Dream Journal

After looking through some book stores, Rebecca and I are back at Oxford 2. I go to get some Guardians cards. There’s a deal where I can trade in a book or two for their value and I do. I end up with about 16 packs. Rebecca had some idea to get the packs wet and I started to do it, then asked “What?!”

Then we’re at the ocean. I’m sitting on the warm sand, opening some packs. The cards are cool beyond description, all ones I’ve never seen before, fun and powerful. These two boys (from the flying dream) are there asking questions about my cards. I like these kids. They look up to me. I see some other kids playing in the waves. One has built a wall of big stones, four across. Then a big wave comes in so far it catches me. I hold the cards above my head to protect them.

After getting some great demon cards, I appear underground in this corridor with Rebecca and some others. It’s lit by this immense lava flow in the room just beyond us. The lava flow is going crazy, flowing rapidly through the room. The sound is deafening and everything has a deep, flashing red tint.

Then someone brings me these two “special artist packs.” I’m thrilled as I look through demon and devil cards made by some wonderful artists. I become nervous about the lava and decide to see where the tunnel to the left goes. I run down it and there is a green haze. Further on it ends in a gate at this store’s basement.

The store’s owner is surprised and afraid at the sight of me. I explain where I came from but he doesn’t believe me. He comes with me to the gate and begins trying to trick me. His employees are running about trying to shut the gate on me but I run back into the tunnel anyways with some friends who are brave enough to help.

Rebecca, I, and a friend are now running through the tunnel on the other side. As we continue, it steadily brightens and ahead of us we see the mall across from Rainbow Foods. There’s fresh snow on the ground outside. Remembering my cards, I ask Rebecca where they are and she says I left them behind. I say “No! I couldn’t have! My dream skipped and there was only black there!” We go outside and see a purple-orange sun in the sky, looking so strange, and giving off this horrible sound. Power was failing and cars were sliding sideways towards us.

I wake up to the year’s first snow.
