Mr Sandman ~ bring me a dream ~

[innerdaemons]

Who: THOSE ASLEEP or if you just want a late night mingle for some reason.
Where: DREAMSCAPES or other places
When: 102 late/mid night

[ if you're the sort to dream tonight - - you might find an odd occurrence happening. some may be experiencing other's dreams entirely, or may a sort of disturbance in them.... ]

((DREAM POST! It's up to you if you want to be aware you're in another's dream if you visit one or if you just fit into a "role" there (eg becoming a sibling in a happy family dream).

only Baritones members with the proper ability purchased can alter the contents of dreams, though, instead of just being a regular witness to them . in other words if you're okay with Ardyn fucking with your dreams let me know.

EDIT: you'll be able to interact with other dreams (as if you were a regular person in them, eg you're able to talk and interact with objects, if someone is going to try to stab you you can still try to avoid it or fight them) but if the contents of the dream itself designate a Certain Thing you don't have any control over it like a Baritones member would. ))

...got a little light in here, at least.

[we_meet_again]

It did!

Here, let's sit down for a bit.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...yeah. Yeah, okay.

[Helps lower Hurricane to the floor and takes a seat beside him.

Once they're seated, he pulls Hurricane in for a side-hug, not unlike what they did during bingo]

[Hesitates for a long couple of seconds before he leans into it.]

[we_meet_again]

When you wake up, maybe you can find some guides on lucid dreaming at the library.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...dunno if I'm in a hurry to practice anytime soon. Much as I sucked in this one, they're usually way worse.

[we_meet_again]

Isn't that all the more reason to learn how to do it? So they don't have to be worse.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I been doing okay. I just stay up, mostly.

[we_meet_again]

Doesn't sound like a viable long-term solution, though...

[crossmyheartandhope]

You'd be surprised how far sugar and caffeine go.

[we_meet_again]

And yet, here we are now.

[gives his shoulders a light squeeze]

You don't need me to tell you that you've gotta sleep sometimes, right?

[crossmyheartandhope]

I totally sleep sometimes. I sleep like... every other day, mostly.

[we_meet_again]

Hmm... Sounds tiring.

For those times when you do need to sleep, if there were something you could do on your own to stop the nightmares, would you do it?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Depends what it was, I guess.

[we_meet_again]

Going to the library and reading about lucid dreaming. Trying out some of the techniques when you have a nightmare.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...yeah. Guess giving it a shot won't hurt.

[we_meet_again]

What have you got to lose?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Can't get worse, right?

[we_meet_again]

[Cobalt smiles.




He pulls one knee up and rests an elbow on it.]

Do you remember the button game?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah?

[we_meet_again]

Almost everyone in my unit went out in the first round. The penalty was pretty frightening, and a lot of us were having super intense, wake-up-screaming style nightmares afterward.

To help, we dragged a bunch of mattresses into the common room and all of us slept out there, like a sleepover. When anyone detected someone starting to have a nightmare -- like if they started thrashing or whimpering or something -- we'd use Cloud Nine on them. It was an effective way of stopping nightmares, it turns out.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...that game really sucked. I'm glad you guys figured out a way to get around the dreams at least, though.

[we_meet_again]

I don't know if you'd be comfortable with something like that, but if you ever want to give it a shot, let me know. I'd be happy to help.

[crossmyheartandhope]

You - what?
