Oh yes. A nightmare if you will, one that drains the ideas out of the dreamer to fill up its pages with horrors. A manifestation of the fear of being sucked dry in life, usually, and having nothing to leave behind. I’ve seen some get quite creative in combating it, and hope it helped them upon waking to face that unsettlement.


I know, and I am grateful for it. Even if I ever get grumpy in the moment over it.


… he is more astute than often gets credit for being. It’s true that the Dreaming does reflect my mood. I don’t directly cause it intentionally, but it… senses my disposition. I suppose you do make me feel… warmer, than I might otherwise.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Oh wow, that's both frightening to think of but also strangely fascinating.

It's okay, you're kind of cute when you get grumpy. ;)

Warmer and more sunshiney?

[shadowtruths]

I enjoyed creating them quite a bit.


That sounds like a fair reason to stick with my disposition.


You do make my world brighter.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Oh you created them, I thought this was just a creature you knew about.

Works for me, I'm just going to start kissing the grump away.

You're making me blush, Dream.

[shadowtruths]

No, I take credit in this instance for their creation. I admit I was rather proud of them, even.


[Sweetest little nightmare book vampires that ever existed in his eyes.]


I see no flaw in your dastardly plan, save if I became too cheerful I think others might worry.


I consider that encouragement.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Are you ever not proud of the nightmares or dreams you create?

Somehow I doubt that will ever happen. ;)

It is.

[shadowtruths]

Unfortunately.

Your faith in me is admirable, I hope I never give you reason to have misplaced it.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Do you ever revise them?

I'm sure you won't.

[shadowtruths]

At times, yes. Some are simply unmade, but when I can salvage a spectral and rebuild it from there, I do.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Do they ever remember what they used to be before?

[shadowtruths]

With time, usually yes to varying degrees. If I plan on remaking them then a shard of themselves is kept in my keeping, to build from as a foundation. It doesn't happen often, though.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Hrm interesting.
What's the cutest dream or nightmare you've ever made?

[shadowtruths]

The book vampires, of course.


The flying fish come a close second, but there’s simply something novel about the former.


[No he won’t acknowledge nor apologize for what he just did there.]

[dawn_is_breaking]

I love those little flying fish, for obvious reasons.

Nice Dad joke by the way. XD

[shadowtruths]

There is something to them, isn’t there? Not bragging, I didn’t invent the themes, but a fish flying captures many yearnings and trappings all at once. They are my youngest sister’s favorite too, by the way. She has named each one and won’t tell me a single one of them.

If you found a joke then you went hunting, and I know better than to disturb such efforts. [Admits nothing, nope.]

If you could create a dream or nightmare, what would you be inspired to make?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Why won't she tell you? Just to bug you or because she forgot them?

Hrm that's a good question, I think if I could create a dream I would want it to be something gentle and soothing. Something that brings comfort to people when they encounter it.

[shadowtruths]

Knowing Delirium? Either is possible.

I’m envisioning a warm cloud full of sunlight’s warmth that dispels jazz music instead of raindrops. Which is, entirely, my own preferences.

[dawn_is_breaking]

If that's your vision then it says a lot about you, especially the jazz part.

[shadowtruths]

I now have to inquire, what does the jazz say about me?

[dawn_is_breaking]

I'm not sure exactly, it's more that I never had you pegged as a jazz fan.

[shadowtruths]

No? What musical appreciation impression do I present?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Classical. For sure.
And maaaaaaaaaaaaybe sad goth music like The Cure.

[shadowtruths]

I knew you were going to say the latter.

Death told me the same thing once.

[dawn_is_breaking]

I'm sorry dearest, but you do kind of look like the lead singer of an 80's goth band.

[shadowtruths]

More people should wear easy to match colors and not bother with combs. It's sensible.

[Not at all a dramatic statement.]

I wore black before Goth was invented, you know.
