I woke up to the sensation of hot breathe on my neck and a nail tracing my skull.
There was no-one there and I was in my bed. I knew I was dreaming still. The station was of Federation style but the lights were glowing a warm red, as if in warning.
I didn't feel threatened.
I drew my sheet around me and wondered from my bed to the comms screen but it was all static and hissing. My planets were on fire and my contacts list were all deceased... permanently.
I looked out to my ship but there was none there, so I turned towards the station concourse door.
It opened before me and I stepped on black sand and it seemed that the warm breathe of earlier may have been from this endless beach in front of me.
The sound of splashing waves was playing to a cacophony of wails and moans, and to my side I turned to see a sea - writhing and red; bloody tendrils trailed towards it from the tender warmth of the sand as it sloshed to and fro.
I felt no fear from this mass of writhing fluids and waded in near waist deep to feel the delicious liquid lap around my thighs. I could feel its heat close and tender, and I felt aroused.
But above me came the moans and wails from an endless black that stretched horizon to horizon. I could feel... fear? No. It was something between curiosity and in-trepidation. Great, endless power resonated from deep within this bottomless, bathophobic void. My heart beat quickened and I hesitated before reaching out to touch that sky.
And the sky-void reached back.
But here is the blood still and all the perfumes of Aridia will not sweeten this little rose GÖÑ

Interesting and vivid dream.
If it alarmed you perhaps try adjusting the environmental controls in your quarters.
I find my dreams are more frequent and lucid when the temperature is a little too hot.

Aha ! Dream interpretation. Well, that's quite a controversial field. Some people consider dreams to be prophetic and revelatory and so on, other people consider dreams to be your brain re-arranging memories while you sleep and things of that nature.
And other people consider dream interpretation to be complete bunk.
Out of academic interest though, have you ever dreamed about the following:
Flaming Skulls, that shout religious-sounding statements. Horned, winged, four-armed demon women. Being an asteroid that impacts upon an inhabited planet at several km/sec. Talking slaver hounds. Fighting Skeletons. Giant space cephalopods. Hatching from an egg inside the nest of a giant bird of prey. A sense of being watched, and turning round to make eye contact with an enormous lobster several hundred metres in length.

What few dreams I can remember tend to be either completely incomprehensible or involving megastructures populated by lifeforms whose organic and mechanical parts have so intertwined any distinction between the two is practically meaningless.

Mebrithiel's been in with some of the more, ah, rarefied members of the Group. Who really knows how she works at this point?
Still works, though.
It was worth it. All of it. Every single second.

Ms. Ju'wien has had a premonition of the Blood Age, but in her mind the Blood Age is not a union of the Red and Gold, that is, of the Sani Sabik and the Amarr, but of the Red and the Black, that is, of the Sani Sabik and Sansha's Nation. The black sky in her dream represents the Sansha Hive mind, which is a of course not only a place of torment for those assimilated into it but also a source of power to which Ms. Ju'wien is attracted and which is in turn attracted to her.
The beginning of the Blood Age will of course follow the apocalypse of the current Golden Age; hence in Ms. Ju'wien's dream is the destruction by fire of planets and the death of everyone on her contact list. She is also correct that in the Blood Age the very seas will be of blood and a pleasure to the Chosen. She is wrong, of course, that Sansha's Nation has any role to play in the Blood Age, and I pray that she turns from the Black toward the Gold. |

The Void is her own, and we are but mariners plying our trade amongst her tides and currents.

Well, for my Clan, the Void is a place with its own spirit. Like the Regolith. Or the Mountains or Plains or Steppes.

In ours, it's an element, like earth or water, associated with spirit, energy, creativity ... it's considered the "highest" element. It's also the hardest to describe properly. There's some of it in everything, though. |

As a follower of the Ida I find a lot of significance in dreams, they can provide a window into the workings of the unconscious mind which can be invaluable on the path of self-discovery.
There's definitely some interesting symbolism at work here. The red lights and warmth evoke a primal atmosphere reminiscent of the womb. You are in your captain's quarters, a place of sanctuary for us capsuleers and you mention that you felt safe there. Yet you are isolated. You have no ship, your contacts are all dead and the planets are on fire. There are no connections to the outside, this hints that you are deep within your own psychological framework exploring some aspect of your own psyche.
Next you come to a beach on great sea. Large bodies of water in dreams often represent one's emotions. You experience this sea as "writhing and red." This to me seems to suggest that there are some strong emotional currents at work. You also mention a trail of red leading into the water, like something was dragged in there and submerged, maybe a repressed memory or some buried thought that is agitating the waters? You don't seem disturbed by this though, in fact you seem to embrace it, become aroused by it.
You step into the water and then you experience an infinite void above you. Voids can represent the unknown, what this means for you largely depends on how you react to it. You are not afraid, which suggests that you are not adverse to taking risks. The power you feel from the void is your own personal potential, waiting for you beyond. You embrace it and it embraces you.
I hope this amateur dream analysis makes some sense.

Where I come from the void was traditionally seen as the womb from which all creation is born. The great and fertile mother for whose affection many suitors vie (the potent stars that give us light and make life possible). |

It's funny you should mention that. Not impacting so much as tumbling silently through the void, mathematically pre-destined to plunge into a thin, fragile biosphere somewhere down the line.
Fascinating. Were you able to identify the target of your celestial rampage ? Or was it just a vague feeling of ruining someone's day a long way in the future ?

I'm of the inclination that Meb's dreams subjects itself to its own intrepretation.
It could mean the following. However given over to the nature of Blood and it's ties to awaken passion I suspect it would be something far more primal.
Needless to say I have had similar dreams with similar outcomes. The call of Blood is more than some foolish notion of a "want". But a drive and thirst that should be sated.

Madam Ju'wien,
It would be best that you seek out a Priest and Therapist to talk too. A dream of this nature might mean both your mind and soul need help that only those 2 can provide.

Well hell, I'll share one. I had this one years ago and the essential imagery has always stuck with me.
+
The soil is black. Not merely dark or wet, but the matte black of carbon against which the healthy fecund green and yellow of living, wild grass is startlingly hyper-real.
And on the horizon? Clouds the shade of slate and limestone, bunched like a fist, grumbling like an old man. Ripe with rain and thunder, but far away for now.
I survey all of this from a narrow gravel road atop a wind-scoured moorland hill, sheltered slightly by a loose wall of stones stacked in place without mortar. I cannot remember where my journey started, nor where I am going.
Where the road forks I find a giant, a man made of mossy polished stone, buried to his waist beneath the limbs of a tree so wind-blasted that it has grown almost sideways. He reaches up into those branches to tend the huge wooden cart-wheels hung there...and ignores me.

Not quite as narratively intact as Mebrithiel's, perhaps, but as I said it's stuck with me.

I appreciate all the informed feedback on... this. I clearly do more than sleepwalk and murder in my nap-times. She's clearly rising in activity and i'm excited to see where this goes!
Not that kinda excited!
...well, mebbe...
Anyway....
I rather enjoyed that dream in a rather carnal way. There's something about surrounding yourself in a sea of blood that really gets you peaked! I have no clue what the dream is meant to mean, if it means anything at all. She's clearly taken an interest in it, as have you all!
Please do keep coming with the feedback. The fedo's already outta the bag, so we might as well make fun of it and I or she might even come up with more in the future!
In the meantime...

Just reading about this dream of yours Meb, has stirred things in me as well.
Sometimes dreadful, sometimes horrifying, and yet oddly carnal and I find myself seeking more.
Perhaps we need to find some time to hang out.
I do please keep posting these wondrous dreams of yours.
Perhaps I would do the same.
