but how do you make cereal
doesnt it just come in a box

Oh I mean I just wanted her to pour me a bowl and bring it to me since I was stuck on the couch for so long.

oh ok but you dont MAKE the cereal
what even is cereal actually
i know some of its made from rice or wheat or corn but arent there things called cereal grains i mean what even is that
at what point do the elves get involved
is this what they do all year when theyre not working for santa

_{[There is a delay.]}

Are you high right now?

no this is just how i talk
try to keep up
youre the one sharing pain pill induced hallucinated conversations dude
im just wondering like
what even IS kashi

Got it.

I think they make cereal out of pencil shavings and sugar but I'm not going to complain.

nutritious
sounds legit though
i mean dont they make marshmallows out of horse hooves
pencil shavings sound way more obtainable than that

What? That can't be how marshmallows are made there aren't enough horses.

well theres other shit in there too obviously
like sugar
and
ok i dont know what else goes in marshmallows
wall insulation??

Man.

How are any of us still alive?

reversible death mostly i imagine

Oh right. That's a thing here.

and elsewhere
sometimes

From what I hear that isn't too weird in other worlds.

nah take it from me
complete resurrection?
always fucking weird
POSSIBLE maybe under the right circumstances
but still biologically and existentially bizarre

I can imagine.

I hope that isn't what actually happened when I broke my foot.

was it still broken when you woke up

It was very broken.

then yeah you were probably fine mortally speaking
ive found that most revivification processes tend to take care of non lethal injuries as a matter of course

Well that's a relief.

yup
also probably you would have dreamed about dying repeatedly instead of having nice conflict dreams about your cereal yearnings
the more your brain tries to block traumatic shit out the more it appears in stupid yet persistent subconscious ways
my ex taught me that

Do I want to know how they knew?

oh mind stuff was just her thing
like messing with peoples heads and crap
she wanted to be some kind of alien lawyer investigator hybrid and i guess psychology comes in useful when youre interrogating suspects until they confess to whatever you want them to

_{[Well that's a little terrifying. He wonders if that's why she's his 'ex' now.]}

Oh. That's cool I guess.

yeah she was alright
kind of miss her insane horseshit
her and my sister
rose used to be so into that jungian dream analysis bull shed be all over this post
your unconscious craving for wheatie os probably represented some repressed feelings about your mother and or a desperate need for carbohydrates in your diet

Maybe she'll show up here some day.

I don't think that's it. My mom and I get along fine.

then either its a metaphor about your sexuality or i got nothing
psychology
moms and homoerotic boners
if theres anything else to it i dont know about it

I will look into that thanks.

welc
anyway thats all ive got to share because my lucid nightmares arent anything to write home about

...fortunately no, because I make sure I have a Munna around for this exact reason.

[He has enough stress as a teenager he doesn't want to dream about being upset about cereal of all things.]

_{[A Munna...he thinks he's seen one of those.]}

Tell me more.

It's a Pokemon that feeds on dreams, both good and bad. Though, mine tends to take care of nightmares specifically.

That sounds incredible. Do you know where I could catch one? I would also gladly buy an egg if you ever bred yours.

Mine was given to me, so I'm not sure where they are in the wild. As for breeding.

[...]

I'm not exactly fond of the process.

[There's a story here, Henry.]

Oh. I can ask around then. Thanks so much for telling me about them. Is it something you have to teach them to do?

No, it's a natural thing as far as I know. They'll eat dreams that both people and Pokemon have. It's an unusual Psychic type.

I feel like I might miss having good dreams but if I can get rid of nightmares, I'm game.

I suppose you could always sleep without your Munna out on occasion, but then you would be risking having nightmares too.

That's true. I do tend to have them more often when I'm stressed so I could always do some trial and error.

Mm. I used to have them frequently, but not anymore so long as my Munna is out.

If I have any other questions, I'll let you know.

...Is that a usual reaction for you, or was it unique?
Was your subconscious rebelling against hospital food or something?

Edited 2016-04-28 02:19 (UTC)

I've never broken anything before my foot so I couldn't tell you. I sure did want that cereal though.

Any cereal? Or some specific type cereal, whether or not it existed in this world?
I mean, if you're going to dream about cereals, might as well make them special cereals. The most perfect cereals that have ever graced the earth.

Jigglypuff Puffs proably. That's waht we usually have in the house.

Could have at least dreamed greater than overly-processed cavity-dispensers.
Oh well.
The last time I took heavy duty painkillers I was punched in the face, so I guess your experience is still a step up from that.

Don't diss Jigglypuff Puffs they're awesome. Have you even tried them.

Once. Gagged for ten minutes. Maybe I could have eaten those back when I was fifteen, but now? I'm surprised you can stand the taste.

Your loss.

Have you tried Spurpuff Puffs? They're not as good as Jigglypuff Puffs, I think they're honestly an off brand kind of deal but they couldn't really sue them. There's also Clefairy Stars if you don't like marshmallows and really like the texture of catfood.

...No Clefairy Stars for me, I think. But as long as the Spurpuff Puffs don't taste like cardboard dipped in sugar, I'm willing to give them a try.

They're chocolate flavored. Let me know what you think when you do.

Sure. And if it turns out I don't like them, well. That's what Snorlax is for.

I hallucinated my father's memories once.

[Tobias, don't be depressing.]

_{[Henry does not yet know he has boarded the PAIN TRAIN.]}

Oh man. That had to be weird. What did you remember in your hallucination?

Space battles. Being chased. Wanting to see my mother.

I'm pretty sure it was stuff that actually happened.

Woah.

I know you used to be a bird and everything but I didn't know you were also from space.

I'm not, but my dad was. Sort of. Maybe not biologically. It's really confusing.

What were you doing that made you hallucinate like that?

[Uh.]

Not sure if you really want to know.

You know what. I'll take your word on it. In other news, I found a Fletchling feather near the mailbox yesterday if you want to see it?

Yeah, sure.

Also now that I think about it I did once dream about falling out of my tree and freaked out when I woke up still in my tree.

That is the most bird thing I've ever read in my life.

Here you go.

Coolfeather.poke

_{[Sure enough, the photo is nice and clear, a close up of the red and black feather held against the side of the house to give it some contrast.]}

It's not that different from dreaming about falling out of bed.

Also you're really good at that. I'm mostly just good at sketches.

Thanks.

I wish I could draw better. I could show you a few things about composition if you showed me some drawing techniques. I bet you could take some great photos flying with your Pokemon.

Probably, but it's usually wiser to keep two hands on your Pokemon when you're flying. But I'd be happy to show you some drawing techniques. I'm not really the best, but I'd like to think I'm pretty okay.

regal.poke

Like that.

Hey that looks really great!

You think so? I'm glad. I think I'm starting to get back to where I was before the whole 'no thumbs' thing was an issue. I used to doodle while staring out the window in class all the time.

You must have been very inebriated.

I think I dreamed while I was awake when I had a high fever once.

It felt a little like a fever dream now that I think of it. I HAVE had those when I was youngr. What did you dream about?

I dreamt I was in a fairytale and my room was...a throne room of sorts. It was very silly.

I would take a silly fever dream over a nightmare anyway. During that time I was sick, I wound up convinced that this monster from a story back home named Freddy Kruger was in my closet and I had to warn everyone but I was too scared to get out of bed. It was just an old coat leaned up against some boxes.

You and I are in agreement on that point. Nightmares have oft plagued me; far more than dreams, feverish or not.

At least your monster came from a story?

I'm sorry to hear that. Things are pretty similar for me. Now that you mention it, the story he was from was actually about dreams.

Then I am sorry for you too. My Pokémon will sing me to sleep sometimes and that helps.

What was his story?

Someone else who replied to me told me about a Pokemon called Munna that will eat bad dreams. Maybe you should look into that too. I am.

The story was about an evil supernatural being that would stalk people in their dreams and if he managed to kill them in the dream, they would die in reality. And the way he gained power was by more people knowing his name.

Someone was selling eggs from a Munna once, but I was unable to acquire one. I might seek a wild one for myself, though my nightmares are less frequent than they used to be.

(She has to suppress a shiver.)

Then I will not speak nor write his name! Such a monster should not be encouraged.

Good. I wonder if they have a legend like that here. I know there are several Pokemon who are more than a little scary.

_{[Excuse him as he has a mini flashback to the Shedinja incident.]}

I think you might have been kind of awake for part of that one

you mumbled a lot, sometimes it was about cereal

but I had a dream where I was fighting a giant beedrill and smacked my 'gear off the nightstand because it buzzed, does that count

I didn't say anything too weird, did I?

And sure, that counts.

I'm not going to say yes or no.

I'm just going to say, you know those mushrooms that grow on those little crabmonsters?

Don't eat them.

I'll take your word then.

I could give you a recipe for Persim zest tea if you ever need to relax.

You make tea out of those fancy cats?

No, it's one of the berries for Pokemon.

Oh. Well, that's better. But I thought eating those made you sick.

It depends on which ones you eat and if you actually eat the whole berry. I've started working with just the rind and the bad side effects aren't as prominent.

I don't know if screwing around with that stuff is brave or stupid. Why not just stick to the normal fruit that you know isn't going to make you puke?

oranges can't make the wallpaper look like a waterfall

Shit. Look, I'll tell you one thing. If the furniture starts talking to you, don't do what it says.

oh trust me ive learned my lesson when it comes to weird urges in this place

Uh oh. What did it try to make you do?

made me think diving off the roof to catch a pidove was a good idea

One of those squishy little birds? That's not even worth it.

no you don't understand

this was Fat Stanley.

my friend and I have been trying to catch him for like two years

you have a bird vendetta

If you mean having weird dreams, thanks to meds, not really. I have had dreams after zoning out from a training session though. In one of them, my brother was singing to me, it freaked me out.

Is he that bad of a singer?

Well he speaks in monotone, so his singing was just as expressive. His eyes are kinda dead looking so that didn't help much either. It was like a freaky statue was trying to sing me a lullaby.

Edited 2016-05-01 02:12 (UTC)

That sounds similar to a band back home. They're called Cake. He could be a hit.

Really? I mean I can't imagine changing jobs like that but I guess if could do something else that could be it. Though I will say that Cake is a good name for a band.

They're pretty good. Do you remember what your hallucinated brother was singing?

It's hard to remember exactly what the song was about but I think it had to do with our family. I'm not much of an music expert yet it was sort of song you hear a villain sing in a movie.

You know the ones that are soothing but grand in creepy sort of a way.

So your brother is a Disney villain? That's too bad.

I don't know what Disney is actually, but I'm use to how he is by now, so there is no need for condolences.

It's just a publisher that has stories like that. Singing villains and stuff.

So family movie sort of thing? My mother wouldn't let me see that sort of stuff. In her words it would be "harmful to my development"

How could watching family friendly films be harmful in any way?

It has to do with the family business, anything that is suppose to be heartwarming and family friendly. Isn't considered useful to our upbringing.

I got my wisdom teeth removed a few years ago? They had to give me a sedative so I didn't freak out about the anesthesia, so I was on that on top of the painkillers. Needless to say, it was a very strange experience wherein I somehow got stuck half under my bed.

Those are the kinds of things you're asking about, right?

I would say that absolutely counts. I hope your recovery went well.

It did! Despite any complications. A few days of drugs, a few months worth of blackmail material. So it goes.

I was only asking since some people seem to be sharing strange dreams instead of strange things that actually happened, since your initial experience is more nebulous.

It's fine. Everyone's stories have been pretty interesting to read so far.

Do you have any more like that?

None that I can remember off the top of my head. I make sure to stay out of the hospital.

Always a wise plan.
