OOC: Revolving Reveries
Bridge (2)
3/3/10
Starting with Bridge's dream slowly made Aim start thinking. He identified personally with the feeling of helplessness at the walls closing in. Being saved in such a way also hit an interesting chord with him. He would have expected to not feel so at ease with the idea of being rescued in such a way, but the welcome feeling of friendship seemed to negate it. He also identified all too well with the momentary fear of losing a friend but refusing to accept it.
He recognized a number of people from the dream- most of which he had met or otherwise seen in the sphere. But there was one face that he knew, without having seen them here. It truly was the face of a friend.

He almost immediately identified this dream to be his own. The lay of the land, the wind, the other figure and his voice, even the stars were familiar. It was comforting in a way he that he couldn't even begin to explain, but at the same time it had an emotionally achy undertone centering on a feeling of longing. Despite the childishness of it, when Aim awoke from this dream, he immediately wanted to close his eyes and go back to it. It wasn't enough. But as he lay there thinking about it, he knew there was no going back; both that feeling and that state of being were gone. He knew who that figure was, and he all too clearly remembered his own first dream.
Gundam (3)
3/18/10
The night this dream came, Aim had almost pushed the thoughts of the previous dream out of his head. He had found that not thinking about what life must have been like before the sphere left him considerably more at ease, but at the same time he had an undeniable desire to remember. Needless to say, receiving this dream was a mixed blessing.
This dream too was full of familiarities, but it went so fast. Even though he seemed to recognize all the faces, some parts hit closer to home than others. He recognized the purple haired man from the first dream as well, and this clenched that he must have known him before the sphere. He also recognized himself, the dreamer, and Gene. Seeing the suffering of the latter two filled him with despondence, and feeling like he was just an observer to everything and knowing he couldn't do anything about it only exasperated it.
The majority of the many people in this dream felt close, but some didn't. In the desert he saw himself again, he thought, but it could have been Gene too. Whoever it was seemed so different from either of them; he was too openly somber. There was the eye patch as well, and that hadn't made sense. The only reason he suspected it was indeed himself lay with the encouragement for the dreamer to change. The sense of relief Aim had gotten when the promise of changed was given was immense.
When Aim saw the lifeless image of the purple haired man, the feelings of the dreamer resonated in him. There was again a feeling of disbelief, and recalling this portion of the dream would always be exceedingly painful.
The word 'Gundam' also reverberated with him. While there was very little indication to what it meant within the dream, Aim knows it's important. It was the same feeling he got when he heard the name 'Veda'.
Gene (2)
3/21/10
With the first half of this dream, he was almost convinced it was his own. He easily recognized the older, muffled male voice as the one from the 2nd dream this month. While the transition from the warm comfortable home to it's cold, gloomy form was painful, by this point it was still somehow expected. None the less, it didn't make it any easier to bear.
It was with the second half that he recognized the dream must belong to Gene. The interaction between him and the (ever recurring) purple haired man (Seriously this is the 3rd dream he's been on) felt too different, and the man's disposition was a dead giveaway.
Staring out at the stars is also a recurring theme. Thinking about it, to Aim this has come to represent a conglomerate feeling of loneliness and freedom.
Paladin
3/30/10
This dream was not like the others, and in a way because of that it was easier to take. Aim didn't even have a clue who's dream it was until the final word. It was mostly after the end, and looking back on the symbolism and the way things happened that he felt he could identify with it. Finding a weapon as a guiding beacon, and feeling it is a part of you despite it being so negative was something that he had felt from the first time he held a gun in the sphere. After pondering it a bit more, Aim would stop to consider precisely what a paladin is, and find that he can commiserate. Fighting for the betterment of things, despite the risks involved for oneself is something he realizes he can easily understand.
