you know after the past few days i think im finally getting that this is all real
that im not dreaming that i woke up in outer space and went to a planet where magic is real
does that make sense?

i guess what im trying to say is i suddenly realize that i was sleeping in a real bed in a real house and ate real food
but at the same time i cant completely accept it yet
and its confusing

i know it sounds pretty dumb but thats how I feel

I still don't know if any of this is real, but I think I'm just not going to worry about it. I'll focus on what I can control.

sounds like a plan
if it is all a dream doesnt mean i should stay home and be bored
thats like the opposite of the point of dreaming

[zanarkandian]

Yeah! Dreams are for doing all the wild stuff you want. Like...racing chocobos or partying all night.

Or maybe some kind of adventure.

i once had a dream i was a boxing champ
if thats the case i should try out for a tournament
thatll prove if its real or not

[zanarkandian]

Yeah, but don't most people just pinch themselves? Not that that always works, but...

It's hard to know. Your way might do it, actually. Any other dreams you had?

["I dreamt that Mom was alive and my family didn't go through all that" is a strong dream, but he's not ready to cry yet. Life sucks, and he's looking for positive experiences.]

eating
flying
normal things
hanging out with my best bro

[zanarkandian]

Huh. The flying's the only thing that's pretty weird, but do people do that where you come from?

[righthandstand]

the flyings not normal but who doesnt dream about flying
if all i came up with was boring shit thatd be weird

[zanarkandian]

Huh. I don't remember my dreams much anymore, but there were a lot of fish at one point.

But I think we should probably assume we're not dreaming. Because if we aren't, there's a lot at stake to mess up here.
