The words and cries projected by others echos.
It whispers ever so softly of empty tragedies.
Tragedy sets in like a cougar’s eyes set on it’s prey.
Predator hits. Heart stops. Pulse Shatters.
The flow within me comes to an immediate stop.
My veins thin out and come to a chill.
My mind races faster than a jammed free-way on Sundays.
I dig within a bottomless chest within my mind, seeking for the right gem.
The right gem. The right puzzle piece. The right answer.
None seem to fit. The shimmery colors sparkle among my vision.
The gems glow with endless possibilities… possibilities failed.
Its all due to a missing fit.
My ears are flooded with the sounds of the echos.
The final gem that I did not think to try was at the source.
The source of the shattering pulse. I hold it with my hand.
The gem glows and sparks with blinding golden light.
The light spreads within my soul like the roots of a tree.
It continues to grow beyond me, forever infinite past the shadows.

Within the depths of my subconscious, I flew through what appeared to be a castle-like place and swooped straight into a clearing, with a purple dragon on my left. It was twilight hours as the clouds covered everything in sight. In front of us, there was a gazebo, and a massive garden full of tall hedges, sacred plants/flowers, a patio, and jade green grass. As soon as well landed, there was a flash of red-blue light and we jumped out of the way. Soon there were other dragons that came down and started to attack us. We fly to the left and go above the garden into this safe area where everyone else was. It became apparent to me that we could all shape-shift because I myself and everyone around me could turn into dragons, humans, wolves, and just about anything that existed. The colors of this place were a of dark monochrome and this place again, appeared to be ‘castle-like’ with a whole civilization behind it. I myself and many others gathered up discussing for our next plan of attack. We were colored in red-black-purple colors, sometimes blue, and there were several leaders in front of us, holding an old tattered map. We had what appeared to be tattoos/body paint and charms on all of us. I wanted to go out and help, but I was told to maintain the fort and that I needed to stay behind, then I would be able to go when the few leaders get back. The male warriors, dressed with thin armor and paint, spread their wings, and you could hear them boast and brag ever so loudly on how ‘tough’ they were.
Being me, I managed to sneak by not too long after everyone who was assigned to go, left. At first, one of my dear friends who was slender, wore long scarves and had beautiful, long dark hair told me not to go, but I got my gear on and left. I overheard them and a few others telling me to ‘be careful’ as I hopped from the window out into the night. It was soon starting to reach morning, and there was a thick amount of fog around me. I recall being in front of a dojo, colored of black, red, and gold, with rows and rows of ancient dragon/animal statues around the front of these buildings. I heard shuffling around me and whispers, so I hid behind one of the statues. The ‘enemy’ side, colored with primarily blue, black, and bits of white and silver tried to strike at me. I struck back, causing them to fall on their back. They immediately jumped up and I ran between statues defending myself until I overheard some of my comrades saying, “Hey, what are you doing here? Alex you’re not supposed to be here!” The sound of the male warriors trailed off as they flew off, fighting off some of the enemy, up towards the 3rd floor of the dojo. I hung around the statues, waiting for them to come back. I heard more footsteps and saw a few men coming. One of them came up to me and started to speak to me softly and sweetly. (I’ll call him Familiar) Familiar was about 6 ft, had short, blond-brownish hair, Blue-green eyes, medium build, and he was so very kind. This man looked so familiar, and next thing I know, I was getting flashbacks of gold, bright colors. I myself and this man were talking to each other by this water-front, similar to the garden that was there. I could recall how much fun I myself, the man, and a few others had that day. We were a little bit younger than we are now, and this seemed to be before the tension between two sides.
The dream flashed forward, showing Familiar back home with his comrades and friends. The area in which he resided looked nearly identical to the one where I resided in, except for a few details like drapery of cool colors, and sharper cut stone walls (where my ‘kin’ resided had more white-silver like walls, royal colors, and more of an open view). Familiar was walking along a hallway, by a window into a tower-like room with what looked to be old-fashioned furniture. His comrades as well as some women bombarded him with multiple opinions whether he should come to get me, not trust me, kill me, leave me, or perhaps to run off with me to end this war. Familiar closest friend, dressed in red and blue paint and thin armor said ,”If I were you, I’d do what you want to do. Live in the moment! Not many of us, including myself have the courage to do so.” Familiar said, “Thank you”, and his friend wished him the best of luck. As his friend walked off, one of the women came by, grabbed his arm, and said,”Do what you love. Follow your heart.” With a determined look, he took off and a few of his friends followed behind him.
I had dreamed that I was in a relatively large room. It was meant for maybe an office, gaming/media room, and a living room. There were three massive widescreen TV’s in the room, all attached to the wall, almost touching the ceiling with a bit of a tilt inwards. There were no windows, and if there were, they were blacked out. There was also a large L-shaped desk with a couple computers with a stack of games, movies, and magazines, not to mention multiple gaming consoles on the floor, underneath the main TV. There were about 2-3 people in the room. One of them being me, and the other 2 being guys. Both were about the same size, but one had a slightly larger stature than the other one, as well as a difference in apparel, hair color, and overall energy. 
Oh so extravagant, yet so adamant;
There was a woman scientist with blonde hair, blue-green eyes, glasses, and a white lab coat and she looked at me saying, “Are those your dogs?” I said, “No, these aren’t my dogs. Wait I minute, I remember this particular one.” I was holding up a chubby, wrinkly tan colored pug with bright eyes. “His name is…. Rachet, I think. This was one of my ex-boyfriend’s dogs.” I held up a smaller, black, and older pug with my right arm, “And, this is Bonzai.” The scientist looked at me and said, “Do you know where he is and or his family?” I got an odd image of my head of a treehouse-jungle like society, one that I have seen in my dreams before, and saw my ex-boyfriend’s house. I looked at the scientist firmly and said, “I have got to get these dogs back, they don’t belong here.” The woman took this odd looking scanning machine and scanned both of the pugs with it. She gave me a serious look and said,”This dog has 43% cancer, it is fast progressing and he can have as little as 6 months to 3 to 4 years to live, are you sure you want to do this?” I looked at her and said yes. I gathered two darkly colored backpacks with gear and had one other person as well as a small pet dragon-like creature follow me. There was a crowd of people on both sides of me and some cheered and others stared. My dad hugged me and said, “Good luck.” One of my co-workers oddly pulled me aside and said, “Alex, I don’t think you should do this.” I said, “Well, someone has to do this.” He looked at me with sad, almost tearful eyes saying, “Wait! Stop! Don’t go!” and I went forward with these men that had a white limo waiting out front. The dragon pet, myself, and the other guy jumped forward and started flying in the air at high speed.
elementary school and childhood home. I recall it being very dark and oppressive. The vibrations were low and the colours were grayed and blacked out. I heard all kinds of voices including one that sounded similar to my mom’s voice. I recall being on the blacktop at school and found these eagle wings/feathers along with these beautiful beads, charms, and crystals that I was guided to collect. I still continued to collect
The home was surrounded by hills of green grass and trees with a variety of other buildings. There was a light bit of rain so I had to stay inside with the dogs. I myself and my family had a lot of dogs. I found that we had a plethora of dogs (even Zuzu the boxer). There was a few areas that these dogs stayed in. One of them involved a faux grassy area with white fencing around it by the front of the house. However, it seemed as though the fencing around the house was flawed for there was an undead corpse dragging towards my front door. I was getting ready to ‘fight’ or ‘flight’, when all of a sudden, 3 wiggly brindle boxer puppies jumped in front of me. As soon as the undead being appeared, it seemed appalled by the puppies and stumbled off. The dogs nudged for me to go inside and they went off to sleep with no trouble.
I recall following my boss to this enclosed area that had lots of lions in it. It was a circular cave like area with what appeared to be a floor that could be moved. He said he would be on the other side to feed them and that he wanted me to pull a lever when he gives me ‘the signal’. My boss whistled and I pulled down a lever. I watched as all of the lions scurried through a door into this organized feeding area that had slots for all of them to eat off of. Then the platform where the lions sat upon opened up into a clear pool of water, one of those you see at a zoo or at an animal sanctuary. There were two Grizzly bears that appeared out of no where and swam up from the bottom of the pool. One went to a ledge to the left and sat on it, while the other kept jumping up and down to try to get to me.
I was uneasy at first, but then the bear was acting playful. He was high-fiving my hands and playing with them. He jumped up higher and got my face wet, then he nibbled my fingers. The other bear had fish flying at her and she waved at me. The bear who jumped at me seemed almost dog like in a sense. My boss then got the bears to go off into a grassy clearing. Not long after we moved onto a fenced area where there were Llamas laying on these sack-like pillows and my boss started to give handfuls of feed to the livestock. He told me to be patient with the llamas. At first, I was testy with them, and they seemed testy with me, but then we warmed up to each other.
I recall looking among the Ranch like sanctuary, looking at the mountains, the trees, and the sunset. I absolutely loved it. I fell asleep in a barn-like home and looked amongst the stars as I fell asleep in the canopy. I woke up this morning, and was gliding down to a building that stored different supplies. It was foggy and cold. All of a sudden I heard a yell by a few girls that I did not recognize, and they needed my help with something. I followed them up towards a road (freeway like) and then into the lush, grassy hills where livestock and horses ran by me. I got onto one momentarily and eventually reached the ranch to this house. I overheard my boss talking to me about this Rooster that was a pain in the ass and kept trying to get away, Within the house there were bits of it that looked like a greenhouse with a bird-like cage. I entered this one castle-like room with a wooden edge that led to a window. I had visions of the rooster flying up, then turning into a Loplop, then a man-like creature, then flying out the window, onto a ledge, then flying away. I saw the ocean from the window and could see the beach and cliffs from down below. I saw my sister for a bit, and I was very confused, especially on how I was going to get the rooster back. After that I woke up.
