Where do I begin? The dream starts with me in line outside of a grand opening for a store. Except this store is different it's kind of like an arcade. I'll explain as I go.
So as the line moves very slowly I advanced toward the front and I could see people entering but no one was leaving, or at least not out the doors you enter. I get to the front and I give the “bouncer” 200 hundred dollars and he lets me enter. I walk towards the double doors and two men on each side open the doors and I step inside and the doors close shut behind me.
I look around and I see isles like any normal store. I see kitchen appliances, toys, lawn and garden but no one anywhere. This is where I know something you don’t. This arcade is a game. You pay money to become a fighter and enter the store. There are tribes and people inside the store and you fight to the death to win. Using only what you find in the store. I’m not sure if this thought was Lucid or not as you can tell this was a dream from 2/15/12
Anyways, I hear footsteps sweeping the floor nearby so I take cover in the pool aisle. Some little kids made a fort out of noodles. I see two ten year olds about talking about how they were trying to flank the Oppositarians but got attacked by the FrozenFood Sectors. They asked for my help to go bring back one of their fallen members. I look out the aisle toward the frozen foods and I see savage-like people dressed in furs with frozen food weapons and bows aimed toward my left. As I look I see the kid behind some tires with an arrow in his leg. I try to find some weapons to defend myself but there are none in the pool aisle so I make an effort to travel to other aisles to find some.
On my way I see a garage door with like a small door at the bottom of it for like cats, only the door has a handle. I open the door and crawl inside but the other side of the door didn’t lead to the store it led outside with clear skies, tall trees and sand roads with little straw huts along them. I saw a group of Native Americans gathered near a fire talking so I paced myself toward them. They don’t get startled like I expect them to and the chief wearing elaborate head decorations stands up and I ready myself to run but the chief smiles and holds out his hands for a hug.
The leader tells me that I’ve been sent from the gods to help win this fight. So I prepared the army of people and we got ready to open the garage door into the store. But as we open the door an army storms through with people riding elephants attacking my people. I tried to fight off the horde but there were too many of them. So we pulled back and I found a wall like in Clash of the Titans where there were statues of people and when they fell they died. Many were falling off into the dirt and disintegrating. I walked up the wall and fit myself into the archway and folded my arms and turned to stone.
I awoke in my kitchen with a friend offering me strawberries but as she ate them she told me that I had no strawberries. Then someone kicked in my door and it was a guy from the store with war paint on his face and he threw a spear at me.
I woke up again back in the battle and broke the stone over my body to catch a spear throw at the chief who was trying to wake me up. As I caught it with one hand I spun around with my right hand up and disintegrated the last standing men. They turned to ashes and blew away in the wind. Then silence filled my dream. I activated a lever and giant carved stone heads came out of the ground and presented themselves as a signal that my job was done. I walked out of the hole made by the elephants that lead back into the store. I opened the front door.
No one was in line. No one was there and the parking lot was empty. I walked away and pulled my hood over my ears because it was cold.
Then I woke up.

Brimm's First Phrase
Brimm often meets with me in my dreams. But not every time he talks to me. Sometimes he leaves my head boggled with strange phrases and lines. These are his first.
"Dead tears dry"
"Heart aches swellow"
"Classroom of the faceless"
"waves outside"
My interpretation: Heart aches swellow, dead tears dry. In a classroom of the faceless, with waves outside.

Why it's called Brimm's Edge
Realm A: Is reality. Your powers have 0x magnification
Realm B: Brimm's Edge.
Stage 1 of Brimm's Edge is called Confusion because the dreamer isn't usually aware that they are dreaming. Your powers are 1x magnified meaning you have powers like flying or moving objects with your mind, et cetera while Lucid Dreaming. It is a 1/5 chance you will Lucid dream at this level.
Stage 2 of Brimm's Edge is called Domara. Emotions and powers have a 2x magnification. You are twice as likely to collapse the dream while Lucid dreaming here. It's called Domara because she is the evil twin sister of my Goddess Dolorosa. Here in stage two Brimm is absent and cannot come here. Domara is the dream caster here and shows up as evil family members and tries to hurt you, or break your heart.
Stage 3 of Brimm's Edge is called Edge. Because this is the last stage before dropping into Limbo. I've only been here once. I'm not even sure I believe in Limbo but I won't know until I learn how to drop another level. The edge. Your powers here are 3x magnified and 3 times more likely to collapse the dream.
When I say collapse the dream I mean it's construction will fall apart and you will wake up.
Brimm's Edge is called Edge because while in this Dreamscape it feels like I'm at the edge of a cliff. At any moment I could fall backward, back where I came which is reality and waking up. Or I could fall forward and drop into Limbo or what ever else lies ahead.

Meeting Brimm
Brimm's Edge is my dream realm. The place I go each and every time I fall asleep. This is my blog where I am going to take you into Brimm's Edge not physically but mentally.
I named it Brimm's Edge because a few months ago, and probably much longer but I recently acquired a better recall memory for my dreams, for a week straight I would wake up with odd phrases in my head told by a unique voice. Along with the voice this character in my dreams had a face I had never seen before, and for my that is weird considering my brain doesn't create new faces. Every face in my dream I've seen before at one point. This face is so strange and unique I'd know if I ever saw him in person. His dark grey eyes and short brown hair don't stand out much but I usually see this character wearing a peacoat and a scarf. One night while lucid dreaming I tried to find him again. I've always noticed him in all my dreams now that I think about it. Either behind a house, in an alley or a passenger on a plane, but he's always there.
Anyways, I went looking for him asking my subconscious where he was and who he was and my subconscious called him Brimm. "Have you seen a mysterious man wearing a peacoat around here?" I asked an old lady inside a small booth selling seashells like in a town square market. We were on a beach so the wood holding these stalls together was soft and mossy. The clouds in the sky readied themselves for a clash between them and the lighting to come.
"You mean Brimm my dear?" Her wrinkled face smiled as the wind blew what little white hair she had left on her head around, pulling it up and down landing softly on her head. The breeze was cold and you could smell the salt from the ocean. I had noticed she had a few missing teeth and she was wearing a dirty tunic with a leather vest over it and fingerless gloves. I looked to my right behind her stall and I heard a crack of thunder as I locked eyes with the man as he passed by a group of people, fading into the crowd.
"Uh.. yeah...Brimm." I said quietly as I started walking away from the old woman but never taking my eyes off the direction the man went.
Heading through the crowd of people buying, trading and selling items the crowd roared with laughter and chatter. They reminded me of the 1800's sailors, like those in the story Moby Dick. There was a small homestead on the beach that leads into a stone bricked road with stone houses. The crowd cleared and I saw the mysterious Brimm walk into an old broken house. The windows were cracked and I felt a twisted feeling when I approached the door.
I opened it and looked around. It reminded me of the Harry Potter wand store but smaller. It was dark, gloomy, dusty and creaky. It looked like the front desk of a hotel with slots with numbers on them behind the counter. Only one box had mail in it and a key room 17. I called out hello as I walked up to the desk. There was a shiny new bell on the desk it looked like something from my time. I tapped the top of it down and I heard the ring echo into the house. I listened for movement but nothing came. I went behind the desk and looked around in the crumpled papers, they were dyed a yellow color like the old paper. All the ink was smeared so I had no clue what this place was but I grabbed the key and searched the halls for the room.
When I found it the door was cracked open and there were two people having sex on an old brass bed with bars on the end. I opened the door and stepped in before I could realize what I walked into the man pulled out and ran at me screaming. He had shaggy black hair and I noticed the man sitting to my right in a chair holding a knife in his right hand, handle in his palm and blade pointed down against his knee. Resting but not penetrating. In his left hand which wasn't on the arm rest of the chair but straight out holding a head of a woman touching the floor. His eyes were set directly in front of him towards the bed. I quickly looked to my left before the screaming man reached me and saw the woman he had been having intercourse with had no head and was tied to the bed. Then the screaming man's jaw stretched over my field of vision.
I was with Harry Potter (ironically) and Hermione. We were in a city made entirely of a smooth marble with swirls of cloud-like colors that remind me of the swirls in bowling balls except they were black with green cloud swirls. I looked up and noticed the sky was red, with shaded red clouds. I was wearing a red silk robe with gold laced trim around the edges. Harry and Hermione were hand cuffed and not wearing any robes. Also we were being escorted by a group of other robed people. I couldn't move my feet only my eyes. We were walking through the streets on this city and people were on their balconies yelling in a foreign language. I looked up at one man. He stopped and fear swept over him as he went for inside. I could hear everyone's thoughts when I looked at them.
Man: What are you doing in Dolotris, Brimm?
Harry: Where are they taking us? We're going to die here aren't we?
Hermione: I'm so scared. I wonder if Harry has a plan. Should I tell him my feelings for him before something bad happens?
The hooded figured had no thoughts or I couldn't read them. Finally we arrived at some kind of courtyard. There were Roman pillars around the yard. There was room for like sword training and dummies, but there was nothing and no grass just the marble ground. They lead Harry and Hermione to the center and made a circle around us three.
Suddenly I turned toward Harry and Hermione and casted some type of spell at them. It shined yellowish white and they fell to the ground. Then I could walk freely and the crowds disbursed. I was trying to look into the faces of the hooded people but I saw nothing. Something caught my attention while I was looking around. I turned to my right and saw a woman’s blue hair coming out from the bottom of her hood. I couldn't see her eyes but I could see her mouth and she smiled and signaled me to follow her so I did. We walked far enough until the hooded people were out of sight then we turned our walk into a run. Her hood flew back and it revealed her smile that was like a rebellious smile that could laugh and evil laugh at any moment. We weaved our way down the alleys and made it to an elevator and she got in and pulled me inside.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"I need you to trust me." she said.
"I trust you-" but before I could finish the doors opened and she ran off pushing me out. As I got out of the elevator I turned around and noticed there were no controls to call the elevator I spun around to ask her how we call the elevator but she was gone. I headed down the hallway and waiting for something to happen and just as I predicted it did. The woman came sprinting around the corner with an odd object in her hands but before I could ask what it was I noticed she was being chased by more robed figures. I then too ran for the elevator I was hoping it would open on its own and when I had come up to it did. I got inside and waited but she ran in handing me the object and said “Good luck” and kept on running. I tried to run after her but the doors closed. The elevator headed down respectfully and I was about to inspect the object but the doors opened and I was back in the courtyard. I walked over toward Harry and Hermione and the sky lit up and thunder boomed.
I opened my eyes and felt my body underwater as I lifted my head up. The sound of thunder ripped through the sky again. I was on the beach next to the market laying half in the water. I stood up and Harry with wet clothes and Hermione were walking out of the ocean as if we all just got into a heated argument. I looked at Hermione as she stormed off the beach and turned to harry.
“What’s her deal?” I asked.
“No idea, but here. It worked. I hope you know what you’re doing.” Harry said handing me a cube the size of that object. The cube was made of marble. I walked off the beach toward the town and market where Harry and Hermione went however as I did a man in a peacoat was beside me leaning against an empty stall.
“Hello there.” Said the man.
“Who are you? Why are you following me?” I demanded. He ignored my question and reached out and took the cube.
“Thank you for retrieving the cube. I guess I’ll be seeing you around.”
“Who are you?” I yelled as he turned to walk away.
“The name’s Brimm.”
Then I woke up.
