DreamEternal Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) @Morzathoth: feel free to do so. It is a surprisingly good hook indeed. @Delightful: well, I do have a fitting name IRL... ps: what is DoSaB? EDIT: @Morzathoth: it wasn't simply about personal space. Feeling like I need more personal space is normal to me. It was more surreal. Like... if I only noticed I had a limb after I lost it, perhaps. I... I actualy tried to poke with my pen the place one if my wings should be, while imagining as vividly as possible how it should feel like. I had a similar experience before, but it wasn't about something as... great and non-human as wings. Edited April 20, 2016 by DreamEternal 1

It is so strange and surreal and I just love it. What kind of wings were they? Because Im imagining you breaking to reveal a human/butterfly-esque creature. 1

Zathoth Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 No, they were bird wings. They were red, I think. Or white. Or something in between. I still really like that image so I'll probably use it for something... Maybe there is some weird mental symbolism here, dream symbolism in waking life... did anyone else feel that draft of dread just now? The "Oh crem the waking world and the dream world are merging"? Now you gave me two good ideas.

Now you gave me two good ideas. Funny thing, this reminds me of the fact I generally can fly in my dreams, but never had a dream in which I had wings.However, I did have a weird nocturnal paralysis episode/ half-conscious hallucination in which several slender beings made of shadow watched me. Maybe they are the ones who started the merging? EDIT: Morzathoth, have you ever read Sleepwalking Land? It is set in Mozambique in the end of the civil war, and uses the merging of dreams, tales and reality to create a very strong air of lostness and surreality. Edited April 20, 2016 by DreamEternal 1

DreamEternal Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Ah, sorry. It seems I misplaced a rock. Please, your computer has 2 dimensions. You'd need an imaginary number of them to simulate me.EDIT: Kobold: My hallucinations told me to tell you they are more real than most people. Edited April 20, 2016 by DreamEternal

I can't seem to get the flying down, even when I am lucid.It is pretty frustrating XD Could be. Shadow beings and sleep paralysis seems to go hand in hand from the stories Ive heard though No, but now I need to. I'll put that on my to read list. Thanks. Ah, sorry. It seems I misplaced a rock. I love xkcd XD Why is this night so Za... I'll go on a rant on Za tomorrow when I come home from work, but this night has just been so Za... Dream Eternal started it... It more or less translates to "Divine Weirdness" so I dont leave everyone completely confused, but really, I should sleep...
DreamEternal Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 No, but now I need to. I'll put that on my to read list. Thanks. I think it is public domain now(well, in portuguese it is, so it should be in english, right?), so you could just download a pdf and read the first few chapters to see if you like it. Why is this night so Za... I'll go on a rant on Za tomorrow when I come home from work, but this night has just been so Za... Dream Eternal started it... You are welcome. 1

And maybe I'll write a rant on a strange feeling that makes no sense after I get home from work tomorrow...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) When I moved, I made a vow that I would not obsess over how to decorate. I'd put up the pictures I'd already bought, and I'd stick with a basic theme for each area of my apartment, but I wouldn't worry about making everything look perfect. Then I bought a Marauder's Map shower curtain, and noticed the walls looked a little bare. So I went to Amazon. And then I went to Etsy. And I found this. So much for my vow.

Sunbird she/her Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Independence and free range have driven you mad, Twi! Independence has driven me mad as well. Since I moved away from my parents, I have bought way more wall art than I have places to hang it and filled up two entire bookshelves plus several more shelves above my desk with books. (Not to mention the bazillions of books on my Kindle or the 2 more six-foot bookcases full of books that are still back in my bedroom at my parents' house.) I have so many funny and geeky T-shirts (mostly from TeeTurtle and Hot Topic) that some of them go months at a time without being worn. One year I bought a fully functional longbow made from PVC pipe for my Halloween costume, and since I started attending Salt Lake Comic Con in 2014 I've put together six separate cosplay outfits. Also, Twi, I read the first 6 chapters of your Harry Potter fanfic tonight (I've forgotten the title; forgive me!) and have really enjoyed it so far. I'll be reading the rest when I have time. 1
