Fighting the Balance

Dreamed on 2017.07.17.0812 Furiously trying to text someone where I am while walking quickly down the halls, but I'm having trouble. A child who sees me having trouble is laughing at me. Eventually she points out that I've died and am in ghost/angel/etc form now. I have trouble being convinced until she shows me that we can walk through walls or fly, etc, and also no one interacts with us. I spend a long time helping people--touching their minds and influencing them while they sleep, as well as finding new ghost/angels and showing them the ropes. I say "angels" but I know we're not. But we are good/positive spirits. There is a room we can go, I am aware, where we can fall asleep and be done with this stage of things, but I enjoy it and the unknown after it is scary. Also, it's pretty common for the good/positive spirits to want to sleep and reach the next stage, but none of the negative spirits seem to be doing that, so... there's a bit of an imbalan...

Second Chances

Dreamed on 2017.07.21.0424 Some anarchist/terrorist guy attacks the grocery store I work in and tries to escape, but I slow down my perception of time and take off after him. I'm in something like a Goliath from StarCraft, but the top section is capable of flight, which I use. I track him as he leaves the store, then send a barrage of missiles and bullets. He fires back with machine gun like things. We take it out into the parking lot and continue firing with no one taking any damage and the rockets just falling around him on the ground without exploding. Eventually I just get point blank and we're both shooting each other and the bullets aren't doing anything, as if it's a laggy computer game or something. So I suggest dude just leaves and goes home and doesn't come back. Like, ever. Please. And his wife agrees with this very happily and so he agrees to too. After I think they leave, I realize I should pick up all the rockets in case ammunition starts working aga...

The Raven-Priest's Ask

Dreamed on 2018.06.07.0741 Message said I should see what some priest has to say, cause they've got a mission for me, so I show up and it's a super traditional-feeling Catholic service with a real raven-priest, in the full feathery getup, talking about the three-way war currently festering between island nations on the other side of the planet. The worship ends, people leave, and I find him in the shadows backstage where we talk. I decipher she's actually a woman, and subtly comment on it in a way that shows I know without actually spelling it out, and indicating that I'm not going to judge. In other words, I 100% Father Brown this situation. Then we debate the philosophy of engaging in political struggles as an outsider from an imperialist nation. She only allows me two questions, and we banter wittily on equal ground. Ultimately she convinces me that I should at least go there and get to know some of the people on the ground, at the very least, even if I don't...

"we don't want to live by violence, but we still want to live"

Dreamed on 15.11.17.2352 In a large supermarket? or movie theater? Struggling to get out among the masses of people in light of the event. I make it back to the house earlier than Rachel and start securing the house--see her, greet her excitedly, finish securing the house together. Realize that one of the rooms (the greenhouse-y room where we grow... peppers? mushrooms? something like that that we've managed to grow in this dusty world--is open to the outside except for flaps of plastic and can't be secured. Men show up in motorcycles and we hide and listen and watch as they find the greenhouse and talk about the vegetables--they leave without taking any, but we know they'll be back now. What can we do in this world if we don't want to live by violence, but we still want to live?

Stealing Rocks?

Dreamed on 2014.02.09.0415 Find a bit of hollow rock in a cool funnel-ish stalagmite shape and rinse it and it's all coppery inside. Don't really want to carry stuff, but it's cool. Start walking again, then find a lot more of these cool coppery rocks with tools and water for rinsing, strewn across the path. It's a dig and geologists have been uncovering these. Walking further. I'm in a state park, apparently, and I find a gorgeous hollow rock with very fancy crystal displays and maybe gold in it. Think about taking it. I pick it up and take my shirt off to put over it so no one else will realize what an amazing thing I found and am stealing from the park. Then I realize it's part of a large collection. I ask nearby park staff dude who stocks them, and he's not allowed to give his opinion on it, but I get the sense that he recommends I leave it here with the others. We talk a bit and he's cool and I start to realize that I will leave it here because...

Unwilling Criminal Mercenary

Dreamed on 2012.04.16 I’m an expert swordsman, young adult, a little naive (referred to, henceforth, in third person). Falls in (because he needs work) with a band of men that he thinks will operate fairly similar to the Firefly crew. Land at a grocery store and he and crew start to take control of the store. Told to kill anyone in your way, send any loot to the front of the store. He isn’t sure what the main objective is (presumably not just to rob the individual civilians), but is told simply to neutralize the people. First corner he turns, there’s an employee who knows a few things about swords who has armed several girls and is trying to teach them a lesson. The employee sees the MC coming sword drawn, and runs at him to attack. “You don’t want to do that,” MC says, but the man fights anyway and is quickly killed. MC looks at dying body in shock, then looks at girls who raise their swords (incompetently). “There was no point for his death. Put down your swords, and I won’...

Jewelry Sale

Dreamed on 2013.08.18.105 After the discovery that some of the necklaces I made out of thrift-store and inherited gems included particularly amazing stones that might be quite valuable, I end up displaying all my jewelry (and jewelry making supplies) to be viewed and potentially purchased by the public. Everyone is looking around and talking about things, but the couple who made me do this event, a Japanese couple from Colorado, end up deciding that they want everything. They want the fancy stones, and they want all my other stuff just so no one ends up with something that looks too similar. They plan on melting my other supplies down (even though most of them are rocks, gems, etc) and making gaming dice out of them. They offer me $2437.00 for it all. I know that I want to accept this price, but I don't want to seem too eager, so I think about it for a while and at length say, "Yeah, that'll do it." So the man begins to pull out a checkbook but a girl (a friend ...
