[OOC] Reality is a nightmare.

[paragloan]

Or she can use the portable machine for travelers that I am sure they stole one of for when they don't want to deal with nightmares. I figure they would have one of them just in case. Idk. But yeah she sounds like his true match.

[Love Dove]

Oh well now see I didn't know about that machine. That would work well to. On their bad guys I wouldn't be surprised if they stole it like someone their dreams killed.

Damia: Well yeah duh.

[paragloan]

Yeah I am bad about pulling an idea out of my ass and forgetting to tell the other about it. Feel free to do the same to me. Lol.

Nathan: Be nice babe. She did not know how stupid what she said was. We know we are meant for each other. However if you want we can always deal with her later. *grins*

[Love Dove]

It's a good idea though, it makes sense for travelers to have a machine to keep from killing everyone when they travel. Haha I will remember to pull ideas out nowhere, just for you. Also, isn't he just the smooth talker.

Damia: *sighs* Alright babe I'll be nice for now. But only because we need her. *smiles* Later then.

[paragloan]

He reminds me of a used car salesman with that smooth talk.

Nathan: Fuck you. *turns to Damia* Yeah the bitch will have to go eventually. She just insulted your man.

[Love Dove]

Damia: *is trying not to laugh*

She really found that reference funny.

Damia: *Fights off laugh* How dare she insult you. I'll definitely have to take of this eventually.

[paragloan]

Lol. He is just slick that way.

On another note, I was thinking that the gene does not kick in until the person hits puberty. That way we don't have all these little kids killing everyone with their nightmares. What ya think? And when you get past a certain age of like say 65 it goes dormant. Also so don't have all these older people that sleep a lot being serial killers. Haha. Of course we might have some exceptions to this rule. Not sure

[Love Dove]

I think that is a good idea, because you're right we don't want little children or elderly killing people without really having control over themselves. So maybe its not a gene thing but a chemical thing?

[Love Dove]

By the way could nightmares they aren't creatures come true as well? Wondering for Damia's back story.

[paragloan]

To an extent I would think so. It might be that only those few people that can control them has that stuff happen. Would make sense for her then. And they would have to be really afraid for them to come to life since I would think that the fear would be what activated the gene? What do u think?

[Love Dove]

Ah okay that makes sense, in that case I may have to rethink her back story. Because it would have been someone else's nightmare not hers. But glad that I asked before I thought it all the way through.

Though I wonder what do you mean by fear making the gene come to life? Would it be just fear from the dreams? Or in general?

[paragloan]

It does not have to be that way. Is just an idea. However u want to do it is fine.

I just meant that the more scared you get inside your dream the more likely it would be for the dream to come to life. The gene Is activated by fear and the more scared they are in the dream the easier it would be for the gene to activate and thus the nightmare become reality through it. If that makes sense. As I said though I am just making this shit up as I go so is all changeable and flexible. If you have another idea on how it would work then that is cool too.

Was kinda thinking that the gene is not really active except in the dream state. However the people that can control their nightmares might be able to get around that somehow so that they could activate it at will and bring nightmares I to reality but it would maybe drain them badly or something. Like a check and balance thing so they don't get too overpowered and such. Idk.

[Love Dove]

No, no its okay. I mean it does make sense the nightmares not about creature wouldn't come true. It hadn't been written in stone anyway.

Ah so technically speaking, the gene could kick in really anytime between the age limit. Or never at all for that matter. Maybe people with this gene such also have worse nightmares? Once the gene kicks in I mean.

That could work, of course if they did that it would be more dangerous wouldn't? Like the whole issue is that if you lost control it will actually kill you. So if you fell asleep, would you lose control?

[paragloan]

Hmm. You have left me having to think about a lot of things. Ok. First off, the nightmares that came to life could be other things but they would not be strong and would evaporate quickly after waking. Only things that had a mind so to speak and could function on their own independently would be the real threats when brought to life

Second, the gene could or could not kick in anytime during that period. And I think that if they did have the gene it might make their nightmares stronger. Since it would activate with their fear and the stronger the fear the stronger the nightmare.

Since the person that has the nightmares cannot be affected by their own, then the only thing they would have to worry with then would be what they unleashed on the world. When they fell asleep they would be dangerous to others only but if more than one was in the same room and fell asleep then in theory the nightmares of each other would cause a slaughter if they were strong enough.

Hmm. What do you think? I hope I am not contradicting stuff I have already said. I just am kind of saying whatever comes in to my head. Lol.

Is there anything that you have thought of to add or change stuff? I am curious.

On another note, I hope that you are doing well. I have been kind of just chilling this week and doing a whole lot of nothing. Was awesome. Not looking forward to going back to hell, I mean work on Tuesday. Haha.

[Love Dove]

Ah okay that would make a lot of sense. I like the idea of the things without a mind being weaker. Plus the way you put it makes a lot of sense.

I actually like the idea of her nightmares being stronger too. So that works out perfectly. Plus with this I could actually have her start later on, people having thought she was a blank.

One question about this one. When you say another in the same room. Do you mean another with the same gene or dreamer altogether?

Hmm we really should come up with a name for this gene. Haha.

I do have question actually about dreams themselves. How can they tell who made the dream?

And I'm pretty good, other than having issues with myh sleep. The last three nights I haven't been about to get to sleep until like eight in the morning.

I'm glad you got a chill week! That sounds nice, and deserved it. Haha. At least you won't get cold in hell though right.

[paragloan]

I was talking about another person that was dreaming with the same gene. And the bitch of it is that until the deaths start there would not really be a way to tell whose nightmare it was. Well unless they were one of those that had that control thing then they could tell. Otherwise not so much I would think. Unless they remembered what they were dreaming about and knew it came from their dream. That would be only way.

A name for the gene huh. Well yeah I have no clue. Lol. Um, how about the DTR gene. Stands for dream to reality. Haha. Seriously if you have a better name then I am for that.

I won't be cold in hell but all the assholes that come there and bother me are torture. Ba dum dum. Lmao.

[Love Dove]

Ah okay that makes sense!

As for the telling who the dreamer is thing. Its fare to say then that there are ways for Damia and Nathaniel to kill people with their dreams and not get caught? Like say that Damia forces her dream, in her control, to start killing people away from where she lives and they couldn't tell? Or in Nathaniel's case he could crash in a empty house and leave before they fought out it was him?

Haha I think that is a good name for it actually.

Haha I laughed harder at this than I should have I think. That was a good one.

[paragloan]

Yeah you are understanind it the way my brain is thinking it. Lol.

Ok. Dtr gene it is then. Works.

Yeah I cracked myself up too. But it doesn't take much for me to lose it lately. I accidentally snorted at home the other day and laughed for like 30 minutes and I was all alone. I am very easily amused.

[Love Dove]

Well great minds think a like haha.

Whoop should be shorter say too.

Haha were you laughing at yourself or just randomly laughing?

[paragloan]

Kind of both. Laughing at myself and then just laughing cause I could not stop. I felt kinda dumb after a bit but oh well. I know I am on the shady side of crazy anyways. Lmao.
