(Other than this, I mean.) Looks interesting.<br /><br />(I especially like the idea of a shared dreamworld <em>that people remember when awake</em>. I've encountered shared-dreamworld stories before, but they all involved complete amnesia (not even normal patchy dream memory, none whatsoever) of the dreamworld when awake, and sometimes the other way 'round as well.)<br /><br /><em>(also in the comment "try as I might I've never quite been able to convince the people around me that my brain does not shut off just because water is coming from my eyes. But nope - you show emotion, you've lost the argument.")</em><br /><br />I've been avoiding that thread*, so this quote is new to me. And Kristycat? (I think it's pretty safe to say you'll be reading this at some point.) <em>So much</em> this.<br /><br />(I said much the same thing myself a year or two back in a spoken conversation. One of many times I've stated the (to me) obvious and my mom had no idea what I was talking about.)<br /><br />*I recognised it as the sort of thing that causes in me not only anger, but an overwhelming temptation to blame the messenger. Ana doesn't deserve that.Brinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18034585577015417306noreply@blogger.com
