The Bear (Dream #16).

           First, I was at the grocery store with my mom. I really wanted something from Cinnabon so she told me to pick something and she would buy it. There were many Cinnabon flavored products like coffee creamer, ice cream, cinnamon rolls, and so on. Despite having such a selection of products, I was unable to make a decision before we left the store so I got nothing.
          Next, there was an odd place at a park near a parking lot. It was outside, but inside. It was a room, minus one wall. From the outside, the walls were blank. On the inside, there were two doors on the walls, one on the left wall and one on the right wall. The door on the left was a portal to somewhere else. I'm not sure where because I didn't go through the door, but there were a few people coming and going. The door on the right was another portal that led to a room with a bear. I say it was a portal because it led to another room, but from the outside, there was no room there. At first, I saw someone else go into the room. There were with a little boy. The bear was a pale gray-brown with long, mangled, dirty hair. Its eyes were big and red and its teeth were so long that they poked out of its mouth. From a previous dream, I knew this bear was unique. If you poked this bear, it would kill you. No matter how far away you got or how safe you thought you were, the bear would find you and maul you to death. Although I knew this, the woman I was watching did not. The woman, wearing a red flannel shirt and a net hat, poked the bear, then ran away. The little boy ran behind her. The bear chased the woman, not at all interested in the boy. It had the look in its eyes where it was out for blood and it was foaming at the mouth. The woman and little boy fled to the parking lot, where they got in a school bus and closed the doors. The boy sat in one of the front rows and the woman sat in the driver's seat. They stole the school bus and sped out of the parking lot. The bear stopped chasing them halfway out of the parking lot. I didn't see it happen, but I knew that eventually, that bear mauled that woman to death.
          Next, I went into the room on the right with a Russian man and another man. The bear was resting on a pile of hay in the far corner, completely uninterested in us because we had done nothing to it. The small room was all concrete with no windows. There was a large mirror on the wall directly to the left of the door. Under the mirror, next to the bear, was a wooden table. The bear and table collectively took up the majority of the room. On the table was a gopher and a bingo board. I had known this bear before, but I had never known of the gopher. My goal in this room was to save the people of my group by completing the trials of the gopher. One moment I was looking around the room and the next I was being held down on the table by my throat by a Russian man. His face was expressionless. The gopher stood over my face and held the bingo board above my eyes until I started seeing things. I was sucked into a series of dreams within my dream. The other person just stood by, watching the bear. Each square of the bingo board was a mental challenge I had to face in my mind in my dream. In some, I was a combatant in an arena. In others, I would solve puzzles. In others, I watched people I love die. It wasn't like a normal bingo board where I had to get five in a row, I had to complete all but three squares. The two people who entered the room with me were just there to make sure that I didn't act out the mental challenges with my body, or I might have hurt the people around me or myself. When I finally completed the trials, the Russian man let me up and we all left the room together. I had grown weak from exerting myself. Outside of the room, in the parking lot beyond a row of large rocks, a crowd had gathered. They cheered when we emerged. I fell to the ground, so exhausted that I thought I was going to die. I started to drift off to sleep until a new surge of enegry brought me back to my feet and I was ready for a whole new set of trials.

Water Elemental (Dream #15).

     I was a water elemental human, meaning that I had superhuman abilities but only when touching the water. A man accompanied me at all times because my powers made me a sort of royalty, especially because I was backed by the leading political party in power of the country in which I lived. Early on, I was playing with some remote control cars that had been gifted to my brother and me from the queen/ woman in the highest position of the government. It all seemed good and fun until one of the toys accidentally broke. Part of the toy had broken off, revealing a GPS sticker that was a shiny holographic color. I broke the second remote control car intentionally to see if it had the same GPS sticker, and it did. I came to find that many of our gifts from the queen did. My own conclusion from this was that my fellow elementals were not actually supported by the queen, but attempting to be controlled by her. We would be difficult adversaries if we were to fight for the anarchists instead. My brother, a fire elemental human, disagreed. He insisted the queen loved us and would never do such a thing. He saw no ulterior motive behind anything she had done.
      I went for a walk to clear my head. The sky outside was bright blue with a few stray, white clouds high in the atmosphere. Compared to the darkness of the indoors, the outside world seemed very reassuring. With the man that always accompanied me, I walked on a sunbleached stone brick path through grassy fields. Occasionally there were arches along the pathway made from the same sun faded stone bricks. The man who accompanied me seemed unremarkable. He never spoke, only watched. Whenever I try to think of his face, a variety comes to mind, but none of them seem to be the one. The path occasionally came to points of interest where the stone path formed circles or semi-circles and you could view something like a tower or a waterfall. I stopped to look at an interesting point of interest. It was something like a waterfall made from tiered birdbaths. People rode the water as if it were a waterslide, even children. Looking over the edge the first time, I grasped tightly to the metal fence rooted in the ground. The fall to the first tier seemed to be large, intimidating, and there was a breeze directing you towards it that would make you lose your footing and fall right in. It was the kind of thing that looked like it would hurt you, but really couldn't.
     Another man appeared in a suit and sunglasses. He was one of the only people that actually spoke to me. He dared me to go down the water slide and then come back up. It was clear that no ordinary person could come back up, but I accepted his challenge. As I approached it the second time what had appeared to be a deadly fall morphed in my field of view to be almost nothing. The breeze I had felt before disappeared. I rode on the top layer of the water down the odd waterslide. I fell into each tier of the bird baths, then surfaced and flowed with the water down into the next tier. Between each tier, as I approached the bottom, the distance grew smaller and smaller until the final two tiers were only a leg's width apart. Eventually, the water flowed into nothing. It stopped somewhere but the water was never stagnant. I had made it safely to the bottom as I thought I had seen many others do. Though, when I got to the bottom, the people I had seen from the top were not there and I was all alone. I started to climb back up, doing so by stepping on the rims of each tier of the bird baths. This was easy at first because the tiers were close together, but the farther I went, the farther apart the tiers were. This is when I used my water elemental powers. As I ran back up the bird bath waterfall, my legs grew longer with each step, so that every rim was a leg's width apart no matter the distance.
     When I got to the top, I smiled at the man who had given me the challenge, pleased with myself for having completed it. The challenge-giver was standing next to the man who always accompanied me. The challenge-giver did not smile but instead pulled a gun. Several other men, dressed in the same black suits and dark glasses, appeared through the arches and pulled guns too. I fled before anything could be said by any of us.
(small note: no one ever steps on the grass in this world.)
     As I fled these men and they constantly pursued me, I found my elemental powers developing further and more prominently. Once, the men in suits had me cornered against some boulders on the side of a stream. Luckily for me, I was standing in the water and therefore able to use my powers. Faced with the possibility of death in the moment, I developed a new ability. I turned my entire body into water and flowed downstream, right past the pursuers. As I flowed past them in the form of water, they shot at the water, but to no avail. What use of bullets in water? Later I was able to turn right back into a person.
     I flowed downstream to an area that was dark, gloomy, and seemingly abandoned. The sky was a light gray, purple color, and overcast.  I walked from the creek to an old rundown railway station. Although I had assumed it to be abandoned, I discovered it was not when I was kidnapped by its inhabitants. I was taken to the leader of the inhabitants, I giant white fuzzy caterpillar that wore a fedora and smoked a pipe. His wife was a black fuzzy caterpillar and apparently, they had marriage issues.  I quickly learned that this group of people worked neither for the queen nor the men in black suits, but were a group of smugglers of drug dealers. They lived in rusted out rail cars that were still operational enough to transport goods without anyone knowing.
   Although I was never actually caught by the men in the black suits I would like to make a note of who they were. I'm sure they were anarchists. I knew this because it was getting around election time in the country again. I was a prominent figure in the public eye and people still believed I was in favor of the queen. No one knew about my newfound opposition. Also, no one in the queen's employ was permitted to wear black.

Magic Rings (Dream #14.)

         I went to an area of my grandma's  house that only exists in my dreams, and not just this dream specifically. It was a hallway on the second floor with about four rooms branching off of it. From previous dreams, I know that one of those rooms is a closet and another is an office. In this dream, I discovered a new room that seems to be a storage room. I looked through the cabinets and found three rings belong to my great grandmother that interested me. They all had the same ornate silver bands, but the gemstones were different. One was green, one was blue, and the last was pink. I wore them all at the same time.
      When I put the ring on, a new world seemed to open up before my eyes. There were spirits and monsters living and walking in the same world as us. The rings glowed and I became aware that each of the rings were endowed with different abilities. The green ring could control the movement of Earth and rocks. The blue ring could control lasers. The lasers were generated from some tower in the distance and the ring was used only to control and direct the lasers, not generate them. The pink ring generated shields that could protect me from both magical and physical attacks from spirits. I think that this realm had existed the for a very long time. The reason normal people couldn't see it is because there were also evil spirits in this realm and to be able to see them meant that they could do you harm. Normal people would have no defense for the attacks of the spirits, but because the rings gave me special abilities I was now able to defend myself from the evil spirits that I may see.
      One spirit seemed to stand out in particular. As soon as I saw the new world within ours, it was the first one I saw and it saw me too. Its skin was pitch black and it had no features. It had no face, no hair, no nails, no clothes, and you couldn't tell if it was male or female just by looking at it. However, with the new abilities also came a new feeling of intuition. I could just tell that the spirit was a woman. This spirit faced me for a moment before launching itself at me and attacking me. Naturally, I had to fight back, so I tried to use the abilities that the rings gave me. This spirit was strong, and she seemed to have the exact same abilities that the rings gave me, with the same strength.
    The battle raged on, us matching each other blow for blow. She would direct a high- powered laser and I would use a shield. She would throw a boulder at me and I would throw one back, meeting hers halfway. Finally, I was able to tackle her and pin her to the ground. I knew what I had to do to end the fight. I would have to split her in half with the laser, but there was a problem with that. I was on top of her, so I would have to split myself in half as well because I was in the path of the laser.
      For the first time, I heard this spirit speak. She bet me that I wasn't brave enough or strong enough to do it, somehow already knowing the plan that I was thinking. She was wrong. I directed the laser through myself and the spirit, cutting us both in half longways. It was odd, the laser didn't actually hurt at all and neither of us were dead. We lay on the ground for a moment, recovering, before we both got up a minute later completely fine. The fight was now over and the spirit didn't try to attack me anymore. I felt that I knew the spirit better and the spirit knew me better. I think I passed some kind of test that the spirit has made for me. It may have been a test to see if I was worthy of having the rings and using the abilities they were endowed with.It would see if I was worthy to know about and be able to see this new realm.
