Well that was entirely annoying and inconvenient. I'm just glad my memories are back. Nearly a full week without them beyond the basics was tiresome.

Even so. It seems that after nearly six years, my Dreams have come to an actual end. It's...strange and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. I suppose relieved. Especially as, despite everything, it mostly ended positively which I never thought possible. Still, it is strange. Especially the notion that I would actually retire, though it's clear I'm still doing things on the side either as a consultant or...something.

	How do you know the dreams are finished? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	needanewplan 2021-01-23 02:25 am UTC (link)
	A sense of finality. There were Dreams that seemed like they could have ended, or it was a good spot to and yet the feeling that more to come remained. That feeling isn't there this time. I've also had two sets, so I'm more familiar with that sense of finality and recognise it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess that makes sense. When I woke up in the middle of being hanged and didn't know if I lived or died, I felt like there was more. And there was. Spoiler alert, I didn't die. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needanewplan 2021-01-23 02:40 am UTC (link)
	I would say that's unsurprising as they continued. But honestly, death isn't even final or an end from what I've experienced. The rules we understand here are far different when it comes to the Dreams. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are not wrong about that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needanewplan 2021-01-23 02:52 am UTC (link)
	I should hope not after being here for nearly six years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Seems like a long time to be dealing with the dreams. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needanewplan 2021-01-23 02:57 am UTC (link)
	Oh it is. And very tiresome. And yet I also know there are people who have been dealing with them even longer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	awarinyourhead 2021-01-23 03:08 am UTC (link)
	I had my first in April I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needanewplan 2021-01-23 03:17 am UTC (link)
	Well, they could either take a long time or not a long time. There doesn't seem to be any sort of pattern that I've discerned to figure out an average length of time the Dreams last. Or I should specify new Dreams as repeats can happen at any time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	awarinyourhead 2021-01-23 03:41 am UTC (link)
	I've had a few repeats. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needanewplan 2021-01-23 03:50 am UTC (link)
	As have I. Especially when there were lulls between new Dreams. Or just if they were related to something going on in the waking world. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Somehow, I can't see you retiring. But glad to have you back. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	needanewplan 2021-01-23 05:01 am UTC (link)
	On the one hand, I get it. Fitz and I have a daughter. So something more stable and not as life threatening is necessary. On the other hand? It feels...odd. Though as it seems like I am doing consulting work that’s classified, I suppose I’m not entirely out of the game. So am I. Sorry about all of that, but thank you for helping me.

	~~That feels like if me and Clint had a kid, all kinds of wrong~~ In the grand scheme of things, there have certainly been worse times. Was kind of fun watching you fall in love with your lab again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needanewplan 2021-01-23 03:09 pm UTC (link)
	Oh there certainly have been, and now I remember them. And I can imagine. Then again when in doubt, put me in a lab. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	'When in doubt put you in a lab' never a truer statement has been typed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needanewplan 2021-01-24 03:45 am UTC (link)
	A truth universally accepted, etc. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Did it help at all? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needanewplan 2021-01-24 04:01 am UTC (link)
	In its own way, yes. Even if nothing else made sense, at least there was a science lab. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Or something like that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Back? You lost your memory? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	needanewplan 2021-01-23 03:09 pm UTC (link)
	I did. Tied to the Dreams, naturally. But I really only knew my name, the basics needed to survive. But people, why I was here, everything related to Orange County? Gone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lifesacircus 2021-01-24 07:28 am UTC (link)
	Are you okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needanewplan 2021-01-24 02:42 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, I'm fine. Annoyed that there was work I could have been doing had I remembered people and all, but that's easy enough to remedy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lifesacircus 2021-01-25 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	If you're sure, I'm around to listen if that changes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needanewplan 2021-01-26 12:18 am UTC (link)
	Thank you, Dick. I'll keep that in mind if I do need someone to listen. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Your dreams ended? How does that feel? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	needanewplan 2021-02-01 12:40 am UTC (link)
	They have. And.... strange. I mean, I've had another set of dreams end before so I know this is it. Still, it does feel strange to know this set is done as well after having dealt with them for so long. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	suburbiaphobic 2021-02-01 01:12 am UTC (link)
	I've been dreaming for so long now that at times I'm surprised mine are still going on. I'm honestly not sure what I'll do if they ever end. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needanewplan 2021-02-01 01:15 am UTC (link)
	Oh there were times I would wonder how they could keep going on or surely this was the end only for it not to be. But it actually is. So I guess now I just get to look forward to repeats. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	suburbiaphobic 2021-02-04 03:26 am UTC (link)
	At least with the repeats you know what to expect this time around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needanewplan 2021-02-04 03:29 am UTC (link)
	Basically, even if you never know which will come next since it could just jump from one to the other with no rhyme or reason. (Reply to this) (Parent)
