I know these feeling are dangerous, but it's no use denying anymore. I've tried.

	</s>Let me guess, it says "Bad Wolf"!</s> Ah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why would it say "bad wolf?" Why not, "Many happy returns?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is that a joke, Mr. Dream? You don't seem like the joking type! Long story that you can probably see in my dreams anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That you made a joke? If you're going to be some kind of... significant person thing... it's probably good to have a sense of humor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, that I made a joke. Even if it was a terrible pun. Am I going to be significant? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I meant in a world-wide type of sense, not personally. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's no 'going to be' about it. I already am. I'm just usually...behind the scenes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Dream timeaftertime 2011-12-12 03:22 am UTC (link)
	Okay, so... impersonally significant world-wide behind the scenes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suppose a sense of humor would help one to...roll with Asaph's punches, so to speak. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is he a problem for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Jack metamorpheus 2011-12-14 01:51 am UTC (link)
	Is he not a problem for you? Colligo is a very small world, and its lord is much to big for his britches. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Guy kidnaps me for his weird planetary zoo, of COURSE it's a problem for me. But I don't know if it's some kind of existential problem for you or what. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Jack metamorpheus 2011-12-14 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	Not as big a problem as if I were cut off from the Dreaming entirely. But that is beside the point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The Dreaming? What's that? ~~Is it like the Hub?~~ Is his type not normally able to effect you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Jack metamorpheus 2011-12-14 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	The Dreaming is what it sounds like. Though you might know it as Demos Oneroi. It is my realm. His type is supposed to have respect for his peers. Even I don't go around yanking people into my kingdom at whim, though I most certainly could. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	People just kind of fall asleep and show up, huh? None of that sand-blowing stuff? You'll probably be seeing a few nightmares from me in the near future. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Jack metamorpheus 2011-12-14 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, I have the sand, all right. But it's more complicated than merely falling asleep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Any chance I'd understand it if you explained it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	People may dream, but they don't usually just travel willy-nilly through the Dreaming anywhere they please. Granted, there is an exception to every rule, but it is generally not a good idea for people to go popping into other people's minds. It's a bit like crossing one's own timeline.

	Oh, see, now you're talking my language. Does everyone have their own reserved spot? Or just pop in wherever there's availability? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Everyone has their own small demesne of the Dreaming, linked with their own subconscious. Every couple of generations there is someone born with the ability to enter the dreams of others, but usually with disastrous results, breaking down the barriers between the minds of the dreamers and sucking them into a massive vortex. Usually.

As I have said, though, there are exceptions, and for some, I have carved out a permanent place in my realm, where they will join me after their passing.

	Anything involving anyone getting sucked into a vortex really isn't pleasant. And I've been in the time vortex, so I would know. I guess mine might as well be permanent, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, but you can't die. You get to keep me company in the waking world indefinitely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
