&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dream Weaver: Origins and Dreams&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2: The Third Dream&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If Laura had looked uncomfortable going to bed in her basic underwear the first night I met her, than that third night she&amp;rsquo;d looked positively pained sleeping in an oversized t-shirt and boy-shorts. She also made a request that I not take part in her dream, I could watch if I wanted, but she didn&amp;rsquo;t feel comfortable with me being a part of it. I wasn&amp;rsquo;t going to pass up the opportunity to watch though, so when she fell asleep I triggered the spell.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Product Experience</title><link>/stories/2013/03/18/product-experience/</link><pubDate>Mon, 18 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/03/18/product-experience/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Sandy had always known she wasn&amp;rsquo;t an ordinary girl; ordinary girls had normal parents, had lives that would extend past their twentieth birthday, would be able to determine for themselves who they spent their lives with. Not so for Sandy and her sisters, they weren&amp;rsquo;t girls they were products; the best, most realistic feeling love-dolls money could buy.
Their mother was a chemist, and their father a silicone love doll that she had created an artificial semen for, at least that&amp;rsquo;s what she told her daughters. In reality the doll was her high-school flame; she&amp;rsquo;d caught him cheating on her with a gymnast the week before graduation and took her revenge then and there. The gymnast doll was now owned by her former boyfriend that she&amp;rsquo;d been cheating on.
Of course this knowledge was irrelevant to Sandy, she just knew that because of her parentage, her body behaved differently to normal girls: if she gained weight it was always in the “right” places for a doll to be hefty. Whenever she had sex with someone her body would react to that person and change just a bit to be closer to their ideal partner. She could turn her hair into a wig at any time, and replace it with another wig that would become her real hair. Finally, when she turned twenty she would change into silicone and be ready for sale. Nothing would trigger the change it would just happen, that was what she was after all.
Other than that she lived a normal life: she went to school, had boy/girl friends/troubles, experimented with sex, drugs, and while she wasn&amp;rsquo;t partial to rock and roll, she did rather enjoy classical music and went to see her city&amp;rsquo;s symphony orchestra whenever she got the chance. She was part of the cheer-leading team in high-school, and had a brief stint as a mannequin-model for a swimsuit store in the mall, but the store closed down due to the owner moving away.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Dream Weaver: A Week in Plastic</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/dream-weaver-a-week-in-plastic/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/dream-weaver-a-week-in-plastic/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dream Weaver: A Week in Plastic&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What would you do with nigh-unlimited magical power? Conquer the world maybe? Or perhaps live out your deepest, darkest fantasies? Maybe you would become a real-life superhero, helping the people of the world. Or maybe you&amp;rsquo;d do nothing, just try to ignore the fact that reality is in the palm of your hand and go on leading a normal life. I&amp;rsquo;ve been around long enough to have tried all of these options but the first; even with unlimited power, running the world seems like far too much work and I&amp;rsquo;d probably screw it up more than it already is, so I&amp;rsquo;m content to run a few small things from the shadows on that front.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Dream Weaver: Origins and Dreams</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/dream-weaver-origins-and-dreams/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/dream-weaver-origins-and-dreams/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="dreamweaver01.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dream Weaver: A Week in Plastic&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dream Weaver: Origins and Dreams&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh. So you want to know how my shop got its name eh? Yes, that will do nicely for a story. Though at that time I wasn&amp;rsquo;t really recording anything, so this will just be what I happen to be able to remember.
It was maybe&amp;hellip; about twenty years ago? Maybe a little more, time doesn&amp;rsquo;t really hold that much meaning for me beyond day to day appointments. Anyway, I was just getting bored of my &amp;ldquo;live like a normal person&amp;rdquo; phase, and was looking for an outlet for my magic. Somehow, though I can&amp;rsquo;t remember the details of it, I got it in my head that it would be fun to pretend to be a genie and grant someone&amp;rsquo;s wish. So I enchanted one of those classic genie-oil-lamps to alert me if someone rubbed it. Then I tossed it aside in a park in the middle of the night and left.
I remember it took a few days for someone to finally try it, but it did eventually happen, and I did pop out of the lamp wearing a stereotypical Arabian outfit. Now, I&amp;rsquo;d expected there to be a handful of people around, maybe with a few poking fun at the person who rubbed the lamp, so I made a grand sweeping bow saying &amp;ldquo;How may I serve you master?&amp;rdquo; before I took a look at my surroundings. An ear-piercing shriek brought me to my senses, and caused me to take stock of where I was; standing in a bathroom with a young woman soaking in a tub, at that moment trying to gather soap around herself in an attempt to conceal her body.
I made a quick judgement call, and decided it would be more fun not to break character.
&amp;ldquo;Well Mistress, if you didn&amp;rsquo;t like the idea of me seeing you naked perhaps you shouldn&amp;rsquo;t have summoned me while washing yourself.&amp;rdquo; I said, keeping the somewhat haughty tone I&amp;rsquo;d used when entering.
&amp;ldquo;I didn&amp;rsquo;t actually expect that to work! Genies aren&amp;rsquo;t real! Nothing is supposed to happen when you rub a lamp!&amp;rdquo; She retorted while still trying to cover herself.
&amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;ll admit my kind are rare, but there ARE stories about us. Never discount stories as totally false, they have to come from somewhere right?&amp;rdquo; Just as a side note, genies ARE real, they just like to keep to themselves. That Aladdin movie had it all wrong; their lamps are a paradise for them. They&amp;rsquo;re basically gods of their own realms in there so why would they want to come out?
&amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m still allowed to be surprised that you popped out, you just said yourself that you&amp;rsquo;re rare!&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;OK I&amp;rsquo;ll give you that. Now, as long as I&amp;rsquo;m here I believe I owe you three wishes?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Would it count as a wish for me to ask you to turn around so I can get out of here and at least wrap a towel around myself?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;I suppose that one can be on me.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Thank you.&amp;rdquo; At this point I turned and she got out of the tub and began to dry herself off. &amp;ldquo;So do you have a name?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Call me Quill, Mistress.&amp;rdquo; Now, it was fortunate for me that she didn&amp;rsquo;t ask me to leave to room. Why you might ask? Because she forgot that there was a mirror behind me. When she got out of the bath I got a rather good look at her body, before she wrapped it in a towel. She was maybe five-and-a-half feet tall, and couldn&amp;rsquo;t have weighed more than one-twenty, with a fair amount of that weight distributed on her chest. She had strawberry blonde hair in soft curls down just beyond her shoulders, a fair complexion, and amazingly clear skin. If that rogue mage from my last story had captured this girl, she would never spend longer than a few minutes on display before someone rented her again.
&amp;ldquo;And you call me Laura, being called Mistress feels weird.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Very well Laura. So now that you&amp;rsquo;ve dried off, do you have any wishes?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Well&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; She turned so red at this point that I figured she&amp;rsquo;d have boiled her bath if she was still in it. &amp;ldquo;I do have one wish. You might think it&amp;rsquo;s silly though.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;If it is for something frivolous then do not worry yourself. I know you mere mortals have strange tastes, and it is not my job to judge them, just to indulge them.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Well&amp;hellip; I need to figure out how to phrase this. I don&amp;rsquo;t want my wish to backfire on me.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Then perhaps I can help you figure that part out. I know some stories of my brethren have us deliberately misinterpreting wishes for our own sadistic amusement, and I wish to assure you I am not that kind of genie.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;How do I know I can trust you?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;You don&amp;rsquo;t. But just don&amp;rsquo;t say &amp;lsquo;I wish&amp;rsquo; before you talk it out to me and I cannot act on it.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;I guess that part is true. OK, I&amp;rsquo;ll just think out loud then. You let me say what all I&amp;rsquo;m thinking, then I&amp;rsquo;ll ask for your opinion. Got it Quill?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Ok Laura, do as you wish.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;By the time I have used all three of my wishes, this is what I want to have happened: I want to be a toy. Not a woman, not even really me, at least not the way I am now. I want someone to own my body, and I want my body to do whatever that person says, up to and including having it change shape on their command. I want to always remain a woman though, and always humanoid. Things like my hair colour, ethnicity, breast size and the like would be totally up to my owner though. Even what my body is made of could be changed on command; if my owner wants me to be a statue, great! A lovedoll? No sweat! As for my mind, I want to be disconnected from myself, in kind of a waking dream state. I would see my owner as my boyfriend/husband, and I would be in the perfect relationship. So, is this all possible?&amp;rdquo;
I was&amp;hellip; stunned to say the least. She&amp;rsquo;d obviously been harbouring this fantasy for quite some time and I did want to help her with it, but it involved mind-magic. Now, I don&amp;rsquo;t think I&amp;rsquo;ve fully explained my position on messing with other peoples heads so let me do it here: it&amp;rsquo;s evil. Oh, it can be used for some good purposes, but overall it&amp;rsquo;s powerful, dangerous magic that has a good chance to corrupt the user and target alike. IF the target is willing then there&amp;rsquo;s no chance of them being corrupted, but there is still a good chance for the caster.
Corruption, in magic terms, is a persons personal magic supply becoming tainted with impure emotions. What impure emotions are are up for debate, but hate, disdain for life, and the need to rob others of their free will, are pretty safe bets. What corruption means for a mage is that they&amp;rsquo;re slowly going to be taken over by their magic; losing themselves to the pursuit of whatever tainted them to begin with. So someone who became corrupted by enslaving people is going to go out and try more and more crazy things to enslave more and more people. For a non-mage corruption tends to lead to insanity. So it&amp;rsquo;s something to be avoided.
There is however one single, convoluted, difficult, and time-consuming method to get around all of that though: a technique known as Dream Weaving. It can only be performed on a willing subject, so that eliminates the chances of the target being corrupted. Additionally it can only be used to make changes the target desires, and I&amp;rsquo;m not talking waking desires, I mean the desires of the heart. If someone wants something badly enough it becomes a part of them, and Dream Weaving is all about the mage making those desires manifest, by giving the subconscious enough power to make it happen. So because the mage isn&amp;rsquo;t actually doing all that much, besides providing power, and maybe a gently nudging the targets dreams in the right direction, there&amp;rsquo;s no chance of corruption. This is the technique I used with Laura, after explaining how it was possible of course.
&amp;ldquo;So that&amp;rsquo;s what I would need to do in order to complete your wish.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;You can&amp;rsquo;t just snap your fingers and make it happen?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Unfortunately no. What you are asking for would take more power than I have available to me at any given moment, but over the course of time I can make it happen. You need only say &amp;lsquo;I wish for you to fulfil my innermost desire&amp;rsquo; and I will begin carrying out my task each time you sleep.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Well then&amp;hellip; Quill, I wish for you to fulfil my innermost desire.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;I shall begin tonight then. Sweet dreams Laura.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
