Lord Embries

Posted by Mark | Filed under Life

I don’t fre­quently remem­ber my dreams and when I do remem­ber any of my dreams it’s usu­ally only a sin­gle scene with very lit­tle detail. This morn­ing when I woke up I had a cou­ple of scenes from the same dream still in my head and then more detail than I’m used to. So I fig­ured I’d share it with you. In part so I can remem­ber it, but also maybe it would make a decent start to some sort of RPG or some­thing. *grin*

Group of stu­dents, var­i­ous ages meet together out­side school build­ing, each is hold­ing some sort of per­sonal item, most are rack­ets of some sort. They con­cen­trate on the rack­ets, which glow, expand and then go over the own­ers’ heads and slide down. As the rack­ets go down, each student’s appear­ance changes becomes per­haps more ide­al­ized ver­sions of them­selves. Also the stu­dents now are stand­ing in a lush for­est area not in front of a school.

The stu­dents start rac­ing off into the for­est after one of them says some­thing I didn’t catch. The last 2 stu­dents to head off are the stu­dent I’m track­ing¹ (a very young boy) and a female stu­dent. When they crossed over to the Oth­er­side, she took on the appear­ance of almost a Greek god­dess and he aged/got taller/grew a bread/suddenly had dif­fer­ent clothes (maybe armor). He refers to the girl as “the Spi­der” when he asks what she’s plan­ning.  From the way the boy talks to her, I get the impres­sion that they are not exactly friends but he does like her (sort of a proto-crush per­haps). Her reply seems to indi­cate she knows a lit­tle about what the other stu­dents are up to, though it’s vague.

They take off after the other stu­dents but they don’t move like kids run­ning through a for­est but with far, far greater speed more like chee­tahs or leop­ards. When they catch up to the other stu­dents; all of them seem to be draw­ing more & more power to them­selves from the clear­ing where they’ve stopped. The boy I’m track­ing views this power they are draw­ing as some­thing dan­ger­ous, alien and/or pos­si­bly an enemy. He starts streak­ing away back to where they crossed over, mak­ing some sort of com­ment to “the Spi­der” as he does so. What­ever it was he said was suf­fi­cient to have her fol­low him away from this place.

Then the dream scene fades out. When it resumes the boy I’m track­ing has crossed back into the real world and is now sit­ting in a class­room. Where it becomes obvi­ous the boy has skipped a few grade lev­els. It’s also obvi­ous the teacher in this room is a pompous ass who won’t lis­ten to the boy and the boy is extremely agi­tated. It feels like the teacher is pick­ing on the boy, per­haps the teacher doesn’t appre­ci­ate hav­ing such a young/gifted stu­dent? The boy tries to explain what hap­pened in the Oth­er­side, but the teacher keeps cut­ting him off. Even­tu­ally the boy gets angry with the teacher and starts mak­ing threats. Still the teacher dis­misses the boys con­cerns and that’s when the boy start demand­ing the teacher let him go speak to Lord Embries².

When the teacher still dis­misses the boy’s con­cerns, he sim­ply walks out. He heads down the hall­way towards the office. He gets up to a counter/reception desk for the Gifted³ stu­dents. He just starts to demand to see Lord Embries with just a bit of expla­na­tion of why he wants this, when a another young stu­dent runs up and gives a note to the woman at the desk. The note is from the pompous ass of a teacher and is all about the boy act­ing up in class, being threat­en­ing and demand­ing he be punished.

And that’s all I can remem­ber from the dream now. Have a happy Friday!

¹ Fre­quently in the dreams I remem­ber, I don’t take part per­son­ally but sort of hover over the shoul­der of one of the dream char­ac­ters as they move about in their world. This is what I refer to as track­ing. Though occa­sion­ally I will also see things though the eyes of of a char­ac­ter but have the impres­sion that the dream char­ac­ter I see through is me.
² I get the impres­sion that Lord Embries is the founder/header of the school but also a feel­ing of him being a com­bi­na­tion of James Bond & Albus Dum­b­le­dore. That is car­ing, wise & pow­er­ful but also young, dash­ing & heroic.
³ Gifted in this case refers to the abil­ity to go to the Oth­er­side and not to just being smarter than any other kids of the same age.
