These dreams really feel sometimes like they are almost normal, and then they turn around and that changes in an instant.

One minute I'm dreaming I have minor superpowers and am a hacker and the next, I end up dying in my dreams. Full-out being shot and bleeding out death. Like, feeling yourself leaving your body kind of thing and all.

I still feel cold, even now, days later. It felt as real as anything I've ever felt in real life, and it's...

...between that, and my dream self being completely different from my day self, these dreams are really kind of freaking me out.

	Dying in the dreams isn't really easy. So I get that. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah, it was... nothing I ever dreamed I could feel. Still feels off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I get that, too. Except that I knew it was coming in the dreams. I'm sorry you had to experience that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	decypher 2017-04-17 09:24 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. I had warning. A friend here told me ahead of time. But... somehow, it still feels like it pounced me. I'm sorry you did too. I wish no one had to live, er, so to speak, through that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I caused my death. Well, I guess I sacrificed myself to save the world, so I walked into it. It's okay. It wasn't easy, but it had to be done. I came back. Someone I care for very much helped me escape the Underworld. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	decypher 2017-04-17 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	Oh wow. Yeah, I didn't go that far. I threw myself in front of a bullet for a friend. I'm glad you did come back, and that you can go on, feeling that way about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goldandjewels 2017-04-17 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	That's pretty important. It still counts as a heroes death. I am, too. Well, it was my life (and my mother's) or the entire world. It wasn't an easy choice, but it was the right choice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	decypher 2017-04-17 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	I was just being me. But thanks. Sometimes, no, most of the time, I think, the right choice is not an easy choice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sometimes just being you is enough. It usually isn't. But it has to be done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dream me never felt like he was. I haven't had that problem, but it's hard, sometimes, to separate what he and I feel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I get that, too. ~~Only dream me and I sort of align in our thoughts~~ Emotional bleedover is kind of weird. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	decypher 2017-04-18 07:28 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Emotional and mental. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goldandjewels 2017-04-18 07:40 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Have you gotten any good things from the dreams? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	decypher 2017-04-18 07:46 pm UTC (link)
	Computers, a disguise device, and some uniforms, those were all cool. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goldandjewels 2017-04-18 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	That sounds fun. Dream abilities, my armor, my spatha, and some nectar and ambrosia. OH! And my horse. Arion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	decypher 2017-04-18 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	Oh cool! Armor? And a horse? That's awesome! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goldandjewels 2017-04-18 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Roman demigods. We're all about armor and swords. The spatha is a cavalry sword. Only I never had a horse until I found Arion. And I don't think they were too keen on letting me join the cavalry. Arion can run faster than the speed of sound! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	decypher 2017-04-18 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	That's pretty cool. That's pretty damn amazing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goldandjewels 2017-04-18 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	It's definitely something. That is entirely true, however. He's the most amazing horse to EVER EXIST. Even if he is pretty temperamental. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	decypher 2017-04-18 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	I would love to meet him sometime. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goldandjewels 2017-04-18 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	I can at least try to arrange it. He sort of decides when he wants to show up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	decypher 2017-04-18 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	Of course. That's awesome. If my powers work, I may be able to talk to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goldandjewels 2017-04-18 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	Can you talk to horses? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	decypher 2017-04-18 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	In my dreams, I can translate and understand, then speak, any language at all. Including animals. I haven't tried it here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goldandjewels 2017-04-18 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	Really? That's kind of amazing. I don't have that sort of power. Mine aren't really all that useful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
