By NORM BREYFOGLE. Metaphysique's third session reveals a private nightmare of Dietrich Mater (founder and administrator of Dreamright Labs) featuring himself as a child with his parents in Nazi Germany. Why is he so driven, so motivated, so willful for power? This session/issue also introduces Orville "Metaphysique" Dreugh's Hindu Indian teacher/guru, Haridas, and features and epic medieval nightmare in which the Oneironauts fight to protect a castle and village from a monstrous Metaphysique-demon. But why has Dietrich elected to keep them non-lucid (unaware of their true identities or that they're dreaming) throughout this session's virtual reality dream? Adam and Prakriti are becoming suspicious, as it appears their astral travel experience (from session #2) is being covered up somehow! Or are they just delusional? Cover price $2.95.

By NORM BREYFOGLE. What happens when an irresistible psychic force meets an immovable psychic object? Find out in this session! Dietrich Mater, director of Dreamright Labs, has psychically empowered himself with energies drained from the Oneironauts, the dream explorers of the lab. He is now the nigh-omnipotent Superius, capable of ruling the planet, and fully intending to! Even the world's nuclear arsenals are a joke to him. Only one man can stop him: his adopted son, Adam, just returned from the moon and transformed into the new Metaphysique! But is even he powerful enough or must a higher force be invoked? Cover price $2.95.
