ShadowRunners' Conclave

Dreams again. Interesting ones this time. I dreamed that I was at a ShadowRunners Conclave. (Who ever heard of such a thing) and I ran into one of my ex-boyfriends, a street samurai named Steelclaw. He was actually the guy who taught me how to use my snapblades. In the dream, he cornered me to ask me for a date. I remember that since we had not parted on good terms, (not bad terms, just not good terms) I turned him down. As I was turning him down, I got knocked on the back of the head. *thud* I was out.

When I woke up, I was in another place. Away from the Conclave. I knew this was fragged. My whole team was there and I was here. As I sat up, I found myself handcuffed and gagged. Steel was there. He started telling me that I had to help him and his team on something. I could see four others there. No mages. Still, that did not explain how they had me stuck in a ward. I could go astral for all of about 3 feet. I could not throw spells or they would rebound on me. Yes, fragged was a good word for my situation.

I argued with Steel, telling him I had other priorities. He smacked me around a bit until I stopped arguing and started listening. He was babbling on about a magical sword that they needed to get. All I could think of was as soon as I got back to my team, I was going to get them to help me geek Steel and his fraggin' team. In fact, I would give Steel to Templar and Cat to play with for a bit.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded. Knight Errant was raiding the place! I did the only thing I could do. I tossed a stun spell at the ward. It, of course, rebounded and knocked me out. So when EK came in, they saw exactly what I wanted them to see: An unconscious bound and gagged mage who was locked inside a ward and had obvious signs of abuse. (Yeah, yeah, I know the gag disappeared and reappeared conviniently. It's a dream.)

When I woke up, I did a good job of convincing them that I was Jade Andrews, Mistuhama mage, security consultant - kidnapped and thank goodness, Knight Errant was there to save me. I, of course, played it off as if they had been sent to save me, rather than it being a raid on a ShadowRunner lair. Jade doesn't know of such things.

After a few checks, EK let me go. One of them was in the process of asking me out when I finally woke up.

Secret Desires?

Dreams again. Interesting one this morning. I'm not sure where I was, but it was a small town where everyone knew everyone. There was one man that I liked but I kept myself away from him because I was shy. Then, suddenly, a the men in the town got together and decided to claim all the women as slaves - Gorean style. It was weird.

They set up these long black ropes all over everywhere. I was making sure I stayed out of the center of them, sensing something was wrong. Then, on a signal, all the ropes closed in and tightened. The men on the inside of the ropes pretended to be confused and then grabbed the women. As soon as I saw what was happening, I fled.

There was much raping, collaring and branding going on. I fled to my secret home. I notice that I wasn't fighting what was going on, just evading the men who sought to capture me. I knew that that eventually, I would be caught. I wanted to be sure that I was claimed by the Right Guy.

Once in my secret place, I hid in a closet. I knew the man was coming for me but as much as I wanted him, I could not go without a fight. He ransacked my home and then finally came to the closet, opening the door. He grabbed me by the wrists and yanked me from the closet, saying that he was now my Master and that I had worried him for disappearing. He then threw me to two other men who subdued and bound me. Then they branded me with the Master's mark.

27 August
Skin Deep

I had the most spectacular dream of waking up and discovering that my skin was too big for me. I went through an amazing number of gyrations to peel my skin from me. It was tough, like rubber. When I was done, there I stood: the butterfly. I had my idea of a perfect body. I will always remember that scene. Me standing in perfect nakedness with the shreds of the skin I had just shed in tatters at my feet.

Somedays, I really wish my dream would come true. Haven't you ever wished that you could peel yourself out of your skin and become the person you've always wanted to be?

30 August
Innocent One

I'm going to have to thank Rob for planting ideas in my head that cause me to have erotic dreams. We were discussing "the annointed one" in the Bedrest game. 'He shall be known by his innocence...' (ala Buffy, the Vampire Slayer) and somehow, that sparked a dream about a fantasy LARP where everyone picked props before the game and then were told after the game started what the props meant. Somehow, I had choosen the two props (A bracelet and a pocket watch) that marked me as the 'innocent.'

Now, this is supposed to be just a LARP - a game, but there were two guys there that were playing for real: Brook and someone I didn't know. I don't know why Brook keeps showing up in my dreams as psychotic bad guys. He's one of the sweetest people I know. In any case, I was the "Innocent One" and the "Seed of the Choosen One" would herald in the new order of Darkness. So, Brook ICly convinces me that he's there to protect me and gets me alone. Then there is this huge, delicious seduction scene where I end up shackled to a bed (that's really an altar) and having a lot of yummy sex. Right after Brook finishes and I'm still shackled, the one guy comes in and the two of them have a huge fight about who is the "Choosen One." The other guy wins and then proceeds to have his way with me - but before he can let loose, Brook gets back up, pulls him off me and kills him, dead-dead. I woke up just as Brook was mounting me again. It was quite the dream, eh?

15 September
Plantery Alignment

Tuesday. What is it with me and my dreams lately? This morning I dreamed that all of the planets in the solar system were going to align for 24 hours. During that 24 hours, the light of the sun would not reach the earth and the earth would not rotate. In my dream, at this revelation, I got really scared. How would everyone stay on the planet? There would be no gravity. Then, a scientist popped up and explained the difference between gravitation mass and centrifical force and thus, explained why we would not just float away during the 24 hours of non-rotation. (Nice that I understand these physics concepts enough for my subconscious to use them to sooth me in a dream. Thanks, Dr. Utlaut!)

In any case, for some reason, a group of us had to go to the moon for some reason. During the mission, me and another guy snuck off to have sex as we watched the planets align. The guy was my friend Brian - whom I've been friends with for a while. We've never dated or anything but he's good guy. Oh yeah, in the dream, I was wearing my Catholic school girl outfit. *hmmm*

24 September
Captured!

Dreams. As my friend, Kevin, just told me, I don't just dream in color. I dream in -character- too. It's true. I dream a lot about my various gaming characters. Sometimes, I write stories based on the dreams I have. You can see them on my Alter Egos page or on my Scenes, Dreams and Short Stories page. This lastest dream is about Marlena, my Bedlam's Rest character who is destined to die a very icky in the next game.

I dreamed that a bunch of the Bedrest crew was in a building. I was sitting with Sir Kenneth Morgan, the Prince. I get a hunch and discovered that the place has been wired and video taped. Just as I warn SK, the place is raided. Only, the group that captures us is pretty inept once they get us. They suspect we are vampires but don't know how to get us to confess. So they give us questionaires. SK is his unflappable self and Marlena is getting annoyed. They seperate SK and Marlena to do dastardly things to Marlena since she's pretty feisty - only, someone had launched a rescue attempt. One problem, the black-clad military men come in shooting and Marlena is shot in the butt. (*grin*) She dives for cover and is buried in rubble. Janos, of all kindred, is there to dig her out - much to the displeasure of SK.

28 September
Starving

Typical Monday Morning. Is there any other kind? Odd dream of having a hamster that I forgot to feed. It was starving to death but I caught it in time. Fed it lettuce and grape. To me, this is a clear sign that there is something important that I am neglecting and that it will perish if I do get to it very soon. Only, I don't know what it is that I'm neglecting. This worries me a lot. Damn. I hate it when I have dreams like this.

10 October
Wedding Claws?

I dreamed that Mist's Ex and first ShadowRun partner, Steelclaw, was part of the big mondo Enemy that we, the Sanguinaries occassionally fight with.

[Two groups, the Panthers control the black chess pieces. The Silver Bears control the white chess pieces. Each chess piece is attuned to their person and gives them extra powers. The Good Guys(TM) are the Panthers. One of the the Sanguinaries members, Cat, holds the black Bishop's pawn. So, we help him out when he's called to duty.]

In any case, Mist discovered that Steelclaw is now of the Silver Bears. She had been dreaming of him lately and had gone looking for him. They met up. Steelclaw had become crazy AND powerful and decided to have an obsessive crush on Mist. (She left him, remember.)

So, with all that happening, Cat gets the call to capture Steelclaw. Mist volunteers what she knows and for some reason, the Sanguinaries plan up this cracked scheme to lure Steelclaw to them by pretending Cat and Mist were getting married.

The wedding: It's going off without a hitch until the part about "Any objections" and there is Steelclaw, dressed in a tuxuedo. He walks up to Cat and Mist, looks at Cat and says, "Excuse me, I think you have my woman." and then proceeds to coldcock Cat, stunning him. Mist gets pissed and instead of zorting Steelclaw with magic, tries to coldcock him. Big mistake. Mist only hurts her hand. Steelclaw knocks her out, tosses her over his shoulder and walks out. Of course, all sorts of explosions and people are attacking. So, it's kind of amusing to watch Steelclaw as the one calm person in the whole room walking out with Mist over his shoulder while the world explodes around him. He takes her to his awaiting car, dumps her in the trunk, slaps a trank patch on her and cuffs her hands with magic binding cuffs.

Then I woke up. I wonder, what will happen to our fair heroine? I wonder what my GM is going to do when I write up this dream in Mist's diary. Knowing Shauna, she incorporate it somehow.

12 October
Find Yourself!

Monday. Dreams. *OY* I had one of those dreams this morning that make you sit up and take notice. I wonder if my subconscious is trying to tell me something.

I dreamt that one of my dearest friends had been lost to me, somehow. I was determined to find her or discover what happened to her at least. My friend, Dan Lopez, was a bad guy, trying to stop me from following her steps, which were basically throw myself down a wooded ravine. He chased me, trying to stop me because he 'cared for me' and I was having none of it. I threw myself over the ravine, eyes closed, I went tumbling head over heels. I could hear Dan yelling at me, saying that he would save me but he could not keep up. I fell off a cliff at the bottom of the ravine and fell into a forest. I remember feeling myself hit the ground.

I was dazed but still afraid that Dan was going to stop me. I got up painfully, battered and bruised, then stumbled about 10 feet before I hit the ground again. When I looked up, I saw a mideval village. A girl came towards me, but she was holding a video camera. It was an odd contractdiction. She was called away from me. When I looked up, I saw a man in a black top hat and cape. He showed me a white flower. It looked almost like three petaled cherry blossom. Then he said, "All you have to do is find yourself." The white flower flew towards me with his words echoing in my head.

Then, suddenly, I was in a 1920's doctor's office with some of the cast from "Poltergeist: The Series." One guy was frantically working to glue a piece of his skin to his body with a special goop because the skin contained his soul. I went to stop the enemy, the devil and it was the man in the top hat again. He waved his cane at me and I was elsewhere.

It appeared to be the 1930's but one man was controlling the traffic lights, telling me it was a fraud, a game. I didn't understand what he was talking about. Then, I saw an unusual set of double door and headed to them. People tried to stop me but I got through and found myself in the 1990's at a press release conference about a time travel machine. I knew this was the fraud.

Before I could say anything, the man in the top hat appeared again and said, rather urgently, "All you have to do is find yourself!" then he gave me a hard push and I was falling again. That's when I woke up.

Find myself? I didn't know I was lost.

8 November
Demon DJ

Had a really interesting dream this morning, too. I've been spending a lot of time talking about Raves with Terry. I've never been to one but I want to go but I'm feeling a bit shy. They sound like a cross between an awesome dance and a spiritual experience. In any case, I dreamed that there was a techoshaman DJ at the Rave that I was going too. Only, he was evil. He was planning to have the Ravers build the energy for him and then he was going to steal it. I'm not sure how I knew. But there were a lot of MTV-esq scenes of the DJ setting things up and a lot of fire. The images reminded me of the end of Devil's Advocate when Lucifer is in flames. When he paused, getting ready to begin the dance, I leapt to the stage and gave this impressive speech about how we'd all come to have a good time, to generate the energy and to release it for good, but this DJ was going to steal it from them. Steal it for evil and we had to stop him. Once his plan was revealed, he morphed into this horrible demon. Everyone panicked and fled. I was left to fight the demon on my own - or so I thought. Terry showed up with several friends. They fought the demon while he got me out of there, telling me that I was not ready for that yet but I had proven myself worthy of the training that was to come. That's when I woke up. It was a very cool dream.

8 December
Explosions

Tuesday. I have got to stop sleeping in on weekdays. WEIRD dreams this morning. Something about my brother blowing up the house so that Mom and I could not perform an experiment. Then something about me with one of the mutts, Jake, fleeing some badguys and running into my father but he was too depressed about my Mom's death to help us. And Terry was part of the bad guys. Then switch to 'normal' modern day America with me driving a moped to get to a friend's house and a 'friend' of mine stopping me, getting on behind me on the moped, making it very difficult to drive as he demanded me to confess to causing an accident that killed his daughter. *shudder* It was so weird and disturbing. Yeah, I got to get up at a normal time and start working out in the mornings.

26 December
Military School

Saturday. Slept in a lot. Interesting dreams. Something about Johanna riding a horse, and fighting some horrible alligator monster with little possum monsters. Enough to pee her pants and mark her saddle. She was telling us just how dangerous it all was.

Then I dreamed me and a friend were in some sort of controlling military school. I think it was Debi, my college bud, who was with me. We snuck into the General's office. For some reason, I put on his shirt and pants. We were messing around. Then another kid came in, wanting to 'get in on the action.' I told him no. Then, using these special spy goggles, I discovered that the "stars" (Generals) were coming back. Debi and the other guy got back to class while I had to grab my clothes and run.

Then that dream melded into me being a spiritual advisor (while I'm still running from the military school) and having to teach people how to make a circle, banish the negativity from it and wash themselves with holy, natural, protecting light. The spirits in the house didn't like me much.
