Summary: A catch-all log for what dreams are available for people to walk through at night.
The Story:

♥ As of Wednesday, the 19th, all beds in the Mansion (no matter their style or cultural/temporal origin) have been replaced with swinging beds.

♥ But starting Thursday, the 20th, sleeping in the new beds induces vivid dreams, and characters sleeping at the same time will be able to walk into each others' dreams. If a character is a spoilsport and doesn't sleep in the swinging beds, he or she doesn't get to dream walk.

♥ Characters will be able to dreamwalk until Thursday, the 27th.

♥ Leave a description of your characters' dream (or dreams) in top levels on this post so others can comment and walk into their dream, if they choose to go exploring other people's dreams!

♥ Questions? Please ask them over here at the FAQ post for the event! And have fun!

"I guess that's true." Souji rolls his shoulders in a motion that's half shrug, half working out some kink in his back. "I thought it would be a good explanation for why we don't have unicorns or dragons."

[thepointisdolphins]

"That too, of course." He swishes his tail. "Unicorns--I don't know about dragons, honestly--and a fair few other species. It was all a bit of a mess, really. Entirely unnecessary, but that's just my opinion."

[eatsyourscience]

"I agree."

Souji just doesn't understand a God who gives people free will and then gets mad when they do what they want--he loves them but also kills them? Souji doesn't get it. Where he comes from, gods usually only get mad at humans because the humans did something to insult them directly. That makes more sense to him.

"I read somewhere that the story might have been meant to explain regional floods, and didn't literally mean a world-wide flood."

[thepointisdolphins]

Crowley would partially agree if thinking about it didn't make him so uncomfortable. He was asking this very question of Aziraphale all the way back in the Beginning. And if you take the idea that it's all really part of some ineffable Plan, and everything that happens is part of that Plan, then you have to wonder if all the Evil you'd done was ever really Evil.

Not really a fun thing to think about when you're a demon.

"Oh, it is. The Euphrates and Tigris used to flood all the time, and not predictably like the Nile. But the thing I've noticed is that all the stories and all those things that happened were both reality and parable. Everything from back then is sort of meant to be that way, I think. I can tell you there was a flood and an Ark and a right bastard named Noah, but did he really have every animal in there? Did the flood really cover the entire world? It certainly seemed to at the time."

He rolls his coils in the snake equivalent of a shrug.

"It's best to let the humans choose what they want to believe."

[eatsyourscience]

"I guess so." It's got Souji wondering, though, about the Japanese islands and where they came from and whether or not there's a place called Yomi somewhere under them.

"Are you going to stay here? In the garden?"

[thepointisdolphins]

He bobs his head. "For now, I think so. I rather like this dream; don't really have it all that often."

He considers Souji for a moment, as well as the sudden flurry of gigantic blue butterflies that pour into the clearing.

"You're welcome to stay, if you want."

[eatsyourscience]

That gets a small smile from Souji, though the butterflies have most of his attention. They make him feel rather nostalgic.

Once they've settled a bit, though, he looked back at Crowley.

"It's okay if I look around?" He didn't want to intrude.

[thepointisdolphins]

He smiles a little, which looks weird on a snake. "Go ahead. Knock yourself out."

[eatsyourscience]

"Thanks."

Souji gives a small wave and goes to check this place out. Even if it's not exactly like the original Garden, it's still more amazing than just about anything else Souji has ever seen.
