[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]

[She takes a few minutes to bump up his filter and nods.]

Go ahead. Do you want to talk in person or just like this?

Just like this is fine, I guess...

[He hesitates for a moment, then sighs and comes out with it.] I'm not sure it was the same sort of shift dream other people are having, because it was here and just... normal, aside from how people acted.

[Another lengthy pause.] What does it mean if you dream about someone in your family attacking you?

Edited 2011-04-28 14:45 (UTC)

[She thinks for a moment.]

Why do you think they attacked you in the dream? Did you provoke them or did they simply lash out?

He just - there was no reason. [He exhales roughly, then begins to recount it.] It was cold, but not too cold - it had just snowed, and I was in the plaza making snowballs. There was someone else there, too - I think it was a friend, but I don't remember them that clearly.

[He swallows audibly.] I look up, and suddenly my grandfather's sword is swinging right for me. I sort of dodge and get my own sword and yell for my friend to get out of there, and we start to fight. I don't know why, but I was really... scared when I saw him. Like I had been dreading it.

[That... was not the easiest admission to make.]

[She admittedly doesn't know much about Link's family, but for him to have such thoughts is bizarre.]

Have you ever had any kind of strife with your grandfather before? I'm not talking about in the dream, but in your life. Is he kind to you?

No, we don't fight or anything. [A sigh.] He's actually my adopted grandfather, and we're not really close, but we get on fine. We spar together, but it's not like we're serious rivals or anything.

No past ire or conflict. [She purses her lips. This is a little bit puzzling, even for her.] What does your family think about him? Does everyone get along?

I think so. He's pretty serious about stuff, but I don't think he gets on badly with anyone.

[A heavy sigh - this makes no sense.] Maybe it is one of those shift dreams.

Well the dreams are definitely being caused by shifts. But, I wonder why they would make things so random. Who else was in the dream besides him and you.

I don't really know. In the dream, he was a really good friend, but... [He pauses uncomfortably.]

I had other dreams about him, too. In a different place - I think those were shift dreams, though. Do you know the guy in this village who hears voices? It was him.

Hears voices? I can't say I do. Do you know his name?

...Uh. Shake or Sheik or something. I've only seen him a few times - he sees Doctor Muraki. [And given Link's... near-constant state of injury, they were bound to bump into each other sooner or later.]

[She snorts lightly.] Shake, huh? Long shot, but I think you'd be closer to Sheik. Have you ever talked with him?

Well, I only heard his name in the waiting room. [Oh, how he loathes waiting rooms.] And not really... just 'hi' or 'pass the magazine' or something. He's really quiet. Why would I dream of someone I barely know?

Well, for starters, these dreams are just shifts. You shouldn't be dreaming things like this normally. However, the shifts could be corresponding to your subconscious and influencing your dreams rather than creating complete artificial ones. Maybe he caught your eye at some point in some way? Like he looked interesting?

...Maybe. [He sounds a bit doubtful, though.] He has red eyes, that's kind of interesting... but one of my grandfather's eyes is red too. [Oh, hey!] Maybe that's why they were both in the dream?

Could be. Connections like that can be obvious or not and just plain odd. The red eyes may have caught your eye however when you passed him by. Not exactly a common coloration by any means.

Maybe. How come I saw someone I know as the violent one and a stranger as my friend, though?

Hm. It could be ambivalence. A yearning for change in your life direction. Probably the shifts messing around with your feelings though.

Oh... I guess the shift makes the most sense. [He sounds a little sheepish.] I really like what I'm doing.
