Weird Dreams 2.0

Huzzah, we're back in business!

This morning I was inspired to come close to creating a new character. Or at least to draw him.
If we're ever allowed a sixth character at the UV, or if I ever replace one of my current ones ... this will be the new blood.

Croc.

In my dream, things were changing on Old Earth. It as post-2012. Something from space was striking our atmosphere in such a way that it didn't penetrate it and come to our surface, no ... but was rather bending it, pushing it inward, denting it in spots. The result wound up with constant storms, excess water in the sky in the way that fluid builds-up around a busted bone. The sky was always gray. Warm rain poured from the skies. Tornadoes formed out of funnels of pure air with no supercells backing them. Heated by the gentle patter-patter of droplets, the ice caps began to melt. Most of the planet had become submerged.

Most of the human population was wiped out. Those that died were reincarnated as dinosaurs which escaped the thawing glaciers. Even these were becoming killed due to the flood waters. Many could not swim, let alone remain on the surface for too long. Skilled swimmers will tire when they do not rest, and drown.

What happened next was a hyper evolution. Dinosaurs and other animals quickly adapted to their new aquatic world. With constant rain forcing waves through the ocean, these beasts lost their limbs for flippers, gained gills ... and therein were superior. Those land animals died from Darwin's theory.

And then ... were exterminated by another threat.

Amongst the death tolls, few humans crawled out and managed to live in their own bodies, untouched by evolution. They spread out, trying to find ways in which they could survive. One of these was an old man gone mad scientist. He was determined to study the anatomical features and biography of the new, rampant sea life. This included autopsies, experimentation ... and the eradication of all those inferior, as well as the pushing of water levels to raise by interfering with the weather to make it worst. He hired surviving groups of humans to hunt, capture, and kill these 'legged beasts'. Dedicated to poaching and looting what they could, these groups became the new-age pirates with their fleets of massive wooden galleons.

I was introduced into the dream in the form of a beast I would like to call 'Stumpy', a Stegosaurus who was undergoing evolution. My hind legs were flippers, but I could not breath underwater and my swimming blew chunks. I awoke on the cement perimeter of the mad-man's castle at sea, surrounded on all sides by raging waves, gray skies, a shockingly transparent ocean, hordes of sea beasts who saw me but could not attack. Whales, dolphins, prehistoric things with teeth ... you name it. Turning an awkward corner on this castle sidewalk, I saw the scientist himself speaking to two things: another person, and his 'pet' - what could have been a Spinosaurus at one point and as tall, colored in odd purples and blues and reds with fins on his head, webs between his toes and fingers ... large claws, a huge sail on his back ... and the whiskers of a Chinese dragon.

And ... I had a horrible feeling that somewhere in the water was a beast I did not want to even see ... Something so horrible and powerful ...

Perturbed and confused, I turned around to where I had been a moment ago. Out at sea was a fleet of maybe five HUGE pirate ships. They were firing at land-beasts round up on one side of the castle with only ten feet of cement ledging to keep them from falling into the water. Elephants, rhinos, smaller things, larger things ... all of them being blasted by a barrage of cannon-and-gunfire. The pirates saw me. I took a few hits on the snout and turned, in a rage, to where the scientist was ... then lurched forth.

They noticed me. The mad scientist spoke, don't know what was said. The Spinosaurus? Began to address me, but I was far too enraged. Somehow I charged him, knocked him down ...

Not sure what happened in between because there was a moment in which everything was blotted out. But I wound up standing over the Spino victoriously. We were alone. The Spino was half-lying on the ground, propped up by his forelimbs. Defeated. Betrayed? I asked his name.

"Croc."

And my phone woke me up.

I mailed myself two packages in one dream and two dreams later then finally arrived. o.0

That's a little disturbing, Foxy O.o Though it does make you a very reliable postal service...?

Interesting dream, Windra. I have a very strange dream that I want to share, too.

Since a month ago I've been having this string of the same, strange dream for a whole week. In the dream, I was sitting on a throne made entirely out of keris' blades. A 'keris' is an oddly-shaped, bladed weapon like the ones used by Malay warriors. Depending on the size, a keris can either be like a knife or a sword with a wavy-shaped blade. The same recurring dream happened every night for an entire week. Then, they stopped. But, exactly one week ago... i had the same dream again. Me, sitting on a throne of keris blades. I've never been interested in keris, so why am I dreaming about it for several nights? What is the meaning? Does it signify the fallen Malay warriors who fought against foreign rule before Malaysia's independence was achieved? Many Malay warriors, known as the 'pendekar', fought against foreign forces using nothing more than keris, especially during the Japanese Occupation in Malaysia. And August 31 is Malaysia's Independence Day. Is it some sort of reminder...?

Dude that is one EPIC dream, Windy. You must have slept for HOURS to dream all that XD

Just last night I had a good one, for those of you who happen to be fans of the anime series "Bleach"... well, since I've been watching the series since it started on Cartoon Network (I think we're at episode 155 or so right now), I guess you could call me a fan, or near enough, anyway. It's fun to watch. Anywho, recently, I've played around with the idea of being a soul reaper, named my Zanbakto "Tem Tem Boka", and given it control over the four elements, Earth, Air, Fire, Water. Well...

... last night, I dreamt I was a soul reaper, with a Zanbakto much like Ichigo's Bankai release: A black blade. Only mine had a touch of red to it. And didn't work at all like the blade I'd imagined awake. Like Kenpachi's blade, my Zanbakto seemed to be in a permanent state of release, and I had complete control of its Length, Sharpness and Flexibility, meaning I could run the blade over my arm without leaving so much as a mark, yet in the next instant, I could slice through stone... or anything else. I could stiffen the blade into unbendable perfection, or make it flex like a wet noodle. And, I could extend its length as long as I wanted, from several inches to limits I never managed to reach (during one of my "demos", I think I had it out to at least a thousand feet before I recalled it). I did all of these things and more during the dream, but one of the things I did with it was to extend it, and cut through a very large, thick stone wall. Within the cut of my blade, the stone crumbled and vanished, and the hole became an arched doorway between the Spirit World and the world of the living. Yes, my Zanbakto could be "sharpened" so fine, I could cut a doorway between the two worlds. As I said in the dream, "My Zanbakto can cut anything." I remember that aspect of my sword was of great interest to this other soul reaper. Oh, and I could control all three aspects of my Zanbakto at once, my favoite tactic being to extend the blade into the ground, and have it emerge wherever I wanted it, not to mention making the blade arc in and out of the ground, like a needle and thread through cloth. Even brushed the sleave of this soul reaper walking through the field, without taking his arm off or even cutting the sleave.

So, lots of fun last night... slept really good, too.
