Dream #9
Date: June 28, 2012 7:00 AM (ish)
Characters: Leah, Petra
Scenes: 3
Scene 1:
The day was beautiful; the sweetness of the summer air was palpable and the gentleness of the breeze was dripping in the grass blades. Leah and Petra traveled with a tour group, each stop a new place to play. First stop, a pool large enough to accommodate everyone with room to spare. Leah plunged into the 5 foot, walking back to Petra. Leah wore a mask a grave disappointment, and Petra knew exactly why: she had wronged Leah recently; now it was time to own up. Leah demanded a wrestling match. Taken aback, Petra agreed. Since Petra's height was under the water level and Leah's was above it, Petra resorted to swim to and fro each side, but she tired and had to make a break for the chairs and tables. Rolling on her back with Leah standing overhead intending to pin her down, Petra grabbed Leah's ankle and pulled up, hard. Leah lost her balance and would have face planted if Petra hadn't pulled her back into balance. She showed Leah mercy, unable to injure her friend. Despite the rescue, they both knew the skirmish was not finished running its course.
Scene 2:
A bus ride later, the two found themselves at an open field with a complex playground nearby. Petra darted around people playing soccer on the field. Leah kept up, relieved when Petra turned to the playground. Petra shot up the platforms, through the tunnel to the high slide, but she noticed Leah had disappeared. Knowing Leah had used the shorter slide and was waiting to ambush, Petra backtracked and returned to the field. Running again to the playground, Leah was waiting to jump Petra and pin her. Petra ran around the lower platforms, using height to her advantage. She could much more easily maneuver under things. Running in circles, Leah asked Petra a question, why Petra said something earlier. Petra replied her communication often included symbolism.
Scene 3:
The match was at its close, though no one seemed to have won or lost, or even received injury. At a snack shack Leah and Petra parted ways: Leah back to her life in society, Petra to wander as a loner.

Too Awful for Words
Dream #8
Date: June 9, 2011 Morning
Characters: mom, dad, Rose, Grace, Julia, Cat
Scenes: 2
Scene 1:
Julia found her parents in an unarmed duel... to the death. It was nightfall, so they were adorned with clothing accented with lighted lines running the length of the body. Simultaneously, Cat and someone in her grade fought their own battle. Same clothing. Same parameters for the battle. When the duels began, the combatants were barely visible; soon only their lighted clothes could be seen. They battled on the school soccer field.
Next Day
Scene 2:
When morning came, Julia saw her dad stumbling over. She silently cried; if he was there then it must have been his victory. It was too much to bear. Julia walked around to the front of the school. She found her friends, Rose and Grace. While trying to figure out who lend comfort, Grace announce she had to leave. So Julia went to Rose, who tried to dodge the hug thinking it was a tackle. Julia managed to hold Rose in place, silently crying and shaking at this point. Rose recognized a problem afoot and asked what was the matter. Rose led Julia and the others around to a grassy place where Julia recounted the tragedy. Suddenly Julia jumped up, saying she was looking to see if Cat still dueled her foe. She found Cat tottering up to her, thinking the day couldn't get any better. Actually it did; Julia spotted her mom, alive and well. It was the best day yet. Julia embraced her mom and cried for joy.

Awkward! Scary Crazy! Trouble.
Dream #7
Date: April 6, 2011 Afternoon
Characters: Kimberly, Rose, Julia, teacher
Scenes: 2
Scene 1:
In the car on the way to school, Julia decided to use some of her "special abilities" and make herself seemingly vanish. Her body would pull a chameleon, assorting itself the colors and patterns of the background, though it was still semi-visible. There was one problem: her hair was not affected by the spell, so to those not mundane, there there appeared to be lone hair floating. Without the reversal spell, Julia had to hope for the best until she found someone who could correct the mess. So with troubles afoot, Julia got out of the car and headed into the school building.
Scene 2:
Leisure time! After classes finished for the day, students were permitted to do as they pleased, within the set guidelines. Julia and two friends, Kimberly and Rose, passed the time making conversation. They passed a teacher, who gave Julia a peculiar look of, "Who are you"? Thankfully nothing else happened. Julia talked to Kimberly for a while, since she could see her as normal. Julia turned to chat with Rose, and Rose had surprisingly taken out a wand of all things.
So Rose had known all along the game Julia played that day. With a tap of her wand, Rose put herself into the chameleon state; a second tap reversed the effects. Suddenly excited Rose could help, Julia wasted no time explaining her accident. Rose effortlessly fixed Julia, after attentively listening to her story. Overcome with gratitude, Julia thanked Rose and couldn't imagine how to repay her assistance.
