One More Time,

I had a very involved dream this morning. I say this morning cuz I had an unrelated one last night, but I don't remember what it was about.
My dream this morning was a Harry Potter / Faire / Real Life crossover.

I will begin by explaining lucid dreams to people who don't know. I am not sure if there is another more scientific definition for it,  but lucid dreams as I know them are dreams in which you know you are dreaming and can therefore manipulate the dream to go your way. Eric was the one who taught me how to do this. He'd always tell me about all his flying and DBZ themed lucid dreams, and well.. I want to shoot Kamehameha blasts from my hands too. And who wouldn't?!
At first I was opposed to lucid dreaming. I like my random, completely subconcious based thrill rides. If I have never told you about my dreams before, you haven't experienced insanity at its most creative. hehe^_^
Anywho, one night I had a dream and about half way through I was getting bored with it and suddenly realized, "Hey wait! I'm dreaming. I can manipulate this!" So I did. I need more practice. I wasn't able to do much. I was afraid if I tried too hard it'd wake me up.
*Unrelated note to where this is going*- There is this thing Eric does in his lucid dreams. He "closes his eyes" in the dream and asks 3 question, with the first usually being what does his dream mean, like the symbols behind it. Then a voice from somewhere inside him answers. I didn't think he was crazy. I'm totally into that kind of thing. I found it fascinating. It's like a way to connect to your true inner self with nothing in the way. So in my first lucid dream when I couldn't fly anymore, I stopped and remembered what Eric had said. So I "closed my eyes" and asked the only thing I could think of at that moment which was... and don't ask me why.... "Can we do magic?" I was curious alright!!! Now, for the scary part. The voice that answered me wasn't mine. It was an almost mechanical like voice, I can't decribe it. It was almost not like words either. But it was a man/machine's voice and it simply said "Yes." Well, it scared the bejesus out of me so I opened my eyes, but I was still dreaming. So I closed my eyes again and asked, "Really?" To which the voice said, "Yes." .... Ready for the shit your pants scary part? I asked one last question that the voice answered to. "How can we accomplish this?" To which the voice answered simply, "Devil."
Now, this scared me. When I told Eric he said it was fascinating. He had never asked a question regarding such religious type things and then my inner voice told me there was such a thing. This was all very strange since I have no beliefs to my knowledge that magic is an evil thing, but something inside me told me it was. I dunno... It was just weird having a voice within you contradict your beliefs. Because of this, the next time I have a lucid dream, I will ask the voice what it is.
As a side note, the voice only answers 3 questions. When I asked more, the voice slowly morphed into my voice. Then later in the dream I encountered a boy that looked like me, and I think was me. It was weird.
*end unrelated note*

Anyway, my dream this morning.
I was in a huge mansion/ castle. Similar to Hogwarts. I remember looking for something/guarding something. It started out a beautiful spring time day, but as the dream progressed it turned to night and the ground became nothing but mud.
There was a rival group of people coming for what I was guarding/to wipe out our culture.
I was on the side of good. The others were evil.
Now here's the fun(ny) part.
Before battle we were all gathered in the main hall. We were trying to evacuated some of the younger students through secret passages (which I guess also makes it an XMen crossover). I used my lucid dreaming abilities to use the time for goofing around before things got serious. I talked to some people in my dreams. I saw this guy that I liked and thought him into kissing me. lol. And just practiced some magic, to make sure I could do it when I needed it.
Now the battle starts. The castle is bombarded with catapulted fiery rocks. I'm running through halls gathering up stragglers and protecting them from the blasts. We're making a final stand in the front of the castle, while whatever we're guarding is smuggled out the back. I run and run trying to find an opening we can guard. Red and blue blasts of energy are being shot all around me. I finally reach the end of the castle walls. It's on the ground and we're preparing for hand to hand combat. I had picked up this pretty sweet weapon and had been slicing and dicing people as I went. I rounded up my troops and had them keep their backs to the wall. They were not to advance until someone on the other side did. In which case, only one person could advance to match them. Pretty brilliant battle plan I thought. The enemy approaches and at the front line are some orc looking creatures (LOTR crossover). When one advances, I use my shiny awesome weapon which looked something like this..and this to slash their faces and pierce their skulls. The thing about it was that all my "soldiers" where just kids, but they did very well. However, then the second wave of enemies come forward... These are where all the faire people come in. They are all people I know and love and would never ever hurt. Suddenly my fancy pants weapon turns into my phone. It's a Katana so it is still technically a weapon (get it? Bah Dum Ch). I don't want to hurt anyone and the only reason they are on tha side is because they were captured and the bad guy now owns there soul. So I fight one using magic, which doesn't really hurt anybody, and I fight another using my Katana and fists. I actually kicked ass, but since I didn't want to hurt anybody, I didn't. But I was starting to get pissed off cuz no one was taking me seriously (symbolism much?). No matter how much ass I was kicking, it wasn't enough. They just started to ignore me.
Then the fighting all of a sudden stops and we begin negotiations, which I'm not a part of but I'm listening too. And one of my dear dear friends is giving this uplifting meaningful speech, and he mentions me and someone else calling him and letting him vent and now we don't do it anymore, and I felt bad.
Then I woke up cuz the dog was barking.

It's all left me in a very sour mood. I get very introverted after dreams like that. I tried to get ahold of my friend, but he's busy. And I know when I explain this all to him he'll be like, "I don't really care if you call or not. I'm busy anyway." And then I'll feel sad.

Anyway.. That's my thing for the day.

I've actually paused work on Haggie herself and have been taking the time to actually go through all of the packet for Faire. Kinda get a refresher on the basics and the stuff I never read to begin with. So many typos!! I think when I'm done I'm going to go through and correct all the typos (cuz I'm OCD like that) then email it to D and be like "Here ya go.. No more typos!! EVVEERRRR!!!" (<Mommy Dearest reference).

Well I'm outties. So much to do and... less time to do it in.

Washing machine's still broken though. Lacey touched it and it died. I shit you not.
