Wow. That had to be one of the most intense dreams I have ever had. It is also one of those few I can vividly recall.
The early parts of the dream are a mix of interesting things, all related to the environment: a tree-city, like how Wookiees’ build their homes on Kashyykk. Ironically enough, the only name that comes to me when I think of the place is “Konoha”. Lol.
Anyway, I distinctly remember two key “events” in the dream. One part was me giving lectures and demonstrations to a group of… ninja? Soldiers of some kind, that’s for sure. I think I was contrasting ninjutsu with bujutsu, but whatever. The other part was my own lessons, from these huge Hiko-Seijirou-lookalike twins: one had navy hair, the other had crimson. Funny thing is, these two were constantly bickering with each other over my curriculum, and completing for the place as “my favorite sensei”. Lol*2.
From my training, the dream transitioned out of the city itself and deep into the woods. At this point my consciousness wasn’t following myself, however, but following my two sensei as they frantically looked for me for a then-unknown reason. What followed was a real yeah-yeah-laugh-it-up-fuzzball scene, with me falling off my perch and the two sensei both diving to catch me, only for me to recover enough to successfully break my fall. Lol^2.
Of course, dreams are wont to change focus suddenly, and that’s what happened. Now back in my own point of view, myself and my two sensei are confronted by a woman. Somehow we end up playing keep-away in a scaled-up version of my room.
It was really weird: she sank into the floor, then started reaching hands through the floor and walls in an effort to grab me. My two sensei stayed grounded, and suddenly I understood that I was the target. So I’m bouncing from bed to table to furniture in completely random fashion (and not knocking over a thing!), while Sensei Red and Sensei Blue try to catch and pin our foe.
Needless to say, it doesn’t work. She grabs me, up close and personal, and all I can see is her eyes changing, the whites turning blood red from the bottom up like a glass filling with liquid. I try to fight by willpower, and do slow the process a bit, but I’m still surprised and she succeeds.
Whereupon, I’m thrown aside as she cheers in victory and about how she has taken the “power of a dark god”.
Right, so I’m thinking this isn’t a Good Thing™, so I go and try to get them (the power) back, and the fight abruptly shifts gears. If you’ve ever read the later volumes of the Mahou Sensei Negima manga, you can understand what I mean when I say it was a frantic blend of magical combat and martial arts.
I do manage to get the dark god power back, though, drawing it out of her by getting up close and personal and locking eye-gazes with her. I don’t do anything with that power, though, other than hold it. So eventually she manages to take them back from me! Frustration abounds.
The second time I catch her, I have something different in mind. After drawing the dark god power out of her, I say something to the effect, “I hereby accept my Destiny as bearer of this Power, and my Fate as its wielder.” She goes all terrified on me, and Sensei Red and Blue are screaming denials, but I’m feeling little different, not feeling the kind of corruption that ran rampant in her while she held and used the same power.
Actually, I’m feeling empowered… so I go vamp on her. Totally weird. Anyway, tasting her blood reveals the startling truth. She loves me, has loved me, from the depths of her soul, and wanted nothing more than to save me from what she believed was my fate: that being, corruption by the dark god power. Which is why she decided she’d take the dark god power herself; ok, so she’d be the one corrupted and be killed, but in her mind that’s ok - as long as I’m still around to live and love.
*can hear the romantic sighing from the audience* *snicker* *snort*
Right, so there I am, curse-seal-like branding marking my body with the signs of the dark god power, with fangs in this woman’s neck, who I’ve suddenly realized is head-over-heels in love with me, and all she wants is for me to be happy. So what do I do?
Well, dark gods need priests, right? So I make her my High Priestess. Wow, total turnaround for her, huh? Her thank-you was a spontaneous make-out session that quickly heated up into something even more intimate, while sensei’s Red and Blue are laughing and crying and slapping each other on the back, in the background…
That’s where Dad woke me up, at around nine-thirty this morning. Thinking about it initially, I kind of assumed a certain lady (you know who you are!) to be the one from the dream… But then I realized, nowhere in the dream did I actually see her face, in the clear. So maybe, I haven’t met her yet…
Of course, with the details of the dream so completely in mind, I could help continuing it as a fantasy. I don’t know where I got the name Konoha for the city (looks nothing like the anime version), but that’s what I got when I thought about it in waking. So my fantasy involved going before the Godime Hokage with my new High Priestess and offering to make Konoha my treasure, and give its people my blessing, in exchange for legal rights to make Konoha my home as a citizen.
Consider that we’re in Naruto-mode now, and then think about how dark gods tend to relate to Konoha as “citizens”. I think you’ll figure it out ^_^
