Julia's Story

Dreamt by Nic, 7 June 1998 Finally, after months of lobbying the Sci-Fi channel, our fondest wish was granted. They were making an Earth 2 movie! And not just a television movie, either, this was a film destined for the big screen. But to get the wider spectrum of viewers, the film's writers had decided to focus it upon the life of Julia. Jessica Steen was a big star, and producers hoped she would be the drawcard. If the movie was successful enough, it could lead to another film focussing more on all of Eden Advance. This first one, though, was going to be Julia's story. I walked into the movie theatre with my sister and we sat, prepared to be stunned. I was so happy to be seeing any new "Earth 2" that I didn't even care if Devon and Morgan (my favourite characters) were barely in it, as long as they were there. The film started with a younger Julia on the stations. Her upbringing in the Council, the fierce mother she'd had to live with, and the pressures of society to succeed. This young Julia had little luck in love - her heart was broken by a slimy young man and she vowed to never trust another person again. She had resigned herself to being alone. Along came Eden Project - and more of Julia's heartbreak as she was forced to spy on them. We saw the events of "Earth 2" through Julia's eyes and felt so much compassion for her. One focus was her struggle with emotions - to not only accept herself but accept another person's love for her. Alonzo's. He proposed and Julia didn't know what to do. (By this time in the movie, I was dying to see what would happen because Julia had been through so many struggles and changes and I wanted to see it turn out alright.) Devon and Danziger had an intense, whispered conversation about Julia. They could see that she was struggling inside about what to do. Could she finally let go of the pain of the past and trust someone with her heart? And was Alonzo that person? A fancy-dress ball was held (in VR), and somehow, it was known that Julia would announce her decision that night. She was wearing white, a beautiful dress for a bride-to-be. Devon was in pale lilac which somehow suited her really well. Bess wore a yellow evening gown and the men were in suits. People danced, but everyone (including the audience) was constantly watching Julia. How her face changed as she fought to decide her own future. And here comes the killer of the dream. Julia stood tall, everyone else sort of melted to the sides of the ballroom to watch her except for Devon, Danziger and Bess clustered in the middle. Alonzo was standing a little ahead of them, close to Julia. Julia didn't say a word, just took a purposeful step forward, her eyes shining steadfast blue and true. This was it, when she sealed her fate and took her destiny into her own hands. Julia walked straight past Alonzo and took Bess into her arms and kissed her. They made a beautiful couple as they held hands and walked off into the sunset together. In the audience, we were gaping at the shock ending. Obviously, Julia and Bess had been seeing each other for a long time! Stunned, I woke up from the dream thinking, "Where did this dream come from???!!!"

Klingons and Cliffs

6 May 1997. Dreamt by Nic. I was climbing a cliff on G889 with Danziger. To my horror, he kept ranting on about how honourable it would be to reach the top and when I looked again, he had turned into a Klingon! ARGH! Somehow, there was a rockslide. I crammed myself into a tiny cave to avoid the falling rocks and it was so scary. Danziger the Klingon got carried away. Then E* (from the E2 list) climbed up to rescue me and she gave me her special scented bath oils. *Names have been left out to protect the innocent. I can't help it if people from the E2 mailing list (whom I haven't even met) wander into my dreams, can I?

The Demise of Devon

A short dream. Nic, 28 November 1995. Devon was in cold sleep. There was no getting her out. And so the years passed until all the original of Eden Advance died and still Devon slept. One day, though, she was released. The doctors could not do a thing for her and she died. She was buried beneath a dead tree in a stark, barren grey landscape. Amanda from Melrose Place came along and laughed, for Devon was finally dead. Amanda danced on her grave.

Real Estate on G889

Nic, 16 July 1997. I decided to move to G889 - I was sick of Earth. So off I set, although I had to travel across the ocean (rather than through space) to get there. I wasn't the only one with that idea. M had also decided to go, and she and I ended up with houses next to each other. All of the Edenites who had moved to G889 decided to go to the inaugural Emmy awards. There were six of us - M, C, D, A, M2 and I. We all cheered when a Terrian got the award for best special effects - lightning related. *g* We all went back to our houses and then Devon came along and told us we'd settled on the wrong coast. None of us cared because it was really beautiful and Morgan and Bess had decided to settle there too. This made one of my neighbours particularly happy! * All the initials listed in this took the form of E2 listmembers during the dream. If you see your initial and you're a regular poster, then yes, it's you!

The Death of A World

Dreamt by Nic, 26 November 1997. This was a really shocking, powerful and intensely realistic dream. I may turn it into a fanfic someday. So allow me to copyright it! On G889, the planet, and I was part of a horrifying vehicle chase down a mountain. We had to get away or we'd be put into prison. We were Eden Advance and Devon was still locked in cold sleep - yet the ship was in a lush green valley that was far behind us as we raced to escape the Council. Then everything stopped. We were on a small brown plateau, upon the edge of a forested mountain and as we stared to the horizon, a burning ball rose. It was so hot and so bright I was sure it was the sun, yet it moved too quickly for that. And then it exploded. A nuclear shockwave seared across the landscape as we watched from our high vantage point, able to see so far. Everything in its path was... obliterated - the trees, oh, the trees, the blue river, the ship in which Devon lay... And the shockwave was coming for us. We screamed and faced for the small shelter - if only we could get there in time - and those of us who made it huddled in terror. But Uly and Denner were still poised on the edge of the rock when the wind of radiation struck and their bodies were instantly obliterated into a million particles. It was horrifying and shocking. All of the land had been destroyed. Never shall I forget that terrifying 'beauty' of the shockwave as it raced across the land, killing it, for it was beautiful in a tragic way - that sun, the glory....

Goodbye, Devon...

I dreamt this on 30 September, 1995 - the night I saw AAE for the first time. There were endless hours of frightening images of Devon and her terrible, inescapable fate. I could feel her confusion and terror as she was shut away from the world forever, not knowing what was happening but knowing that life would go on without her. And somehow, she passed into the great river of life. Devon's spirit merged with the stream as she raced past her friends, trying desperately to hold on but she could not go back, she could never go back. And she finally arrived in a place of beauty and life.
