Dimensional Travel, and the Stranger
Another strange dream this morning. Let me start off by saying that I have crazy abilities in my dreams. One of which is the ability to teleport/time travel. In this particular dream I was trying to get somewhere else, anywhere else. So I went into my closet. There was a door at the back of it that was supposed to lead to another room. I turned my back to it, closed my eyes, opened the door and fell backwards through it. I fell like nothing was there to stop me. I fell through the floor and tumbled through space. I eventually landed on a smooth carpeted surface, very gently I might add. I stood up and looked through the door through which I had passed, I could see the closet and the room from which I came. However, turning around I realized that I was indeed somewhere else. I had created a portal that bridged two places by this doorway.
When I got there, I found a little boy who said he had been expecting someone. His father was in trouble and some bad men had come to take him. He hid from them, so they didn’t know that he knew. He urged me to help him get his father back but I refused.
I started to go back to my room when the door that led to my closet slammed shut. When I opened it, I realized that it led to a garden instead. I walked out into the garden, simply soaking in the beauty of it all. I eventually came to another door which I knew would lead me to the young man’s father. But I wanted to go home so I started back. However, when I turned around I was confronted by a stranger. He simply stood in my way and would not let me pass. I told the man to let me pass but he would not move. It was then that I decided that I would pass him by force. (cool new dream ability coming up) I flexed both arms and immediately darkness consumed my left hand and bright white light consumed my right. It was like balls of energy that radiated their color. Of course black represented the void, all that touched its darkness would be drained of energy. The white represented the well, all that touched it’s energy would be seared and vaporized by the sheer amount of energy being expelled.
The stranger flexed his arms and both his hands produced similar balls of energy, but they where green, which in this case represented venom, or poisonous energy. Anything touched by this energy would rot, spoil and disrupt its energy. I countered by flexing my back muscles. Six orbs of green light appeared behind my back (in two columns of three) which where attached to me by silver chains. They connected me to the venom element which not only made me venomous, but also immune to venom.
A cool martial arts battle ensued. He would shoot blasts of venom energy at me and I would absorb it with my left hand, my venom orbs would glow brighter, and then I would shoot a blast back at the man from my right arm. We where perfectly matched and I could not seem to overpower him. I reached out with my left hand and created a tendril of the void energy. Like a whip, it slashed out at the stranger and coiled around him. I began to drain him of his life energy. While he was weakened I lunged at him, aiming to punch him full force with my right hand and obliterate him with an energy blast.
However, he reached out and grabbed my right arm, and then my left. This created some sort of messed up metaphysical circuit. Essentially I was pumping him full of energy with my right arm and draining it with my left. The energy simply ran in a loop. This felt really strange, like I was being electrocuted and it felt as if the entire universe was going to shake to pieces. Arcs of black and white energy where shooting off in random directions, obliterating everything they touched. The garden was falling to pieces all around me. It was about then that the stranger threw me back and the connection was broken.
The green orbs disappeared from his hands, he stood up straight, dusted off his suit, and said, very plainly “Are you not going to help that young boy’s father?” I was rather shocked to discover that this man only wished for me to help this young child out. I said “NO! I’m not, I’m going back where I came from!” He replied with “I really must insist that you help this man.” and with that he motioned to the door behind me, which opened as if in response to these words.
Behind the door was a hotel room that overlooked a city. I walked into the room, the door closing behind me, to discover that it must be a very expensive room. It was high up and I could see for miles. The furniture looked very expensive and like it was created by some famous designer but didn’t really look that comfortable.
Out of the window, I noticed some train tracks. There was a passenger train coming down the line and I noticed that a man in one of the windows was the young boy’s father. I ran and jumped through the window, which shattered around me. I fell towards the train very quickly, I had obviously launched myself from the building with much force. I powered up my left arm (with the dark energy) and sent out another void tendril which I grabbed onto a billboard with to slow my descent. The tendril snapped and I moved like I was going to punch the top of the train. Instead the void energy transformed into giant claws which gripped into the roof of the train. I dented it slightly upon landing and my dark claws punctured the rooftop. I focused the void energy and the roof of the train froze as I drained it of all the heat energy I could manage. I powered up my right arm with white energy and punched the roof. This caused the roof to shatter into tiny pieces, raining down upon the people below.
I fell down next to the young boy’s father, grabbed him with my right arm, shot out a void tendril (spiderman style) which grabbed onto something in the distance and pulled us both from the train like batman with his grappling hook gun.
It was then that I woke up and had to go to work. It’s unfortunate, I really wanted to see how that one would end. I would imagine that more crazy fights where on their way… but I never got to experience them. The coolest thing about this dream was the fact that I got to travel through vast amounts of space by transforming doorways into dimensional portals. I also found it totally awesome that I was using those crazy abilities (orbs of energy, the void and the well). That was totally awesome! I don’t know where my mind gets this stuff but it sure is cool. I may have to do a piece of artwork… perhaps a photo manipulation to illustrate that scene. I figured you might get a kick out of that. I sure did.
Type to you later,

i like that, although it does sound familiar in some strange way. i must say that energy work is rather difficult for most, but i do remember we we were younger you did have an attraction to it (from a metaphysical standpoint) as do i. one of these days i really should speak with you about the experiences my coven and i have had with energy and strange beings.
til later.

Ah, the stories I could tell. As interested as I might be, I’ve never had a dream like this before. I just found it totally awesome. Crazy abilities keep cropping up in my dreams. I really wish that I had a way to make my dreams reality.
If I can’t do it literally, then I’ll do so through art and perhaps even video games. This dream definitely has potential as a game, specifically because of the various elements involved. It would take some work coming up with a story though.
Good to hear from you again too, and thanks for dropping by.

have you ever tried astral projection? err…at least successfully? The dream dimension and astral dimension are are alot alike the difference being a dream would not affect the physical plane, where as something done on the astral plane would affect the physical, maybe not in a huge way but little changes may lead up to a big bang.

I have tried astral projection many times but never was successful. I have suspected that I’ve accidentally astral projected during a dream. I base that solely on being able to see colors beyond the range of normal human vision which I have heard is possible during astral projection.
However, I can’t substantiate that with any “evidence”. I have also had dreams that seemed more “real” than the waking world. It is simply possible that my brain is more capable than I give it credit to produce wildly surreal experiences during a dream state.
