PARKERS

I have a date on Friday.

JUN

I don't know how I lucked out, but everything on Saturday somehow resulted in a date so thanks for letting me abandon you.

TEXTS TO TOBIAS, late

-- what the actual fuck are you doing

Hi, everyone! Another post so soon? Thanks to Naomi's brilliant idea, I'm going to put together a resource accessible to anyone dealing with the Dreams that essentially just lists who is being dreamed of and any other pertinent details you might think need to be included for others to identify that they're at least sharing dreams about the world even if they don't know the name. For example, it might look like:

Leia Organa-Solo - From Alderaan, daughter of Breha and Bail Organa
Han Solo - Made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, from Corellia

Just leave a note here, anonymously or not, letting me know the name of who you are dreaming about and anything else you want to mention. If you want YOUR name attached to it, as well, for shared dreamers to more easily get in touch with you, let me know. Otherwise, I'll attach your Anon ID so that others can filter you anonymously!

This is totally optional, but I hope you'll consider doing it, at least anonymously!

Just out of curiosity, since I'm still just a couple months into this whole Dreaming thing, but is there any sort of, like, master list swimming around out there somewhere of who might be Dreaming about what? Because there are people I'd like to know about if they're around (in a good way), but I feel weird just throwing names out there. Maybe that shouldn't feel weird since it seems like most of us are in the same boat? But, I don't know. Just curious.

Annnnyway. Almost a month into year two of med school and I'm finally settling into a routine of classes, homework, and work. I might forget what my husband looks like (lol jk he's too beautiful to forget that) but it will all be worth it in 500 years when I'm a neurosurgeon. 👍🏾

All right, my friends, this one can relate to the Dreams, or just your life here. Commenter's choice! Anonymously, or not anonymously, tell me what song--or songs--is stuck in your head or on repeat on your Spotify playlists. Drop a link, share lyrics, whatever you want. And feel free to provide context, or not. Anything goes. I just want to know what's currently on your soundtrack.

A few months ago I posted a lovey-dovey video that one of my classmates put together for our psych class with a bunch of married couples talking about when they knew they were in love with their partner. She did another one, this time just for fun, with some other footage from when she did the interviews and she sent it my way because my grandparents are in it (57 years). This time they talk about first kisses, which is all very sweet and can be seen here.

Like last time, I feel like I need to open up the stage for some further warm fuzzies and possible amusing stories to be spread around. So tell me about a first kiss, Dunhaven at large. It could be with your current partner or maybe your very first kiss, if yours wasn't with your current partner. I'm so over packing right now and just want to hear some stories. 🥰

Time for another anon post, if you're so inclined to jump in. Your responses can, as always, be public or anonymous, whichever makes you most comfortable.

Is there anyone from your other life that you wish was here with you, that you could see and talk to in whatever capacity? Assume for the purpose of this post that your response does not come with the unintended consequence of wishing dreams/memories on another individual. This just piggybacks off of the last post when we talked about things you wish you could say to someone back there, or here.

( Cut for images! )

In case there was any question, Dunhaven, I've got really unreasonably adorable kids.

TEXTS TO CHARLIE

-- Can we go somewhere?
-- It doesn't have to be overnight or anything.
-- And if you're helping your sister with wedding stuff or something, don't worry about it.
-- Just if you're free and want to.

CHARLIE & FINNLEY

I had a dream last night. Obviously I only slept for a normal amount of time, but it felt as though I lived half a life during it. Childhood, adolescence, a lot of training and military. That's familiar, I know, but I wasn't me and it definitely wasn't Virginia. It was about a boy named Matthias and he lived in somewhere called Fjerda. He did It got All of it was very real. I remember it as clearly as I do growing up with you two.

Do you think it could be a fluke or does it sound like a dream?

REI

Hi, you. How are you today?

HOW does summer always seem to go by so quickly? I think I need a last hurrah summer trip sometime before classes start up in August. Sora? Finn? Anyone?

FINNLEY

We need to finalize your Bachelorette Party plans, sis!!!

FINN

Can I talk to you about something?

TOBIAS

Hey, so. How are you settling in?

Now that I've seen my girls, I feel as though it's safe to actually use this network and say hello. It's been a while since I had a permanent address in Dunhaven and it feels pretty good, all things considered.

How is everyone? I wouldn't mind some life updates.

NETWORK POST TO CHARLIE PARKER

Sorry if I came off a little rude on your post the other day. I just didn't know how to process that info. Truth be told, I'm still struggling with it a little bit, but I'm getting there.

I was wondering if you would be free sometime to let me buy you a coffee and ask you some more questions about all of this?

Hi, friends.

It's been a long while since we've done one of these and, though I no longer need the data for my sociology class, I do think they've been very productive in terms of discussion. So here's another anonymous post for you! Again, you can turn on the anon filter and no one will know who you are, or you can just respond as yourself, whether because you're not ready to reveal who you're dreaming about, or whatever the case may be.

Tonight's question is: If you could say something to someone you knew/know in your dream world that you can't say here for whatever reason, what would it be?

I start my internship at Buckley & Wolfe on Monday, which is a combination of words that I'm still not sure I believe. Between the four years to get to law school and then the year of it so far, I assumed that I'd be in perpetual limbo. Imagine how flabbergasted I'll be when I'm taking the bar and graduating.

And I love that despite having to cut back on the hours at Chapter One, I'm not going to be deprived of Wolfe company.

STAR WARS FOLKS:

Happy Star Wars day to us.

In case anyone was wondering, it's just eighty-six days until I can officially start using my new business cards, and I've never been so stoked about small stacks of card stock. Getting married comes with some true nerd perks, people.

I'm glad to see spring coming around, too. I've already got the beginnings of my little garden going.

[CHARLIE]

Feeling good about the end of the semester?

Oliver taught me how to make lasagna, and Jonas swears that it's edible. I didn't even burn the edges. If you need some study fuel, I could pack some up for you (and Finn and Sora, if they would want any?)
