This dream started off kinda weird. Like the first half of it was a  totally different dream than the last. I remember I had to walk to  wallmart to pick up some groceries, but when I got there the store only  had three bags left. Bags as in the shitty plastic bags you get when  checking out. Because there were three left and three customers the  clerk gave each of us a single bag and told us we could buy whatever fit  inside. For some reason I needed bananas and pudding, so I finangled a  bunch of bananas in the bag and shoved pudding inside and bing bang boom  I got my stuff and started the looooong walk home

For whatever reason I was going to my mom's house, and the wallmart by  her place is like an hour walk and half of it is directly uphill. During  this long looong walk it began to rain and all the dirt I was walking  on turned to mud, which immedeatly made things that much more difficult.  It took FOREVER to walk all the way back up there, but on the bright  side on my way there I encountered my old friend Jessi. We both talked  while walking up the hill to mom's house and eventually after what felt  like hours we made it inside.

So I guess during the span of this dream it was my birthday? Mom was  talking about how worried she was because I was taking so long and that  we were going to be late. We were headded to a resturant because they  apparently offered free food if you could prove it was your birthday. I  can't remember what place we went to so I'm just going to say Dairy  Queen because it makes the most sense. At Dairy Queen while we were  waiting in line I noticed that you had to fill out an online form before  getting your birthday freebie so I intentionally slowed down the line  to fill out the form beforehand. It also wasn't a "freebie". Instead the  deal was that if it was your birthday you could get anything on the  menu you wanted for $3. Entire order $3. So we each ordered a milkshake  and then my mom ordered 3 dozen donuts. I remember the clerk commenting  on if any of these were for the "birthday boy" (not a boy?) and I butted  in saying no, they were most likely for her students because she does  that for parties and stuff.

This is where the dream starts shifting from part one to part two. We  get all our food and while I'm eating my milkshake the cashire comes  over to me asking if I want to take a quiz. Apparently the DQ was giving  out Miraculous Ladybug themed toys and the quiz was to see what  character you were. Both me and Jessi took the quiz. She got Adrian and I  got Chat Noir and we both laughed because they were the same person.  Everything past that point before part 2 of the dream got fuzzy, but I  remember walking home alone in the dark in the rain all giddy. Then?? I  don't know

start of part two I'm suddenly back home and I am Chat Noir. I am not me  anymore, but I still act like me and have my memories. I was at the  Agrest mansion like I would be as that character just sorta bumming  around when suddenly hawkmoth appears. IDK why I was chat noir and not  adrian but I guess me as Chat just being inside the house was enough to  tip off hawkmoth that I was him. Like?? Why would a superhero and a  supervillain both coincidentally be lounging around the same house like  they owned the place if they weren't both living there?

Hawkmoth began to chase me so I leaped out the window and we had a wild  chase throughout the streets of paris. It was bright and sunny and nice  outside now. A really nice day to be running for my life, ya know?  Eventually I'm kinda cornered in this canal type area that leads into a  concrete square pool that's like 12 feet deep. While inside Hawkmoth  uses the super fancy ultra magic BS and turns into the ice version of  himself. He then gets me under the water and freezes the surface so  there's no way I can escape.

Now suddenly I'm ladybug who's been trying desperetly to catch up to  these two the entire time. By the time I get there it's been minutes  since Chat was trapped under the water. since I, as ladybug, had access  to all the Kwami power ups I turned myself into aquabug and dove into  the water; breaking the surface of the ice as I did.  But I didn't just  rescue Chat Noir, oh no. Instead, while still under the water, I gave  him his own aqua power up so he could breathe and then instructed him to  stay down there.

So returning to the surface I told Hawkmoth that his son was dead  (Because I guess Ladybug suddenly knows who Chat is now). I then YELLED  at him asking what the hell he thought was going to happen if he trapped  someone underwater and what the hell his plan was. I guess his plan was  to simply wait until Chat passed out before taking him to the surface  to get his miraculous. But I "butted in" too soon and?? Yeah no I have  no clue what the fuck was going on in his mind.

Knowing he'd just killed his son Hawkmoth suddenly got like... Super  depressed. Which makes sense. He only wanted the miraculous to revive  his dead wife. Now his son is also dead, what the hell is he gonna do  now? He super depresso ran away and knowing this was my one chance to  get the moth miraculous back I followed him rather than explaining my  plan to Chat Noir.

I followed Hawkmoth back to his mansion which in the span of my dream  had way more floors and rooms than it actually does. He was up in the  book room/library/study thing? It was like an MC Esher painting with how  wild the layout was. Like, bookshelves extending onwards to infinity,  twisting and turning to create these elaborate noodle-like archways that  spanned all over us. And then there were inexplicable floating  platforms with stairs leading up to them that had no supports or railnig  or anything. It was trippy, but I managed to find him after walking up  one of the staircases. He was on this plaftorm that had a mini library  on it with a nice couch and fireplace and everything.

Once again I asked him what the hell he was thinking, and he could only  say he didn't even know anymore. He was so blinded by his original goal  that he wasn't going to let anything stop him from getting what he  wanted, even at the cost of his son's life. I told him he had royally  fucked up and that now the only way to fix things was to return his  miraculous and give his plan up. We got SUPER deep with eachother while  talking and I honestly wish I could remember the conversation word per  word but I can't.

As a quick aside, I'd like to mention that any time any of the  Miraculous characters (aside from myself) swore I'd pull out my phone  and text my friend Sora about this "Crazy new episode" I was watching  where hawkmoth said fuck or shit or hell or whatever. It was a very  weird fourth wall break. But I digress

At this point Chat, who was very much alive, has caught up with me. He  heard the coversation we werre having and caught on to the fact he had  to be "dead", but he caught on a biiiiit too late. While trying to sneak  further up the stairs past hawkmoth he saw Chat's tail and immedeatly  took back everything he'd just said to me. He was now FURIOUS that I'd  do something like this to him just to get his miraculous, saying I was  just as bad as him. Luckily for me, this is when things clicked for Chat  and he managed to slink away before being seen by Hawkmoth.

Now for those of you who haven't seen the show here's a brief lore  tidbit to make the next bit make sense. The costume granted to a  Miraculous holder kinda just turns into whatever their heart desires,  hence no two people looking the same even with the same power. In one  episode Adrian gives up being Chat Noir because blah blah love blah  blah. But rather than giving his Miraculous to someone else, he wills  himself into having a different costume/identity and turns into someone  he dubbs Cat Walker. Chat Noir, Adrian, and Cat Walker are all the same  person, just with a different look/identity. Got it? Cool, dream  continues now.

So right before getting caught Noir turns himself into Cat Walker and  kinda plays it off as him being a new Miraculous holder because,  obviously, the previous one died. Hawkmoth goes through the seven stages  of grief in a split second as he realises that his son is not alive and  that this is someone different (as far as he knows). Seeing that I was  telling the truth and broken by everything that happened he decides to  join forces with me. Not to give up his miraculous, but to use his  powers for good from now on under my instruction. Cool, whatever,  Ladybug ain't down for that. I let him join me, but my plan is still to  take his miraculous away as soon as I can

The dream once again starts getting fuzzy here. I remember in a weird  attempt to get his miraculous back I took Hawkmoth to this... Retirement  home type place? There we encountered the current holder of the peacock  miraculous which, by the way, is not a real character in the show. She  was some super old woman wearing one of those fluffy fur jackets and a  huuuuuge feather boa. I brought him there because both the peacock and  moth miraculous had been used for evil for so long he had to be taught  how to use it for good. Of course, peacock lady was filled in to  everything going on and was down to help me steal it.

This lady cooked up some wild story about a villain off on the other  side of the globe who had much more sinister plans than he ever had.  This person was looking to totally end the world. As such, he had to  akumatize Cat Walker with some special ability in order to put an end to  this dude. It was a mix of traveling a vast distance and being able to  breathe underwater, among other things. In reality there was no baddie  anywhere else. We were simply trying to dupe him into making Cat so  powerful he could steal the miraculous back.

Cat Walker gets transformed and now I'm suddenly him again. Or the dream  swaps to his perspective or something, I have no idea. I, as Cat  Walker, was also fooled by this false plan and just... Yeeted myself  halfway across the globe looking for this fake bad guy. But GASP! There  actually WAS another villlain! IDK what his name was, but it was this  weird starry looking dude with the symbol of the sun and moon on him.  His outfit was like half blue half orange to look like a solar eclipse  or something. He was trying to steal the power of the stars by bringing  the stars TO him, and in the sky I could see like 8 different suns  because he was literally ripping the stars out of the sky and causing  them to rapidly crash down towards earth. I knew this would be the end  of the world so I tried to get back to Ladybug as fast as possible and  shortly after

well my cat turned off my PC halfway through writing this so I lost the first attempt but here we go

So in my dream last night I was Meridian. For whatever reason I was trying to catch every single pokemon. Why I was doing this I have no idea, but it isn't out of character for him. Rather than the pokemon being stored inside a PC they were stored in this random field outside some house. This is important because I did not own this house. Either way the house itself was massive. Like, gothic mansion massive. Style too. This thing looked like trouble from the very start but I did not care or pay any attention to that fact.

So I have all the pokemon out lined up trying to figure out what ones I'm missing and what ones I have. I didn't have a pokedex on me so this entire endeavor was entirely written out on a checklist on paper. Every pokemon I had was all lined up in a row in no real particular order. Also important to mention that I only, or mostly, had fully evolved pokemon. Which as Meridian also makes sense. Like yeah a living dex is cool and all, but for purely scientific research and not a video game incentive why have all these baby and juvenile pokemon running around?

So I'm inside the house noting down everything when suddenly there's this crash. All the pokemon start panicking and I run over to see what happened. One of the rooms in the house had been blasted open and was on fire and it was quickly catching the rest of the house on fire. The blast split the room in two, with one half being unable to escape without getting burnt. I scooped these pokemon up and carried them all to safety as I evacuated everyone outside the house. Among these pokemon was a little baby piplup which I kinda just carried around for the rest of the dream. It was very scared and didn't want to leave my side.

Eventually everyone is outside and that's when I saw it. Standing on the top of the roof was a very familiar looking Wyvern. Saros. Saros, being one of Meridian's many enemies, was furious that I was here. Apparently this house belonged to him and "This is my property, so everything here belongs to me. And because its mine I can do whatever I want with it". Not only was he claiming ownership over all the pokemon, but also myself. Cue the HOURS long battle between me and Saros

I don't usually fight in my dreams. Usually when a "fight" starts it's just me running frantically while the other person chases me. No punches thrown, no injuries had. This fight was an actual goddamn fight. That wyvern clawed into my chest and back with his claws. I was punched and tail whipped and thrown to the ground from great heights. It hurt. Very badly. And I could tell there was no way in hell I was getting out of this alive so I did the only thing I could think to do and ran before he managed to murder me. The second I left the property line Saros had no interest in me, so I fled as far as I could to recuperate and try again.

So I don't really know what happened next. I think a time jump took place because suddenly everything was different and I was an entirely different person, but it was still in the span of this dream. I was a pokemon now. What one exactly I don't really know. I know I was a four legged smaller one. Maybe umbreon? Which would make sense because Saros was inspired by an umbreon lunala hybrid I made years ago. Yeah let's just say Umbreon. So I'm now an Umbreon and I'm in this little cave with a few other scattered escapees from the attack. The piplup was there with me too which was fun. We were all trying to figure out what to do, but in true pokemon fashion none of us actually spoke at all. We all just said our names like in the anime and somehow we all understood what we were trying to say, which was super trippy looking back.

Hope seemed lost, as all the pokemon that didn't escape the house were now enslaved by Saros and Meridian was nowhere to be seen. Meridian was gone so our little group's plan was to find Matrix. For those of you who don't know my characters (most of you I assume) Matrix is what Meridian turns into after he dies, but because he's a time wraith the set timeline has no meaning on him and blah blah blah Matrix and Meridian co-exist with Matrix being this vow of silence helpful ghost that prevents Meridian from getting himself killed. In the span of the dream I didn't know they were the same person. I just assumed that Matrix would be able to help if we could free him because he helped Meridian all the time

Matrix was being held captive by Saros inside the mansion. We decided to send me inside (me as the umbreon now) in an attempt to find and free him. But I had to be undercover because if I wasn't I'd just be killed or enslaved. So I sneak inside the property. The outdoors had basically been totally deforested and all the water was pure mud. There was mud everywhere because it was raining and at one point I slipped and fell inside and became totally covered head to toe in mud. All the pokemon outside were elated to see me, but all of them kept quiet because they knew I hadn't been captured by Saros yet. They ushered me inside via a workers door and soon enough I saw the true horrors of this place.

The entire inside of the place was a wreck. Scars from the past battle were still there, now worn with weather and time. The roof leaked and all the pokemon inside were dressed like butlers and maids. I was tracking mud everywhere and at one point I was found by a worker and taken to the bath area of the house. This bath was the only place in the entire house that was in pristine condition. It'd also been turned into a pokemon breeding/daycare type area. After I was washed up they paired me with a Spinda who was like.. Oddly into it. We were in this big dressing room type area and she was asking what I wanted to do and what she should wear and blah blah blah and I just got super depressed because it dawned on me that I probably couldn't save Meridian or Matrix even if I wanted to because I was a single umbreon against the entire pokedex AND a literal drake. I suddenly got super depressed and just did not care at all.

The spinda was like trying to get dressed up cute and trying to get me to play along and I was just depressingly sipping on whatever drink we had been given. It was a shared bowl with two straws and it looked like it had cereal in it but I wasn't drinking milk? IDK what it was but I was sipping it while laying on my stomach like a dog who'd given up on life.

After seeing we weren't, uh, breeding, Saros had me put in a collar and taken away to work somewhere else in the house. I was taken to the top floor where there was an open roof and this big cauldron type thing. I was going to give up on life right then and there when I noticed a small cage dangling from the ceiling. The cage was only large enough to hold a single skill, but knowing Matrix he WAS a single skull with his body being made of smoke

I had found Matrix. Only issue was, I had to free him. breaking out of my sadness I barked some "bre, bre, umbreon!!" style insults at Saros before initiating battle. But... I was unable to see the outcome. Right as the battle started my alarm went off. So uh. The story has no real ending. But now it's canon that, if Meridian had access to pokemon (he doesn't) he'd have a shiny Umbreon and a piplup on his team lmao

SIT DOWN AND BUCKLE UP BECAUSE THIS ONES A TRIP! also I haven't posted a  dream in awhile. I've had several, but the more personal ones I keep to  myself. Y'all don't need to know the deep dark corners of my mind  ahahaha.

Anyway. This dream starts off as my newest D&D party off going  somewhere in a city. I'm Taz, Data is there, and so is Soot. Although  for some reason Soot acts like brian from family guy the entire dream.  It's raining really hard and looking outside we can see a tornado  starting to form. We're in the heart of the city near what looks like  the butterfly biosphere near my house. We're also right next to a  supermarket. The party is walking fast trying to get to one of the  buildings before the weather gets to us when suddenly we're stopped in  our tracks as the tornado pulls out in front of us. Luckily it doesn't  get anyone in the party, just some poor teenager walking out of the  store. He gets yeeted 21308420 feet into the air and crashes down hard  into the roof of the market. He's groaning in agony and soot asks if  he's ok when the kids dad chimes in and is all "You should be asking if  I'm ok, I just watched my son get launched 4000 feet in the air by a  tornado!!". The kid just groaned at this and said he'd be fine, but we  needed to get inside.

So the party and this kid all get brought into the biosphere type place.  Inside is mostly barred aside from the very centre where there's this  nice old timey cabin type room. Also all the outer walls of this  building were made of chain link and concrete and it didn't have doors.  It had fence gates we had to chain closed. When we got inside the kid  had us chain and lock all the gates even though other people were  desperately trying to get in. We kinda just shooed them off and told  them the place was closed. Oddly enough they all acted like NPCs with a  pathing interruption because when they couldn't get inside they just  continued walking down the path outside even if the tornado sucked them  up. Eventually we did get everything chained up and at that point we all  went towards the cabiny room. It looked like my uncles living room for  the most part. Two big old couches, two more fluffy recliners, a TV,  fireplace, candy machines, toys everywhere for grandkids. We figured  we'd be safe here. We were very wrong.

Taz for those of you who don't know is neutral evil. She's also a rogue  multiclass. So the second I get inside this room and we're all locked up  I begin poking around at all the belongings to see if there's anything  valuable I can take. Suddenly, as I'm doing this, I become very VERY  short. Like... 1 foot tall short. I think it was after I picked up a  book but I don't remember 100%. That's when I heard a laugh. it was a  weird echoy laugh that sounded far away so I wanted to see if everyone  else heard it. I wandered over to Data and asked him and he just looked  at me confused. So I walked over to soot and the kid and soot was also  confused, but the kid was just like "Woah, who left their baby in  here?". As it turned out, I'd been turned into a baby. I was still  wearing my normal clothes (just shrunken) and I still had my normal  mind, but whenever I talked only I could understand. I kept asking the  party what was going on and if they could understand me and they just  kept looking at me confused like I was speaking baby babbles. Naturally  this pissed me off, but luckily because the only people around knew me  personally they didn't treat me like a baby.

I'm now a baby trapped in a house unable to communicate with my friends.  What to do now? Continue rummaging around for valuables, of course! Or  just anything to keep me entertained. I looted around this bookshelf for  some time when I eventually found something terrifying. So like, you  know how in video games with achievements it'll sometimes say what the  achievement's name is as a hint towards what to do? This book was full  to the brim with things like that. The worst part? The book implied we  were trapped in this building.

the first several achievements were pretty mundane. Hell, we'd already  unlocked a few of them. One was to get into the building, one was to  "help our guide", one was to explore every room. But then I saw one  currently in progress that said "spend the whole day as a baby". So  whatever turned me into one was clearly intentional. It was the guide  part that weirded me out. Was the kid with the broken arm part of all  this? was this a trap?

I didn't care too much. Not after seeing something written at the bottom  of the page. There was a quest at the bottom. A very odd one. the long  and short of it was if I flipped through the rest of the pages of this  book and found 3 mice, 2 geese, and 4 rabbits, copied the pages, sized  them up, and brought them to a porta potty 75 feet up from ground level  I'd be rewarded with the love of my life. It was worded differently than  that which made it sound a lot less storybook fairytale but I can't for  the life of me remember it word for word. I was intrigued by this. Like  yeah having the love of your life is cool and all, but what are the  logistics of that? If I complete this quest does some woman just spawn  in front of me out of the ether? is some woman from anywhere on the  globe ripped from her home and teleported over to me?? Do I pick who it  is and they just somehow become my perfect match? Like, it didn't make  sense to me. I decided I was going to do it because it was a simple task  and I couldn't really do much else as a baby.

So I start going through the book and it's this nice little picture book  of woodland animals all gathering for a picnic. As I found each animal I  bookmarked it with a scrap piece of paper with a label on it.  Eventually I flipped through the whole book and found each animal as  requested. The mice were the hardest btw. There were 4 geese on one page  and the rabbits came in pairs of 2 ever page they showed up on, but the  mice were small and hidden in the background and there was only one at a  time. Once I found and bookmarked every instance I flipped back to the  goal page and brought the book over to data. I figured he'd be able to  help me scan the book and scale up to bring to this place. He... Did not  help. When data grabbed the book he grabbed it so loosly that all the  bookmarks fell out. I tried yelling at him to be careful but I was still  a baby so I couldn't talk. After all the bookmarks had fallen out I  grabbed the book away from him and angrily pointed to the goal on the  one page. He still didn't get it so I just took it away from him and  tried to find all the animals again. I did, and the same thing happened  when I showed the book to soot. In a fit of rage I tore out the pages  with the animals, grabbed Soot, and began marching my way up to this  porta potty that was apparently 75 feet above ground level.

It was still raining outside. At this point it was basically a Sewie and  brian episode of family guy as this baby and a fluffy avali kobold  marched through town looking for any elevated place this porta potty  might be. I managed to find it on top of this hill that was almost a 90  degree incline. The rain made it all muddy and hard to climb but I got  it eventually. At the top there was a porta potty, and when I held the  pages out the stall door opened and the fucking kid who had a broken arm  comes out of it. He scans it over and says I got everything. But  there's a part 2 to this. Now that I got the pages I must bring him a  few other things. What they all were exactly I don't remember. I only  really remember 2 of them. One was a fried egg, and the other was the  last thing I had to bring him. A picture of his favourite cartoon  character. But that one I didn't know immedeatly. At first I only had to  get him three items including the fried egg.

so I set off. After getting back to the biosphere I noticed that the  interior layout had changed. Rather than being empty aside from the  cabin room it was now a big two story college campus type place with the  cabin room in the centre. But rather than classrooms there were  different landscapes that seemingly expanded indefinitely. The first one  I went into was a very old neighborhood. There were these strange  almost 3d printed walls everywhere made out of clay. Some were hardened  while others were soft wet clay. As I walked down the streets suddenly  my mom showed up and began walking beside me. Not my IRL mom, Taz's mom.  For reference Taz's mom died while she was a teenager so this was a  surprise to say the least. I ran over to talk to her but she couldn't  undertsand me. She did know who I was, though, and the whole scenatio  for a bit played out like a mother taking their young child to the park.  That is, until we ran into a weird street race type thing?

There were these five teenage boys at the end of the street near this  big tree with massive roots. They were all spinning beyblades off the  root of the tree and seeing how far each one got down the street before  toppling over. My mom tried to usher me away from these "thuggish  teenagers" but I wanted to see what they were up to. That's when the  police showed up. Except the police had these weird vaccume things like  luigi's mansion. When they got to the kids all of them scattered, but  one got caught. He got sucked into the vacuum and then spewed out as  clay to build a new wall. That freaked me out because the second the  cops saw us they started coming after us, stating we couldn't be out  past curfew (note: it was midday at the time). I ran but my mom did not,  and I had to watch as she once again died. She got sucked up and also  turned into clay. That made me scale one of the hardened walls and run  across the tops. The cops were chasing me but because I was so high up  they couldn't suck me up. I can only assume I got what I was sent there  to get because I returned to the porta potty the kid accepted it

on the way to the porta potty things had changed. For one thing, it  looked less like a porta potty and more like a chrome elevator with a  blue glow. The area around it was also a lot more mountainus. On the way  I noticed a ton of my little pony action figures scattreed about as if  the mountains were a kids playground and I guess one of those was also a  thing I needed to collect because I picked one up and the kid said all  that was left was the fried egg.

Returning back to the biosphere I went into a massive kitchen area.  Imagine the backrooms but the entire place is a professional kitchen. I  just wandered around the area until I found a fridge. Data was also here  and this is when I made a comment about hating being so small only to  find out the baby effect had worn off and I was normal now. He could  understand me and was surprised that I was the baby he'd seen wandering  around. Whatever. Data told me I couldn't be caught in the kitchen  because if I was I'd get in trouble. My rogue instincts kicked in and I  began sneaking around the kitchen as I took out eggs from the fridge and  began trying to cook them

It was at this point I realized I had no idea what a fried egg was.  Don't get me wrong, I know my eggs. I fucking love eggs. It's one of the  main things I eat on a daily basis. But in my experience the term is  ambigious. Some people say a fried egg is just any egg not scrambled.  Some say it's a sunny side up egg you flip over to cook on both sides.  Some say sunny side up and fried egg are the same. I tried doing the one  you cook sunny side up and flip but I'm god awful at flipping eggs and  got so fucking upset that I eventually resorted to just cooking boxed  eggs (pre cracked, in those milk container things) because fuck it, eggs  are eggs. Dude just wanted plain eggs with salt and yolk. Who cares how  it's prepared?!

Clearly the kid didn't, because I brought him what was essentially a  poorly mixed plain omlette and he accepted it no problem. So I'm like  cool, I get my prize now, right? Nope. I was still missing two items.  One of which I can't remember but I think it was a drawing of some sort  because I remember pulling out my tablet and drawing on it only to get  mad some creature turned it off and corrupted my save. After that I did a  doodle on some paper and that was accepted. But the last was a picture  of this cartoon character. I don't remember its name but I do know that  all I was given was the name and I had to figure out what it was on my  own.

I'd also like to mention that at this point the difficulty of the  situation ramped up significantly. All these strange elemental monsters  began appearing around me running out of dark corners and messing with  whatever I was doing. The entire building also became a massive non  liminal labyrinth that was almost impossible to navigate. Like at one  point I find a computer and try searching up this character. I found a  cartoon about a shiny mew synth robot thing by the same name but when I  took a picture of that to the guy it was wrong. Then I found this purple  haired anime girl with leopard print clothes but that was also wrong.  As I searched on the computers they kept acting all weird. Like the  screen would block the website or I'd have to type in password  verification. All these elementals kept following me around too which  made things difficult because if they caught me I'd be captured and  lose. Eventually one got me, but I managed to escape by the skin of my  teeth. It dragged me into the clay area presumably to be taken to one of  the police to suck me up and turn me into clay.

Deeper into the clay area than I'd ever been before and surrounded by  elementals and police I just ran. I ran in a random direction trying to  get away. The landscape warped and changed around me as I ran. Day  became night and this nice rural neighborhood full of clay walls morphed  into a labyrinth of suburban houses that all looked the exact same. It  was dark, I was alone, I was confused, and everything was out to get me.  I was so overwhelmed that I just screamed. Screamed into the void of  suburbia as loud and as long as I could. Eventually my lungs started  burning and I had to stop, but after catching my breath I did it one  more time until I passed out. Keep in mind in the realm of this dream  this had been going on for what felt like weeks and I was getting fed up  being trapped in this confusing eldritch maze running a fools errand  that could seemingly never be completed.

When I woke up it was early sunrise. It was still dark but I could see  the orange glow of the sun peeking over the horizon. I was also,  somehow, back in the rolling hills near the porta potty. Now knowing  where I was I returned to the biosphere only to find everything had  changed. Now it was just straight up a college campus. Students were  walking to class and stopping by the interior food court (which had a  starbucks in it for some reason). Kids were walking to class and I was  starting to lose it. I didn't know where my friends were anymore. I  hardly knew where I was anymore. Everything kept changing and this dumb  kid in a porta potty had turned into some weird eldritch horror BBEG  type dude. He was like GlaDos if GlaDos was a D&D villain and not a  robot. Anyway, I was so fed up with this all that I began to attack the  kids in campus trying to get answers to what this fucking cartoon  character was. It seemed each knew like one fact about it, then directed  me to someone else who knew more. So it turned into a manhunt as I ran  around campus looking for information on this weird fucking character  that probbaly didn't exist

Eventually, after attacking like 7 people and taking one vaguely hostage  to ensure I wasn't being messed with, I got to the last link in the  chain. This woman who looked like someone I knew in middleschool but  older had a book bag with the characters picture on it. A picture of the  character! Just like I was told to get!!! I ran up to her and tried to  take it, but she was freaking out saying she needed these books for  class. I halphazardly explained that I needed the picture for a quest  when she said "just get one from the school store. I think they have a  plushie as well". I demanded she take me to the school store because I'd  be damned if I got lost in this place again. I also didn't want to lose  her or her bag because if she disappeared I knew I'd never find this  character again. Eventually we get to the school store and there's this  giant squishmellow type plushie for sale. The character in question, for  reference, was a purplish blue leopard that looked vaguely like mew  from pokemon. I decided that a plush was WAY better than a picture and  by this point the dude had accepted close enough approximations to what  he wanted anyway so fuck it. I took the plushie and began making my way  back

Once I had this plush I knew it was the final strech. The entire school  went dark and all the elementals began tormenting me. Flashing lights,  grabbing at the plush, trying to get me lost forever. I made my way  through the dark school, back through endless subirbia, over the hills,  through the kitchen, and on and on and on past every obstical until  eventually I had reached the original biosphere. The rain had cleared  up, though it was still gloomy. The room was empty aside from the single  cabin room in the centre. My party was there waiting for me. And, of  course, so was the kid with the broken arm. Soot was still tending to  him. I walked in there and gave him the plush at which point he began  crying. IDK what exactly he said but he started going off on this rant  about how no one had ever cared about him enough in life to help him and  how his dad sucked and made everything about himself and blah blah  blah. Anyway, at the end he granted me this wand saying that woever I  waved it at would become instantly compatable with me. But then his kind  face twisted into an evil sneer. He then said "now, here's your true  love" and released this absolute abomination of a creature. it was like a  manta ray but humanoid and it looked like yveltal from pokemon almost.  It began wreaking havok on the area going absolutly insane, but that  wasn't all

apparently this creature was like??? Important to the kingdom or  something? because the second it got out all the surrounding guards came  running at me saying I'd "kidnapped her" and how they needed to get her  back. I ran, the creature flew off into the sky and began wreaking  havok on the city, and that's when the party and I ended up in the mage  tower with Circe. Circe began talking about how the creature that'd been  released was some massive trapped elemental that the kingdom had  enslaved for eons. It was terrified and just wanted tobe free. For a  moment I considered using my wand on Circe because I do really like her,  but then I remembered that I was only with Circe while playing Cali and  right now I was playing Taz. That's when it clicked. Taz in our D&D  campaign has been writing to some extraplanar being the entire time.  Someone she called "Smiley". Taz is a Sha'ir rogue multiclass and part  of being a Sha'ir is that you're granted spells from something in the  elemental planes. Like a warlock but with elementals. This had to be  smiley, and I felt horrible. Smiley had granted me my familiar. She was  the person I'd been writing to for years. She was terrified.

I figured if I used the wand on her I could get her to calm down enough  around me for me to be able to help her. She'd made it to the centre of  the biosphere which had been cleared out by the tornato she'd made. All  that was left was the party

and some weird VRchat type portals leading to somewhere else. I climbed  up to the second floor, hopped on her back from above, and used the wand  on her. She was still in a total panic but I was able to coax her  through one of the portals. After grabbing the rest of the party and  getting them to go through first, of course. The dream ended with me and  Smiley diving head first into this portal while all the local guards

So I had this dream that meridian was teaching a class at a local school. He had and picked a ton of students based off of... Some sort of criteria and the goal was he'd slowly weed us out one by one until there was only one left. The last remaining person would be his new apprentice.

There were several of us from varying parts of the world. I very distinctly remember Sora being there as well as this dude named Niel who looked suspiciously like Nergil.

Anyway, the class was simple enough. Normal high school level stuff, at the start. But our tasks slowly got stranger and stranger, and as time went on this bizzare point system was added in. I can't remember exactly how it worked but I remember if your score hit a certain number you divided it by four and then multiplied your original number by the sum. It was strange.

The task I remember doing was a test of strength. Meridian had a sword out for some reason and said he'd duel us one by one. But I knew something was off about it. His sword had a purple sheen to it as if it'd been enchanted.

So like, this kid Niel says he'll go first. Then it clicks. Meridian would never fight one on one in the set timeline. Something tricky was about to happen. Right as it clicked I screamed NO and ran over to Niel. I grabbed a sword off the shelf, knocked him over, and then struck Meridians sword out of his hands.

Meridian just smiled at this. He told me "good luck" and then class was dismissed. Suddenly three werewolves in wolf form appeared. They had the personality of the hyena from the first lion king movie. Anyway, their goal was to kill me. They ran at me, I ran away with my sword still in hand. My goal was to separate them and attack one by one.

As I ran Sora followed, saying I was an idiot for doing this and blah blah blah I should have let Neil face off because he volunteered. I said that by doing this I also volunteered and that it wasn't a big deal. I remember ducking and dodging attacks from the werewolves as this happened.

The end of the school day arrived and my mom came to pick me up in her car. As I was running away from the werewolves I managed to kill one of them. I got in her car and she began to drive away. As she did she also expressed her worries about this whole class and said that I really wasn't cut out for something like this. That pissed me off so I downplayed the situation while uh... Boosting myself? I mentioned that the minions attacking me were mice and that I had already killed two of them.

So for some reason all us students had Meridian on discord. Or at least me and Sora did. By the next day I had killed all the werewolves but now I was constantly on alert for anything else. Meridian is just like that. As his assistant you always have to be on guard, so of course there'd be more threats than what I saw originally. But I really wasn't strong enough, so I sent him a message.

Basically, I asked what I could do to get stronger. He totally ignored my question and reminded me about the upcoming homework assignment and if I had any questions blah blah. That confused me because Meridian isn't like that usually. He'd never just overlook something like that. So I asked him again. I got a two word response to that. "Japanese comics".

This confused me, but Sora was also in the room with me. Right as I got that text he also got one, which for some reason he read out loud. it was something to the effect of "this is another test. I'm testing the Icarus effect. Don't let her know". Which, by the way, that is NOT the name of that. The "effect" he was trying to test is ignoring and dismissing someone to see if they'll still continue on. Like, leave them in the dark and see if they'll give up or fight for more information. Idk if this has a name or not but it's sure as hell not the "Icarus effect". I think my brain was just trying to come up with something clever in my sleep.

Hearing this I laughed to myself before replying to his message. I told Meridian "oh come on, you of all people should know it's called Manga". I then turned to Sora and smiled and said basically "well, if he wants me to read manga to get stronger I'm reading beastars again. What better way to get stronger than by reading a book about animals fighting to the death?". I only said this to throw him off. Pretending I didn't hear him reading the message out loud. Sora agreed and then the time for class began, so we both started going inside. Then I woke up

This dream started  out as me, Sora, Mark, and Lucas all chatting in voice chat. Mark was  trying to arrange a meetup with sora and at one point a furry con was  mentioned that was somehow close to all four of us. Naturally, we all  decided we might as well go because why the hell not? So I dawned my  Sonie head (which I don't even have yet lmao) and headed off to the  airport with my mom to fly off to this con.

Actually getting there was simple, and once I was there meeting up was  even more so. We were in a big stadium like place with several booths  set up for shops and whatnot, but it was also like a mini mall because  there were built in stores in the side of the building. I just remember  when we met up we all forced my mom to put on the Aeon fursuit head and  it was too small for her and we all laughed about it. After that we  began to wander deeper in the con to look at the merchandise. There were  a lot of protogen type LED heads available, as well as several full  suits and a bunch of food and whatnot. But something odd began to happen  while we were there.

I very distinctly remember Mark turned into his character Ralo, who's  this little tiny avali. He was suddenly super fast and I kept lagging  behind the group. At a certain point I got so far behind everyone that  we were totally separate, but a message on Discord told me that everyone  was going to go see a movie in the theatre hall. I told them I'd meet  up with them, but first I wanted some McDonalds because I hadn't eaten  all day. When I headed off there more weird things started happening.  People kept turning into their characters and everyone saw this as 100%  normal. To the point where a random anthro was seen the same as any  other race. While at McDonalds I saw this man and his son and the both  of them were rambling on and on about how they hated fish people. Of  course, there were a pair of anthro fish walking past outside. I said  that was rude and both of them stared at me like I had three heads.

Apparently I had turned into Sonie. Not only that, but I guess whatever  was going on was like... Red alert type scenario? Immediately the dad  arrested me and before I knew it I was being hauled off to some weird  lab type jail cell. Think the beginning levels in Portal almost, but it  was on the third story so there were windows. I had my hands cuffed  together and my feet were anchored into this weird platform type  machine. Whenever I tried to move the platform would teleport me to some  other platform stationed somewhere else around the cell. It was  alarming, and things got more terrifying when this dude with surgical  gear walked in and started talking about how they had to "contain my  abilities" or... something? Admittedly I can't really remember, but it  sounded like your typical evil villain monologue type deal. He had what  looked like a circuit board in his hands and said that it was going to  be implanted in my brain so I'd never be able to use my powers again???

So they jam this chip into my head and leave me to my own devices for a  bit. I know when they come back things are going to get much worse for  me so I try to find a way to escape. They kept talking about me having  powers but I had no idea what those were. But I did know that the  platform I was anchored to allowed me to teleport to another platform.  There were two right next to the window and my plan was to focus super  hard at the window and try to force the teleporter to shoot me out of  it. Somehow this worked and I went diagonally, but I was on the third  story and my feet were still anchored to the platform. I immediately  fell, the platform broke from the impact, and I began running for my  life as all these alarms began going off.

For some reason I decided to try teleporting again because I knew I  wouldn't be fast enough to get away on foot. This worked, but I could  only go to places I could physically see. So like an enderman in  Minecraft I just chain teleported further and further forward until  eventually I got to this cliffside.

It's important to note that it was winter in this dream. There was about  two feet of snow everywhere. When I got to the cliff it was thick piles  of snow being help in place by all the plant life. Since the angle  wasn't too steep I decided to start teleporting down the cliff. I fell  face first into the snow and the angle of the slope caused me to slide  down. The snow eventually cushioned my slide, and whenever it did I'd  teleport like two feet forwards to regain my momentum. I basically belly  slid down the whole mountain like a penguin until I reached a parking  lot. Behind me I could hear the police talking about how no one could  survive a fall like that and how their manhunt had turned into a body  recovery. This was perfect because if they thought I was dead I could  teleport away and no one would follow me.

So I began manically teleporting from place to place until eventually I  end up back at the con centre. Everyone in the group is there, and by  this point the only human left was my mom. Everyone else had turned into  one of their characters. My mom said we should all go out to dinner so  we were brought to this super fancy restaurant. I remember it was a  several course meal and we had some weird brown noodles, bread, pink  whipped cream with chocolate candies on top of it, and like this cheese  fondue stuff. Not all at once, but as each course. The pink whipped  cream was really good and I remember stealing it off everyone's plate  because i liked it so much. After that everyone asked where I had been  all day because someone at the con had been looking for me. I was very  confused and asked what they were talking about but no one would  explain. They all just told me where to find this person.

So after dinner I headed off to find them. In the con centre at the very  top floor there was this MASSIVE matrix of stars on this big table.  Like a whole ass map of the universe spread out. This lady in a white  lab coat was standing in front of it alongside this SUPER old man. They  both greeted me and told me to come take a look at the map.

The woman explained that all the constellations on this map were  actually a chart of places I had teleported over the years. I said that  was impossible because I only figured out I had this power today. She  just ignored that and continued her speech

She said that the government had been tracking my activity because they  believed the strange signals my teleporting emitted were dangerous. In  reality it was the opposite. The signals I emitted were actually  extremely useful, as they prevented cosmic entities from entering our  orbit? The old dude put it in simpler terms. Basically, the energy I  created by teleporting kept meteors and comits and anything else that  might hit our planet from getting close enough to do so. The chart I'd  been using on the map was I guess the ideal paths to take to make sure  we were the most protected or something?

This whole time I keep telling these people they had the wrong person  and I'd never teleported that far into space before. I'd never been to  space. They said that my abilities have been dormant for a very very  long time, and because of that my mind had as well. Me living this  normal life was my bodies way of staying alive until my powers were  reactivated. I didn't really understand their explanation, but they  didn't matter. What mattered was the fact a MASSIVE WORLD DESTROYING  METEOR WAA HEADED RIGHT TOWARDS US and the government thought my powers  were drawing it towards earth rather than keeping it away.

The people told me I had to start using the chart they had laid out  immediately, otherwise earth would be destroyed. I kept telling them  that they had the wrong person and that I couldn't teleport like that.  But they just wouldn't listen and they started to get aggressive so I  just... Teleported out of that room and started walking home. Of course  it wasn't that simple. They began to follow me, and after I was out of  the con centre I passed the McDonald's where the guy and his son were.  They told began to chase me and soon enough I was the most wanted person  in America.

So I'm teleporting all over the fucking place trying to escape everyone.  It's sheer utter chaos. The sun is begining to rise and as it is we can  all see this massive meteor getting closer and closer. I knew k had to  do something to stop it, so I started following the star path that had  been laid out on that map, but instead of teleporting in space I just  teleported around the city in the same pattern. As I did so each  landmark on the map would light up like some weird video game progress  tracker. Once every point was lit up the map itself shot off this  massive beam of white light that obliterated the convention centre. The  beam of light shot into the sky and completely destroyed the meteorite,  smashing it into a billion little pieces that showered down as millions  of shooting stars. Everyone was in awe, and I was so tired at that point  I just went to the hotel room we were staying at and went to sleep.

The dream then cut to like an epilogue type thing. We were all back at  the now repaired convention centre walking into the theatre. Everyone  was back to their human form, albeit still wearing furstits, and we all  had popcorn and sodas and all that. Inside the theatre was more like a  school basketball court, but with a screen to project a movie on. We all  sat down with our snacks and watched basically the entire dream again  on screen, but this time we were all laughing and making comments on it.  Kind of like the end of chicken little when the movie is so far from  what actually happened it's not even the same anymore. But yeah we all  laughed and ate popcorn while ripping on our own movie and it was great

                                                                 

                            

Last night I had a dream I was some rest subject in a massive research  facility. Apparently I only had one leg and it was like a disability  research center or something like that? I don't know. All I remember is  that I basically lived there 24/7 and it was like a massive mall  underground.

So the first thing I remember doing is playing five nights at Freddy's.  What one it was I don't know, but I remember the whole goal of this game  was trying to kill a weird nightmare version of Springtrap. Also for  some reason the more I played the game the more it's events would just  happen in real life. At a certain point I had to stop playing the game  because real people were getting hurt.

One weird aspect of this FNAF game was that it had this Chao garden  aspect to it. It was like a totally different game where you explored  the surrounding area and found cute little animals you could keep as  pets. And like the Chao garden the point was to collect many of them and  raise them and make them stronger. Every level of FNAF you beat gave  you cute little outfits they could wear too. I managed to find this  giraffe that was the size of a dwarf rabbit and I remember dressing it  up in a pink floral onesie.

At a certain point I got sick of looking at the FNAF characters every  time I wanted to play with my giraffe so I messaged a friend on discord  to ask if he could help me sprite swap the FNAF characters with my own.  But the message wouldn't send. No matter how many times I tried it never  sent. So I tried texting someone. That didn't send either. Something  was wrong here.

Putting my laptop away I decided to wander around the facility I was in.  Very quickly I noticed a hierarchy between workers and patients. Like  some weird prison. I also noticed the place had no exits anywhere. Rooms  weren't really rooms either. There were no enclosed areas with doors.  Every room had at least one missing wall. The more I looked into things  the more I wanted to leave. This wasn't a prison. I knew that. I could  just leave if I wanted, right?

Wrong. I managed to get a good deal down the hallway towards the only  staircase up when some of the workers began chasing me. I kept running,  but with a prosthetic leg I really wasn't doing very well. That's when I  remembered something the workers always told me. There's always a way  to play to your strengths. So, knowing the guards would catch up to me, I  reached down and took the foot off my prostatic and threw it at them as  hard as I possibly could. It was like a weird slow mo effect as the  foot glides through the air and knocked the guard out with a hit to the  head.

So I manage to get out and as I'm running I decide to jump off a nearby  cliff. I knew I'd be fine, and after I jumped I began to fly through the  air. I glided all the way down while thinking that this is exactly what  I was meant to do. That is, until I reached the bottom. There was this  big massive tree and I grabbed onto it and slid down so I wouldn't  crash.

From there I spent a short time wandering the forest before I heard more  people. These people looked like stereotypical hunters with camo and  the orange vests and everything. I heard them talking about how this  land was restricted territory and how no trespassers were allowed. I  just ran away from them as they got closer and climbed up a nearby tree.  Each of the three of them had machine guns and I didn't want to even  risk talking to them.

So I'm up in this tree when I see the restricted area signs. A bit too  late, but I figure if I just stay perfectly still they won't find me.  This plan worked for several minutes, but eventually one of them did see  me. So I did what any sane person would do. I climbed to the very top  of the tree and in the loudest booming voice I could muster I screamed  "I AM THE DRYAD WHO PROTECTS THIS FOREST, YOU DARE SHOOT AT ME?!?". This  caught all of them off gaurd and they started asking me to prove it. I  told them I could use my dryad magic to prove it to them. The plan was  to use sleight of hand. Make it look like both of my legs were normal  and then fling off the prosthetic to make it seem like I altered my body  to make it disappear. Maybe it was a dumb plan, but I'll never know  because this is when my cats woke me up lol

This dream was weird. I was myself in this dream and I had found these things called "Go Crystals" which apparently allowed someone to open a portal between realities at will. You specifically needed three of them to do this so for the rest of the dream I called them Go Crystals 3 and would correct anyone who said otherwise. As a companion/familiar I had this talking golden retriever who was apparently from the other dimension to begin with. He began to teach me all sorts of stuff about his world and we'd constantly pop over to walk around his home area. It was this massive lush forest that seemed to extend indefinitely. It was all fun and games until we managed to find ourselves at the entrance to the underground. It was a path in a more open part of the forest with bushes and trees planted in a more organized/decorative manner. This is where I got an inkling as to where I was and promptly told my dog we needed to leave.

We had made it to Muria, which for those who don't know is where my current D&D campaign takes place. This was the entrance to the underdark that lead to Cali's hometown and I did NOT want to be anywhere near that place. Apparently he didn't either because as I was leaving I ran into him. It was... Really weird to see Cali pre-transition. Like I've drawn him as a kid once but actually seeing him in a dress and with his hair down like that was kind of jarring. The two of us got to talking and at one point the Go Crystals came up. He said he's been wanting to find them for a long time because he wanted to get away from home. What better way to escape an abusive home than to move to an entirely different dimension? I agreed to this and as I left I took him along with me.

Of course... That's where things went wrong on my end. So we spend the rest of the day outside playing and I'm flying around while my dog chases the both of us around. When it gets to about sunset we head back to my house where MY MOM AND AKORE ARE BOTH SITTING AT THE TABLE. Apparently Akore also had Go Crystals and could sense more in the area when I brought mine over? Or something like that. Anyway, my mom greeted us and was all "Oh, you have a new friend! I want to get to know her family blah blah blah". Yes, she did call Cali a "her" which kinda pissed me off. Both me and Cali were like "ok family dinner, cool, we need to get ready first"

We duck into my room in the basement and Cali explains that the Drow have been looking for these crystals to help them expand their range. They want death to all surface people and blah blah typical evil drow bullshit. I told him she could NOT have my crystals and told him to try stealing hers while I hid mine. Then both me and my dog set off to find a hiding place.

I flew down the mountain with the crystals until I eventually landed on the roof of someone's house pretty far away. My goal was to dump the crystals on the roof and hide them with a magic glyph but my magic for whatever reason wasn't working. The roof I was on was also super unstable and it managed to collapse and drop me into these hillbilly people's backyard. They caught me due to the noie and told me that they didn't have any money and If I was here to rob them they'd call the police. I didn't want to explain the crystals so I told them I was here practicing my flying, but they both laughed because I didn't have wings and normal humans can't fly. I managed to convince them that if I could show them they couldn't call the police, so they brought me to the front of their house to prove myself.

I ran down the street, checking the direction of the wind as I did. Once everything was in order I ran back the opposite direction and began to lift into the air. They were all surprised I was actually flying and I kinda just hovered under this big tree as the neighborhood came out to watch in awe

at this point I had successfully hidden the crystals and knew I had to make my way back home before my mom and Akore got too suspicious. So I flew back home right around the time Cali had returned. He had not gotten the chance to hide the crystals he stole from Akore, but he figured if she could sense them and already knew I had three she'd just assume they were the ones I already had. We all sat at the table and had a very awkward dinner together as Akore and my mom talked to each other. They got along... Eerily well. Which is odd because I know in real life my mom would loathe someone like Akore. Once dinner was over my dog started asking how Cali would get home without the crystals and... He said that in front of everyone. Which threw Akore into a rage and the dream ended with me and Cali opening a portal to run away from her as she chased us

So in this dream I was in a similar freedom fighter group to the  original sonic the hedgehog series (the one with sally) except the  "freedom fighters" were my classmates in high school and the BBEG  villain was one of the teachers. I can't remember the exact  circumstances but I very distinctly remember that it was the end of the  school year and that we had to rescue these eggs from the teacher before  the last day of school got out. If we couldn't all the eggs would be  killed and we'd fail our mission. I have NO idea what was in these eggs  or why they were important but in the moment I didn't question it.

So after getting driven to school on the last day me and all the other  freedom fighters immediately rush into the gym. Apparently because it's  the last day and you don't really do any learning on the last day the  faculty had set up a massive projector screen there and set up an Xbox  for all the students to play on. But we weren't there to play games, we  were there on a mission. In actuality the Xbox was there as a  distraction while the teacher loaded up these eggs to be shipped away.  So we set up several decoy students of our own who sat and played the  Xbox at full volume to make it seem like we were busy and then sent the  rest of us out to cut off the egg transport.

For reference, all these eggs were the size of chicken eggs. They were a  flat brown and way harder than a normal chicken egg (not rock solid,  but they could survive a bit more than a chicken egg would be able to  handle). I took as many of these eggs as I could and shoved them into a  small zip-up binder inside my backpack. I managed to get just about all  of them, and the ones that didn't fit in the binder I stuffed into my  socks. From there I headed back to the gym to wait out the day. If I  left early everyone would know something was up

Well, the teacher very quickly discovered that the eggs were missing and  he was PISSED. In an instant the ground began to tremble as the entire  building lifted into the air. Apparently the gym was not actually the  school gym, but some sort of hovercraft disguised as a gym (think the  egg carrier in SADX. it was that size). Once in the air the Xbox  projector screen shifted to my teachers face and he started talking in  an evil villain monologue type way.

Long story short, he knew we'd be pulling something on the last day of  school. Because it was the last day there'd be no more school  attendance, so if we all went "missing" no one would notice. Flawed  logic, but hey. It's a dream. He then explained that he'd be giving us  one chance to return the eggs. If not, he'd subdue each of us and search  our stuff himself. Well... I was not going to give myself up. I was not  giving up these eggs, so he made the ship do a fucking barrel roll  which banged us up and basically paralyzed us temporarily. All of us  were so busy and concussed that we couldn't walk upright. I was forced  to crawl on my hands and knees as I desperately searched for my  backpack.

Of course, my teacher got my backpack before I did. He took it away and  stashed it somewhere. Many of the eggs had smashed in this ordeal. and  as I was on the ground stunned he took off the one sock I was wearing  that had the last remaining egg in. This was stuffed in my backpack and  all of my stuff was taken away. So, forced to walk on my hands and knees  like a dog, I followed this guy up the stairs and managed to swipe back  one last single egg before the bell to leave rang. He believed that he  had gotten all the eggs so everyone was let go.

Slowly I managed to regain my balance and the dream ended with me  successfully rescuing a single egg hidden in my sock before hopping in  my dad's car to go home

So this dream started off with me being at school. Apparently I had a  Lazer pointer that rather than pointing a little dot at things cast mage  hand. Like I point it, press the button to make it grab wherever the  light would be, andas long as it was pointing I was golden.

My teachers very much did NOT like this. Like they kept stopping class  to try and figure out who was being disruptive. I did not care and  continued to fuck around with the laser pointer until lunch. Once  lunchtime rolled around I began noticing something odd.

It started with a video talking about how there might be a chao garden  style glitch in real life. How you can grab the little animals and chaos  drives and use them basically infinitely if you hold them right. I  wanted to train my skills in magic so I decided during lunch I would  find some of the little animals and start training myself in these  skills.

So suddenly the school turns into what's basically a level of Spyro with  me running around and collecting animals and gemstones. Every time I  encounter either I do exactly what you do in sonic adventure two to  infinitely reuse them. I could feel my magic getting stronger as I did  this. Like, actually stronger. My Lazer pointer could pull more heavy  things and I could run faster and had a vague ability to fly (at this  point it was just jumping really high)

I did this for a long time before noticing one of the animals had been  following me. An eel looking thing that could also slither on land like a  snake. Once I noticed this a ran back inside the school and returned to  class until the bell rang to go home. The eel continued to follow me  throughout the day.

When I get home I'm greeted by my Alzheimer's grandma who I was told to  keep inside the house. My grandpa was also there and seemingly did not  notice or care about her Alzheimer's. They told me they were going to  church and they had a motorcycle they were going to ride there. I was  like "hell no" because my grandparents had never even touched a  motorcycle and my grandma is so far gone she can't even remember our  names. How the hell is she going to ride a motorcycle??

So like... I spend at least an hour trying to convince them not to get  on the motorcycle before finally saying "fuck it" and just letting them  do what they want. I spesifically remember watching them up until the  point they were both on it and once it started up I looked away to not  see whatever carnage might occur. I have no idea if they made it to  church or not.

As I went back inside Meridian was suddenly there sitting at the kitchen  counter. He told me he was surprised I'd do something so wreckless in  the set timeline. I said I didn't care anymore and next time I'd cut the  breaks just to see what happens. He laughs at this and tells me there  won't be a next time because, duh, unlike him I'm not in a time loop.  But that got me thinking. Why was he suddenly showing himself to me NOW?  Meridian doesn't show himself to anyone! Something was off here.

Eventually I decide to walk home from my grandparents house because for  some reason I get the feeling mom won't pick me up. So I walk home and  the rest of the day plays out as normal until I wake up the next  morning. Oddly enough I am back at the school with the Lazer pointer  watching that video of the Chao garden glitch again. That's when it hits  me. I am in the loop with Meridian.

Naturally, I use this to my advantage. See, rather than my skills  resetting like they usually do during a loop they persisted. I had all  the magic I did the day before. So.... Abusing the glitch again i began  training my skills in the arcane even more. And I continued to do this  as the loop went on. Every repeat of the day I abused this glitch and  every loop I got stronger.

But then I noticed something strange. As my power grew that eel  following me also grew. Once it was big enough (size of a car almost.  Or... Length? Idk) it began to attack me. I'd run away from it and it  turned into a game for me. Because I was in the loop there was no real  danger, right? Well, it's all fun and games until you literally get  ripped in half. See, as this continued the eel not only got larger, but  faster, stronger, and more aggressive. One loop ended early for me  because I was quite literally ripped in half. One moment I'm fucking  around tainting this thing and the next I'm waking up back at the school  screaming in pain and terror.

That's when I realized this wasn't a game. I was in actual danger. So  using the power of the time loop I spent the next few go around a  gathering information on this eel. Apparently it was the pet/familiar of  a magic bounty hunter. Their goal, naturally,  is to capture people who  have cast amounts of magic and steal it for themselves. They were like  reverse warlocks in a way. Rather than a powerful being making a deal  and granting them magic they hunted down the powerful beings and forced  them to make a deal. They wanted my magic because it had been growing  with each loop. Hence why the eel didn't stay the same every time.  Apparently the larger the eel is the more magic it senses and it uses  that to better hunt skilled mages.

Eventually the eel becomes too much for me. I keep dying and dying HURTS  so I want to make it stop. So I decide one loop to let myself get  captured and I'm dragged to this house full of.... Lilo and stitch type  experiments? Like, the guy who ran the operators looked like Hamsterveel  or however you spell his name. He game me this schpiel about how magic  as powerful as mind couldn't be trusted in average hands and that I  needed to give it up to keep people safe. I'm all "hell no, you've  killed me 284693 times trying to get my magic, fuck you I'm not  dangerous". He did not take kindly to this and said if I was not willing  to give my magic to him he would take it.

So like... Until now all I had ever used has been mage hand. But this  guy and his lackeys are chasing me. They are too fast for me. I need to  get away so I channel all the magic I can muster and turn into Halcyon!  But not just halcyon. Halcyon the first. The real great dragon. Once in  that form I actually take on his personality and memories but still have  enough of my own to change back at any time. I then begin flying away  from these people who, unsurprisingly, give chase.

At one point as Halcyon I run into Altair who begins going on an excited  nerd rant about being in the presence of a god. I remember being very  short with him because at that point I was in a literal construction  zone trying to fly away from magic bounty hunters. Altair talked about  how dragons getting on the purity scale basically paved the way for  Sinvian and I'm all "I hate sinvian, I hate Kodin, they killed my son,  leave me alone" which... Is not accurate? Because halcyon the second  doesn't die? Not in the comic, anyway. Reguardless, I remember flying  over streets and going through a tunnel before ending back up at home  and turning back to normal.

When I get home Meridian is there. Once again sitting at my kitchen  counter which leads me to believe he has no sense of comfort because why  the hell would he pick a hard barstool over my couch? Either way, he  comments on my magic and I go off boasting about how great it is. He  then hits me with "yeah it's great and all, but have you amounted to  anything?" Like, having it is one thing. Using it is another. Actually  putting it to good use is entirely different. I tell him I think so  because I don't fucking know and he just hmms and haas and scribbles it  into his journal before saying he has to get going. He leaves and  eventually the day resets again and I'm back at the school

Loops continue. My magic continues to grow and the eel chasing me does  as well. Every day at this point starts with me running and ends with me  running. It's exhausting and even with my ability to shape shift into  my characters I still only barely get away each time. Halcyon the first  isy preferred form because he can fly and I remember several times  literally jumping off a cliff to fly away from these bounty hunters.  Also, every loop I become halcyon Altair shows up and I have to  basically babysit him like an NPC escort mission in a video game. It's  exhausting and I just want to find a way to stop these bounty hunters.  Mainly because if they target Meridian we're all fucked. If he dies in  the set timeline reality ceases to exist. Not a good thing.

During one loop while being chased I land in the enemy's basement.  Meridian is there and is surprised to see me. He asks how I am and I say  I'm "ready to kick ass". He then laughs and we talk for a bit before he  yells upstairs to alert everyone I'm there. I'm like "dude, what the  hell" and he mentions that it'll be fine. He's in a loop. This is one of  many loops. I will not die because when the day resets for him I do as  well. Clearly he had not caught on to the fact I was also in the loop.  Not like I would expect him to. I didn't start mine the normal way.

Meridian leaves and I'm left cornered because I'm literally in a  basement with like 12 big scary experiments coming to hunt me down. So I  do the only thing I can think of. I turn into feral dog sonie in an  attempt to squeeze past them. It... Does not work. They catch me and  drag me upstairs and sit me at the kitchen counter (seriously, why not a  couch? Why the counter? It's so uncomfortable). They then shove two  papers and two pens my way and explain their ultimatum. Either I sign  over my magic to them and live, then they switch targets to Meridian  (who they called a "more powerful source" and not his name) or I sign  over his and spare him, but I remain their target. Apparently the two  different pens mattered so while they weren't looking I swapped them and  signed the wrong contract with the wrong pen making it null and void.  This PISSED THEM OFF but gave me enough time to once again turn into  feral dog sonie and begin running.

I'm running. I'm a dog. These people are chasing me trying to get me to  sign this contract. They apparently have a Tesla or other electric car  and hop in and start chasing me down in the car. I only narrowly escape  each time as I desperately try to turn into Halcyon again. For some  reason it isn't working and I'm starting to panic. So I continue to run.  The dream ends with me as feral dog sonie running away from these  people towards another cliff while they chase me in their car. My plan  was to jump off the cliff and HOPEFULLY turn into Halcyon in time to  save myself while they just drove off to their deaths but uhhh... I woke  up before that happened
