Introduction
Back in seventh grade, I had dreams that seemed to be memories of past lives. Tried as I might, these dreams would never leave my head and just kept coming. Some of these dreams went over days, weeks, or even years of memories. They showed me a terrible humanity, a futuristic one, the end of the world, God, Satan, and the restarting of time. I decided to publish these stories to share them with people to get their thoughts on it. I’ve gotten a few and this short book is to get more opinions on it. This will sum up everything I remember from my dreams and try to give you an understanding of them. To start, I will show you the criteria I used to tell the difference between a storyline/memory dream and a normal one.
Criteria for a Storyline/Memory Dream
A dream would be a storyline/memory dream when they; refer to previous memories, don’t contradict the previous memories, happen over the course one or more full days in a single sleep, I can smell, taste, and feel, I can’t break out of the memory dreams, and I sleep and have other dreams while the memory-dream is going on. These dreams have also taught me things I would have never learned on my own and have given me feelings of true happiness, rage, sadness, and commitment that I didn’t feel before then. It’s a bit of a scientific method sort of thing I came up with when testing dreams so I can tell the difference between the different types.
If it was a normal dream, I wouldn’t remember much after waking up. These normal dreams are also easily forgotten whereas a storyline dream would stay with me even if I forget parts of it. In a normal dream, I would also have the ability to wake myself from it or manipulate it from the inside. I’m not able to do the same things I’m able to do, feel, smell, and rest like in the storyline dreams as well. I should also note that I don’t really have any nightmares since I would usually be the monster or be able to kill whatever is terrifying me. Now that you know what makes a storyline dream and how I tell the difference between them and a normal one, let’s talk about the dreams themselves. Of course, I’m not going into incredible detail about them since I do that in the actual books, Society’s Monsters, and Society’s Monsters Reborn. I swear to you that I’m not trying to nickel and dime you. If I was, I wouldn’t give out this book for free.
Society’s Monsters
This happens on a small overpopulated, polluted earth with terrible people on it. Most people I knew here were mostly out for themselves and kindness was rare. The government was very liberal when they promised relief and free things, but they only made things worse. My family was equally terrible as I suffered physical and mental abuse from them. I didn’t have any help or comfort as I didn’t have any friends to begin with and my older brother ran away from the family. It was normal for the firstborn to run away, which left the second or third born to pick up for them. My mom in this life wanted me to become a doctor so they wouldn’t need to pay much or anything for medical expenses. People also had a shorter lifetime so there was that as well. I didn’t want to be a doctor, heck, I had no idea what I wanted to be. I tried to kill myself a couple times, but I could never go through with it.
One day, Satan came to me and offered me a way out of this and I took it. He killed my grandmother and then he gave me a way to kill three ‘friends’ I had, which he liked. I killed them with a green gas that slowly suffocated them to death. After that, I was lead to a gray basement where two other kids were sitting at a gray table. The kids were Michele and Shawn who had their own terrible backstory and made my life seem like a cakewalk. They taught me how to shoot, kill, torture, and the reason to be brutal and unforgiving towards others. We were the first Society’s Monsters members and we did Satan’s will which was to take back power he gave to certain people. The people ranged from people in power to normal everyday people. Some of those people were kids like us and talked about changing our ways, but we never listened to anyone. We only killed and tortured people we didn’t like and people Satan told us to. The three of us became fast friends and obtained riches beyond what other people had.
I admit, I had a crush on Michele and tried to be her boyfriend, but Satan stepped in and married me to a grade school crush I had, Angelina. For some reason, Angelina was under some control that made her fall in deep love with me. She even had a child with her that loved me as if I was her actual daddy. I don’t know who’s the real dad, but I had no choice but to accept them. Even though Angelina wanted sex every now and then, I denied her because it didn’t feel right. All I wanted to do was kill in an attempt to change the world. Years passed and my first three friends grew distant from me and seemingly nothing changed in the world. Michele and Shawn were punished for being lazy and not as dedicated as before. It didn’t matter much because the Society’s Monsters grew to a group that had influence in the world with hundreds and thousands of kids that were abused by their parents and world.
Eventually, Michele and Shawn died and I didn’t care. On one day in Hell, which I could access, I came across a real mom that cared for her child. This was an eye-opening moment for me so I started to free people from Hell that we sent there. I later find out that older members of Society’s Monsters have done/are doing the same thing I’ve been doing so Shawn and Michele might have been doing this as well. At age twenty-five, I knew I was going to die soon so I laid down on the couch downstairs in my old house to die, but as I died, a bright light enveloped me.
Society’s Monsters Reborn
I was reborn in a new world that’s leagues better than the old and the one we’re currently in. The people there operated on a system of analyzing and acting before taking anything seriously. In this way, we can tell which theories and ideas to take seriously and which ones that are just not logical. The world was very religious and conservative in fact since we usually stuck to what is good and true since it was the most logical. I’d say that the planet was mostly “Christian” in a sense. I don’t think Jesus Christ existed on the second earth though He was implied. God, in the most popular religion I worshiped, was also called The Parent or The Father. His Son was implied in Scriptures, I think since it was said He was like Him. The Spirit was talked about more however as the Scriptures and people would talk about a divine Spirit descending upon them and giving them direction. A form of “Judaism” and “Islam” existed as well, but they were more like different versions of the religion I worshipped with “Judaism” being older fashioned and “Islam” being uncaring towards unbelievers even though they cared for their “Christian” and “Jewish” counterparts. Atheism and agnosticism existed as a “child’s religion” since evidence for the afterlife was a bit more convincing because of the attitudes towards it and the intelligent people that put the arguments for it in the most understandable way possible. On a side note, the technology used in the second world for interacting with the paranormal was also better with full conversations with the dead being possible.
Science was also improved as we were going to colonize other planets, explore other solar systems, and destroying diseases and their mutated versions. We even discovered all of the ocean floor, which is surprising because this earth was twice the size of the original. That’s another thing too. We found what I think was the original earth from our first life and it was mostly destroyed. I remember seeing this one scientist approved artist drawing of it that had ruined cities that were covered in ash with flowing lakes of lava. This gave most people the idea that humanity was teleported from that planet by a divine being who saved them from the destruction that was caused either by the planet or ourselves. This is a side note, but the first earth than the second. I’d say that the one we’re currently on is a size in between.
The air on our planet was also more fresh smelling than what it currently is here. Each major country had environment-friendly reactors and machinery that allowed for the safe mining of resources. These reactors, however, could not be destroyed or harmed lest the entire planet suffer so they also acted as a suicide bomb that deterred evil individuals from sending missiles or nukes at countries. The most popular historical stories that were told were of the unnamed martyrs. Normal everyday people that were not interested in being known, but were dedicated in a cause that was more than them. I remember dozens of statues that were dedicated to them. For the most part, the world was more peaceful with few evil individuals and criminals.
For fictional stories, what we call “edgy” were some of the most celebrated stories if they made the gruesome parts result in something positive in the end. It had to work and make sense of course, but it was nevertheless one of the best parts of this world especially since I’m a fan of horror. I also remember video game franchises that we currently have though they were different. Franchises such as Silent Hill and Twisted Metal had more entries in their series. Call of Duty came out every two years and always set the bar for first-person shooters while reminding people why they liked old fashioned morals and stories.
So enough about the world, how was I in this world? When I was four, I was possessed by Satan and almost killed myself, but Alicia, my soon to be girlfriend, saved my life. She’s my hero and she taught me different things that I could never figure out on my own. Alicia saw the beauty in life and the best in everyone. Even though she would sometimes take advantage of her good reputation to do selfish acts, she was the best person I’ll ever know. Temptation or Angelina was a girl I knew who tried to make me turn away from Alicia and make me her boyfriend. She was only friends with me and my friends and she didn’t exactly have the best parents. Temptation would sneak into my house every now and then and molest me for lack a better word to make me break up with Alicia, but I never died and she never gave up. I don’t hate Temptation nor dislike her. She was just in desperate need for romantic love. We tried to hook her up with several other guys, but she always came back to me. Before you think about it, no, I don’t like her just because she constantly molested me. I’m not into that I swear! Lance was another good friend. He looked like Lance from Pokemon with his spikey blond hair and cool outfits. Lance was a bit of a dumbass, but he was our dumbass and my bro. Speaking of my bro, he didn’t stay at home since he was a busy businessman who was constantly traveling.
At the school I was at, they taught what we consider college pre-requisites, so we wouldn’t need to take them in college. It was brutal, but Alicia helped me through it. High school was pretty much a slightly more difficult version of grade school and I don’t have many memories of it. In my teenage years, Alicia forced me to get a job at a car repair garage. She knew the guy there, whose name is Richard, and got me the job so I could buy her and everybody else things. Sure, the job paid extremely well and the guy and his wife were nice, but still…actually, I feel like I want to complain about it, but I can’t especially since it gave me enough money to set me for life. Life was all around excellent with my girlfriend Alicia, bro Lance, best friend Temptation, and a great family. I wrote down a bunch of specific moments in my book, but just like the present, the smaller moments are forgettable but matter nonetheless. I remember them, but it doesn’t matter if I write them down since it would be useless padding.
When I was eighteen, Alicia forced me to go to college since it’s what everyone did. I told her I had enough money to give both of us comfortable lives, but she wanted to be a nurse/doctor so I couldn’t stop her. Alicia said I should be a video game story writer since I knew so much about them, but I didn’t think I was that good of a writer (as some of you can tell from this book). I still registered for writing classes though because I usually did what Alicia said. No, I wasn’t her puppet or bitch boy if you’re wondering. Fortunately/unfortunately, the end of the world happened when my dad, Alicia, and I were running an errand. Demons started popping out of the ground and started killing people. My dad sacrificed himself to save us and a subway train full of people. My mom died earlier because she sacrificed herself to save people in the hospital she worked at so my parents were dead and I later heard that the rest of my family was killed. The family of my friends was also killed though I was more upset that they were upset. Humanity tried fighting against the demons that day, but we couldn’t really do anything until angels appeared from the sky and secured our cities for us.
They offered humanity a chance to fight in their army and we took it. There was a special corps called Humanity Saviors that consisted of people my age. I later learned that most or all of us were ex-Society’s Monsters. We were trained by the Spirit and we were given special blessings. Our skin was impervious to physical harm, and we could pull a pistol out of thin air that had unlimited ammo. The bullets for the pistol would melt the skin and body of a demon or sinner and would do little to no harm to a good person. The only downside was that if your emotions were intense enough, then you would be physically hurt in some way, so we had to keep our emotions in check. We had the demons on the run until a traitor in the corps started killing us one by one with a mysterious weapon, which leads to the destruction of the group. Alicia and I were the only ones left (Temptation was in the intelligence division at the time and I rarely heard from her). We went to go investigate a place that was said to have the traitor and it turned out to be Lance. He betrayed out because he was forced to see his girlfriend die while he himself was tortured. Lance and Satan trapped us in a room and Satan possessed Alicia. Satan gave her the modified version of our pistol, which is the weapon used to kill most of the members of Humanity’s Saviors. They then left us at a stand-off where I was forced to shoot Alicia, however, Alicia didn’t die. I didn’t want to shoot her, so I instead accepted my death, but Alicia mustered the strength to kill herself instead. God broke the barrier around us and told me that she thought it was better if she would die instead of me. I figured that and told God to leave me alone for a while with Alicia’s body and He respectfully left. I must’ve spent an hour holding her body while singing songs to her and telling her how she was my hero and how much I loved her. My eyes then wept bloody tears that permanently stuck on my face.
After that, I fell into a deep depression and tried to kill myself several times to no effect. My other school friends that I had forgotten about fished me out of the river and tried to get me back to normal. God, Himself then joked around me a bit and acted like how a father would normally act to His son and got me back on my feet. After a month or so of no fighting, the demons came back in full force, destroyed the reactors on the planet along with my friends and thousands of other people. The armies of heaven and humanity then went into full overdrive in fighting the army of hell for the next few years. One of the missions I went on was an infiltration of hell with a lost friend. There we freed people who were wrongfully dragged down there along with who I believe to be Shawn and Michele. I also fought Lance down there and as he died, he regretted what he did and obtained forgiveness. Later, he would come back to help me kill the person who set him and his girlfriend up. In hell, Satan put a disease in me that slowly killed me and would kill me instantly if God touched me. Temptation was tasked with saving my life and she did so by sacrificing her own for me.
Once all that was done, heaven launched its final assault against hell and Satan was thrown into a lake of fire (I got the front row seat). Since I was on the front lines, God brought Alicia back to life for me and we got married. We had two beautiful children, one boy, and one girl. They were mostly like their mother with only a little of me in them. While Alicia was helping people recover, I was attempting to write stories about what happened or just fictional stories since I had forgotten how to fix cars. After a few years passed (I think I might’ve been twenty-five or thirty years old at the time), God brought me out to the shore and told me that humanity would die soon because of a certain disease that was out because of the reactors. Satan added to the disease a factor similar to the one I had meaning God couldn’t touch it or at least that’s what I think. I was so shocked at the news that everything became lower in volume. God then asked me if He should reset time and I agreed. God also asked me if I wanted the memories from my previous life and I got them. I was so horrified by what I saw that I also added that God should make the next life easier for people. He agreed as everything around us imploded. I then asked if this would damage Him at all and He laughed then said it would take more than this to kill Him. The light then overtook me then everything went black. My memories of my current life then started to play out until it brought me to the present.
Adding things to the story
The first way I thought of presenting this story was through a video game since that’s what I went to college for. After realizing that Computer Science wasn’t for me, I went on to book writing. Even though the stories are mostly the same as what I remember, I added things to make the stories make a bit more sense. Here’s a list of things added.
· Shawn’s, Angelina’s, Richard’s and Michele’s name. I don’t remember their names, but I do remember what they looked like and how they were. The names I give them sound like names they would’ve had.
· I don’t remember why exactly the disease that was going to kill off humanity was incurable, but what I say in the story/ what I vaguely remember seems to make the most sense. As for the reason it existed, I don’t know. The only idea in my head was that God had it there for Satan as a balance, so Satan had the possibility to win. Of course, I don’t think this type of disease exists anymore and maybe God gave Satan the victory only to take it away to show him that it’s useless to fight against the good that is God.
· The disembodied voice in the books is just the other thoughts in my head. It was also a way to connect the Society’s Monsters story to the Choice and Consequence stories I have for a future crossover I have.
· The name of the second planet.
· The powers that the devil gave us took the form of these tendrils. The tendrils pictured above are Shawn’s (left) and Michele’s (right), but the thing is, is that these were changed from the originals which were like mine which is pictured below. I changed them for the video game version for gameplay variety but decided to keep them in the book story to make the characters stand out a bit more.
· Society’s Monsters is a made-up name for the original first group. Or at least that’s what I think. The name itself fits the group and the people in it. Humanity’s Saviors, however, isn’t made up.
· Dakota didn’t have magical powers in the first story.
· Some of the events in the first book are based on summaries in my head. They basically happened the way I describe, but they’re 90% accurate to what I dreamt/remember. This is also true of the second book, but I remember more of it so they’re 95% accurate if I remember correctly.
· The commercials in the first book aren’t exactly the same things advertised in my first life though they are what would usually be advertised in a similar way.
· They don’t call me Michael at all in the first life nor do they call me Michael that much in the second. I called myself Michael because it was a cover name for the surprise at the end and because it was my nickname in the second. As I say in the second book, I said I wanted to be Michael the Archangel in pre-k as a future career. I only got called Michael by my best friends when they were joking with me or we were just casually talking.
· I don’t know if “Angelina” from my first life is the same “Angelina” I meet in the second life. Both act the same and have the same strength, so I thought it’d make sense if they were just the same person.
Personalities of God and Satan
God
When I saw Him on earth in his human form, he had long brown hair and skinny almost female-like body though I couldn’t see His eyes. It’s said that it would burn me up or I would just die if I saw His eyes. He wore a white hoodie, brown pants, but didn’t wear any shoes. He was definitely a jokester and acted like a strict, but a fun father. It was sort of surreal when I was with Him since He just acted like a wise person than anything else. His voice sounded like thunder, but it also sounded caring at the same time. From what I’d seen, He definitely acts the way we describe Him today.
Satan/Lucifer
The father of lies. What else do I need to add? When I was with him, he acted like a father figure. Of course, now I realize he was just tricking me. In human form, he had a goatee without a mustache, curly black hair, reddish brown eyes, a black suit and red tie, and a black pair of dress shoes. Just think of that one painting where the Archangel Michael is sending him to hell and you have a pretty good idea of what the devil looks like.
Conclusion
That’s pretty much all there is to tell. I might remember a few other details later and there are more details in the paid books if you want to take a look. There’s not much I can do to convince you that these events I dreamed about actually happened. I’ve talked to an atheist and a couple Christians on Twitter and they surprisingly didn’t have a problem with what I said. They didn’t think I was crazy nor did they think I should suffer punishment for what I did in my first life. It reminded me of when I talked to God face to face in my second life. He didn’t mention any of it nor did He judge me for it nor did He talk about it. He just acted like I was another one of His special children and loved me the same way He would another good person.
Thank you for reading this short behind the scenes paper for my Society’s Monsters stories and I hope you give them a read!
