Description "I've been having a reoccurring dream.  The redundancy, although frequent, has left me without a pure memory of those moments.  I do, however, recall the taste of coin in my mouth.  My body felt frail, weak, nothing but thin skin stretched over bone.  My fur was shameful. The air around me was tearing at my body so maddeningly I lost all sense of hearing.  How loud it was, how incredibly loud.  I've never heard such pitch that drowned out my own voice, not even the harsh winters of my homeland brought on such deafness.  Though it did not cause pain to my ears, it caused everything to become but a blur.  No amount of focus gave me relief.  This was not all that amounted to this instance.  My chest was full of dull throbbing.  The Eclipse was with me still.  Always with me.  Always there.  There in that loud place of air and the old taste of blood in my throat. It clung around me as it had been all this time.  As this all was surrounding me, I was moving backwards; moving away from something for reasons I cannot figure when awake.  I was not in total control, no, there was another presence within me.  Possession, a mad spirit, a thousand names this force is called.  Then everything stopped.  The air was still, the loud wailing ceased.  Then it came again, harder, a screeching mad thing with so many voices.  They curled around my being in spirals.  My lungs collapsed and my mouth bled, my heart clenched itself and froze, my eyes hurt from such blinding white so shut them tight without relief.  My body gave way and I fell there, I fell and stayed still.  I was surrounded by my own red because I could smell its pungency, that old metal I would never get used to.   At that instant the siren of voices stalled and it was quiet.  It was so quiet I could hear my breath as it returned to me.  My eyes opened and there was a faint distant figure and it came nearer...and I could breath well and the Eclipse hid itself deep and became dormant.  A hand reached towards me and I allowed it across my body.  Warm, warm I've not found anywhere for so long.  It was you, you and your papers and folders and pens without caps.  I saw your smile and you said some words I could not understand, I did not need to understand; you were there.  Your presence was enough to drive it all away.  So I closed my eyes again not out of pain, but for an eternal rest.  The rest I've been afraid of, that has haunted me since I came into its grasp.  Everything was then okay.  I closed my eyes and did not open them again."

Just read the story. Took me a minute to get over the visual of it all. This is almost creepy. The dream was very apocalyptica based. People hiding in corners and buildings. Black smoke and red haze fill the air. Flames from cars burning and trees on medians. You can hear people screaming and even some hovering about 6 feet in the air and exploding into a rain of blood and parts. I'm in a work trailor (Like the one's on work sites) with a few men. We're all huddled in the corner watching what's going on outside. You can see this thing at a distance (Honestly the only difference is mine was so covered in blood he looked black, he was much larger and the 'feathers' were spikes that he could make stand straight so to be used as a weapon.) I watch as this creature jumps and viciously rips apart his human victims. A smaller one is running around as well but looks much different from this. It is also clawing, biting and killing people trying to run away. The larger sees us thru the window and begins running, he slams into the side wall of the little work trailer we're in until the walls give way and the roof caves. We all get up and run and I can hear that someone didn't make it. Warm blood sprays up across the backs of my legs and arms. We run out and across to another little building. 2 of the men left turn to face the creature, but the only victory they get is for me. While he tears them apart I have time to get away, I wake up after he's killed the men and looks at me.

OH MY GOD. I had a dream not very long ago and this thing was in it! But he was bigger but other than that pretty identical! This is crazy!

I've always had lucid dreams, and enjoy them, but I learned long ago how to control nightmares and such....

Meditation helps.

My last lucid dream was bad that I took me, literally, 10 months to get over it!!!

it happened because a creppy pasta (my niece found out that I love playing pokemon so he though (dont know if I wrote well the word "think" in past) that I'll enjoy the creppy pasta (was about hypnos), it scared me so bad that that night I had a lucid dream about hypnos, it was so bad that 'till today I havent played a pokemon game for the fear to find a wild hypnos :S

Oh my gosh, that's horrible but hilarious at the same time. I always have a sense of when I'm dreaming, so they don't bother me too bad, but they sure can be freaky in the moment. (and yes, that is the correct use of "thought").

Kurai's not a Feonix, but an 'Arch', he just wears lots of feathers.tatchit.deviantart.com/art/Kur…   I don't blame anyone for mistaking him as a Feonix though.  :')
