Kingdom of Knuffel

BUT AREN'T CLOTHES UNNATURAL, TOO? THAT SETTLES IT; WE MUST BECOME LIKE ADAM AND EVE AND BE NUDE ALL THE TIME.

Holy shit, some AI work, there!

waaaa, what game is that, Moi?


(Also, Zia, that sounds like a super scary dream!)

! Definitely more nightmare than dream! Did your poor swimming-mate also get tight to the skyscraper to be executed or did she kind of disappear in the scene change, as dreams sometimes do?

Dreams are so funny like that. I think the most powerful superhero power would be to be able to do scene changes like those that happen in dreams, where the people around it just accept it or don't even consciously register that there was a change.

I love comics and stories that take place partly in the dream realm because the possibilities are so intriguingly surreal. But I don't think I want to read about a whole novel in your dreamland, yours is too scary!

Yeah, the superpower I usually get sucks. I get the power of flight in my dreams (had it when Moi turned into a zombie) but it's not like flying in superhero movies but more like floating in water. But slower. Like you're swimming in molasses.

Ooh! There's a webcomic called Yu + Me that was inspired by one of the author's dreams. It starts off teenager-angsty but it gets pretty good after. And I like all the style changes it goes through.

The dream last night wasn't too bad. There was a portion of it where I was in the ocean and something was pulling people into the water, but the majority of it was going from places to places and having a nice date with my boyfriend. We went to an amusement park, we were going to go to the top of a building and drink while listening to live music (that didn't pan out because dream scene-changes) and then we got invited to a cake buffet. The person who invited us went and ordered all these cakes before we got there but didn't show up so we figured he was sticking us with the cheque but I don't know... the cakes looked super delicious... but we didn't get to eat any because I woke up at that point.

Maybe it was a thief dressed as a guard

Two what?

Oh, wow. That is pretty graphic. I don't think there was a death that wasn't just glossed over in my dreams, as terrible as they were. Which character were you?

I've felt pain in dreams before, too. The most memorable one was when I fell into a pit of snakes and startled myself awake and I could feel my pillow wriggling under my head like it was full of snakes.

Ahhh, you guys have heads that are scary places!

I've only ever felt pain in dreams when one of my limbs has fallen asleep (which, since the pain wakes me up, I always notice and have to move to get rid of it), but sometimes the dream version really doesn't match at all.

Like the dream where I was dead and a ghost and zipping around a room disguised as a clear plastic zip-tie (my dreams are not always logical) and arguing with my brother that I WAS TOO dead, couldn't he see I was flying right through him? and then he says, "nuh-uh" (which is something my brother has never uttered in his life, and utterly out of character) and catches me in his suddenly giant hand like I'm some tiny firefly, and he sticks me into a jar which is somehow also an empty body, and I'm suddenly somehow possessing this rag-doll empty body, only I was put in backwards and upside down and don't fit right and I'm aggressively singing at my brother (making a song get stuck in his head WAS actually something I did when I was mad at him back when we were little) to complain about it, and get a charlie horse in my left foot, and I wake up and it's my right hand that has fallen asleep and gone completely numb, and in that moment between waking and sleeping my mind goes, "Of course! Because he put me in upside down and that's where my foot was!"

Which makes no sense.





edit: Zia, you found my weakness! I followed the link thinking I would bookmark it and read it later and now I'm on page 525....
