Dreams

Comments

[vile_queen]

It is impossible to plan here? Entirely so?

[lockeandshock]

When did I say anything about planning, Mona Lisa?

[vile_queen]

Dreams are often also goals. One plans for this. And you have me at a disadvantage, as you know my name, and I do not know yours.

[lockeandshock]

I am Locke. And you appear to misunderstand my words. Where in my statements did I ever say that dreams are unattainable?

la la la. Spamwhee.

[spandexisyouth]

You can form families, and have families, and care about people. And maybe wanting to keep your precious people is stupid but I have been called stupid before and for this I am willing to be called it again.

I will do much to keep those I care about safe.

[lockeandshock]

Why are you telling me this?

[spandexisyouth]

Because if people want their family, if that is their dream, there is nothing wrong with that. And if someone works for that dream, there is nothing wrong with that either. Dreams mean a great deal.

[lockeandshock]

Dreams are but fabrications, are they not?

[ice_echani]

I do not know much of words, but I do not think it wise to equate one's goals with the random imaginings that our brains generate while we sleep. Our birth dreams may be difficult to interpret, but I believe they have more truth to them, though they may show the past rather than the future.

I hold no illusions that this place is normal. I have goals, and I will gladly risk myself for them.

[lockeandshock]

I see you are unfamiliar with figurative language, Brianna. Dreams and goals are often considered the same thing. Likewise, dreams are often naught but our unconscious surfacing whilst our defenses are done. Very freudian.

What is your goal?

[ice_echani]

I am familiar with it. I simply have little use for it. A dream is an illusion created by the unconscious mind, an impossibility. You might even say that Edensphere resembles a dream more than anything we could achieve.

To learn and spread knowledge.

[lockeandshock]

My, such a practical woman. You have lofty goals.

How do you intend to accomplish this?

[hooksandlines]

Civilizations built on dreams? Piece by piece, block by block. A lot like the pyramids, eh?

Pyramids were also built on the back-breaking work of busy little people buzzing around as instructed. We had some of that not long ago, didn't we? Not the same kind of work, not really, but oh. The obedience was there.

[lockeandshock]

Like any structure, whether it be literal or figurative. If you look at anything, it is built by those squashed beneath the heel of the oppressor.

Obedience is what every efficient leader dictator looks for.

[hooksandlines]

Squashed or replaced like the toys a brat's grown tired of. All the same to some grand high muckity muck! But new little dolls fell flat and that's worth a laugh.

I had the notion the efficient ones achieved it.

[lockeandshock]

A laugh indeed. How long, I wonder, before it happens again?

Looks, not has. HE is a mockery of a leader.

[Oh she is watching this like a boss, but biding her time to see if there's something she can pounce on.]

[Dreams of a building a better civilisation though? That seems naggingly familiar to her]
