What do you dream about?

[You got Sandy's attention, Akito.]

[The viewscreen is enthusiastically filled with spaceships and flowers and fantastical sea creatures and planes and suns and moons and puppies and birds and just about any other lovely thing someone might be able to, well, dream up.]

[The Sandman is, after all, a prodigy of good dreams.]

[Video]

[akito]

[ for all that he looks tired, akito's smile is enthusiastic as he watches the sandman's little show. ]

Nothing but good things? Always?

[infourbooks]

Nothing good, lately.

[attention_wenches]

You most assuredly do not want to know.

text

[akito]

You can ask the Sandman for good dreams if you need them.

audio;

[akito]

I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want to know.

[attention_wenches]

Dreams, as a rule, are either dull or unpleasant. Silly thing to dredge up.

[akito]

If you ever want an exciting, pleasant dream, you can always ask the Sandman.

[attention_wenches]

The what now?

[He's picking up a few humanisms, linguistically.]

[akito]

The Sandman. You met him when he first got here... When we all woke up from the, um... pods?

[attention_wenches]

That's right, we were introduced. I don't think we got as far as... dreams?

[Everyone was a bit busy at the time, and Loki never really tried to make up the deficit.]

[akito]

He's the Guardian of Dreams. He gives children good dreams, and makes sure to keep nightmares away.

The Sandman? Can he get rid of bad dreams?

text

[akito]

The Sandman! Sanderson Mansnoozie. He is the Guardian of Dreams. He crafts good dreams for children, and keeps nightmares away. It's his job to get rid of bad dreams.

Are you dreaming about things that happen?

text

[akito]

Like memories?

Re: text

[unofficial_ambassador]

No.

Maybe?

Someone else's memories.

text

[akito]

I don't sleep very often.
When I do I have dreams I think are from my life Before
If that's what you mean?

Re: text

[unofficial_ambassador]

I don't think that's it. It's new. I see things in my dreams and then they happen.

[attention_wenches]

I suspect I'm a half-dozen centuries too late for his purview, then.

[genoshas_general]

In my sleep? Nothing too meaningful. Sometimes I dream about home, but it's usually just me going about daily activities.

[akito]

Just because you might not be a child anymore doesn't mean he won't give you good dreams. If he knows you're having bad dreams, I know he would do his best to keep them away.

[ Sandy has the best reputation ok ]

text

[akito]

Premonitions?
I don't know much about dreams...
The Sandman would be the best to ask, since he might have some answers!

text

[akito]

Sometimes those can be the best kind of dreams though.
At least that's what I think.

Re: text

[infourbooks]

Sounds like a good person to have around.

[attention_wenches]

[But being sullen and refusing to do anything about it is Loki's whole schtick.]

I'm sure a magical dream spirit has plenty to do in his own realm of influence.

Re: text

[unofficial_ambassador]

Who is the Sandman? Another of your spirits?

[akito]

He's much less busy here. There aren't as many children.

text

[akito]

He's one of the most powerful spirits.
The only one I know for sure is stronger than the Sandman is the Man in the Moon.

text

[akito]

One of the best!
As far as I know at least

Re: text

[infourbooks]

Does he know how to tell if a dream means something?

[voice; private]

[girlworthfighting]

Not very much to tell the truth. Nonsense. When I am remember them.

Though sometimes I dream about my family, and home. From growing up. Those are good dreams, even if they're fleeting.

Re: text

[unofficial_ambassador]

I see. Is he here?

text

[akito]

Dreams are his domain
So I imagine he would be able to help interpret their meanings!

text

[akito]

He is, yes!

[voice; private]

[akito]

When Miss Toothiana was here I talked with her and... I think some of my dreams are the same. Memories, ne? Though I'm not sure.

I'm happy that you're having good dreams!

[voice; private]

[girlworthfighting]

I'm happy too, to tell the truth. But how are you not sure whether or not they're memories?

[Sandy nods, then bows elaborately. Always. He ponders for a moment, then types. Some concepts are just too hard to translate from sand-pictures.]
