Forgive me if this is too personal a question for such a public space, but: has anyone else experienced a change in their dreams after arriving here?

	I was dreaming about the station scouts last night, and whether or not I’d checked the snacks were allergen free… I mean it’s different, but I guess that’s not the sort of change you’re talking about? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Did you have similar sorts of dreams before? Maybe not involving the activities you do on the station but normal life scenarios. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I used to have night terrors and flashbacks. My dreams are a lot more wholesome and tame now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You were able to find peace here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	papahemingway 2022-02-02 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I guess you could say that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dr_sleep 2022-01-30 10:12 am UTC (link)
	What kind of change do you mean? The content of your dreams? Actually dreaming where you didn't before (or the other way round)? Something like that? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	fearnomagic 2022-01-30 01:57 pm UTC (link)
	I can remember them now, something I could only do in bits and pieces before. Is the connection to the fade thin here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dr_sleep 2022-01-30 05:09 pm UTC (link)
	I'd need to know what the fade is, before I could answer that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fearnomagic 2022-01-30 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	That is more than fair, though you not knowing already answers my question. If you're not connected to where dreams come from, where do yours come from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dr_sleep 2022-01-30 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	I might have known it by a different name. Most people would think that dreams are simply your brain sorting out your memories from the previous day. But I don't dream like that, I never have. My dreams come from my Shine. I ~~have nightmares~~ dream of ghosts and I have visions. I don't sleep a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, I have. Have you? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	fearnomagic 2022-01-30 01:58 pm UTC (link)
	I believe so. It is difficult to tell, and explain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tieflingwarlock 2022-01-30 02:01 pm UTC (link)
	You could try to. My dreams are far more boring than they used to be, but my life is also more boring, so that explains some of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fearnomagic 2022-01-30 02:07 pm UTC (link)
	You think living in the sky is boring? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tieflingwarlock 2022-01-30 02:11 pm UTC (link)
	I'm an adventurer. I'm used to going on quests that took me all over the place. Being stuck in one place is boring by comparison. I like deep space, but I could already open up a portal to it whenever I wanted if I felt like looking at it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. It was a monumental change. Are they good dreams, or bad ones? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	fearnomagic 2022-01-30 02:06 pm UTC (link)
	Not truly good or bad, but I am more aware of them now. Before they would be a blur, though that seemed to lessen as I progressed in my training. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maryanne_walker 2022-01-31 08:22 am UTC (link)
	Are they less of a blur now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fearnomagic 2022-01-31 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	They are remarkably vivid now. Every time I dream it almost feels like reality. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you dreaming of home? Or the strange stretches of space? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mine have changed, but without a priestess to interpret them, I don't know what to make of it. Maybe it's normal, when everything else in your life changes, that dreams change too. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	fearnomagic 2022-01-30 02:51 pm UTC (link)
	Possibly, though I am getting the impression that dreams and dreaming can be very different depending on where one comes from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	katarinmiri 2022-01-30 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	Our understanding of them can be, and maybe the people who are not human dream in different ways. I was always told that our dreams are there to teach us something. What do they say about dreams on your homeworld? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fearnomagic 2022-01-30 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	We all visit the fade in our dreams, save the dwarves. Those with magic can apparently interact, and possibly control their dreams, but the rest of us mostly just see blurs and the faintest of snippets. I suppose that since I can remember mine I must truly be cut off from the world I came from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I have magic, and I didn't know that the dreams of people without it were blurred. Is the clarity frightening, or just the idea of being cut off from the familiar? I was cut off from my magic for a while and it was very frightening at first.

The priestesses say that nothing in a dream is what it seems. All the things you see are symbols, you just need to know how to read them.
