Dream Story: The Nightmare
Convincing the Public

Convincing the Public

In another neighborhood, there were three apartment buildings. They were grouped together at southwest area of a street intersection. The street was as less busy than usual. People could be seen walking to and from various locations.

On the southeast and northwest areas of the intersection laid deep forest. It revealed that the area was surrounded within a park. On the southwest part of the intersection was a convenience area for people. The convenience area contained a grocery store, stores that sell common items and a few fast food restaurants.

Near one of the windows of the apartment, it revealed the living room of an apartment room. Inside the apartment room, it looked like a tidy place as if was recently cleaned. Despite that, the place had outworn and obsolete things. There was a TV that appeared to be made in the 90’s. The sofas appeared so worn out that there were stain marks and rips. The carpet was full of dust as if it wasn’t dust cleaned in years.

There were pictures of a younger Shawn on the cabinet top. The pictures alone showed that the apartment room belonged to Shawn and his parents. In the sofa area; Kathleen, Shawn, Martin and Bellamy were sitting on the worn-out sofas. They had refreshments that Shawn had provided them. The refreshments were cookies and tea.

The Dream Club Members and Bellamy had their eyes closed. Kathleen, Shawn and Martin had their Awakening Books out. Martin’s Awakening Book was sending information into the books of Kathleen and Shawn. Kathleen, Shawn and Bellamy experienced what Martin had to show them. Once they opened their eyes, a look of worry was on their faces.

Bellamy: “I didn’t realize that it was that serious… The world is in greater danger than I thought… I wish the people would be open-minded to my warnings… Now, the Impure Members could arrive here to begin a Worldly Awakening… I thank you for providing to me all that you know about your dream experiences. With what I’ve learned, I believe that you are meant to help to stop the Impure Order Threat…”

Shawn: “We thank you for giving us information. We understand that you and your members had similar visions like us. The ITH you formed was meant to save Humanity…”

Bellamy: “Since we had the month to learn about each other, I believe we should work together to save the world from the Dark Ages to come. Are you ready to join the ITH? With your help, I feel that we can help Humanity see that my and ITH's words were real.”

Martin, Kathleen and Shawn looked at each other for a moment. Eventually, Kathleen started smiling at Bellamy.

Kathleen: “I will love to join. By working together with your members, we could help warn enough people in time.”

Shawn: “I will join too because of spiritual reasons… After what I witnessed from the Conversion Device, I want to prevent others from experiencing the same fate.”

Martin: “I will join as well.” He looked away for a moment appearing to hide his true feelings on the matter.

Bellamy: “That’s good to know. I wish your friends are here so I could join them into this following too. With what you showed me, they are where they need to be to stop the Impure Members in the Dream Existence. I wonder if one day, you can teach the ITH how to go into that existence. It seems like a great place to explore the physical world in a different way.”

Martin: “It’s too risky… If you were to go to the Dream Existence, you won’t have control over which place you will wake up in. You might wake up in the Impure City where the Impure Troops will kidnap you. It happened to Mally and Penelope before…”

Bellamy: “Then we will just wait until the Golden Ages arrive. We can commit to ending up in that existence till then. For now, our place is in the physical world. When the Dark Ages happen, we have to help to bring about a better world. The more members we gain, the more we can achieve this. It might even help us to give resistance to the Impure Members if they arrive here. We have to make sure that the physical world doesn’t fall under their control.”

Kathleen: “Let’s hope the ITH is strong enough to resist against an army of Impure Members. I know the ITH aren’t fighters. If you could convince people in the military, it might keep the Impure Members at bay.”

Bellamy: “That is the plan if the people in government support the ITH… We can showcase what you have to the world. This perhaps could be the last chance Humanity has to save themselves. Let’s go to where my members will be at. They would be at a community center. I would introduce yourselves to them. It is there we can begin our work.”

In another part of the city, there was a mall where people go to for shopping and dining purposes. The mall had the necessary restaurants, a few shopping centers and a small park for people to hang out. Next to the mall, there was a community center where the majority of young people go to for community fun.

Inside the community center, there was the front area where many people enter or exit the building. In that area, there was an entrance to the pool area where people swim and play water sports. Far down another hallway, there were meeting rooms for people to engage in their group matters in private. Some of the walls had postings for community fairs and social events.

There were people around socializing with each other. There were a few people bringing in their families while others their friends. Among the people walking about and standing around, Bellamy with the Dream Club Members could be seen walking into the center. Bellamy was leading the way.

Bellamy: “We can use one of the meeting rooms here. It is here you can meet my members in person.”

Bellamy led the Dream Club Members to where the meeting room areas were. Bellamy went into a room followed by the Dream Club Members. Inside the meeting room, they saw a group of three people happily socializing to themselves. They all turned their attention to Bellamy and the Dream Club Members.

Lisa: “Hi Bellamy. You finally made it. Who are those people with you? Are they new members?”

Bellamy: “Yes they are. I would like to introduce you to the Dream Club Members. They are dream explorers that had dream experiences of a higher plane of reality. They have showed me what they had experienced in their dreams. What they experienced in their dreams is connected to what’s going to happen to this world.”

Bellamy’s group looked on with wonder for a moment before giving off warm smiles. Bellamy looked at the Dream Club Members.

Bellamy: “Take a seat.”

The Dream Club Members and Bellamy sat on the chairs facing each other.

Lisa: “Hello Dream Club Members; my name is Lisa, his name is Ken and her name is Kim. We are one of the many members of the ITH. We serve as managers for this following. We welcome you to this group.”

Kathleen: “Thank you and I’m Kathleen, this is Shawn and he is Martin. There are supposed to be three more people with us that make up the Dream Club. Unfortunately, they aren’t here at this time… They are someplace far away working towards stopping the threat we could face in this world…”

Ken: “Let’s hope that one day, we can meet them in person. I would love to see them.”

Kathleen: “Tell us your story. How was it for you gaining members? Bellamy explained to us that it was hard for you.”

Lisa: “We tried helping them but it is impossible… People are just monsters now... The world I knew is no more... I had desires of graduating from University, getting married and having children... That will never happen now after what I learned... I can't see how anyone could have a normal life in a world of continual social and economic problems… It is lucky that we joined the ITH. We are now in safe hands thanks to Bellamy.”

Ken: “I agree... Some people are just despicable not knowing that the darkness is happening... Throughout my life, I lived as a man on the streets... Life never worked out for me the way I hoped... Grew up with highly abusive parents.... Can’t get a job... Not even have the chance to experience the pleasures the world could offer me. In my state of weakness; People spit at me, threw food at me... and even cuss me out... Such people will reap what they sown…”

Kim: “I welcome the change of the world too. I mean, the world is already in a bad place economically. The most powerful people hoard their wealth and the common folk like us struggle. Governments are corrupted and only focus on themselves instead of the most vulnerable. We struggle to pay taxes and bills... We have to live in a rat's race just trying to live decent lives... In reality, we were slaves of the system... We lived as pawns to be controlled by their whims... I'm glad a New Earth is coming now. Maybe it would finally be a place where people could learn to co-exist.”

Kathleen: “I feel sorry for your hardships but you have to forgive Humanity. They have lost their way. Maybe, it is up to us to bring them back to the light again.”

Lisa: “I think it is already too late for Humanity... The ITH are the only good bits of Humanity left... Humanity is slowly becoming demonic... Although I see them struggling in their own life hardships, they are growing into a corrupted race... The rest is too dark for me to say...”

Kathleen: “You can’t lose faith in Humanity. I believe they will recover from this and realize what they are doing to themselves.”

Bellamy: “I agree with Kathleen. We shouldn’t lose focus on what the ITH is about. We have to save as many people as we can before the Dark Ages arrive. After all, we might be the hope this world has left.”

Shawn: “I understand in the past that Bellamy and you had trouble convincing people to join. We have books that can reveal the dream experiences we had. We are hoping that this can help change the minds of people. Bellamy believes this and so do we.”

Bellamy: “It is true you know.”

Kim: “And where are your books? Can we see them?”

Martin: “If we show it to you, you will be amazed by it… Our book necklaces are our books. We summon our books from our necklaces. When one of our friends showed us this before, we were speechless… We thought that we were dreaming but it is real and somehow, our books can defy the laws of physics… If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you.”

Martin tapped his book pendant twice to summon out a book to amaze the group.

Lisa: “That… That’s amazing…”

Ken: “How can you do this? It’s just not physically possible, is it?”

Kim: “These people are sure talented…”

Bellamy: “These new members could be the turning point for our group. With them, maybe we can gain a large number of members for our cause. I was thinking that we should create a video message. It will deal with their discoveries of the Dream Existence. The Impure Order Threat they faced there. Also, to show what will happen if the Impure Members wake up to this existence. We can use the studio room in this place to create our video message. I booked an hour slot so we have to be quick about it.”

Her friends looked on appearing confused.

Kim: “Dream Existence? The Impure Order? Can you explain to us what this is about?”

Bellamy: “The Dream Club Members will share to you what they shared to me.”

Kathleen: “For us to share this to you, you need to close your eyes and relax. Our books will show you everything.”

Trusting the Dream Club Members but still appearing doubtful of Bellamy’s story, Bellamy’s members closed their eyes. Kathleen wrote something in her book causing her book to bring out information to Bellamy’s members. It was in the form of pink light that consumed them. Bellamy sat back watching her members in a trance. After a few seconds, her members opened their eyes appearing amazed by what they had witnessed.

Ken: “This is very scary what you had showed us… This could make sense why the creatures were spying on people in another existence…”

Kim: “I’m more worried about the threat of people in comas waking up corrupted… We have to warn enough people or they will become just like those victims...”

Lisa: “This gives me the drive to convince enough people. We will give Humanity one last chance. If they chose to ignore us again, they are on their own…”

Bellamy: “Since we understand the real threat of what we are dealing with, let’s get started with our work to warn as many people before it is too late.”

In another area within the community center, the ITH and the Dream Club Members were located in a studio room. Inside the studio room, the Dream Club Members observed their environment. The entire place had production equipment used for film production.

They saw a stage in front of them where they could express themselves to an audience. On the stage, there was a mic with large speakers on both ends of the stage. A flat screen television was mounted behind where the performer was meant to be. It was mainly used for presentation purposes. There were curtains that were wide opened to reveal the entire stage.

Between where the stage and the group of people were, there were tables and seats. They were used by people who came to see a performance or a presentation. Each table and seat was decently done by staff.

To their rights, there was a booth where people do voice-overs and make albums. At the back behind a window showed an area where people could adjust the music, do music editing and any other things that were involved in music production.

To their lefts, there was a small meeting room. Unlike the meeting rooms in the meeting room area of the center, the meeting room they saw contained entertainment. The entertainment was in the form of videogame consoles, arcade games, virtual reality gaming and other forms of gaming.

One of Bellamy’s members, Kim, was adjusting the camera.

Kim: “The camera is ready to go.”

Bellamy: “Okay, Let’s get onto the stage so we can create our message for the public.”

Bellamy and the Dream Club Members walked up onto the stage. Her members stood watch. Bellamy faces the Dream Club Members.

Bellamy: “Are you ready?”

Shawn looked on nervously.

Shawn: “Do we have to show ourselves to the public? I’m not one who likes to be seen by the public…”

Kathleen: “Try to think of it as a presentation.”

Shawn: “Okay… I’ll try… If Theodore was here, he would have looked at this as an opportunity to get famous…”

Martin: “I don’t like this any more than you do but we have to for this world’s sake.”

Kathleen: “We are ready Bellamy.”

Bellamy motioned for Kim to start filming.

Bellamy: “Hello people. My name is Bellamy. I came to you on a dire situation. Our world is descending into the Dark Ages. There will be wars, economic chaos and weather chaos. The world we are comfortable with now will end. Corruption and destruction will start to take its place in the world. By joining with the ITH, you can be freed from the chaos and darkness soon to happen to our world.

I understand that the majority of you don’t believe me. Most think that what I’m saying is non-factual. But I have evidence that will hopefully change your minds. New members of the ITH group are a group of dream explorers. They had witnessed terrible things that affect Humanity today. They would show you what they showed me.”

Bellamy stepped aside for Kathleen, Shawn and Martin to step forward.

Kathleen: “Hello people. We are members of the Dream Club. We had joined the ITH due to what we had experienced in our dreams. We will show you what we mean.”

The Dream Club Members slowly summoned their books from their book pendant forms. Afterwards, they started to open their books.

Kathleen: “Awakening Book, can you transfer what we had experienced so far in our dream experiences on television?”

The Dream Club Members and ITH Members looked on for a moment. Soon, they started to see an image pop out into view on the television above them. It showed the World of Transcendence. The Dream Club Members started their story.

Shawn: “It all started when we received a message by the Lady of the Light. She visited each of us separately where she showed us the Six Elements of Nature. These elements are the ocean, forests, caves, skies, mountains and deserts. Afterwards, we woke up back to the physical world to have a Dream Club Meeting. It is to discuss what we had discovered.”

Kathleen: “When we had a Dream Club Meeting, Theodore shared the experience first. We discovered from that moment that we all had the same vision. What was impressive what that we each had a book necklace around our necks. Mally showed us that we can summon out our books from our necklace forms. We thought we were dreaming but we realized that we are awake.”

Martin: “We decided as a group to go to sleep at the same time. This is so we could meet as a group in the same dream. But, it didn’t turn out that way for all of us… We each had different dream experiences but in the same existence. When we went to sleep, some of us ended up in the Earthbound Existence. It is an existence beyond the physical world that looks like the physical world. It is a place for spirits that have earthly attachments or that have darkness within them. Or we end up in the Dream Existence which is a higher reality than that of the Earthbound Existence. It is an existence that could be accessed through physical death. It can also be accessed through becoming lucid in your dreams.”

Kathleen: “Through our dream experiences, we were able to piece together what the Impure Order is planning to do with Humanity. Our friends would have been with us but are trapped in the Dream Existence. They can’t wake up into the physical world because the Impure Lord named Mansan prevented them. This is what we can show.”

Shawn: “The plan the Impure Order does. It sends troops known as the Impure Troops into the Earthbound Existence. In that existence, the Impure Troops prey on the people who have darkness within them, have problems in life or who embrace negativity. These troops were simply searching out for the right people. People who possess enough evilness and darkness that will serve their cause...”

Martin: “Once they find the right people, they target them when they go to sleep… The Impure Troops has a building named the Dream World Building. It is a place that contains peoples’ dreams. They use a machine named the Dream Machine to trap people in their dreams. For this reason, it prevents them from waking up. It also downloads information about the people and their dreams into Dream Boxes…”

Martin paused for a moment before speaking.

Martin: “The troops access peoples’ dreams in the Hallway of Dreams. It is a hallway full of many doors where each contains a person’s dream. The troops use these portals to kidnap people in their dreams. They then force people out of their dreams into the Dream Existence. This is why people are suffering comas. They can’t return unless they are brought back into their dreams. With the people the troops kidnapped, the troops escort them to the Conversion Room in the Impure Fortress…”

Shawn: “The Conversion Device is a dark machine used to convert people into impurity and corruption. It is what the Impure Order uses to turn people into Impure Members. The Impure Members are people that serve the darkness and the Impure Order. They place people they kidnapped into cells so they could convert those people later. After they convert their victims into Impure Members, they send them to a place for them to train.

Kathleen: “The Impure Members go to a dark forest called the Battle Forest. It is there the Impure Order trains people of their potentials. To let you know, we as Humans have great potential within us. It is known as the Human Potential. We grow this potential through life hardships and challenges. The Impure Order trains people brutally and inhumanely. This is to strengthen and grow their potential. They knew that if Humanity were to develop their full potential, they will have the power to influence the world and even the galaxy itself.”

Martin: “When the Impure Order is done training their Impure Members of their Human Potential, they send them back to the Dream World Building. The troops place the Impure Members back into their dreams where they were kidnapped from. It is there that the people wake up back into the physical world and out of their comas… The difference is that they are now evil and corrupted than they were before they went into a coma.”

Shawn: “We know that their plan is to take over all the government positions in the world. This is to begin the Dark Ages for this world. This is why we need to take Bellamy’s message seriously. We need to join the ITH while we can. With more members, we can work to help the world ascend out of the Dark Ages. We can bring forth the Golden Ages of peace and prosperity. We have to embrace less of materialism and more of spirituality. It is the only way we can save ourselves as a Human Race.”

Kim: “And that’s all.”

Bellamy and the Dream Club Members walked off from the stage appearing relieved.

Shawn: “Bellamy, do you think our message will reach enough people?”

Bellamy: “I hope so… I see this as the last chance for Humanity to choose the light. If they don’t, the Humanity we know would be no more.”

Kathleen: “We will keep on attracting new members in mostly any way possible. I want everyone to be safe. After what I saw, I don’t want anyone else to suffer or go through pain.”

Martin: “I agree with you… Life never was nice to me… Imagine how bad life would be in the Dark Ages? We have to do what we can to prevent that from happening.”

Bellamy: “Unfortunately, the Dark Ages can’t be stopped… It is evitable… The only thing we can do is to save as many people as we can. When I find out the results of our message, I’ll meet you at the park next week. The same one I once preached my message before.”

Kathleen: “Meet us in the forest near the soccer court. We’ll be there.”

In the park where Theodore and Shawn once hang out in, deep in the forest, the Dream Club Members were sitting on mats. They waited with great anticipation for the results of their message. The forest blocked out the daylight from reaching them. There were a few squirrels running about.

Soon, they heard the bushes move. They placed their attention to where the sound was coming from. Out of the bushes, they saw Bellamy emerging into their sights. Her facial expression showed that she was disappointed.

Shawn: “How were the results? Did people have a change of heart?”

Bellamy took in a breath before speaking to them.

Bellamy: “I have to say that the majority of people still didn’t believe in our message…”

Shawn: He became surprised. “What? Why?”

Bellamy: “I’ll show you the comments… It’s on my phone…”

Bellamy summoned out her phone. They huddled together to see the content on her phone. On her phone, they saw a website that was one of the many popular social platforms. They saw the video showing themselves revealing their message to the world. At the bottom of the video, they saw 0 likes which disappointed the Dream Club Members.

Martin: “Your video has 0 likes... At least you have 600000 views. It should show that our message is a success.”

Bellamy: “Look at the comments so you will know why I’m disappointed.”

The Dream Club Members started to look at the comments.

Man: “This has got to be the most hilarious story ever!! This ITH sure cracks me up!!”

Woman: “They must be using CGI effects or some advanced animation technique to manipulate their necklaces into books. We all know that this can never exist in the physical world. But one can dream…”

Man: “I have seen this woman back in the mall. She was preaching to the people to join the ITH. I always thought this woman is a nutcase but now, I feel that the ITH has lost touch with reality.”

Man: “I agree with some of their points. The world is going to go to the Dark Ages. With today’s problems of wasting natural resources, economic problems, wars and conflict; it is evitable that Humanity will doom themselves to extinction.”

Woman: “What a wild story. They should make this into a film or a book. This could be a great movie idea.”

Man: “The ITH are too obsessed with the end of the world. It is very unhealthy…”

Woman: “This is a lot better than some of the disaster movies I’ve seen… But still, just not something to take seriously…”

Woman: “That lady needs mental help...”

Man: “I think that the ITH are full of people who had difficult lives… They are just using this to give them a sense of purpose…”

Man: “The world will go to the dark ages but not as severe as they say.”

Woman: “I find their story to be unreal and imaginary. I think they are unintentionally entertaining us which is somewhat working.”

Man: “It is very rude of them to use coma victims to express their story. Do they have any shame?”

Man: “The ITH should stop this ridiculous following and start to get real lives…”

The Dream Club Members looked on appearing disappointed.

Bellamy: “As you can see, the majority of people find our message merely entertaining. They refuse to take it seriously. Some find our message insulting to the coma victims… Some are just plain rude to our message… They have seen what you had to show them but they still refuse to join the ITH… Only a few 321 members were willing to join us. That is some accomplishment.”

Kathleen: “I’m sorry that our message has yet to be seen by them as truth. You have to understand that they never had an experience of what we had. They lived their lives in the physical world. To have us say this to them will make them feel that we are crazy…”

Shawn: “That’s the problem when it comes to sharing spiritual truths to others. The majority of people aren’t strong believers of the paranormal and spirituality. We need to physically prove that would we are saying is the truth…”

Martin: “The only way we can prove it to people is when the Dark Ages come. At that moment, it would be too late for them.”

Bellamy: “This is not what I wanted people to go through but it is ultimately their choice… I understand that the only way people could change is through an experience. Maybe through the Dark Ages, people will change their minds and join the ITH.”

Kathleen: “How about we help them in a way that will make them want to join us. We have to prove the following things. The majority of the coma patients are victims by the Impure Order. That people who are taking positions of power are Impure Members of the Impure Order. The Impure Members will cause worldly chaos.”

Bellamy: “Then we have to investigate this together. We have find a way to prove our message is real to the public.”

Shawn: “If you don’t mind, I would like to study what the Moon, Planet, Star and Galaxy Symbols mean. It might help us in the Dark Ages to come.”

Martin: “When you are doing that, I will be meeting our friends time and again. It is so we can be updated with what is happening in the Dream Existence.”

They continued to socialize further on the situation they were facing. Back in the Dream Existence, Theodore was mediating in the forest. Inside of his mind, Theodore was floating around looking at blank space. Soon, his surroundings started to change to reveal the Impure City again. A look of interest was on his face.

Theodore: “Nice, I’ve used my powers to create a version of the Impure City in my mind… If everything is where they supposed to be like the real Impure City, I can learn what they are planning…I might be able to learn of any of their weaknesses here.”
