Violent waves crash ashore; in this dream I cannot tell what is real anymore. I see a figure standing ten feet tall; the moon obstructed by a beastly maw. Murmuring questions with a sleepy tongue; answers haunted me in grim return. Lobotomizing the entirety of my mind, the feral creature only spoke with shapes and rhyme. Poised before me was a legendary hunter. A ghastly dire-beast, who could tear the world asunder. Sporting a melancholic expression; he opens the sealed mouth with a deadly suggestion. His gums bleeding from pale infection. Sourcing the problem I ache with poor digestion. Unable to sniff out sustenance, his own life-force is leading him astray. In this nightmare; guilt turns night to day. Lost in the dark the hunter cannot pray. Mustering the strength, I mend his pain. Reaching into the gnarly abyss;   pulling out something of a shame. Rapturing open wounds; I am fearful of blame. Crying with a grisly howl. I am becoming apart of the beast; and the hunter becomes infused within. A ritual complete. The fabric of reality dissipates as the moon weeps. I rejoice with newly kindled vigor as I exit this plane of existence. Exalted I am, now I rest my troubled mind. May this prolific dream endure all of time.

Violent waves crash ashore; in this dream I cannot tell what is real anymore. I see a figure standing ten feet tall; the moon obstructed by a beastly maw. Murmuring questions with a sleepy tongue; answers haunted me in grim return. Lobotomizing the entirety of my mind, the feral creature only spoke with shapes and rhyme. Poised before me was a legendary hunter. A ghastly dire-beast, who could tear the world asunder. Sporting a melancholic expression; he opens the sealed mouth with a deadly suggestion. His gums bleeding from pale infection. Sourcing the problem I ache with poor digestion. Unable to sniff out sustenance, his own life-force is leading him astray. In this nightmare; guilt turns night to day. Lost in the dark the hunter cannot pray. Mustering the strength, I mend his pain. Reaching into the gnarly abyss;   pulling out something of a shame. Rapturing open wounds; I am fearful of blame. Crying with a grisly howl. I am becoming apart of the beast; and the hunter becomes infused within. A ritual complete. The fabric of reality dissipates as the moon weeps. I rejoice with newly kindled vigor as I exit this plane of existence. Exalted I am, now I rest my troubled mind. May this prolific dream endure all of time.
