Not physically, I don’t think. Just some folks on this sub a few years back—before your time—talking about a friend of theirs who stopped spending a lot of time in the waking world. Guess the dreamworld is pretty sweet.

Gotcha. Based on my sister’s reaction to having the ability, I don’t think her liking it too much is going to be a problem.

COOOOOOOOOOOL.

lokilover

congrats, man. having a dreamdiver in the family is very, very cool. you should invite your sister to this sub—I’d love to get to know her.

thatsahumanperson

If I think she’d get something out of it, I’ll invite her, but she’s probably the least online person her age I’ve ever met. Also … not loving the vibe you’re sending out n/lokilover.

lokilover

meant no disrespect. I just think her power sounds incredible.

Can I ask, why no ghosts? I would think with the special powers thing, anything supernatural would be fair game. But are they against the rules of the world?

thatsahumanperson

I mean, yeah, they’re literally against the rules of the world as in like … the laws of physics? I get that a lot of us can do things that defy laws of the natural world, but death feels like one of those rules that no Unusual, no matter their ability, could break.

almost ten years of this sub and I swear, this exact type of person never stops coming.

OH my god, dude, for the last time, THIS IS NOT AN RP. I can’t tell if you’re just dense or an actual Unusual and just an epic troll. But FWIW, I actually do believe in ghosts. I haven’t seen any proof yet, but I think there’s still a lot about the world that we don’t understand.

iwannabelieve

hey, no offense meant from me. I’m just out here tryna have a good time.

onmyown

Yeah, well the rest of us are just trying to live our lives. This isn’t a game to us.

SEPTEMBER 23RD, 2016

I still can’t quite believe that I’m here. The AM. The belly of the beast. That sounds more dramatic than I mean it—Aaron was right, it’s not actually that scary. Though walking in was pretty intimidating. There’s this huge, two- or three-story lobby—an atrium that slants down into the reception area, making it feel as if the sky is coming down on you the farther you go into the building. Like a visual cue saying: “Turn back, you’re going to be swallowed whole by this whale if you take another step.” But there I was, walking straight into the thing’s damn mouth. Just like the dream rules I’m beginning to get a tentative hold on: no turning back.
