[video;] sanity is a madness put to good uses ; waking life is a dream controlled

[ the three dreamers are hangin' around, looking floppy and pale as usual. they're in the midst of a conversation, though it might be a little disconcerting to anyone who hears it. ]

... been thinking about dying lately. I wonder if it's different from us dying in our dreams. It's scary... but only for a second. And then maybe we'll 'wake up'?

Don't know if I'm ready to really wake up. But it doesn't seem so scary. One time, a big red face ate me in my dreams and I thought I was dead for sure... I was slashing at its face with my knife, and...

[ the conversation continues in this vein. ]

We all have the predators that chase us like we are prey...

[A thoughtful look.]

I also remember that in mine, there were these little red demons that chased me around...but they didn't harm me. Just stopped me from using my effects.

No effects?

[ Madotsuki seems perplexed by that. ]

My dreams... they follow my rules. So I wouldn't let them do that.

[Urotsuki is equally perplexed by that.]

I don't think I've met any of them that could do that before either...

[bloodpaths.insanejournal.com]

Only if they touched me, though. if they aren't touching me, I can use my effects.

[A downward glance.]

I don't know...something is very wrong with those things. They make me scared...as if being around them will cause me to die or something.

Some things in my dreams... I don't understand them, but they feel... important...

[ like the jellyfish. what did they mean? what were they trying to tell her? ]

[soulpaths.insanejournal.com]

Yeah... [A pause as she thinks about some of the other residents that lived in her dreams.]

...In my dreams, it seems like I'm always finding new things...new people too. Many of them are strange...even a little scary and unfamiliar, but...it feels like they're important, too.

[She listens as the other two talk, and a sad frown appears on her face.]

Yes...I've met somebody who was important to me in my dreams. He never talks, though. Only hurts me and smiles.

[A pause.] But yes, there are many strange things. Scary things. Lots of teeth, especially...
