I've had this dream before. It's still strange---to see my mother and sisters so far away.

I wonder if things have changed.

A lucid dreamer?

[shiningdown]

Only for this one.

[an_alkahest]

Put it down, if when you wake up.

[shiningdown]

I suppose I'll have to. Waking up is like putting it down.

For another decade or so.

[stargathering]

What dream did you have?

[shiningdown]

One of a place calling itself City---with a carousel and as many people it seemed as I've seen on the whole of the world below. Pocketed though, as if circled in by an invisible line.

There was someone who knew me----a boy.

Tristan, I think.

I didn't believe him at the time, but when I think of it as a dream again, it makes sense. Doesn't it? Or are people dreams and star dreams different?

[stargathering]

I see... I don't know anyone named Tristan, but you aren't dreaming now... It does sound like a dream when you say it like that, though. This is a different world entirely...

Is Tristan someone you knew from before?

[shiningdown]

He thought that I ought to----know him, that is.

[chessmastering]

It isn't a dream, though.

[shiningdown]

How can you be certain?

[chessmastering]

Because I'm not asleep. And I wasn't the last time I was here, either.

[shiningdown]

Haven't you ever dreamt you were awake?

Is it a nice dream?

1/2

[shiningdown]

It was very nice.

[shiningdown]

But now it's been pointed out to me that it isn't one.

I still like it though. I like talking to people. It's wonderful.

[had_not_lived]

Well, no, it isn't. But it's not a bad way to think of it, sometimes it feels like one. I never knew stars could...

Do you dream often? Not this place, but-- other things?
