finally there are some lyrics too and they're sung by a voice resembling Marco Hietala from Nightwish. It makes me sad though that I can't remember the lyrics. The song was so sad and angry in lyrics but had a tone of hope and regret. But anyways this song continues at certain points during the rest of this dream.

Oh I forgot one other piece of scenery key to this song is some brass "device". It maintain the theme of steam punk but with an ancient greek look about it too. It was some sort of Globe made of large broken gears. In the middle of it were cloth, string and brass beads. Each piece had some markings on them, pulling on one area inside the globe affected another.

Next there was a sudden change where I was a guest at this rich man's mansion because his son befriended. me. Who by the way was only in middle school type age and all his servant were strangely black women wearing clothes suiting what they probably wore during slavery times in Southern United States. We had gone to the balcony as I ate a little brunch with the boy's family. It didn't last long as the father left in quite a rush. The mother talked a little while longer before telling me of  a guest's room since it was late and I was so far from home. I settle into a rocking chair at the balcony. The hot summer night felt comfortable and thankfully free of insects.

Meanwhile the servants gossiped, sometimes including me like my coworkers in real life . The head servant,  is one of the oldest of the women. They don't really listen to her well and she's trying to call them outsdie for something. "I can yell at them to get out here. I can be scary you know." I say tiredly in my rocking chair and trying to produce a somewhat serious face.

The son comes back saying he wants to show me something. This is where the aforementioned song begins playing again as we come before this shallow creek. Did I mention this kid is crazy smart? Well we arrive to this place which is in a nearby ruined tower reminscient of Renaissance dome designs. (Or just imagine those crumbling buildings in Ferelden if you've ever played Dragon Age. Only less majestic looking and more haunting as it is late sunset) Once we get up there I see that brass device from this dream earlier. The kid mentions something about his father but I can't recall it as the next thing I can remember is waking up near the edge of a small cliff just a ways from that creek that was nearby the tower we had climbed into.  Only it is dawn now. My memory has some vague recollection of fighting a giant lizard...

"Here use this" that kid tells me as I'm litterally sprawled across the gravel trying to gain my bearings.
"It'll make you stronger." He tells me. Vaguely I am aware of his pet komodo dragon but mostly I notice his father coming with a army of men.

He is wearing bright green/red/gold outfit with a cape, and I realized I am too though moist with water and covered with dirt in places. His son (the kid behind me) is wearing more muted autumn colors and rather than looking fancy his clothes look meant for travelling. The father seems angry; he clenches his jaw a few times before actually speaking. The bottle I had was glass spray bottle that looked like cologne belonged in it. Nonethless if there was any time I needed strength is was now. I used 3 sprays in the direction of my chest, some gettting in my mouth.

The fog on my mind lifted suddenly there were things in thsi world I suddenly saw and knew. The one who befriended me is really my brother and the reason for his genius was because of our father (that angry man clenching his jaw). But I can't figure out why I was separated from them, only it dawns on me that my brother had used a process on me that his father did on him. It's why he was such a genius. Brother jumps fromt he cliff disappearing into thin air just as father starts shouting. Though I never saw where he went I swear I heard the sound of wings unfolding and meeting the wind.

I'm obviously confused so father seeming angry as first softens and starts "explaining" to me what's going on, which is exactly as I surmised with a few details thrown in making my brother sound like a villain. The whole father and son reunited, disowned brother blah blah.

Fast forward40 years later I am still the same age since whatever was done to me made me immortal. It also granted me a lot of power. The entire time my brother had been hiding, he aged some so he looked my age instead of a middle schooler. But inside he was a bitter old hermit and coward paying for his mistakes. What had just happened recently is I uncovered some secrets about our real mother. She died years ago during our childbirth (yes we're twins and somehow different age? idk). The reason for her death was an experiment run very similarly to Final Fantasy 7's Jenova project which, in this case, involved putting dragon's DNA while we were still a fetus. This discovery of course included a flash back where complications during birth required father to cruelly cut us out of her belly instead of giving a proper C-Section. Father was a power-hungry mad man from the beginning, though he always seemed so stable before. The purpose of the experiment was his quest for ultimate power. My separation from my family is left unexplained for now.

Now remember the creek, cliff, and the tower? We are just right of the tower underneath the arch of a roman aqueduct that meets with the back wall of the ruined cathedral. It is sun set again so the sun is behind the cathedral and everything is a reddish hue. I never actively looked my brother until now. I speak to him, just barely containg how upset at am with all my discoveries. "It's been a long time brother. Father knows of this place he plans to catch you."
"It's too late we cannot stop him now."
"You! Have you tried to all? All these years I was in the dark-" my temper flares. I couldn't grasp a way to stop our father from his goal either but was willing to try.

Now a gift I received from this mutation is precognition so before it ever happens I see a half-dragon shadow appear to our left. I know immediately who it is. "Brother move!" He spots this just in time changing into his half-dragon form and flying of in  an instant. The poor structure didn't stand a chance and crumbled when his claws hit it. Morphing wasn't a strong point of mine. Instead of doing it instantly I fall backwards off the structure and change mid-way fast enough to swoop back up and fly off. Landing it's fully night time and all three of us are gathered at a stone bridge in a park. There's a couple lamps that light the trail but no one is around. Father at this point transforms into a full dragon. He was already bigger than us half morphed now he's 4 times our size and we stand two feet taller than a human. Me and brother both change to full dragons but we remain only half his size.

Obviously he built upon his success with us to give himself power as well. Only he took it a step further. Where we were humans with some bits of dragon DNA he used it more fully, the human DNA of his being only secondary. His power is way beyond ours and I can feel it.

Both me and father are black dragons while my brother is blue. He's a bit weak having survived the cascading rocks and changing so quickly. His morale is still low and he refuses to hide with me, instead he ops to just let father kill him. It comes down to me to fight him here and now.

If you havae ever seen a Night Fury's breath attack That's what I could do except I could rapid fire twice before needing another second to inhale again. He seems completely invulnerable to them, except I stun him with one of my magic attacks by using my tail like I would my hands in human form (even though I have opposable thumbs in this form). Falling over on his back I fire my blast as different parts of his body hoping to find a weak point. Some weaker than others but nothing truly weak...at least not on his front. He gets up smiling devilishly at me. I don't think he even felt my attacks. And they were the strongest in my arsenal. The chase is on as he tries attacking me with claw swipes. Until I couldn't retreat at once point his face came really close to mine, about to unleash his red fire breath attack. I took that moment to try firing first into his mouth. I was quicker, firing several rounds. He seemed to chok for  moment this seemed great! I took this opportunity to create some distance between us and just in time too because a giant purple blast similar to mine rocketed out of his mouth then arced into the sky. I jsut gave him a more powerful breath attack! And this one imploded on itself creating a large area of destruction.

The very core of my battle tactics is taking whatever energy my opponent threw at me and turning it at them. I realized that doing so here would exhaust me and probably give father a new power each time.Add that to the fact he was practically invincible from my attacks. My coward brother was no where to be seen again. So fleeing was now at the top of my list. I take off flying, using nearby trees for cover. Eventually father gives up, flying in place as he taunts me like he can read my thoughts.

I was thinking of how he could kill mother like that, how he became a monster. "Love? I loved once, do you know what it's like to losing so many things you love?!" This seemed odd since I knew he was responsible for his wife's death. Maybe guilt drove him mad. I don't know but he he flies off headin in the direction of the city I made a life for myself in. He was going to destory it all.

My second sight wouldn't reveal where  my brother went so I had little choice but to follow father. On the way to the city I passed over the mansion where it all happened. There was a white flash and suddenly I'm in my younger body as just a little boy. We're somewhere on the land owned by my family. I can see some gardens and a large gazeebo, and the flowers hint it to be spring. First thing I notice though is the tenseness of my limo driver and the fact he is driving backwards. Though I don't speak a question, I look around. In front of us a car is driving in on us. We jerk to a stop as another mobster looking car cages us in from behind. The driver is the joker, in his signature purple suit and all. I look up front and see The Penguin (another batman villain since he doesn't get much attention) holding a gun in my direction. Assassins?! I duck into the seat. Trying to will myself back to present time in my body. Where I can resist death. A red dot appears in my vision flying at me. I flinch, putting my hands in front of me....and I wake up looking directly at my clock, but with my pillow over my face. It takes effort for me to move but eventually I can see all the numbers on the clock and they don't shift so I know for sure I'm awake now. whew

Dream ~ Robot Video Game

A short dream, enjoy it cause the next one is going to be really long xD

 I'm sitting at home, actually it's my grandparents old brick house again with the hardwood floors. My friends Joe and Ethan are there. Ethan's on the laptop and for whatever reason a very pink/grilly dating game is on the computer and it sounds stupid. Eventually at least he changes to a cool game. Where some iconic video game characters are robots and fighting each other in combat. It's beta though and we are seeing this first hand all amazed and wanting to try it out. Then I see a Spartan (halo) he has the machine gun turret and he's bascially obliterating folks even though he moves slowly. Eventually his ammo runs out and he's a bit in the open now, no longer int he corridor. A giant hoving vehicle that is bascially a tank though the desighn itself is like a jet-copter with the wings missing. While out of ballistic ammo the spartan bot can fire a single plasma shot from his gun. It's strong but inaccurate. Consideringt he bulk of what's before it inaccurate doesn't matter. The most vulnerable back-side of the vehicle takes damage and the pilot turns it around faster than the Spartan can circle it. Soon practically face to face, I can see the front is meant for 3 pilots. The head being at the bottom in the middle. The entire bridge though is more exposed than the back as it has glass windows similar to Metroid Prime where it looks like energy is corsing through it. Joe comments on how it's such a noob vehicle as it seems over powering and Ethan confirms that. Stating there's always a noob tube weapon or class in a game. He fires a fe shots at teh cockpit and the vehickle touches the ground seemingly deactivated as the pilot jumps out the middle portion oft he "tank" releases a smaller version of itself out and he takes a seat in that. The previous tank explodes, before the pilot can do anything though Ethan fires. NOt missing since he just happeed to land at point blank range. The architecture of the place has been concrete corridors and this open room was like a airplane warehouse with the doors open.

I wish I could draw these things because the tank design was so awesome! Alas Thisi s the best I can do =(

Dream ~ Mutant Slaughter

This dream starts in a computer shop where I am working trying to get the TVs fixed. It isn't officially open but there are some young female customers my age in the store looking around at merchandise, while standing close to me so I'm really self-conscious. Well what I'm working on is on the floor, it's a group of TVs  of varying size connected creating a vague cross shape. Most of them change to a channel displaying a lot of muscled men posing and such (like a bodybuilding competition). Blushing I quickly work to change the channel to find one showing some really extreme body modifications people do on themselves. Since this is taking place in the future some things here I haven't even heard of being done before. It shows people getting their faces changed like in "Repo! The Genetic Opera". A musical genre movie, I love it! Most worrying to me though was the man and is very young son being altered so he was like some rock/metal soldier hybrid with his son sporting a large left arm kind of like Hellboy. Poor kid if he ever changes his mind later! I remember seeing all different kinds of things for several minutes before the dream shifts almost like I was in the TV.

Only some people where I suddenly found myself had modifications like this. The sort of "auditorium" where I was now was actually a party, many people knew each other since this was an annual party. A year before I came along not expecting much but enjoyed just talking with some people there. There some handsome looking guys there and obviously gay by their apparently picking some other guys and, well body language can speak for itself.  They seemed to pick some other guys, and it seemed they didn't even come with them so yeah could motives be a little more obvious? Nearing the end of the party I my eye caught a tall, dark, and strong guy hanging out near the front stage checking me out. The man was huge, over a head taller than me and built like a tank.  He looked familiar though I couldn't really figure out why. He greeted me friendly and we got along great. I realized a little bit after talking that now that he party is ending I have to wake up from this dream (kind of like dream sharing, this is the future afterall). I quickly ask him where he lives and replies with something like "Harding" I can't quite remember now but I take to memorizing the town's name. "That's not far from where I live I'll drop by soon!" I promise him shouting as this world fades and "reality" settles back in.

Now where I live my parents are important people who protect everyone within the confines of the shield from the outside's modern age war wages against man and mutants as each is fighting on just about every front possible. Fire isn't even limited to the other race as they bicker and shoot at their own "species" as well. It's impossible to leave this shielded city without a crystal, all of which are kept in a locked chamber that powers the shield itself so taking one would weaken it. But I wanted to break free and spread my wings anyway so I break into the chamber without disabling the security because I just don't have that skill. A giant  floating and dull metallic ball hovers low in the room. Soon I discover that to be the security mechanism. It shoots a gold beam of light at me which only stings as much as a static shock, however the real danger of it is the floors. It activates the thick semi-transparent "bars" on the floor so they raise up to the roof blocking the way out. Understanding the urgency in which I had to act I surprise myself by jumping onto a 'chandelier", swinging to the most vulnerable crystal and snatching it from space. The shield surround this chamber itself collapses revealing that some of the walls were merely illusion as it had crumbled ages ago.

Now the thing is that the shield chamber is enclosed underground. Father probably already heard the security alarms go off so he's going to be coming soon. I make for the broken wall only to have that ball raise the floor just a ways from it. Backing off and make towards the now closed entrance. It tries to cage me in by raising floors around me but I'm quicker and circle the obstacles til I"m around the security ball. The system isn't really very bright as it fires right when I'm on top of it. It didn't take much force for me to bring it on my position in which it gets raised to the roof and bursts into a bunch of shards. The entrance reopens but like I said i wanted to avoid father's wrath if he caught me down there.

There isn't much hope of escaping back to the surface, but the city I knew so well couldn't be totally self sufficient. Already I could see mysterious pipes stretching out. Unless I knew I could walk into them I wasn't going to waste time. Whoever stole the crystal (which happened to be me) wouldn't be let off lightly. Everything could have been better planned out yet it was already too late and the net was going close around me if I didn't learn quick. So going around the chamber's modern concrete walls with military designations on them contrast to the sort of magic/fantasy look inside it of it, and the Utopian society it supports.. I'm starting to see the world in another light (or dark) when I come upon a town hidden in the darkness down here. I'm surprised a little but realize the town "Harding" that I remember being nearby is this place right here. Vaguely I think back to my childhood. could this have been where I lived at one time?

Old houses lay there barely kept and mutants have made them their homes here. Right underneath a floating plate that completely blotted out the sky. I realize that if they are searching for me they will inevitably find this place and hunt the mutants here too! A terrible thing to happen all because I wanted to meet a guy in person. A rather scary and demonic looking man with Ram horns, black shaggy fur and huge muscles (a mutant) stops me as I approach the outer part of this community. It's hard to seem him as I'm not used to the lack of light here but faint reds in his eyes and hair have a sort of glow that reveal him to me.

I tell him I was going to meet a someone in Harding as i motion in front of me. He just crosses his arms and nodded completely believing me. Next...I can't quite remember because it happened fast. Next thing I know soldiers in armor similar in design of the antagonists from Killzone arrive guns ablazing. It's somehow bright morning and there's snow about instead of the dead land I saw before full of nothing but dirt and decay. A snow mobile flies over me as I duck under a steep slope. I remember seeing some children being shot down as the man who had stopped from entering town earlier tried futilely to save them only to be shot down as well. A terrible fate all because of me...and I was about to found. Ideas were starting to formulate in my head. Options still open to me like running or negotiating. But before this dream continues further I wake up to the annoying sound of a garage door.

Dream ~ Rotisserie Chicken Attempts Murder

This takes place further in the future though I am still my own age. The dream opens up to the old red brick hours my grandparents lived in when I was still little. Grandma is still herself doing all the cleaning and stuff she does but probably on her last legs (metaphorically) as she doesn't walk well without support and has makees a terrible gasping noise when she needs to breath sometimes that I worry she'll die right then and there. The house has seen just a little remodeling for the sake of making room but otherwise just like I remember for my childhood. Living with her now though are 2 other little children whom get to play with all my past "treasures". (toys & antique games like Spyro 1 lol) They're cool kids but I get tired of them and try to retreat to my room playing a game only they find me quickly. And I quickly realize the door doesn't actually shut. At some point during this dream though I am upstairs with Marcus (17), my other brother (apparently Joe Jonas lol) and my sister (15 tho I have no sister irl). Marcus comes in jokingly telling her a plan to surround her by six mice, a plan that would apparently get us out of trouble somehow? She shudders at the idea and begins screaming when she sees Joe bring in a box of white mice. Joe drops the box and hops under the bed sheets focusing his psychic power to control the mice to surround her. She flees the room and we're all laughing.

 Somehow Joe is instead under the bed and starts screaming "Ow!" followed by some pig squealing. We assume it's our pet pig and though it hurts Joe is trying to coax him out yet getting bitten until he couldn't take it anymore and gets out from under the bed. At the same time our pig runs out squealing in fear followed by a very demonic squeal and the bed flipping over to reveal a floating undead piggy with a body of a rotisserie chicken...and it's floating in a brown detective's coat. We try to fight it eventually destroying the head yet the floating chicken body forms a mouth where its spine begins and starts biting me! It's too strong so opt to run away downstairs with the door closing behind us. The house has three floors (now a fictional instead of Grandma's house) The top floor has 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, and a sort of balcony overlooking down to the first floor interior. Second floor is at "ground leve" has the kitchen and it's own sort of living room. While the first floor is somehow also at ground level, its floors are hardwood. The chicken may be stuck upstairs but over here is a demonic strip of some jelly monstrosity with a watermelon pattern and bulbous jelly eyes. I know this sort of creature has appeared before because on the inside of the pantry door (ugh of all places) is a solidified bar of jelly contain pieces of previous....things. I find another bar, our last one, and start slamming it against the creature which traps it in the bar. I notice its indestructibly as it just breaks into pieces trying to escape. I catch most of it but flimsy shreds elude me and the bar is too full to really catch the rest without fear they'll dig into a small part of my skin or orifices.

I head outside to grab our car because the house just isn't that safe right now. "I" don't  notice those two children mentioned earlier following a nemesis of mine whose pretending to be nice and that I've wronged him (he also happens to be a pig xD). Well anyways our car is somewhat of a prototype hover car. It sits within a larger shell which one could easily climb into. Starting up the engines the actual car itself floats just a little bit revealing a sort of "sphere" roting with dots along it at the base glowing yellow. The outer shell boosts the car forward in a gradual way (unlike a slingshot). Flying up and out I try to pass through the leaves of a nearby tree only to realize they built the tree house so low on the branches that the space normally there is too small so I dodge it  going past the tree and turning around. Somehow I drove the car actually INSIDE the house to pick everyone up. Things were still going crazy. Mom, Dad, Mia (cousin), Marcus, and grandma were in now but others were not. Remember the interior balcony I mentioned? We picked up my sister who after seeing the mice apparently had cowered in the attic, Joe was trapped upstairs with a paroling demonic chicken so he hid inside a hamper. He jumped out and into the car fast as he could with the chicken in tow. They had to grab his arms as I strafed  the hover car away to keep the chicken from jumping in. Somehow it looked sad as we floated away...slowly now that it was hampered by more people than it was supposed to have in it.

Dream ~ Kidnapper Hijacks Minds

So me and maybe...5 other people of varying ages are kidnapped with 4 being male and only two being female. The kidnapper threw us in a metal cargo storage box, or maybe it was something off of an 18 wheeler. I do know that it was a dull green and that it was freaking cold in the winter. We had no food, no one trusted each other and one guy was a drug addict having a withdrawal. Strangely the youngest woman stayed rather close to him. Anyways one day the door opens and he leads us out, gruffly. I can't remember walking into it but we are all in a minivan now. Just the prisoners not the kidnapper, instead is rather cheerful and homey looking wife is at the wheel. Just imagine the perfect american Grandma and you got her summed up. When we get out of the van I notice some acne plagued teenagers doing some kind of tour which for a moment I think it's a high school until I realized all the middle schoolers here are there  for orientation for their new school.

The place is nice, new and kind of reminiscent of a water park with all the flowing fountains about and shining sun. We get to the main entrance and I immediately recognize the architecture to match that of my middle school. I keep quiet expecting to see a labyrinth when walking in. Instead the inside of the school matched the design of a school I made up during another dream involving a secret mission I took part of when I had clairvoyance. Here's the layout

Seeing this freaks me out, and alerts me to the fact that I am dreaming. A haze enters my mind, the next thing I know we are in front of two elevators. Supposedly the same school as the architecture is the same but only one elevator is open. I feel fearful of it, at some point I see dripping black numbers painted on it (996). Everyone sees this but Sean, a black coworker of mine in real life, is inexplicably drawn to it like he's hypnotized. I try to push him back but he continues walking as if my resistance isn't there as all. My feet reach the metal part of the floor dividing the elevator from the rest of the room. I'm almost in panic, but shoving it down as I know it won't help me. It seems futile but at the last moment "Adam" (that druggie I mentioned earlier. He's Caucasian with red/blond hair and chubby) brushes past us and sacrifices himself in the elevator. Multiple "No!" rings around the room as the door closes quickly while the elevator is already descending....

Mysteriously as if in black smoke we find him in that room behind some stacked UPS boxes lying face down. parts of his skin that are exposed to our view looks red everyone gathers gingerly touching him and trying to turn him. Wondering if he is dead, for some reason I see a "premonition" of him getting up and biting like a zombie, suddenly with pastel green skin. It comes as a realization to me that this is my dream (like in the movie Inception). Using my mind I create a cloud of stars imbued with the holy element as a weapon ready to attack. My fear isn't realized but suddenly an ungodly woman's scream is heard. I turn. The room is gone, turned to rubble as a red desert lies before me contrasting with a light blue sky fitting a winter morning. I see my kidnapper there and he's holding his wife down by the hair. She's crying out for mercy as he holds his dagger menacingly. His daughter about 20 is also there staring him down angrily....

The End
