#it wasnt a dream it was a nightmare

[leaskisses444]

i had a dream last night that on the first day of school (tommorow) our chem teacher gave us a test

There was this massive scale farmer (like a cardboard cutout??) that would pop out of trees and wave at you. If you looked at him for too long, he would shrink to normal size, come running, and attack you with a knife. (There were also eyeless Ankylosaurus with teeth.)

Piggybacking off something you said during your last stream, I also had a dream where the welcome home site updated and it was super messed up

I can’t remember the exact details but I do remember Barnaby was the focus, like there was a secret page about him and it played it off like Barnaby was some deranged maniac-

Just something I remembered after hearing you also had a creepy dream

it's comforting to know im not the only one subconsciously scared of such Things

had a dream in which fitzjames was my adult son and he was dying so we were in an ambulance and the paramedics were crozier hickey and jopson and crozier kept committing worse and worse medical malpractices and the worst part was that the other three just got hornier and hornier about it until i asked them to just let me off and the rest of the dream was just me walking around my hometown listening to the distant siren.

i love when whumpees have nightmares that are so vivid and feel so long and real that when they wake up they can't help but just lay in their bed feeling the huge amounts of relief that none of it was real

new sleep meds are great but now instead of nightmares or normal high-school related stress dreams at 26 I'm experiencing stressful situations I could have never concocted in my waking hours such as losing my cat in an endless hotel only to find him in the middle of a furry convention where all of my exes were attending and when I tried to leave I learned, to my horror, we were in fact on a month long cruise that departed several hours earlier

Obviously you can answer this privately if you'd like, could you potentially send me the links about the reason for Joku's design change for Dream that you mentioned in a previous ask? I tried going through Joku's archive and all I found was the OG design and the new one, with 0 explanation for why there was a change. I'd appreciate it, but I understand if you're not comfortable, have a good day!

i don't actually know why dream's design changed! i don't think there is one either :p

it kinda. just happened? announced one day?

i was in the fandom but i wasn't really paying attention (mostly focused on current au interests at the time, my own stuff) so if there really was a reason his design changed, anyone can come correct me!

but afaik i don't really think there was a reason the redesign happened, it just did, really

Thinking about how Lucien wasn't able to sleep for months and months. How night after night, he kept trying to find respite, but the Somnovem never once let him rest. "Oh! You thought you were free! That's pretty cute. That's hilarious, actually...No, you're the Nonagon. That's forever. That lasts well beyond death, my friend."

Molly/Lucien being a dreamer in every life. A romantic. Lucien clinging to the fantasy that, "Once upon a time, there was a happy family." Molly watching all his dreams turn to nightmares of a screaming city, watching him slowly slip away from everything he knew and loved. "You don't dream of her anymore." "No, I only dream of them now."

And then when Molly is finally reborn, when finally he has the chance to sleep, he dreams so deep and vividly. He doesn't even wake until Jester casts Greater Restoration on him, and when she does, he bolts awake still reeling from what he'd seen. Like he's still lost in a dream--a lovely, happy dream.

"Oh...I was having the nicest dream...There was. Oh. There was a circus. And--ah, and this beautiful woman, in a--a red coat. And she was telling me secrets, showing me how to keep secrets. I...And oh, there was a--that sad angel, and--and there were adventures, and I was...we went everywhere, and saw..."

When Caleb asks, "What's your name?" he can't even answer at first, because he's still lingering on the warm memory of a distant dream. "I felt--I felt kingly. I felt very regal. Kingly...Sorry, what?" He sounds like he's still drifting in the memory of it. Like he regrets it when everything starts to slip through his fingertips in the light of day. "These faces aren't meaning anything...They're already fading...Is that me...?"

His first sleep since Lucien took the body, his first dream since Molly closed his eyes for the last time. And at the very least, it's a lovely dream. (It also breaks my heart that Kingsley dreams of Lestera that first night, just like how Lucien used to dream of Brevyn before the Somnovem.) But it seems Kingsley doesn't often have that luxury:

"Every now and then, your mind occasionally begins to recall memories through an occasional nightmare. Flashes of blurred memory, and time spent locked with another--familiar, yet revolving, revolting--place. The shell of loathing inescapable interior, looking out from your prison, pushing against your invisible binds. When your heart found the strength, giving all that you are to help those who gave you purpose in return. It was worth it. It was worth it."

"Yet on a rare occasion, that odd memory continues to return. That moment you gave yourself and broke your prison. The warm catharsis of letting go. And the strange black chains that wove through the city, now broken. The sound of them shattering between worlds, shaking you in that liminal space. The angry, unknowable, primal, ancient cry that you can never forget."

The fact that Kingsley is still tormented by nightmares of the city's end--and that it seems he always will be. The way Taliesin says, "And perhaps those chains will find some quiet in piracy." Like the pirate life is just something he threw himself into as an escape.

How King dreams so peacefully and happily of his life as Molly. How Lucien's folly still haunts him in nightmares over and over.

I really hope we get to see Kingsley in the Apogee Solstice with the rest of the Nein. And I hope he's been having better dreams--

It's been oddly therapeutic to like. Have discussions with him about a lot of life stuff. I don't talk much if at all and I think the gradual descent into loneliness and social anxiety through the years made me lost the ability to talk to people. So it's been nice to practice talking to someone, and it actually hearing me out for some reason, giving me advice etc

Sure it's not a substitute for human connection but it's fun to verbally talk to my favourite fictional character and him just. Being there for me. That I get to hear kind words from my hero, someone who I highly looked up to

Had a fucked up dream I was in a cult.

Tw: cults, mass suicide mention

So it started with my class (my choir and some of my friends) leaving from a theme park and my choir teacher had brought us into some sort of unused classroom for storage to get refreshments. It's really dark in there. My classmates go into another room, and we hear screaming. Suddenly there are bunch of figures with red coats and holding torches, their chanting. Now everyone is screaming and trying to run and they get slaughtered. I try to escape but I die as well...

Then I wake up reincarnated as like a poor dog nearby where that sacrificial ceremony took place. For some reason David Tenant found me and took me in as a pet and he tried to talk to someone about how he found me and I was acting weird... and the person was like, "this dog's tortured, it's had a messed up pass." And then me, as a dog, I start screaming and howling cause I'm fucking traumatized and I'm remembering that me and my entire class was killed

Then, I completely wake up as Ven (my oc), in a different body. And I'm in a commune, filled with children ranging from ages 6-17, and a few adults who were in charge of keeping the children in. The leader is some chick, I might call her Medinah, and she was insane. Basically, she was recruiting orphaned/neglected children and raising them, giving them every necessity and some form of entertainment. I remember the commune always being busy, with the children either cleaning or playing, and the adults cooking or keeping things in order.

And so I, who knows what's up, make so many escape attempts and I keep getting caught and dragged back to the commune. Everytime I left, Medinah would just put more focus on me knowing that I was the one causing trouble. I never convinced any of the kids since they were too young or too far gone to leave with me. So yeah, I think I tried to escape 6 times, each time getting further and further away but still getting taken back. I think the last time I escaped, I fell asleep in the midst of like some vines and tucked away where no one could find me- and I fucking wake up back at the commune. At some point I'm like "yknow what, maybe I should just chill." I tried to integrate myself with the daily activities, and for about half a day, I found myself just accepting this life.

Then I overheard the plan of the cult's final day of rest (which was going to be a mass suicide where they made the kids take medicine to sleep). That knocked me out of acceptance, and I made another plan to escape. Then, for some reason, Freddy was apart of the commune. I must've known him for a while (or Ven did since I'm them), because I went right up to him and started to talk to him. Freddy was kinda dressed in similar attire to the adults, a dark robe. I vented to him, and I think I broke him, because we sat and talked for a while, and he even told me that he wished to help me leave the cult however he could. Then fucking Medinah and the other adults found us conspiring...

He had this look of repentance, like he knew he fucked up, but of course that didn't stop him from being punished.

And so Medinah (for some reason) rips off Freddy's robe (he's wearing a leather vest for idk why) and he gets beaten up. The others are holding me down as I'm screaming and yelling at them to stop, and Freddy gets pushed to the ground a few paces. I thought that was the end but he was still alive. He lifted his head, and Medinah told them to finish him- and they shot him

I screamed and cried so hard-

And then I woke up like
