Oh, I walked the line

When you held me close that night

I paid the price

Never held you in real life

RITUALIA HOMINIS-A DREAM

Was ist ein Nachtschreck?

Bei einem Nachtschreck (Pavor Nocturnus), schrecken die Betroffenen im Schlaf hoch und sind von massiver Angst erfüllt. Diese Schlafstörung tritt meist im ersten Drittel der Nacht während des Tiefschlafes auf. Zwar betrifft diese Form der Störung vor allem Klein- und Schulkinder, doch auch Erwachsene können von dem nächtlichen Hochschrecken betroffen sein. Mit Nachtschreck ist nicht das Aufschrecken während des Einschlafens gemeint.

Welche Symptome treten beim Nachtschreck auf?

Das nächtliche Aufschrecken macht sich bei Betroffenen häufig durch folgende Symptome bemerkbar:

Wimmern

Keuchen

Schreien

kalter Schweiß

beschleunigter Herzschlag

Es kann auch soweit gehen, dass nächtliches Aufschrecken von Herzrasen und einer beschleunigten Atmung begleitet wird. In den meisten Fällen sitzt die Person kerzengerade im Bett, ist stark desorientiert und kaum zu beruhigen. Das Gefühl kann einer Panikattacke gleichen. Auch verhalten sich Betroffene ähnlich, wie nach einer Panikattacke.

my sandman fic masterlist

hello yeah so basically everything i write and draw about sandman takes place in this AU that's been continually developed since, like, 2018. only a small fraction of said AU is actually written down, but it's still a lot of fics, so i wanted to make one big navigational post

[trickster-archangel]

Not me, obviously, except it was me, dreaming a whole plot for an apocalypse mcdanno AU or maybe futurefic, the fuck I know, complete with zombies (which I HATE and especially hate DREAMING ABOUT), Steve's and Danny's desperate goodbye kiss, all told from Steve's POV, with a heartbreaking perspective when he has to go and save Grace, leaving Danny behind because he's been infected.

Blame Sanctuary's Pavor Nocturnus, which I haven't rewatched in a year, anyway, or maybe Too Sick To Pray which I've read at least six times in the past week.

If I knew how to write, I'd write it.

Pavor Nocturnus

[drifting-pieces-blog-blog]

Breaking down the comics: Dreams and knowing oneself (Issue 22)

Moon Knight, Issue 22: The Dream Demon / Moon Over Alamein

Another double feature guys!**

Also LOOK AT THIS COVER. They've dug this cover up SO many times because it's just that amazing! LOOK AT IT. 

Bill Sienkiewicz ate his wheaties that day. 

….Why does Steven have a bent club with nails in it? Steven… Sir… 

Alright. Dream demon Morpheus is back. 

Moon Knight had his regular villains back in the day. Morpheus was one of them. A man that can affect the mind and cause nightmares. 

An interesting villain to a hero that comes with his own traumas, nightmares, and mental health problems. 

We open to see a man having a bad dream. 

"Unlike the beneficial effects of normal dreaming, the shroud of pavor nocturnus holds no soothing psychic balm. Rather, night terrors are profoundly disturbing to the slumbering psyche. Indeed, clinical sleep research has shown the phenomenon to be completely unrelated to ordinary dreaming, and thus the antithesis of subconscious healing." 

That's a long way to say that not getting enough sleep or dreaming normally can mess with you and cause even the most mentally stable to crack. 

It depicts a man who is in the throws of a night terror. In fact, it tells us that this man is Peter Alraune! 

We met him before. 

The narration comes on to talk about how night terrors are typical for children of a certain age and that they are characterized by abrupt awakenings and little recollection of the dream-like experience. 

But Peter remembers his nightmare. "He's after me...Coming to get me... He's after me. Morpheus is after my very soul!"

Meanwhile, in New York, we see a taxi cab cruising the streets. "Aimlessly without a fare, yet ignoring all potential riders." 

Jake is restless, getting a strange feeling that he needs to check on Morpheus. Oddly specific feeling. 

So he dons the Moon Knight cowl and heads up to the research facility where Morpheus is being kept and checks in on him. 

Morpheus is sound asleep, but then two janitors pop in to mop the place. 

The older Janitor explains who Morpheus is to the younger janitor. How Alraune gave him experimental drugs that left Morpheus mutated and unable to sleep or dream. 

Turns out that the research facility dopes Morpheus up each night to help him release his bent up dream energy to keep it from going off the walls again. 

However, according to the expose janitor, Morpheus is getting resistant to the drugs so they have started using something new to help him dream. 

Moon Knight figures that Morpheus is taken care of, so he's about to leave when suddenly he's attacked by someone in the shadows! 

Just as Moon Knight is about to finish off the shadow guy he suddenly sees Marlene falling off the roof! 

Just as he gets to the roof edge, he realizes that Marlene isn't there! But the shadow figure instead pushes him off the building! 

Moon Knight does what he does best and lays on the ground in a daze for a moment. 

Figuring he's exhausted, he decides to change back to Lockley and head over to Gena's for breakfast. 

Jake complains to Gena and Crawley about his hallucination or waking dream. 

Crawley tells Jake about how dreams are hallucinations and that in some cultures that dreams are as good as reality. 

I just want to say that in these pannels it's so wonderful to see Jake in his element. The diner, the friends, and drinking his bad coffee. Gena even remarks that she made his eggs just how he likes them "Runny". 

Anyways, Jake takes off, still feeling ill at ease. 

Samuels, the butler, meets Jake outside and tells him to use the garage entrance, as someone is visiting. Marlene's brother, Peter! 

Jake takes off running to quickly change. 

"Being four people ain't easy... And between Lockley, Spector, and Grant, not to mention Moon Knight, it gets downright scarey. In fact, my biggest fear is that whichever personal I adopt, It'll be somehow destroyed by the other three..." 

OKAY. Let's... Take a moment to look at that. 

It's hard to say who is speaking here. Jake was the one that arrived at the house, but he's in the process of switching out to deal with Marlene and her brother. In this moment, he should be going to Steven, as this is Steven's area. But sometimes in between changes, we see Marc when he's alone. 

But is this a fear of all of them? That somehow they will be deemed unacceptable and destroyed by the others? 

I think this might be a realistic worry that some part of them is seen as not needed and gotten rid of. Perhaps it is Steven who worries that his lavish dealings are not needed. Or Jake who struggles to live his own life with his friends. Or even Marc who hates his life so much that he often self-destructs. 

Marelene interrupts their musings, calling for Steven to come calm her brother down. 

Peter is down in the library having his own little nervous breakdown. 

Peter explains to Steven that he keeps having recurring dreams that Morpheus is coming for him. The night terrors are getting so bad that he's growing physically ill. 

He worries that he himself is growing to be more like Morpheus due to his lack of proper sleep and dreams. That he might mutate and become the monster too. 

Peter has started to study Oneirology (the study of dreams) and sleep science. He believes that dreams and the hormones and chemicals around dreams are the key to things like ESP and telekinesis and the likes. 

Peter describes a dream he has of Morpheus waiting outside his window before shattering it. He then wakes to find the window intact, but a glass he left next to the window broken without cause. 

Steven sends Marelene and her brother up to their vacation home in Maine to get some rest, driven by Frenchie. He has his own research to do. 

But as Frenchie drives, Peter falls asleep and suddenly Frenchie is hallucinating a giant monster in the road! He swerves to avoid it and crashes. 

Meanwhile, Moon Knight is up visiting Morpheus again, checking him fully this time to see if he's really dreaming. 

The shadowy figure shows up again and attacks him from behind! 

Moon Knight gets in a good hit and the figure flees. 

This time, Moon Knight gives chase! 

He’s in for a good time. 

I love how he’s drawn when he’s startled or confused. A blank face in darkness but those little eyes still give away SO MUCH. 

He dreams of a New York blasted to rubble by a nuke. 

Also of a weird gruff clown that asks him how Marlene is. 

Moon Knight takes it in stride. 

I can’t stress enough how well Moon Knight has always dealt with things like this. Odd things that don’t make sense. Things that might make other people freak out or realize something is wrong. He just takes it as it’s presented to him and goes about his merry business. 

This is an extreme coping mechanism for someone used to dealing with extreme stress, trauma, survival, and also just weird things. 

In the tunnel, Moon Knight comes across models in bikini's being judged by men in top hats in innertubes in a pool. 

One of the ladies declares Moon Knight to be her "white knight" and asks to be rescued. He just kinda shruggs and goes "Sure--Right this way." 

And then he's attacked by large screaming bats. 

"Into that tunnel up ahead! Bats hate caves!" 

Yeah... this... this is gonna get weirder people. 

Then the model he's rescuing turns into Marlene, complaining about Bloomingdales to Steven. 

A huge snake appears and attacks him. 

Marlene declares that she can take care of it. She walks into the snake's mouth and uh... I'm not sure what this is supposed to imply but I’m sure it implies something.

 And just like that, he wakes up in a subway on the tracks with a train heading right to him! 

He dives out of the way just in time and finds the shadow man still running from him. 

It would seem that even in his dream state, he still managed to chase the man. 

"I've got to overcome these bizarre dream attacks [...] But I can't just give up and let this guy get away! Got to risk the dreams--Try to stop him before I"m lost in that nightmare world again!" 

He momentarily gets the best of the shadow man when suddenly he finds his worst nightmare. 

I adore this art. The reaction. THe hand. The difference in style with the three of them. 

It also further points to my theory that Moon Knight is his own alter. He is not Marc, Jake, or Steven. Maybe he isn’t a fully realized alter and not fully self aware of being his own person, but he really is his own person. 

Now we get to see how Moon Knight himself deals with the trio. His different views on them and how he thinks they might see him and themselves. 

As sad as it is, I’m cheering because this is the first time Moon Knight has declared himself his OWN person. “I’m Me! I’m Moon Knight!” He has gained self recognition! 

But what does this mean for him and the others? 

Moon Knight breaks free of the dream and finds himself beating up a store manikin in a street. He looks up in time to see Lockley’s cab careening down the street towards him being driven by the shadow man! 

He makes work of the crescent darts and gives the cab a flat tire (Lockley's gonna be pissed later). 

The cab crashes into a light pole. 

The shadow man attacks him again and Moon Knight attempts to fight off the dreams. 

He uses his crescent dart to stab himself in the leg to attempt to wake himself up! 

He stabs himself over and over again as he fights off the shadow man. 

He knocks the shadow man down. 

Cut back to Peter, Marlene, and Frenchie! An ambulance has arrived to the scene of the car crash! 

But Peter is missing! The ambulance driver informs them that they didn't find another passenger and only them! 

Moon Knight unmasks the shadow man only to find PETER! 

"The man who's been trying to kill me for two nights running is Marlene's brother-- Peter Alraune!" 

Back at the research facility, the two janitors run into a very much awake Morpheus! 

Turns out the drugs they were forcing into him to help him dream was only making him stronger till he linked up with Peter and gave Peter the ability to induce dreams and use him as a pawn! 

Oh no! A Cliffhanger! 

This one is really something else! The fear of the other alters trying to make him go away. The declaration of Moon Knight being his own person. The art and the weird dreams! 

**This is going to be a multi-parter as I’m going to review the next one then come back and do the mini story! Stay tuned for part two!

Never have I ever written an apocalypse story and/or AU!

Hey thanks for the ask! ❤️

Kinda? I mean there’s the little oneshot at the end of the world Life Without Purpose from Sanctuary Pavor Nocturnus.

The Timeless post season 2 fic Friends in Time had Lucy and Wyatt time travel back from an apocalyptic future. It’s talked about in flashback but isn’t the primary focus of the story.

I have never written a full story in an apocalypse and I’m not sure I would want to? I’m a “happy ending” type person and any ending in an apocalypse could only be bittersweet or perhaps hopeful but still there’s such an underscore of tragedy. I mean I get the point of finding light in the darkness, that even in the darkest of times people find a way to live. There’s a lot of good stories to be told.

I mean I do tell stories of times of hardship. My current novel is alien invasion - entire cities have been wiped out. However they are still fighting. An apocalypse implies that they lose. Maybe they rebuild but there’s a total loss / end of fighting / giving up / lack of hope first. That just isn’t my thing. I want to keep hope, snatch victory from the jaws of defeat if necessary.

I enjoy playing Horizon Zero Dawn / Forbidden West. I think that’s as close as I get 😛

🍍🍏🥝 for the fruity ask:))

Thank you!!! 🥰

🍍 What kind of AUs do you like? Are there any AUs you hate or just generally have beef with?

I'm not really picky with my AUs, to be honest. I like 'modern' AUs, though. @tinknevertalks's 'In the Nice Part of Town' and 'Of Sequin and Scalpels' are two of my favorite stories. I can say that I like soulmate AUs solely because of @galactic-pirates's 'Time Will Tell', which is so beautiful.

Apocalypse is also one I love, because 'Pavor Nocturnus' is one of my favorite episodes. (Though I have an irrational fear of zombies, so go figure)

I kind of have a beef with high school AUs, because I find them boring and the characters are usually reduced to stereotypical teenagers and not teenage version of themselves.

Honestly, my beefs with certain AUs is more of how the writer portrays it and the characters, not the AU itself. (For example, an AU I might hate in Supernatural, I will absolutely love in Sanctuary and Stargate SG-1).

🍏 Is there something you overuse, whether it’s a certain phrase, trope, or piece of punctuation?

Commas. 😆 Never-ending sentences, my beloved.

I also tend to overuse characters' names in dialogue and have to take them out, because no one uses each other's names that much.

And I seem to be having a love affair with the word 'however'.

I don't know if this has actually crossed over from my original writing into fics yet, but I'm also a huge sucker for brow kisses. It's probably in fics without me realizing.

There's probably more that I'm not aware of.

🥝 What’s your favorite trope/AO3 tag to write?

Favorite? I don't know! That's a cruel question. 😂

My stats on AU claim a fluff, but that's because of Flufftober, so we'll ignore that.

I love AUs and found family/platonic relationships. I just love that and I use the latter in the majority of my stories in some way.

[faffreux]

Whenever I look through your mindflowers pics, the writing you slip in is fascinating! I don’t recognize the writing unfortunately,, I’m only familiar either English; and I love learning about different languages with friends.

Feel free to use whatever pictures you want for examples! But I’m specifically curious about Pavor Nocturnus! I’m so drawn to it… So inviting, a good kind of darkness; yet it feels very dire.. (my personal perspective on it)

If you���re ever too busy or burned out, you can always hit me up with more Faff facts at another time, anytime through messages! 😊 Your company is a joy to have around Faff!✨

AWW, thank you! I don’t mind talking about it a bit. Pavor Nocturnus is Latin for ‘night terror’ and that piece in particular was about my experience with pervasive anxiety and working to overcome fear. It’s an anxiety that especially hits me hardest late at night.

Fawful’s presence is a comforting one in my life so he functions as a symbol of protectiveness as he is essentially watching over Jolligig (and me, by extension!) in multiple forms of his, past and present alike.

The text throughout it is a protective incantation I’ve used in my own practice for some years now… it’s made appearances in past art as well! In that piece it’s written in both English and Italian because Italian is the first language of two very dear friends of mine— one of which gave me the translation for my art that day.

The fact that a friend contributed like that further imbues it with the energy of those who have shown me love and care, not limited to Fawful himself.

That kind of love makes the art I do that much more powerful and fulfilling for me at the end of the day. If anyone else can feel something from it… well, that’s a lovely bonus. ♥️

The title is also a nod to a song of the same name by one of my favorite bands
