The downside to traveling is I enter the guild war late in the game.

Anyways, guys, I am seeing some STELLAR ideas here!! And now, for MY ideas.

The past three nights, I have dreamed of three things: the first night, somebody said to me “…if you are the New Mercy…”. The second, I was crushing scorpions under my feet (symbolic for defeating evil), and last night, I dreamed I had a new right hand (not sure what that represents, but I know the right hand is significant in the Bible a lot). I’m still trying to ask God what these dreams mean to me, because I have had visions before. But what if we did something like that? Visions are AMAZING. I know from experience. (One time I even saw Jesus Christ Himself standing in my bedroom!!!)

I know this would be hard to pull off right, but I think it could work!! I noticed some people are suggesting random dreams with lots of strange things thrown in and broken-up sequences mashed together. While I know that happens a lot in real life, I also believe we need to keep in mind the fact that we are trying to write something that is going to be pleasant to read. Stories need to have at least some form of flow, no matter what they are about. And I know that many of my own dreams, although sometimes random, also have some type of flow. (My Jesus vision began with a water slide in my closet.) So, what if we did a vision-type dream, with some seemingly random parts thrown in, but which also have symbolic significance? (New Mercy, scorpions, new right hand)

Some other examples of my dream experiences include: fighting demons, speaking in Tongues, praying over people I’ve never seen or met, experiencing past events I haven’t been through in real life (9/11), or experiencing things yet to happen. I even had a dream that went like this:

I heard a sound. It sounded as if a swarm of giant, very angry bumblebees was flying overhead. Suddenly, the noise was all around me, a thousand times louder. I looked and saw that I was in the sky, surrounded by a horde of fighter planes from WWII. They darted and dodged around each other, some firing their machine guns, others falling in clouds of black smoke. The sound of the airfight was deafening. Suddenly, everything disappeared, and I awoke in the dark of my bedroom, heart racing as I gasped for breath. What was that?? my heart cried in alarm. War, a deep voice answered in my spirit. War? I asked. Against who? The Enemy, came the answer. I knew then that I had seen a battle waged not in flesh and blood, but in spirit.

See? Seemingly random, but symbolic, and with a flow that is pleasant to read. What if we went with something like this?

If you need more examples, I got em!
