[Voice (Morning of the 25th)]

Everyone, first of all please remain calm over the dreams you've been having. The frequent rate of bizarre nightmares means they are very likely planted shifts put into the mainstream subconscious. There is no need to be alarmed. Dreams are just dreams and can't hurt you.

Second of all, I guess I should stop being a lazy bum. I run a small clinic around these parts. Most people would refer to me as a shrink, but I prefer the term 'psychologist'. Sleep and dream therapy are two of my specialties I like to say!

My business is a bit more obscure these days, but if anyone wants to talk about the strange things they've been seeing, I'll gladly be an ear for you to vent and get some professional advice. Free of charge. And if you don't want to talk with me, just go talk with someone. Or write what you have been dreaming of. It could help. I'll be open all day long for those that want to schedule short sessions with me.

Also don't avoid sleep over this. I mean it, that does nothing good to your body.

[ooc: tags may be a bit slow. also, if you want to action it up, here's a different post in the log thread forwarded to the 26th]

If these dreams are truly inorganic then that means they are being directly put into our subconscious and activate when we sleep. From what I'm understanding however, these dreams are not just regular but memories. False ones.

There are some parts of a person's memory that cannot be accessed by the waking mind, but in sleep they can be. So, these shifts have been planted into our memory, but only the subconscious one.

...It's just a theory though.

It sounds like a pretty good one... [he follows, in silence-- though perhaps understanding "subconscious" as something a little different that the definitions of psychoanalysts]

Only--- [pause] -- the shifts went to some lengths with the details, don't you think?

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

The shifts may not be supplying us with the details all together, but just mixing things up. Like showing people in the Valley not as family, but as something else for example. They didn't create a new memory, they just jumbled an old one. They likely provided details for other things however.

[he thinks of other conversations, his own and the eavesdropped]

It seems less like jumbling real memories-- and more like... a whole separate, created, reality. The dream-narratives match up so closely.

Ahh, that's an interesting thought! A separate reality, created by the shifts in our subconscious. Has everyone you've been close to in this reality? I haven't really had dreams about anyone from the Valley yet.

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

Not everyone. [his voice drops.] Not in the same-- capacity, you might say.

I guess some people are more influenced by their surrounds than others. I didn't dream at all about anyone in the Valley myself.
