[ Allison doesn't like the idea of worrying anyone around her but she can't really take the nightmares anymore. So when she appears on the feed, she looks tired. As in she looks rather pale at the moment which makes the dark shadows under her eyes a little more pronounced since she hasn't done anything to hide them yet. She is also sitting up in her bed, running a hand lightly over the back of a puppy that is draped over her lap. ]

I know we all have a lot to think about lately with the guards and the wall or whatever is beyond the wall but has anyone else been having...dreams? Or nightmares?

[ She looks away for a second, frowning to herself. ]

I keep having the same one over and over. I don't really remember a lot when I wake up but I feel like I'm being chased and then there is a really loud noise. Like an explosion.

[ A small sigh escapes her as she leans back against the headboard of her bed, looking frustrated. ]

I wish I could remember all of it. I feel like maybe things would make sense if I could.

The key word being 'Maybe'.

I keep thinking someone else mentioned weird dreams a while back, but I can't remember who.


Are you okay?

[nosuchthingasfate]

I thought someone did too but I can't remember.

Yeah, I'm just a bit shaky.

[he_who_dwells]

I can imagine. Even with the vague recollection of that dream, it sounds awful.

[nosuchthingasfate]

It's not the weirdest dream I've ever had but...I'm kind of hoping they stop soon. I've been getting it almost every night now.

It makes me not want to sleep.

I have nightmares sometimes but for me its more home-related nightmares.

[It was not something she liked to have every so often.]

[nosuchthingasfate]

[ Allison gives a look of understanding as she nods. ]

That's got to be hard, especially with being trapped here.

Re: video;

[gamerrep]

It's stressful if one wants to move on from it.

[But she did understand why she got them. It was a bad memory.]

As for your nightmares do you think there is a reason behind them? Like with mine it's from something that happened. Do you think your nightmares are from something like a memory?

[nosuchthingasfate]

Or if they can, I guess.

[ She pauses, considering the question. ]

Maybe? It doesn't feel like a bad dream at first, I don't think.

[gamerrep]

You mean it starts off nice then turns into a bad one?

[nosuchthingasfate]

Kind of, yeah.

[gamerrep]

Thats some of the worst kinds.

[nosuchthingasfate]

They are since they lull you into a false sense of security before smacking you upside the head.

[gamerrep]

[She nodded, mostly to herself.]

Dreams are horrible like that. But I do hope that you can sleep well at some point.

[learningtolove]

That sounds awful. I haven't had any myself.

[But then Beast tends to sleep like the dead, especially since he spends most of his free time trying to deal with all the problems of his fixer-upper.]

[nosuchthingasfate]

Well, that's good. At least we know that it's not happening to everyone then.

[ She wishes she could sleep...well, maybe not like the dead. That might hit a bit too close to home. ]

[learningtolove]

Does it seem like whatever is chasing you in the dream wants to hurt you? Or just catch you?

[There's a distinct difference and Beast's predator instincts are keen enough to know the difference.]

[nosuchthingasfate]

[ She bites the inside of her cheek as she tries to think back to the dream, trying to grasp onto any details. ]

...Both?

[learningtolove]

Hmmm. It sounds like a malicious creature of some sorts.

[Granted, some might be quick to foist such a title onto the Beast though he's never actually harmed another person, even if he has come close once or twice.]

[nosuchthingasfate]

[ People wouldn't think that Allison was one of those 'creatures' that might harm someone but she has. She knows how looks can be deceiving but not dreams. ]

I just wish I could remember more.

[ She sounds a bit frustrated at herself. ]

[learningtolove]

Give it time. I heard somewhere that if you keep a pen and paper by your bed, you can write details down as soon as you wake up, and remember more that way.

If there anything like the dreams that I used to have, then I don't think they'd make much sense even if you did remember.

...you gonna be okay?

[nosuchthingasfate]

Did the dreams start when you got here?

I think so, yeah. Just...need to shake it off.

[idontgetpaid]

Not right away. Maybe after a month or so after I got here? But I haven't had any of them for a while.

All right. If you wanna talk, though, I'm down to listen.

[nosuchthingasfate]

So when we got to the city after the beach place?

Thank you, I appreciate it. I just wish I could remember it clearly. It just gets jumbled every time I wake up, almost like I'm not supposed to remember.

[idontgetpaid]

Yeah a little bit after that.

My dreams were like that too. They'd fade after a while, and all the details got fuzzy. I barely remember any of them now.

[nosuchthingasfate]

I don't know if I should be relieved to hear that or not.

It's weird that it's happened to a couple of us now. It's like someone is really trying to tell us something.

Maybe I should try writing down as much as I can when I first wake up.

[idontgetpaid]

That might be a good idea. I kinda wish I remembered more of the dreams I was having before they stopped.

[nosuchthingasfate]

I wonder why we can't remember or where the dreams are coming from. Are they a prophecy or a memory? A warning?

[idontgetpaid]

Maybe a bit of all of the above? It's hard to say, until we get more information about where they're coming from, or if the dreams are even related.
