I entered the dream as someone who had befriended the evil guy... and he taught me some of his secrets. One of his secrets [influenced by the newer Spiderman game for Xbox, which had just been released] was that, if you ducked into a shadow [any shadow, as long as you were completely in it] you became invisible... but, more than that... you had to concentrate and completely clear your mind to do it... and then, not only would you be invisible... but you would become transparent. So, when someone tried to open a drawer behind me, it [and they] passed right through me.

At one part of the dream, we went down to his lair where there was a small underground lake. You could see all the way to the bottom [which was supposedly miles deep though it didn't look like it] and it was a couple hundred yards wide. The cavern itself was very dark but, as you looked into the lake, it was as if you were looking down from a plane on a sunny desert landscape. It was bright and yellow and... like an entire different world... only... covered with water.

He had people chained in the cavern... prisoners. He'd take one, stick them on a machine, a blade would swipe them crookedly in half [from just above the left elbow to the bottom of the right ribs]. Sometimes he'd use a long sword instead... it kept switching. The person would still be alive as he'd throw the torso into the water to drown.

I watched him kill two or three people when suddenly the dream jumped and I had been sliced in two. I was in shock as he threw me into the water. I grabbed a deep breath as I went under... and I remember the people above telling me to just breathe the water and it would all be over. Somehow the current got under me and pushed me up against the wall and I gasped for air as my face breached the surface... and then I was sinking again. With no arms or legs, I knew I would die soon and, as I sank and the surface became farther and farther away... and my air began to run out... I knew it was the end. I breathed in a deep lung full of water... and another... and the world started to black out... I was dying.

Then, everything cleared. There was no sound... no movement. My eyes were open but all I could see was a solid black. Suddenly, a screen turned on... like I was seeing a futuristic computer system start-up in my head. Someone was selecting different menus and running different programs and all I could do was remain there, unable to move or speak.

...and then I woke up.
