Fan Fiction ❯ Dark Dreams ❯ Chapter 2

“Hey Blare. Woah you look like shit.” said Caporia while staring at her friend.

“Fuck you. I don’t need this shit this early in the morning.”

“What the fuck is your problem?”

“Nothing.”

“No I will not accept that answer. You do not bite my head off for ‘nothing’. So what is it?”

“I had that fucked up dream again and im getting pissed off that it wont stop. I shouldn’t have taken it out on you. Sorry.”

“No problem. Did you ever try controlling the dream?”

“No. Explain.”

“Well there are procedures that will let you control your dreams.”

“Such as.”

“Well there are lucid dreams. Lucid dreams are dreams that you control because you know that you are asleep. Well for that all you have to do is during the day ask yourself ‘is this a dream/ am I dreaming?’ even though you know that you aren’t dreaming. You get used to asking it that when your in your dream you’ll ask it and realize that your dreaming and will be able to control what you do in it. Then there is the theory that if you give yourself something to dream about before you go to sleep then you’ll dream of that.”

“I think I’ll try that. What harm can it do?”

“Hey do you mind if I watch? Im planing on going to college to study psychology and this would be the perfect chance to observe you to see if these theories are true.”

“Well you can spend the night at my house. My roommate already knows about the nightmares and I don’t want to freak your mom out when I start screaming in the middle of the night.”

“Ok. I’ll be there around five.”

“Ok. Gurr. That’s the bell. I so don’t feel like going to class today.”

“I know how you feel. I didn’t study for any of my tests. Im going to fail.”

“Ok class you will have forty minutes to complete............”

“Is this a dream? Am I dreaming? God I hope not ‘cause this is boring.”

“Amara! Amara!” Blare shouted while looking for her.

“Hey no need to yell some of us don’t have sleeping problems. Now you made me sad. I’ll never get that dream back, and it was a good one too. Hugh Jackman just asked me to marry him and I was just about to say yes when all of a sudden I hear ‘Amara! Amara!’ and I know it wasn’t Hugh Jackman because he doesn’t have a girls voice and we weren’t doing anything but talking so it couldn’t be him screaming my name and that’s when it hit me. Im awake. So what is it that was so important that it couldn’t wait until after my honeymoon?”

“Caporia is spending the night. We’re going to try to treat my nightmare through psychology.”

“Oh that reminds me. I was going through some of my spell books and I found a few dream spells if you want we can try some of them.”

“Ok that’s great. Don’t go back to sleep.”

“Sure like I can top that dream. Your lucky that im your friend any other person would have beaten you within an inch of your life and dumped the body in a dumpster.’

“Yea and I am internally grateful that you don’t do that to me.”

“Ok everyone grab a bead. Good. Now we have to concentrate our energies on the beads. Visualize a barrier surrounding the bead. Good now when you are done put the bead in the pillow case under the pillow.” Amara instructed Blare and Caporia.

“So how do you know all of this” Caporia asked.

“When I was younger I got into magick and dream spells come with the territory.” Amara explained. “The barriers should hold unless something more powerful is causing Blares nightmares.”

“Oh, but what if it gets through the barriers, will we be able to help her?” Caporia asked.

“We should, but when dealing with magick nothing is for certain. It might not even be a person casting a spell. It could be a number of things, an incubus, a past life, or even a repressed emotion or memory that she forgot until now. Any of it’s a possibility. But after tonight we should know what it is and how to take steps to prevent it.” Amara answered.

“See told you if anyone can help us its Amara. She knows her shit.” Blare said to Caporia.

“Alright now lets see as we go to sleep I’ll need Caporia to think of a rock tunnel. As long as your touching Blare while you do that I should be a tunnel to her dreams. Blare I need to think of being at the end of the tunnel to great us. Caporia the tunnel usually scares a lot of new comers to dream magick don’t be scared for you will be alone in it and nothing can harm you. Got it.” Amara asked after explaining what had to be done.

“Yea I think I got it.” Caporia answered.

“Good well there’s no time like the present. Lets get started. Caporia sleep on Blares left side make sure you keep contact with her if you don’t you can be ripped from the dream.” Amara said.
