Network

My mom in my dreams is not at all surprised that I skip classes. She wasn't upset or mad when Vanessa and I showed up at her bookstore. But Vanessa needed her to translate something in Latin.

O Mater Luna, Regina nocis, adiuvo me nunc.

Later that night after Vanessa's date with Michael she calls me to go come sleepover at midnight. Which is okay with my mom...because she thinks I'm an alien so rules just kind of never applied to me. She found me on the side of the road near a crash and I only have two memories before Kendra found me. Memories of a crash and a fire.

Not fun when you dream about one of your best friends dying and then you immediately can't tell if it's real or not so you wake them up super early to check and make sure you're alive.

Her whole death is really suspicious and I really hope it was one big accident. Also doesn't help that then everyone graduated and left me behind. But in good news I bought a bar in the dreams because they fired my mother and I'm all about karma.

Almost wish that bar was here so I could give myself all the free tequila.

So spent my off day catching up with managing my businesses in GTA Online after my run. Normal for me between the run and my actual work out, Lace was hanging out with me and Rock. And then I came across something I'd never seen in any of the GTA games I've played before - a bulldozer just off in one of the lots. I had to go see if I could get in it and drive it - the answer is yes, I could - and then I figured out I could move the scoop in game. Pretty sure Lace got a kick out of my thoughts while I was trying to pick people up in the scoop just to see if I could.

Still ain't haven't found the little girl, Sofia, in the dreams. Went looking for her in the middle of the night, in the woods. Found some poor sap who opted out, hanged himself. Wasted an arrow to put him out of his misery. Wasn't even anything worth scavenging in his camp.

By morning, we moved on, heading up to the farm where Rick was with Carl. I went out again, looking for Sofia. Found a farmhouse, looks like she might have been there. I took a Cherokee Rose back to her mother and tried to give her hope, but fact is I'm not sure how much more hope I've got. I ain't giving up on that girl, but it's been three days now. Her chances ain't looking so good.

Woke up feeling like road kill. So that's fun.

My dreams just jumped ten years. Went from the end of high school to my ten year reunion. But at least I got a cowboy hat.

This whole network thing is weird. It's all about dreams. I have them, not that they are interesting. I got a role and it was run by people who turned into man-hungry snakes as in Anaconda snakes. I don't think that is what people are talking about.

I also might need a second job. Rent isn't cheap or free.

I forgot how exciting it is to open boxes packed for moving, and finding things you forgot you had.

I think the only good thing about this dream, was me kissing Jasper. Otherwise, everything else about it can go to hell. I'm really glad that my brothers are not like that here. That's one of the things that I look forward to when I wake up. The fact that neither of my brothers are dicks like they are in the dream world.

I'm going to go hug my brothers now. Especially when I know that neither of them like this bullshit either.

Also, finding cut off fingers is just ugh.

These dreams are like super intense. Last night, I dreamed about a Lacrosse game, and like. My best friend, the one who's now a werewolf, had no business trying to play even though he made first line, because anger and adrenaline seem to be a trigger for him to wolf out. He doesn't go full wolf, he gets the fangs and the claws and stuff, but. He tried to kill me, he like hunted me in the locker room and I sprayed him with the fire extinguisher to make him stop and he was himself again but he didn't even remember trying to kill me. And I didn't want him to play in the game, but of course he did and he scored the winning goal, but then he had to leave the field and we found the other half of the body we were looking for before, too. It was pretty damn eventful.

[Derek]
Are you having these dreams too? Cause if you are...we need to talk. And if you're not, forget I said anything. Because I know it sounds crazy, but you're in my dreams, and I'm not really sure you're a good guy in them. In fact, I'm pretty sure you're not.

After having my pod show up, I really wasn't surprised that I had more dreams last night.

My mom came for Thanksgiving dinner and of course it was interrupted by a portal, but nothing came out of it. What it actually did was rip the space time continuum apart, according to Winn according to my friend. On top of all of that there was an alien virus that I found out was created by real father to kill any non Kryptonians if we were attacked. Mon-El got affected, but it didn't kill him right away because his planet was very similar to Krypton. In the end my mother and Alex ended up curing him and according to my mother, she thinks he likes me. He kissed me before passing out then claimed me didn't remember, so I don't know what to think.

Then another portal opens, but this time Barry comes through with his friend Cisco, asking for my help! So of course I say yes right way. I go with Barry and Cisco to their Earth where they have a bunch of other heros assembled to help them fight these aliens that were invading. When we were working out the plan against them, I ended up being the training dummy since I was the invincible one and the others were either human or meta human. It was actually a lot of fun. Then everyone got mad at Barry cause of something he did to change time or something. Me and Oliver were the only ones who seemed to be on his side. A bunch of us ended up getting mind controlled by the aliens, but Barry ended up using me to destroy the machine that was mind controlling us and everything worked out in the end.

The funny part about the dreams was that when we were getting ready for Thanksgiving, I was using my heat vision to defrost the turkey. I use my heat vision to defrost things all the time! It's nice to see that my dream self does the same thing.

These dreams are no joke. Where's the pass option?

My dream life just never gets a break. This time, when the group of us was headed back to the highway, some chick rides up on a horse just in time to save Andrea from a walker, and she's looking for Lori, says Rick sent her because the kid's been shot. The boy, Carl. Not the girl we're looking for. So Lori goes off with her, and the rest of us head back to the highway. Group's split up now, and we gotta make a choice. Go to the farmhouse where the chick on the horse took Lori, or stay and keep looking for Sofia. Ain't no easy choice, and me? I'd rather stay and look for that little girl, but I think we're gonna go to the farmhouse a few miles away.

My real life isn't so high adrenaline. The restaurant is doing well, we're making a decent profit. But I got a couple positions I need filled. So. Yeah. Anybody's looking for employment in the restaurant business, I might have something for you.

Tomorrow is National Video Game Day. It might not seem like a big deal to some people, but I intern at a video game company, so tomorrow we're gonna be celebrating, which will be fun. Not that my job is super difficult or anything to begin with, but it's gonna be even more laid back tomorrow.

Oh my god! Alex is going to kill me! She is so not going to be happy when she gets home. My pod showed up. The pod I came to earth in, in my dreams. It's in our living room. I don't know what to do about this. This is not good. Crap! The dreams really needed to give me my pod? Why? I need to figure out what to do with this thing.

It's been a long time since I've been home. It's been a long weekend of moving my things into my new place. Take out and beer and I figured I'd check this thing out after someone mentioned it.

So, hey. I'm Owen.

[Vanessa]
This wasn't my idea. Remember that. That being said...I'll be out here for a bit. If you need anything feel free to give me a should.

In my dreams, I'm hell bent on finding the vigilante who I blame for Tommy's death. My anger is misplaced, it wasn't his fault. I am so mad at myself and everything else falling apart when Tommy died. Oliver left me once again.

The twist is with The Hood, who I'm obsessed with bringing to justice, I'm very....attracted to.


We have worked together in the past, we were a team for a bit, but now I need to find him to put him in jail. Yes, he broke a lot of laws, but not as a villain per say.

Had another cycle of dreams and I honestly feel like I'm starting to get whiplash or something. My life seems to have more twists than an M. Night Shyamalan movie. Only you know, it's my life so... Or dream life anyway. Either way, I'm feeling more than a bit overwhelmed. I don't even want to go to sleep, because who even knows what's next at this point!

My dreams have gotten a lot more...troubling. to say the least I'm not even sure how to start unpacking the things that have happened. I was just a kid

[OOC: References to sexual assault likely in comments]

I finally know who killed Lilly. I can't say...it was what I was expecting. And I'm not really sure I feel any better now that I know.

Happy 4th, everyone! It's the best holiday of the year!

I'm going to be taking Chris to the park today for a BBQ and to play some frisbee or catch or something. Anyone's welcome to show up, so long as you bring your own food.

As if dreaming about having a traitor in our group isn't enough, and having a teammate sacrifice themselves for you, wasn't enough...I had to get the two other scars on my leg from the loss of previous Garde.

It's a good thing the delivery guy can't see what's in the box. Otherwise he'd be judging me on the quantity of duct tape I just ordered for the garage. Somehow we're out of it already.

Hazel's cat just curled up and fell asleep on Ziggy's back and he's just looking at me in confusion. Like he's absolutely unsure about what to do with his little cousin deciding out of nowhere he's a bed. Either that or he's afraid of moving and disturbing her, I'm not really sure. My poor confused boy, either way.

So those Earth Giants are gone for good right? I hope so anyway. They were freaking Lace out even before she accidentally startled a couple.

No one panic about the fog, I'll take care of the fog.

Also if the elements all suddenly go crazy don't panic about that either everything will be fine.

commence both internal and external screaming

Yes, this sounds about right. I thought we were overdue for freakish weather.

Who do I contact if I woke up with a dragon in my room? She practically pounced on me when I woke up.

Edit/Update: Got her to sit still long enough to take a photo: Blazey

As if it wasn't bad enough we get snow every damn December. It's fucking June.

I bet it's not snowing up in Canada right now. This is bullshit.

Well my dreams just keep getting more and more insane as well as awkward. For one thing, Finn and Bellamy men are idiots; especially when they're teenagers. They really make the dumbest decisions. Other than that, we found out that on the Ark they're planning on killing 300 people to conserve oxygen so we need to let the Ark know that we're alive somehow. So that they'll know Earth is habitable. We end up shooting up rockets and hope that we're not too late.

The way these dreams are going, I'll be very surprised if we end up doing it in time. It's just hard to stay optimistic with these dreams.

Never been so glad that I held onto my old run down van. It’s made it a lot easier getting the stuff for Lace and Rock’s yard renovation easier. She makes it a little difficult to get orders just delivered out to the house so I’m pulling transport on my off days. She’s still loving exploring the yard and now that more of it is cleared she’s got more room to scare the shit out of squirrels. She’s not doing anything to them or even threatening them just walking towards them because she’s curious about what these things in our yard are.

Most kids serve their parents breakfast in bed or somethin' for Father's Day. Give em a cool gift or leave 'em be for the day to drink some cold ones and have some peace of mind.

My boy thought it'd be funny as hell to trick me into goin' to the mall an' do shit I'm pretty sure teenagers in the 90s did.

So last night, I dreamed my brother and I went to this little town because people were going missing in a lake. Authorities dredged the lake, and didn't find anything. We found the spirit of a kid who had been murdered 35 years earlier, and he was slowly trying to kill everyone the two who killed him cared about. We saved a young woman and her kid, but we couldn't save her father (who was one of the child murders all those years ago), and the other guy who killed the kid and his children were lost too.

Dream me has a lot of unresolved issues. With my parents, with my brother, with life in general.

I've been having more dreams. It's been a lot so I'm just now getting to talk about it. I don't even know how to start processing.

[JACE]

Did you know you're my brother already?

I don't know if I've joined the ranks of the dreamers ot what, but last night I dreamed about a different place. I lived in Oz.

I lived in a little shack, and across the way there was a house built into the mountain, and that's where my best friend lived, only he wasn't allowed outside. Whenever Mombi would go into town, Tip would throw rocks at my window and I'd come over and try to find a way to get him out of the house.

It felt very real. It still feels very real. I don't know what to make of it.

Dreams can go to hell. I don't like waking up feeling like I'm falling or that I can't breathe. Though, the not breathing comes in the shape of waking up in a damn spacesuit. To hell with that. Though, I guess it's safe to say I got that stupid 130 year old escape pod working. Dream me is just afraid of what they're going to do to Abby over the whole ordeal.

Also, whoever this Nygel person is in my dreams, she's a real bitch.

John, Sam, and I are now wanted terrorist due fighting with the aliens who were trying to kidnap us. The News left out that part all together. Right, try to save the world and labeled the bad guy. Sorry I don't want Earth to end up like Lorien in my dreams.


[CJ and V]

I hope I'm allowed a dog.

Bernie Kosar was in my bed when I woke up....


He's a great Chimæra dog, if I can't keep him. I can see if Nine will take him.

So, I dreamed about getting bitten by a spider which feels like it should be totally unremarkable but considering I broke my alarm clock this morning feels like maybe it's not?

[Peggy & Steve]
I maybe also crushed the handle on the bathroom door. I'm really sorry, I don't know what happened. I haven't touched anything else with my hands and have done everything with my elbows as much as possible.

I know I’ve read about getting dream tokens and stuff. But still weird to wake up and find one. What’s the strangest one’s some have you got?

[Sam Winchester]

I’ve got something you’ll want to take a look at.

I really should have expected this to happen at some point with the way my dreams were heading. We’ve decided to come up with codenames for our group and I finally get why Gert named her Old Lace - some old movie that she took her own codename of Arsenic from. I think it’s kind of bullshit that I didn’t get to pick mine but it’s not going to be that hard to get used to it in the dreams. It’s the same one coach gave me first year - Talkback.

I just realized we’re through draft season for this fall. Holy shit. When did I get to a point where I didn’t worry about that anymore?

Okay.

Guess I was admitted to the weird dream club. We should get pins or tee shirts, just saying.

I was on some placed called the Isle of the Lost which was not a great place to be apparently. I was hiding because the Auradonian kids weren't supposed to know I was there or something. One minute we were at Dr. Facilier's Vodoo shop and then poof. Wished into a genie lamp.

She was not at all happy about people popping in.

Hey, I'm Clary. I just moved here. I've got to ask though...are vivid dreams, I mean like really vivid normal? It almost felt real, if that makes sense. Don't mind me, I probably sound crazy.

Six months. Nearly six months I go without dreams or noticing anything fucking weird happening, and then D had to go and start using this stupid Network again and now there are fucking space teddy bears running all over the place.

I should have known better.

I think getting my blaster this morning was a sign. BB-8 and I are going out there. Gotta try to take down some of these Stormtroopers. They're starting to hassle the neighbors and I just can't let that happen. Anyone wanna come join me, I'm gonna make my way towards Navy base in Seal Beach.

So I called it - getting Molly out was just the start of our trouble. Me and my friends in the Dreams were heading to the police with the evidence against our parents which is when we found out our parents were framing us for the murder they’d comitted. Nice right? Assholes. So instead of going to the police we have to go into hiding. I know just the place thanks to the bullshit my parents put me through - there’s this old mansion that got eaten up by an earthquake and is still sound enough for us to use as our hideout. It’s not the fanciest place but it’s safe.

Well safeish because it’s still an old abandoned mansion that’s semi underground. And has a pretty cool radiation sign outside of it that I bought when I first discovered the place. I woke up to it in the living room here so I think I’m going to spend my time today figuring out where on the fenceline around the house to put it up.

So, this is where all the cool kids hang out these days, huh? I can't believe I let Leroy talk me into making one of these things. So, hi? I guess. My name is Nova, and I'll be starting at USC in the fall.

Honestly, this whole 'online journal' thing seems a bit like a waste of time. Why do you guys do it?

If I ever run into my friends from the Dreams first thing I’m going to do is teach Karolina how to hit people. She needs to hit harder so that they stay down longer. Another dream tonight - this one we were still at Molly’s, gathered up in her room trying to make a plan of attack and then Karolina’s mom shows up and starts attacking us again. Only this time instead of targeting me she goes after our friend Gert.

All I got to say is thank God for Molly. She picked right then to cue us all in to her powers, pretty sure herself included, and get us out of there. She’s got crazy super strength and her eyes glow when she uses it so I’m pretty sure that means she’s a mutant in our Dreams. So now our team consists of 2 nerds, a goth witch, an alien, a mutant, a raptor, and a jock (me). I got a sneaking feeling that getting Molly out of her murderous parents reach is just the beginning of more trouble for all of us.

You’d think that the Dreams would cut me a break with everything going on but nope. I got dropped into one almost as soon as I closed my eyes tonight. I was back outside Molly’s house. Or...still outside Molly’s house? I’m not exactly sure what the right words are for it but anyway. In the Dream Karolina and I were waiting outside for some signal when her mom showed up and...Karolina isn’t the only one with rainbow powers in her family as we found out the hard way when her mom tied me up using nothing but the light she shoots out of her hands. I’m pretty much useless until Karolina knocks her mom out in the fight and then the binds just...disappear and we decide to head on into the house and see what the hell is taking so long.

Our parents are all unconscious on the floor and we make our way upstairs to find Molly and everybody else in her bedroom. So I guess our mission was a success? Or at least I hope it was since that was the moment Rock decided to start bumping into the stairs and wake me up.

Finally found something Lace can't hold her own against - whatever the hell these damn soldiers are. Anybody got a free hand to help me bandage up a raptor?

I’m slightly ashamed to say that I binged Netflix’s “The Circle.”

I got a bit too invested in the ratings/blocking. All the catfishes needed to leave, though. I get why they would lie but that’s too much. I would completely question the validity of their honesty.

Maybe I’ll audition for the next season.
