Yesterday, I was about to have a dream involving Daevion (who, for those who are synthonizing right now on this station, is one of my original characters and the one I’m fondest of). Too bad my mom had to wake me up before really getting to do anything; the last thing I saw was his face very close to mine; “I will be back soon”, he whispered.
He kept his word. This morning, I had the most incredible dream of my life.
It began in one of those beautiful roads in the woods, like those where are filmed tv spots for cars and the like. And I was no car and there was no one else around, but I was going to a place in these woods where I would have met someone interesting. So, I glided on the asphalt to reach my destination. For some reason I touched my right boob, and it fell off. Right. I managed to recover it, but at that point it was no longer a boob, but a very large yellow balloon and I couldn’t even push it under the shirt to begin with. Well, whatever, silly balloon boob. I just let it fly away and kept going where I was going. The boob grew back in place as I was flying, so that weird amazon feeling didn’t last too long.
I reached this hole in the road that was more or less shaped like a vagina, with the inner part being rock walls. The walls were six or seven meters tall. They looked fake, like they were made in papier-mache. Other than just looking fake they were also purple, so well, I guess it was more than an impression. Perched on the wall there was a man who began to give me chase as soon as he noticed my presence. I thought he was going to rape me or something like that.I began climbing the wall with him following me. In the beginning he didn’t really have any recognizable facial features except of looking sort of like a Gligar, but as he kept trying to catch me he gained more and more details until I realized who he was.
Daevion.
The walls and the hole disappeared and we were now standing on the road. He said something, but I wasn’t listening because I was too amazed by the fact he was actually there and that, if everything would have gone well, I would have had my chance to spend some time with him. I mean, it was like meeting that actor you’re obsessed with on your way home. Except that Daevion is imaginary, so it’s not like I will ever be able to see him when awake.
“I told you I would have been back, didn’t I?” He said, smiling “I realize how incredible all of this must be for you right now, and I don’t want to kill the moment, but always keep in mind that everything in this dream is a product of your imagination. Me included. So, anything could happen from here now”.
“Don’t go. Not this soon”.
“Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere for a while”.
Then Alice appeared. Yes, the one from Alice in Wonderland. The fact that I’ve seen the movie very recently may have something to do with that, but still. She said she fell into my head and had to slay several monsters created by my imagination to get out, and she needed help. Daevion and I agreed to help. The first monster was found near a sea, so we began walking.
During the journey, Alice turned out to be pretty talkative and seemed to get along with Daevion. I lacked her verve, so I felt kind of left out and a bit jealous, although it was nice only listening to Daevion talk because he had such a deep, soothing voice. After a while we reached a shack by the sea, and we got in to ask for food before the battle. Inside the shack there were a lot of people eating together around a large wooden table, among which the Mad Hatter, a baby and Sheila. I went straight to the Mad Hatter and whispered to him in the ear to please flirt with Alice or something of the sorts because I didn’t want her to interact with Daevion in my place, and he was glad to help. Anyway, we sit at the table and talk and such. Sheila, who in this dream was a mercenary (she was wearing an army uniform, which looked rather nice on her), offered to give her help for Alice’s quest.
After that, the Hatter brought everybody to have some fun at the Stairs Waterfalls. These were a set of yellow stairs as tall as a building with each step being tall like a person with water flowing from the top. The baby fell down the stairs, but no one seemed to care. Everyone had fun playing on these huge steps in the water.
In the end, Alice, Sheila, Daevion and I went to the shore to fight the first monster. A huge half-mecha octopus rose from the green sea into the red sky. Alice was terrified by it, she said I had a sick imagination or something like that. I must say, I actually liked that thing, it had all those steel tentacles and looked pretty badass. Daevion told me to remember that, in the same way I created this thing, we could also destroy it with my help, but did I want to destroy something that I thought to be so awesome? Even though I didn’t really want to I ended up agreeing, so Sheila called some buddies on helicopters and everyone took down the mecha octopus. After the battle, I remember pointing to a huge moon that appeared in the sky and Daevion said that it was the least I could do, leaving me puzzled.
So, everyone went to do whatever they pleased, so Daevion brought me to a beautiful balcony with these white cubes where to sit on and a white city underneath it. We finally began to talk.
“The only one missing in this dream is Hydride, it seems” I said to break the ice.
“Maybe he’s the final boss”.
“It would fit with him, true”. Awkward silence. “There is something I wanted to ask you”.
“Let’s hear”.
“I was wondering how you feel knowing to be my creation…if the treatment I give you is fair. It’s something that has been bothering me for a while now”.
“I am part of your mind”, he answered, “and as such, I feel flattered that among your many creations you hold me in such a special place. You don’t have to worry about me, your worries are enough on their own”.
“So you don’t feel treated like a toy?”.
“Do I look unhappy about this right now? You don’t have to worry. You already have enough problems with other people, so I want for you to always feel at your ease with me, as a part of yourself. Solving your own problems is not going to be easy, but at least you can fall back on your imaginary world - and on me. But don’t forget to live in the real world just because I’m here”.
I hugged him so tight and his hair felt like feathers. Then he pointed at the sky: there were several giant full moons. “See? This is what you’re capable of doing!”. He stood up, grabbed me by the ankles and lifted me above his head spinning and laughing, which terrified me because my head was now at about four meters from the ground and it was too much - yet he kept laughing,lifting me even higher. I began to scream, then I fainted from the fear. During that time, I wasn’t really completely unconscious; it was more like when you’re about to fall asleep and you see pictures behind your eyelids. I feared I was about to wake up, so I screamed his name on the top of my lungs, so loud I thought I had screamed outside of the dream and that people had heard me.
When I got back, Daevion was still there. “Why, welcome back! I thought you were actually going to wake up. Glad to see you’re still here”. We began to walk, then something hit me on the back of the head and I fell unconscious.
I woke up in a bunker. There was a female furry character with her fur completely black, the head of a bear and eyes and mouth which were actually holes filled with ropes of slime. She had a machine gun, and commanded me to move on. Then her mate arrived - it was a young man with a gracile body, dirty, shoulder-length brown hair and a very pointy nose. “You look cute” I said “It’s weird that I created you to be like this”. He then turned over, looked at the girl and they both cursed, saying they got the wrong person. So they let me go out, where Daevion was waiting for me. But I felt my time was over, so I said him goodbye and thanked him for everything.
Tomorrow I’m going to draw the scenarios and characters I saw in this dream to fix them forever.
