+ Old Japan +

Most of this dream has been forgotten but before I woke up this is what happned. I'm in the war museum in Ottawa (the new one) in the upper level only now it's a bookstore. I'm looking for a book but I don't remember which. I come to a section with very large books (two feet 'tall' and one foot 'wide' in most cases) and notice a book called "Old Japan." Thinking it's by David Clement-Davies, I pull it out. The front has a picture of a Japanese soldier from the chest up. He's on a boat, presumably a warship. The book isn't by Clement-Davies, instead it's "David King ______" (I don't remember the last part). In the dream I know his work but I can't recall any others...

+ Recurring Dream Explanation +

To read the (official) Journey Dreams, click 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 When the page opens please click the first square on the left... that will switch it to the idividual entry.

This is the same for every dream linked below!

Many of my dreams are connected to or part of a recurring dream series I have come to call The Journey. It is an ongoing story that revolves around three (two?) teenagers between the ages of 16 and 19 inclusive. The order I have placed them in my journal is not the order of occurrence in the Journey. Each event is just another piece of the puzzle though in the second dream I am younger than in the first and third and in the third I am older than in the first or second.

Despite the confusing settings and lack of (in some cases) awareness, the dream has intrigued me ever since I first had it. It is a part of almost every dream I have and the characters are not limited to just this series. Sometimes they appear in other forms, ages, lives... I am not sure if I believe in reincarnation, but that is subject to change.

There are three main characters... well, maybe; one character is not so definite as the others. First there is the dark-haired Asian girl. I first encountered her in the third dream but later remembered that she had been present in the first as well. She is logical and well-informed about our quest, often being the one to have a clear head in a difficult situation. I also know that she constantly keeps her emotions contained in order to lead in places where I cannot. This worries her companions quite a lot as she loses something precious to her at one point and must go on without time to mourn. (I am now thinking “but we have all lost something.”) This girl may or may not be my good friend Ann... the resemblance is uncanny though, both in personality and in appearance.

The next character is a dark-haired boy I have named Sullivan (I associate him with Syaoran from TRC when it comes to appearance, age and, in a way, personality). I do not have a clear picture of his face not do I know very much about him. He is mostly silent... though, in the third dream I may have actually been him. If that is the case then he's cautious, thoughtful and apprehensive. He stares at the sky a lot too (see first dream). I first 'met' him in an undated dream in which I was standing in my bathroom looking into the mirror. It was positioned so that I could easily see my bedroom door. Moving a little to see it better I suddenly notice him sitting up against my wall on the bed. "It's you!” I say. He replies with a smile, “It is.” I believe he has (or may have had) a romantic relationship with one of the female characters (or the female character, depending on whether or not the next character is real). From what I've gathered in the fourth dream, Sully is (or tries to be) supportive before our journey begins and slowly becomes more serious and quiet as we continue.

I am the most unpredictable character in the story. I’m not even sure if "this me" is actually in it! In the first dream I think I am myself. But in the second I appear to be a girl will curly dark brown hair (I call her Kite, because I just keep getting that name ehenever I try to think). In the third I may actually be acting from Sullivan's point of view. Because of my in-dream ability to see from the eyes of my companions it's very hard to tell whether I am actually there or not. In dreams, I'll call her Kite, just so that she can be identified as a seperate person (yet still me, in a way).

If you've read my story "Beyond Forgotten" you'll realize that I based both main characters on the two dream characters, Sullivan and Kite (in Beyond Forgotten Kite is known as Kes)... you'll see in-dream Ann (or Alice) in chapter seven (though, the character will only be meant to play the part, not resemble her at all)

There are also a few supporting characters; the "enemy" from the third dream as well as the nurses and the two children (never mentioned) from the second. The "enemy" (I cannot recall his appearance but I associate him with Dr. Drakken from Kim Possible... for no reason whatsoever. I really have no idea why...) The gadget he was working with is also hard to remember. The nurses are merely trying to help me, they seemed concerned (which made sense seeing as I had been pretty much frozen).

The settings are probably the most confusing... they are meant to be symbolic, not literal. In the dream entitled "The King of Mice" we are in my school but that is meant to be representation of whatever the actual quest means (perhaps even that dream itself does that too). In the first Journey dream, Sully and I stand in the backyard of my house in Stittsville and in the third we are on the second floor of my house. In the fourth, Sully and I are in my elemantray school's Gym. There are also a number of non-series dreams that have Sullivan, Ann, and I in various other locations.

Speaking of those other dreams, see "The King of Mice" (Sullivan), "The Same Sword?" (the sword from the third dream?), and Waking up in the Future (Sullivan). A few other dreams may have included the characters/objects from The Journey series but I'm not sure; "The Watercolour Camera" (Sullivan?), "Future Alien School" (?), "The Test" (Journey-series Ann), "Jenny the Busdriver" (Sarah from The King of Mice?).
