The Weird Competitive Vacation

Special note: This story is based on the mud dream I had on Mar 4, 2004^*. It is the best that I can recall it.

At the start of the best point in which I can recall the dream, I was with a group on a vacation-like event. In this dream, I had some special abilities I frequently mention, most commonly used is the flash attack. This special ability allows you to almost instantly gain 100 mph of speed in whatever direction you wish, even straight up or straight down. This area appears to take place underground in a cavern. Though I don't remember the beginning part much, but, about halfway into this dream, there were some major events I can recall quite well.

After getting annoyed over someone and that something else wasn't going right, I separated from the group initiating the flash attack. I ran along the ground "float-running"^** to save up energy and I came across a dark room or area. After stopping from the 100 mph I had, I saw some mean bullies. I saw a pool of water, so I just hopped in carefully. The bullies went by not noticing much. I stayed in the pool and relaxed a bit. I then got bored and wanted to look around the weird cave some more. Taking out my mind map^***, I looked for anything interesting. Two huge areas were noticable close by.

I got out of the water and dried off. I jumped up about 30 or so feet and used the flash attack again and raced toward those areas. Strangely enough, my group was in that area! I rejoined them and they were amazed on how I somehow could cause a bright flash from seemingly nothing. They went into the main competitors area. It looked unusually blank and empty. There were many staff members, however. I ran up to one and asked what this area is. They said it was some sort of competitive area.

Later on, I was with my group looking around this empty area and I found a curious little pile of rocks that didn't seem of the ordinary. I jumped up, used the flash attack to go straight up and got a view from over 450 feet high, near the ceiling of the big cave. As I reached 100 mph again, having less than 100 feet of height remaining, I caught someone over where what appeared to be a seesaw. Jumping once more and using the flash attack to go forward, I stopped by this weird seesaw. I noticed two peculiar browns that seemed to tell of a boundary. I saw another staff member come by a bit later on, and asked him what was with these odd browns. The staff member said that it was mud where the lighter browns were. The staff member also said that I shouldn't worry as it's almost like water and only 4 feet deep. I got onto the seesaw and walked slowly toward it. Because of the design of the seesaw, it wouldn't tilt any more than 20° from the perfectly horizontal position. Then, the staff member tried to assist me with understanding the mud. He, himself, actually walked right in and explained a bit about it. I was scared while "snaking" my way to the edge of the seesaw^††. Upon reaching the edge of the seesaw where it would go into the mud, the staff member said that the mud in the beginners area was much easier to deal with.

I got up, jumped, and used the flash attack heading straight for the other large area. This just happened to be the same exact room as the other one, but had many more in it. My group was over by an area of rocks similar to those in the "experts" area. I was walking along this area with my group, but slipped falling onto those rocks. My group also got pushed in by bullies and ended up where I was. To my surprise those rocks were starting to sink. Just before I got the chance to react and jump, I fell through falling into 4 feet of mud. This area also had a trap at the bottom. It was very hard to get out. Using an energy blast^‡†, the area of the mud vibrated so much that it became water for a short moment. I jumped and got out. My group barely made it out of this area. I sensed and found out what was causing the group to be stuck. There was a layer of gripping "stuff" that caused all movement in this area to be impossible. No one knew how that got in there. I then walked past those rocks, past two huge rocks which were separating "zones", and hopped into the mud area on the other side. This area was just as deep, but the sticky area wasn't there. I got out soon, jumped and used the flash attack to blast forward toward the "cleanup pool" [self-named]. This was where you washed off most of the mud.

Next, a race was about to start. This race was short and simple. You were to cross from the edge of this pool in the beginner's area to the opposite end of the expert's area. The race went by easy, just a simple jump and the flash attack was all that was needed to leave everyone seemingly miles behind. However, I underestimated the distance to the pool, and couldn't stop in time, falling into that water very oddly and hitting the wall at about an estimated 10 mph. [In my scripts, by this type of event, 2 popup numbers would appear, in this case, a zero for the wall and something for the character who ran into the wall.]. I won the race. A bigger race was going to be held for a prize.

Past this point in the story, I woke up so I was unable to actually see what would happen.

This is an image of a view of this area. Though it may seem small, if you were to look near the wall of the cave, you'll see those rocks mentioned about halfway into the story.

Footnotes:
* This is one of many strange mud dreams I've had. To read about them, read sections 1 and 2 here.
** Float-running has it's name tell everything. This is another special ability. It can only be used when you have at least 70 mph forward velocity. This ability has several major uses, the primary ones are these:

Drag is completely eliminated unless the density exceeds 1.4 atmospheres.
You can really push forward for a lot of speed, without any limitations except obstacles.
Run up and down walls, if there's an incline.
And best of all, it uses very little energy.
The big minus is having to stop. This can be quite difficult, especially if you're over 200 mph and cannot judge distances well.

^*** The mind map is something I actually have, but it's capabilities are very weak due to it's low level and my very low supply of spell power^†. This ability lets you track where you are at any given moment as well as where other objects are. My ability in this dream is much more powerful than what I really have. Here's a comparison:

	My real ability	Ability in this dream
Range	30 feet using 1800 spell power per hour	undetermined, likely a mile^*
Object location	30 feet using about 2400 SP per hour	Can determine if those are evil, good, or neutral at an uncertain range
Mapping	80 feet using 2000 SP per hour	Undetermined, no guess possible
Update rate	2 seconds using 800 additional SP per hour, or 5 seconds^**	about 15 or 20 times a second
Zoom	3 levels, all very close ups	Unknown, only one is used

Table footnotes:
* Because I didn't get to see the full potential, I can only guess.
** At my real ability's full potential, it would use nearly 3 spell power every second, meaning I can only use this ability for no more than 2 minutes.

^† Level and spell power [SP] are status terms. To learn more, Read this, or, if that's too detailed, read the summary instead.
^‡ The bright flash is caused from the physics and how the ability works. This ability, to give the boost of speed so quickly, has some interesting physics behind it. At the moment it is used, within a few microseconds, the atmosphere behind you becomes suddenly very compressed. This high pressure area and the low-pressure surrounding area creates a force that shoves you forward at a very powerful rate of acceleration, several thousand G's. It's this mega difference between the high and low pressure areas and how very close they are together that causes the very quick, very sudden burst of speed.
^†† "Snaking my way" means "crawling on your belly sliding in a given direction".
^‡† The energy blast is something never mentioned in my stories, but used often in my mind game^†‡. This sends out a visible shockwave, typically of 5/6 transparent 502090-colored light. This energy blast destroys things declared "evil" and does nothing to those neutral or good. It can also be used to cause miniature Earthquakes [casting quake spells is a far better energy-saver than using this, but the attack power of the energy blast is far higher than even quake36 and is effective best at close range^‡‡!].
^†‡ My mind game is my main source of replaying these dreams in high detail. It's also a very complex, but easy-to-use adventure simulator. Read all about it here.
^‡‡ Spells are ineffective, due to their nature, at short range, but very effective at long range. You can read more information about the quake spell series and all other spells here.
