Okay, so yeah, it was a matter of 'when' not 'if' I started dreaming. Great.

Yeah, years ago.. But it crops up occasionally to haunt me now and then.

It's nothing you need to apologize for. But I appreciate it. Listen, it's only going to get more complicated.. So talk to me about them yeah?

It's bad enough that you had to dream it, let alone that someone else did too.

What do you mean more complicated?

Well, silver lining is I doubt it'll come back for you as often as it does for me?

If you're dreaming that, we're connected and I'm sorry.

It’s probably only a matter of time? I’ve been here for ages and only just started dreaming. Don’t rush blissful ignorance.

Really? How long have you been here? My brother and I joined about the same time and he's already started dreaming.

[info]tjdrake_wayne

I moved here almost a year and a half ago, but I've really kept to myself and haven't spoken to many people. It took me a long time to find the network, even.

Well, if your brother's dreaming, maybe you'll start soon?

Maybe. I'm really curious though cause he and my cousin apparently dream about the same thing.

Wish I could tell you how to stop it but it seems if you stick to the area and the network, they're going to continue. I came back and hadn't even shown up on the network and a whole new set started that first night so. Yeah.

Wow, and you've been dreaming for ages, right?

When you say a new set... what does that mean, exactly?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]ofevilsfire

Six years and counting.

Basically an ending will occur, and then something else starts. Same elements, different specifics. Think like when a book gets translated into a movie or the like. Yay multiverse.

I really hope I don't have any kind of multiverse nonsense to deal with.

In the dreams, how often you cross over with people you meet in the real world?

So about that... We technically share Dreams and the multiverse plays an actual role in them. At least in one set I've had and it's the one you showed up in for me. If it's the one you're dreaming though? I can't say yet since too early for me to tell.

It depends. Some people cross paths with a lot of people they know in real life. Others spend their entire dreams without someone they know in the waking world. For me, I was the only one for a while, at least for my specific dreams given it's a rather large world. Then I met Dick, who's been in...five of the six. Or Kory who has been in four of the six for certain but I only started what I think she's dreaming of a week or so ago but I don't know since I haven't met her in them yet. Then there's another friend who dreams the same general world but I've never met him in any version. But he's mentioned others I do know of from them.

So at some point, I'll meet you in my dreams? Or I might not if there's a chance I'm dreaming of a multiverse where you don't exist?

That's a lot, I'll need a tracker of some kind.

Pretty much so.

I don't blame you. I had one going for awhile but by this point, I just shrug. It's less of a headache.

Well if you've had multiple dream sets that cover multiple realities I imagine that got complicated quickly.

Is there any tangible consistency between the multiverses? The same people/powers/places?

Raven | Tim
[info]ofevilsfire

It did. Like I said, there may be a lot of same overreaching themes/experiences. But the specifics get messy.

For the most part there have been. Abilities remain, there's always some variation of the Teen Titans. Dick and Kory are almost always there of people who are here. Only one so far has really deviated from things I have come to expect in some shape.

Dick seems to think he and I are connected in the dreams somehow too.

Since you've been here for a while: do you know if anyone's actually looked into these dreams and researched them?

Same dream world. And he seems to dream out of order, so I can't say I'm surprised.

Nothing that's provided answers when people have tried.

It does kind of seem like the norm, and those not dreaming are outliers. Which isn't comforting for newcomers.

[info]tjdrake_wayne

Not really, just means you should enjoy what time you have before you start dreaming, I guess?

I had a couple of years, but I've only just become active on this network.

[info]savioring

That's fair.

So you lived in Orange County and didn't dream until you used the network? The network should definitely come with a warning.

[info]tjdrake_wayne
2020-09-30 12:24 pm UTC (link)
yeah, I've lived around here for eighteen months or so? Enough time to make a few friends at least.

Yeah, there should be a disclaimer the first time you access it. There's a lot of information on here that most people would struggle to stomach.

How has it been? Settling in I mean.

I got the recommendation when I bought gas and complained about a late moving truck. Apparently this was the place to ask for help -which, sure it helped, but I didn't realise the dream talk wasn't all metaphors and California therapy.

It took a while, mainly because OC is very different to some of the other places I've lived. I've mostly been on the East Coast, and then places like Vermont.

Yeah, I thought it was a form of therapy too, but two of my closest friends are on here and are dreaming and I'm inclined to believe they haven't just gone insane.

[info]savioring

Yeah; I've been a few places, but California seems to breed its own kind of culture, it's a huge change just from a few states over.

Aside from mass hallucination there's really little explanation except believing them.

[info]tjdrake_wayne

I've found each area of California's slightly different too, which is even more confusing.

Yeah, and now I've experienced it myself so either someone slipped me the kool-aid or it's real.

God right, just to make you think you've got it sussed, but really you don't.

I think with this much evidence it's time to accept it. Whether we want to or not.

I've given up trying to work out how to fit in, I'm an adult now. I don't need to bother anymore.

Agreed, if you look back through the network there's often events that happen: some more dangerous than whimsical. But I've not been able to identify a pattern yet.

Thankfully most of us hit that point, or at least we should. I can't imagine being in my late 20s and still wanting to fit in.

I think I'm going to skip that. I just signed a lease and I'm not sure I want to deal with that remorse if it's bad.
