The Journals of Maynard Ray: Dream Casters

A dream, is a fabrication of the mind to decieve the dreamer of its reality. Reality is the state whereby elements of life are actually present.
Most times, the mind adopts too many fictitious elements that make dreams evidently unrealistic. But when dreams portray a substantial amount of reality and indistinct amounts of unreality, how then is an individual able to distinguish between what is real and what is unreal?

A dream caster is one who infuses one's mind with unrealistic elements which will seem very real to the individual. A victim of a dream caster's hoax falls into a deep state of unconsciousness, only to be broken if the dreamer is able to discern the path to their freedom which lies in the dream world.

Dream casters employ the use of magic, which as I have mentioned in my previous journal, is a manipulation of the powers of the dark. The process of casting the dream is called Oneirication (from the greek word 'Oneiro' meaning 'dream'). The process involves a predominance of scientific explicabilities. Firstly, the DMT of the targeted individual is acquired (DMT lies in the blood). Then, the dream caster summons a dream demon which 'scans' the essence of the blood and travels to the individual. The demon creates a link between the target and the dream caster. I also aforementioned in one of my previous journals that the creation of a link between two humans through a demon is termed daimosyndesmosis (from the Greek words 'daimos' meaning demon, and 'syndesmos' meaning link)

The demon fetches memories form the target's mind and sends tham to the dream caster's mind. The dream caster formulates a dream by piecing together memories, places, and elements that comprises the target's life experience and knowledge. 

The dream caster sends the fabricated world to the demon, which then places it in the dreamer's mind. The dream demon also secretly inhabits the dreamer's mind. The spell can only be broken through an exorcism, or by the dreamer defeating the demon in his dream. However, only people with powerful minds are able to defeat a dream demon in a dream world. People with even more powerful minds are impervious to oneirication.

Dream casters can be found in all countries of the world. They are however prevalent in the Caribbean regions, especially in Haiti, Barbados, Jamaica and Dominican Republic. Non-Caribbean countries with high populations of dream casters are India, Thailand, Ethiopia and Ghana.

Edward closed the journal and exclaimed, "Well then, I think we need an exorcist." He brushed his hair with his hands in despair as he stared at the sleeping lady.

"We are in the middle of the desert, where the hell would we find one?!" Allen felt frustrated; she was tired and annoyed at having to carry an unconscious woman - who she disliked - through the desert. She had thought of dumping her there and returning later on for a retrieval if any help was found. But that would be inhuman of her.

The Adventures of Maynard Ray

A crude excerpt from the novel I'm writing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"That is impossible."
"Dear boy, from what this world has revealed to me I no more think of the possibility of impossibility existing."

"Surely you do not affirm that folklore and fairytales have elements of truth in them?"
"Most are true."

"By Jove, you're mad!"
"If knowledge is madness then I refuse therapy."

"Professor Maynard I implore you to reconsider your statement."
"Why reconsider something rigid?"

"Perhaps you could make it more plausible."
"Plausibility is a subject which contexts itself in mere fabrications; my statement is no fabrication."

"You do realize that you would definitely face the gallows if this paper containing your statement is given to the court."
"I would rather die than live on a testimony without veracity."

"Professor Maynard please consider your reputaion in the scientific academia, consider the indelible dent which your name will suffer for many years."
"What is social reputaion compared to my vast knowledge of the unknown?"

"Consider your family."
"They can travel out of the country."

"Consider your professional achievements."
"They are but dust compared to my achievements in the realm of the supernatural."

"Very well Mr Maynard, you have obstinately made your decision, yet I will do well to intercede for you as best as I can."
"Boy, do what you may but I know that my death awaits me."

Inspector Charles took one last gaze at the old man. He never imagined that Professor Maynard Ray - a man who broke grounds in the scientific world, the owner of hundreds of patents - would be in this state.
