Hey. It's Conner. I'm the kid with the dream about being half-Kryptonian?

Weird question. Have any of your dreams come uncomfortably true? Something happens in a dream, and then it happens when you're awake, too?

	I'm afraid not, son. The dreams I have are of a childhood I never had. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh. Okay. Well, thanks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm very sorry. Would you like to talk about it, maybe? I'd be happy to listen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm going to sound crazy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's all right, I know things are kind of strange lately. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This is extra crazy. I think I'm really some kind of science experiment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would you believe that's not the first time I've heard of that kind of thing, son? Half of us are dreaming of being aliens or superheroes or psychics. I don't think it sounds that crazy at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~That's not what I--~~ I mean that my mother didn't log out of her email account and I found something suspicious. Do adults do that? Leave messages lying around to see if the kid will find it and say something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mildmanner 2012-09-05 01:10 am UTC (link)
	Oh. Oh my, you mean outside of the dreams? If someone's trying to hide something, they don't usually do it on purpose, no. What did the message say? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I wasn't smart enough to print it, but the subject line was my name. She was giving someone a heads-up that I was dreaming I was a clone but that I didn't "suspect anything."

I mean, we'd just had a fight. I was pushing her for an answer on something and she really doesn't want to tell me, so I figured it might be a test to see if I was going to snoop?

But I mean, that's downright evil. We fight, but who does that kind of thing to their kid on purpose?

	Someone who has a pretty warped understanding of how to raise a child, son. I'd offer my help, but I'm not really much of a detective. Kind of hurts the journalism thing sometimes, always trying to play fair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have a friend who's helping me a little. I mean really, I'm just a jock. I'm not the 'plans' guy. Not even in my dreams. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mildmanner 2012-09-05 01:29 am UTC (link)
	I'm just a farm boy in the dreams. I was lucky enough to get adopted by some nice folks though. It's strange. Even here I have the same name. Clark Kent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds like a good dream. I live in a cave with a Martian girl. No idea why she's there. I guess it's where they keep the Team aliens, or something. ...weird. That's my last name too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mildmanner 2012-09-05 01:42 am UTC (link)
	... what are your parents' names, son? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apograph 2012-09-05 01:44 am UTC (link)
	Mary Kent is my mom. She won't tell me the name of my father. That's what we usually wind up fighting about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mildmanner 2012-09-05 01:46 am UTC (link)
	That is strange. And I have a hard time assuming coincidence anymore. Tell me, in the dreams, do you have powers above that of a normal human? ~~Can you fly~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apograph 2012-09-05 01:50 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. Strength and durability, mostly. I'm half human in the dream, so a full Kryptonian can kick my ~~as-~~ butt. Of course, full Kryptonian clones are apparently completely unstable, so. It explains why they went for the Lite version. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's all... a lot to understand. So strange, how real these dreams all seem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apograph 2012-09-05 02:31 am UTC (link)
	No offense, but I'm ready for something good to come of this. So far all I've gotten are a lot of trust issues. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mildmanner 2012-09-05 02:33 am UTC (link)
	Other people will let you down from time to time. Believe me, I know. ~~And I almost wish~~ But that just means you have to trust yourself more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apograph 2012-09-05 02:56 am UTC (link)
	You know, even if it's not real - even if there's a logical explanation for that email - I'm still just bits of other people. How do you figure yourself out when you don't know where you come from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mildmanner 2012-09-05 03:00 am UTC (link)
	Speaking from experience? One day at a time. At least nothing is there to limit yourself except yourself. I was an orphan from the day I was born. I don't know my past. It'd be nice, but I've found my future the better thing to invest in. (Reply to this) (Parent)
