dream journal ~ plural quirks and experiences

crosspost from tumblr .

on topic of dreams , one little plural quirk for kossai is that sometimes , will fall asleep and see dream of someone who is not front .
in absolute majority of cases , say , person A will fall asleep , and dream that brain tune into will be dream of person A . but for some reason , fairly rarely , will instead tune into dream of someone else .

so … can have " multiplayer dreams " also , where multiple people all participate and recall one particular dream - whether cofront before sleep or not - though brain only tune into one perspective . but this is not that - person A is not direct or intentional part of dream , in this case .

still not really sure how this work , and sort of hard to figure out because ... well ... literally asleep . unsure if person A still have separate dream from this , and brain just switch channels so to say , or if person A is actually in minecraft-style spectator mode , complete with ability to look through eyes .

there is third option , which is that front legitimately switch hands from A to B and back again during sleep . this feel weakest theory for kossai , though . with enough effort and plan , people here can weave dreams - that is to say , control settings , events , and characters of dreams . this is always someone who is not front , as dreamer lucidity is hard to maintain for fronter . yet there was at least one time in which tune into specifically dream weaver , and dream weaver experience no interruptions in ability to weave . so almost certainly not that !

dreamwidth addendum : 
there is poll on original tumblr version of this post ... and since kossai can hold polls here for another 2 weeks ... dreamwidth get one too !
