Way off-topic... I dream of Surges

[Oudeis he/him]

So I had this dream. Some old dude had some manner of magic, but also splitting headaches. Seemed totally random for most of the dream. Then, in a big reveal at one point towards the end, I learned that some people are Radiant-like, but instead of having side-by-side Surges, they have opposing Surges that are always directly opposed. But, the dichotomy always gives the Surgebinder splitting headaches with no cure. I think the old man ended up having Light and Dark as his Surges, but just before I woke up I learned that Dark wasn't a Surge... at least, not a Surge on the normal table. If it existed anywhere, it was probably a power of Voidbinding.

 

So then, for some reason which made little sense to me, we decided to find all of the Conflicted Radiants. We somehow got word that one of them was this very young, six-year-old boy. We thought he had the Surge of Math, so we handed him a math test but he just drew all over it. We were about to give up but one of my companions studied what he was drawing, and realized that there were patterns, and the patterns always pointed towards a specific number, and that number was the answer to whichever question he'd drawn all over. A lot of times it was a graphic representation that showed the work more simply and concretely than equations, like drawing vectors instead of describing them. So we knew he was a Conflicted Radiant and.... then we were sad cuz he was gonna have headaches his whole life and there was nothing we could do about it.

 

And then my mom walked past and said, "Oh yeah, your sister's friend has these two opposing Surges." Then she described them both but I only remember one of them, he could make himself popular so people did what he wanted. "What, you didn't know that?" And I was all, "...Mom?"

 

Then I went to use the restroom but their house was like two city blocks long and it took me forever.

 

Kay that's my dream.

Yeah, you might consider cutting back on the amount of Melatonin you take at night.

[Argent he/him]

Yeah, you might consider cutting back on the amount of Melatonin you take at night.

 

I think you mean... melatium?

[Oudeis he/him]

I think you mean... melatium?

 

You forgot to dramatically put on sunglasses as you said that.
