galambs[It’s late at night - late, late at night, when most are asleep - that it happens. Awakened and Unawakened alike will find themselves dreaming, playing out memories collected in their subconscious.]
[But not their own memories. No. That would be too comforting, too easy, wouldn’t it? And it wouldn’t do what’s necessary.]
[Instead the sleepers will find themselves in one another’s dream-memories - Awakened in the memories of the Unawakened, Unawakened in the memories of the Awakened.]
[What do the displaced dreamers do there? Well, that’s up to them. But no doubt the Unawakened will find these memories of a life they don’t remember both attractive and disconcerting as they begin to create some of the dissonance needed for Awakening. No doubt the memories of the Awakened - which may come either from a life beyond the city or from after their own Awakening - will be equally uncomfortable.]
[Awakened, just be wary of any Shadows that may arise from you poking around - or the dream memories themselves. (After all, not all memories are sweet.)]
OOC: Post to this thread with a memory (or more than one) from your character. (Please say in the title if your character is Awakened or Unawakened.) For the Unawakened the memory will be from their true lives. For the Awakened it can be a memory from their true lives or from after they were Awakened. Memories can be good or bad - it’s your prerogative. However, Shadows may arise as Awakened poke around in Unawakened dreams or as the Unawakened gain dissonance in Awakened dreams - or the dreams themselves may be dangerous. Intermingle by posting to other threads and profit!
If an Awakened or Unawakened does happen to be awake this late, they will hear the beep of an incoming message on their phone, accompanied with an overwhelming compulsion to check. Checking their phone, they will see the swirling red and white pattern of an app called the Hypnotism App, which will lull them to sleep within moments.
