The Destiny Dream Saga - Tumblr Posts

BL spoilers kinda but I gotta write down this dream I had before it goes away

Basically it started with two Exos named Secretary and E*something* (might’ve been emissary) who were trying to run from the Fallen in a crashed Ketch in the EDZ. They both died(?) but Sec stayed on coms for the rest of the dream, her death audio looping

I never saw what E looked like- they might’ve just been some random AI on the coms. Sec was a bright teal Exo with yellow eyes

Meanwhile, I was in the perspective of my Hunter, Bitrik, who was exploring the Ketch- it wasn’t like the EDZ we know today tho. It was like some subsidiary of it, like a sector in a national park (idk that’s how my dreambrain described it)

There was tons of Eliksni architecture as I made my way through the tunnels. Eventually it opened up to this kind of pit, lined with rounded metal and with a massive pillar in the center

Now that I think about it, the arena was built like that one lost sector on the Moon, but bigger and with more Eliksni architecture

And in the center on top of this turret-like structure was Eramis. Not like in the game though- she was bigger, more purple than blue, and had nightmarishly long forearms and claws. She was yelling in Eliksni, but my Ghost slowly translated it- “We rise and devour what we have lost” or something

The arena was filled with dead Dregs, and Brigs (although at the time I knew them as Walkers) watching from the alcoves of the ring. Eventually Eramis left and the Brigs attacked, shielded by a massive Servitor in the center.

Knowing full well that I couldn’t take THAT shit on, I jumped on my Sparrow and hauled ass outa there. Sec kept screaming in my headset while E talked about how the Eliksni came to build some kind of factory to make Exo-Eliksni hybrids...

Towards the end I saw Sec’s body, torn apart and left in a gory heap at the entrance to some Eliksni structure. E mourned the loss of their friend as I loaded my gun (don’t remember which one) and stepped into the building. There, the dream ended.

Dammit to hell I had another BL dream

This one was in the DSC in some kind of hub. It had Dreaming City-like architecture, but my dreambrain KNEW it was the Crypt.

Rings of terminals formed a white, multi-level spire. Each terminal was connected to the top of the spire by thin, white wisps of light. The terminals would move forward to hang over the edge when you approached them with a buff(?)

There was some kind of enemy there that I can’t remember. I think it was Taken-like, but also robotic. It fired green bursts of light at me (as I was in Bitrik’s body once again) as I carried glowing things to the terminals to ascend.

Once a terminal was extended, you would jump on top of it to reach the next ring and repeat the process, matching your object with the correct terminal lest they all extend and crush you.

I don’t remember if I ever made it to the top....

Yet another D2 dream... This time, it was Ahamkara-themed

I was tasked with purging the souls of the Queen’s old pet Ahamkaras, who were bound to jars(?) after they died in the Great Hunt

The jars were laid out in a circle in a massive atrium/arena and chained down

I opened one and this MASSIVE green wolf-like dragon came out and tried to eat me (I think it had some dumb name like Fluffy but I can’t remember)

I eventually beat it with my foolproof tactic of hiding behind a wall with a fusion rifle and jumping up a bit to fire (something I actually do in-game)

Once it was killed, I re-secured the chains on the now-cracked jar.

I got an “Activity Completed” prompt and instantly knew “oh shit I’m gonna have to come back here tomorrow and fight another dragon”

Another entry in the Destiny Dream Saga

First, the Tower. Appearance-wise, it seemed to be a mix of the D1 and D2 towers, although some aspects shifted based on position. For example, the large spire in the background of the Rahool picture wasn’t visible until I started talking to him.

Also note that I never played D1, so I have no idea how my dreambrain was able to accurately render it

That circle was Rahool’s position. Why did I mark him specifically? Well, for once, he was important.

He had an artifact to give me (I was Bitrik again). Something he had been holding on to for centuries, hiding for reasons he failed to mention. He was very animated in explaining how important it was to him- even to the point that he kept talking and moving when I closed out his vendor screen.

I also was able to pick up quests from him?? FotL stuff, Felwinter’s Lie, Izinagi’s Burden, etc... although the tabs mentioned that it’d be impossible to complete them since The Door™️ and the Black Armory Forges were inaccessible.

Anyways, as soon as I picked up the artifact, the world went pitch black. The ground turned into that squishy gold metal from Prophecy, and the area where Zavala would’ve stood became some kind of jumping puzzle.

Must’ve been somewhere in Unknown Space (the realm of the Nine), but it also had DSC jumping puzzle vibes

I had to shoot the confluxes in order to make the platforms appear, but they also started to form closing doors. I never got to the end- hell, even past the first set- because I kept failing and falling and dying. It wasn’t a pure Darkness zone, since I just respawned at the start, but the confluxes would reset every time

The whole time, a voice that was eerily similar to Riven was speaking, pretending to be my Ghost, Optic. I knew that they were an impostor because my “Ghost” was shooting the confluxes, and Ghosts can’t shoot things. The “Ghost” was talking about being disappointed in my performance, and mentioned something about the Leviathan, I think?

I don’t know what this was about...

I just had another Destiny prophecy dream… And oh Light, is this one a ride.

The whole time in this dream, I was a Sunbreaker Titan that looked like a very thin Shaxx with the Tangled Shore Hunter cloak

———

In this dream-universe, the Vault of Glass was a ring of floating Vex debris and shifting jungle above the Traveller, filled with alien life that died repeatedly because the area was so inhospitable. The Vex there studied death and time fuckery.

I remember one Fireteam member in that mission had the ability to pause time around them, and they used that REALLY well in the Vault itself. Parts of it shifted through time like the anomalies on Mars, flipping between Golden Age, Collapse, the Dark Age, and the current time- the City Age.

———

There was a version of the Enclave on Earth, accessed from a cave on a remote beach. Went in and found a spinning tablet that said go to the Moon.

Managed to get a lore expert on my Fireteam to investigate the Terran Enclave, and together, we ran to the depths of Luna. The first half of the adventure was Vex themed because that loadzone was for something else…

Found blue, glass-like Vex walls that disappeared when you looked at them. Weird… Navigated the corridors. The lore expert doubted me because the mission was in an area where I had an incomplete quest…

But we got to the end of that quest and fought a Lightbearing Taniks with a Burning Maul. For some reason, Taniks didn’t have any armor- so we were basically fighting a four-armed robot skeleton with a flaming mallet. Once we killed naked!Taniks, I got a Gravlance with a special skin and (I think?) a Patience In Time.

An in-game cutscene of the VoG boys and the Kentarch 3 played that showed they had met once and encountered Quria, dying horribly to the Blade Transform and being shot to their respective Vex lairs, from which the canon events played out.

———

After that, a Deepsight bridge appeared next to the boss platform, leading to an area that had the vibes of the tunnels in the Throneworld (icky and orange). It was a really cramped 3-person secret quest- that you accessed via another quest!

Basically I loaded into the Vex secret quest from patrol, beat it, and walked into the Hive quest from the Vex end loadzone without going to orbit!

———

There was a debuff throughout the main combat encounter called “Drowning in Darkness”- Basically you had to cycle between Fireteam members to kill a special Knight that gave the whole team immunity, but if you killed it, you couldn’t kill it again until a timer ran out.

In order to advance through the rooms, you had to enter this weird vacuum tube system made of flesh and fangs that spit you out in another chamber. You had to jump between three chambers to beat the encounter, killing the special Knight three times in each chamber in order to buy enough time for the debuff.

———

After the combat encounter, we ran through more tunnels, avoiding an illusory Shade of Oryx. A Shade of Savathûn confronted us in the final chamber, and tried to trap us with Hive runes. I deciphered them before they exploded, opened the mission end-chest, and cleared the activity.

———

The lore of the activity was about Savathûn’s actions as a trainee of Rhulk (the shade even had the spiky collar like him). It detailed the fall of the Scarlet Keep, and Savathûn’s use of the Taken.

———

Special highlights from the dream:

I talked vocally to the Terran Enclave’s weird spinny tablet thing and apologized for rushing it

The activity-end chests had to be shot in an order that Savathûn had shown for a split second (or deciphered from Hive runes, which is what I did)

At one point, my team just started shitposting about cheese? We were in a tunnel that reminded them of a cheese cellar and they just started screaming CHEESE as we were being chased by Thralls and exploding worms that burrowed up from the floor

The special Gravlance was from a Guardian Games quest that I managed to complete during the Taniks encounter by doing a shitload of damage to a boss without dying. The Patience In Time came from completing the Vex quest.

Another Destiny Dream… and this one was a nightmare

——

The dream focused around FotL and how the Cabal deal with the deaths of their warriors. I was a civvie tasked with working with a Psion to recover the bodies of Warbeasts across the system- Two from the Red Legion, two from Calus’ Loyalists, and one from Caital’s Ascendancy.

I can’t remember the name of the Psion, but it was something like Ifrit so that’s what I’m gonna call him.

——

The first body was the Ascendancy Warbeast, lost in a jungle on Venus. Ifrit and I had to track signs of it through the dense jungle, all the while recording what we saw for Caital to study later. I remember distinctly that I had to hold my video recorder in my bra for some reason lol

As we went through the jungle, it started to shift. The plants became tentacle-like and neon blue, the sky darkened, and I regularly lost sight of Ifrit. I stumbled upon a facility alone, sent Ifrit my coords, and went inside.

It was a fucking shitshow inside. Legionaire corpses and blood everywhere; sharp, blade-like shrapnel hanging from the ceiling; but no sign of the Warbeast. My connection to Ifrit started to fluctuate, as did my camera’s recording. This place was fucking haunted- ghosts with a lowercase “g” kind of haunted

——

I never did find the Warbeast, or reunite with Ifrit. I woke up in a cold sweat while being chased by some kind of Centurion-looking amalgamation of flesh and metal…

I had a dream about next season in Destiny… again

The Traveller shrunk down, collapsed into the tower, and exploded into some kind of energy orb. Most Guardians flocked to their moving god, swarming it as it descended.

However, that blast was of Pure Darkness™️, and almost all of the Guardians who were inside it were either corrupted or killed.

Zavala popped a bubble right before the wave engulfed him, protecting himself, Saint, and Ikora… but others weren’t so lucky

The Guardians consumed by this blast slowly went mad, donning their most dangerous and criminal garb- Thorns, Whispers, Malfeasances, Witherhoards, Osteostrigas, ToMs, and old Gambit Prime armor- and began to hunt down any survivors

The epicenter of the blast and the Darkness-infected Traveller within were soon called The (something that is synonymous with “subjugator” and starts with a T?? I can’t remember the exact word)

The dream followed the view of a civilian and her infant daughter, fleeing from the corrupted Guardians and trying to survive in the City. She still had faith that the Vanguard had survived and were working with The Guardian to fix the problem, so she stayed within the city walls

Once, she encountered a corrupted Hunter who tried to kill her, engulfed in Taken flames. He had cornered the civvie and her daughter in a bathroom stall in a church, but when he went to strike, the flames went out and he collapsed

I don’t remember much else after that

had a dream that there was some kind of Scorn area on Europa

Deep inside Riis-Reborn, there was a massive metal door-wall-thing made of burnt and twisted metal. Broken Servitors and various Scorn decorations were scattered about.

I remember having to ally with Eramis in order to clear out the Scorn, and was given some kind of Stasis mist cannon-launcher-thing to aid in doing so

Almost exactly two years ago, I had a dream that Banshee was allowed to say “fuck”

I am still in the firm standing that Banshee should be allowed to say “fuck”

Had another Destiny dream

I was running a Vex legend lost sector and all my weapons felt slow, weak, and sluggish. I also didn’t seem to have a time limit or a revive counter- or maybe I was just invincible since I can’t remember being afraid of damage much at all

My melee did like 1dmg per stab and at one point, I had pinned a Harpy down and bashed it into a thin piece of bronze but the game still didn’t let it die

People in stream chat kept telling me to boost my framerate in order to fix the damage output problem, but I was somehow sure that wouldn’t work and kept arguing with them

In one room, I got kicked for inactivity while holding on to a pillar and sniping a bunch of Fanatics, but the game realized “wait shit he wasn’t inactive” and loaded me back in with all my progress

Eventually I reached the end room, which was comprised of a bunch of rounded floating rocks in a void not unlike Splicer’s Vex Domains. Most of the ground was a deep eggplant color, with the walkable terrain being a pale beige. The center was a big half-ring, and two offshoots floated at either side.

I only got about halfway up the one on the left before I woke up, but for some reason, the encounter was entirely empty. No Hobgoblin snipers, no floating Harpies- nothing in there except me and the eggplant rocks.

Dammit… my brain dreamt that I solo-flawlessly ran a legend lost sector

And then I wake up and realize- no, I *didn’t* do that. Pain and agony

Then again, I should’ve known it was a dream- I loaded in with fucking Salvation’s Grip as my heavy weapon, and my pc kept giving me alerts that its internal fans were fucked. I play on PS4 irl

The boss was on a ledge right next to the entrance. The lost sector was on Nessus and a mix of Cabal and Vex: A Red Legion colossus, surrounded by goblins, weird wall-sentries, and mechanical triceratops for some fucking reason

The colossus eventually clambered on to the side of a helicopter, which I blew up with a Deathbringer shot. The exotic dropped straight from the boss, as opposed to the sector chest, and ended up being some kind of variant version of Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk that looked like the Hunter chestplate from Season of the Hunt

Had a Destiny/ULTRAKILL crossover dream…

Clovis Bray turned to the side of the Witness, and captured my player character Bitrik. I started out as my Warlock, dashing across the Ascendant Plane, accompanied by my Titan.

Together, the two of them (us?) tracked down a hole where Clovis was sending Taken(?) Vex drones in and out of the Plane to commune with the Witness.

However, my Warlock was cornered by a unique Taken Knight and executed, the game went to the title screen and then feigned my PS4 and TV turning off. It reopened in Bitrik’s POV, who was being held captive by Clovis.

Clovis was experimenting on him (me?), scanning him and trying to kill him in multiple different ways. None of them worked… until he tried radiation poisoning. Over and over, Bitrik’s body began to become less salvageable for his Ghost, until he was nothing but a fragile lump of flesh barely clinging to life. He still had all of his paracausality within him, but no way to channel it

Clovis was after something called the Raven Staff (which I think was just the Nightmare Harvester but Dreaming City themed), demanding that Bitrik give it over. Bitrik, being an irradiated blob of Awoken meat, couldn’t really do that.

Eventually, Clovis tried summoning something(?) to take it by force, but that backfired, since the Raven Staff was apparently modified to only be usable by Guardians. A massive hand crashed through the ceiling, announced that fact, and crushed everyone in the room.

——

For a moment, I saw through the thing’s eye(s?) as it plucked a BrayTech chip from deep inside Clovis’ Exo brain.

The view cut to a cinematic of Bitrik standing on some pale Vex architecture, being interrogated by the Exo Stranger. His armor was slightly different- more Hive-like, less gold- and his eyes were visible through his mask.

Elsie played a clip of someone talking about the Raven Staff- it sounded like Mara, but Bitrik admitted with a robotic voice that it was him. The camera zoomed in on his face there, revealing two golden Exo eyes beneath his helmet.

————

Back in the lab, Bitrik’s soul was being torn apart. Every time he was shot with radiation, he lost a chunk of himself. Eventually, he managed to slip from his body and into some kind of afterlife.

The dream quality took on the appearance of ULTRAKILL’s graphic style as Bitrik descended down a tunnel of… something red. From here, Bitrik and V1 kinda merged. The zones that it went through was a desert-like version of Limbo and a new forested place called Natura.

I can’t really remember much about this section of the dream, except that there were creatures that had to be dealt with in priority before they enraged. Never figured out if it was a proximity, timed, or line-of-sight thing for that mechanic…

There was also some kind of puzzle aspect to go “deeper” into Bitrik’s escape. Word puzzles spelled out nonsensical sentences, which felt like they had meaning at the time but are completely incomprehensible looking back. Each secret level had some version of the Taken Knight (from the start of the dream) chasing Bitrik/V1, acting as a timer for the level since it corrupted everything around it.

I never reached the end before I woke up… but the whole time I was slowly coming to consciousness, I was assailed by a feeling of dread. Something felt wrong.

Had a dream that there was a button in the HELM that just said “Girl” and when you pressed it it spawned a lightbearer wizard.

happy 5+yrs of let banshee say fuck

Almost exactly two years ago, I had a dream that Banshee was allowed to say “fuck”

I am still in the firm standing that Banshee should be allowed to say “fuck”

Does Lysander know anyone named Cassius or is my dream brain doing another prophecy?

Had a D2 dream, but I can barely remember it

Most of what I remember is that Nezarec was there and something about Taken being given sentience in the Pale Heart (they were red and had anxiety)

I think there might’ve been prismatic things, and I remember a bunch of guardians wearing new (not in-game) exotics being trapped in pyramid amber

Also there was a new subclass, and I can only remember Warlock because a Hunter called them a bootleg rave tech. It was based around light beams or some shit, blinding and stunning enemies with big fuck off lasers

Had another Destiny dream last night, this time about a fireteam that fell victim to the Great Disaster.

It was a weird darkness memory sequence, and I wasn’t alone in it. I think a few of my clanmates were there. One of them, his Guardian was actually part of this fireteam- the sole survivor.

I remember a dark room preserved in finality-like architecture- a dorm that the fireteam had slept in, each bed with unique blankets. Being in the room, you could hear their voices. One sounded very young, almost childlike. They were happy, all six of them. They were a fireteam, yes, but they were also a family.

And then the Disaster. All six of them went to the moon, but only one made it out alive. We found the bones in a strange crevice? Vent? preserved in another finality structure. The bones spoke to the survivor- told him to run. Told him to turn his back on the past and run.

The room turned loud and red and cold, and we all felt the weight of darkness on our backs. Something came crawling down the corridor, screaming bloody murder. I never got to see it, but I could hear its claws scraping at the pyramid glass. We all ran as fast as our legs could carry us in the confined space, and the moment the last of us were out of the hallway, a dense slab of glass slammed it shut behind us.

The lone survivor cried. That wasn’t closure. That was ripping open an old wound. Whatever force manifested that place, it didn’t do so kindly.

The dream ended there.

Had a dream last night that Bungie reissued Splicer weapons and the foundry perk was them talking to you. There was a Splicer hand cannon that had the voice of an angry bird named Carrot (?).

(The perk icon for the speaking parrot intrinsic was literally just a crunchy jpeg of a bird superimposed over the bottom right of the inspection screen. I remember it was green and yellow, looked kinda like a parakeet, and had a very smug aura about it.)

Also for some reason, the Splicer auto rifle had a different perk- there was a chance for some of its bullets to fire like the weird drifting projectiles that some Eliksni guns have

Also Misraaks was there at one point but I can’t elaborate on my sfw blog /hj
