Once Upon a Dream

(I Met You) Once Upon a Dream


Dreams are complicated and amazing, aren't they? They can be fascinating, fantastical, boring, scary, comforting. You can meet people that are gone from your life, there, or even - sometimes - dream of people who you don't know, yet.

So this is just it. Meeting in a dream.

Warning: some of the prompts can be better avoided by the younger crowd, for sexual, violent, or body horror reasons.

How to Play
- Comment with your character and preferences.
- Reply to others.
- Have fun.
- Make sure you leave people a way out. It may be a dream, but don't tag into a stranger's open prompt with something that might be explicitly disturbing or way too intimate without checking in with them, first.
Prompts

There are two major categories.
I. In a dream.
II. After you wake up.


They have different prompts, but you're free to mix and match as desired - and the prompts are merely suggestions, after all. Go wild!

I. In a dream.

A. Kind of dream.
1. Mundane
2. Fluffy
3. Hot
4. Sad
5. Nightmare
6. Fantastical
7. Free for your imagination.

B. Kind of meeting.
1. You know them in life. You meet them normally - friends, allies, acquaintances, coworkers...
2. They were once part of your life, but they're not, any longer. Left for good, you fought, they're no longer living...
3. Strangers.
4. Enemy! Defend yourself! Or maybe reach a truce.
5. Free for your imagination.

C. Kind of dream experience.
1. You are as you are in the waking dream - same gender, abilities, etc.
2. You're enhanced - you can do things you don't, when awake, like flight or supernatural strength or knowing a different language, or something else that you normally lack.
3. You're depowered - whether you have special abilities and they don't work in the dream, or you're lacking something else that you usually have - sight, mobility, speech...
4. You're physically changed - different gender, different race...
5. You're a different age - younger or older.
6. Free for your imagination.

II. After you wake up.
A. Kind of dream.
1. It was a lovely dream. You have a great feeling that stays with you after it.
2. It was a horrible dream. Nightmare, or it just went on and on...
3. It was a confusing dream. You're not sure how to feel about it.
4. You don't really remember much about it. But you think there was something...
5. Free for your imagination.

B. Kind of an encounter.
1. Expected - bedfellow, roommate, friend, colleague, and you get to tell them about the dream.
2. New - you met that person in the dream! Or they're just a stranger you feel like you should share the dream with.
3. Impossible - how is that person even there?
4. Enemy - why them? Why now?
5. Free for your imagination.

C. Anything else you want!
Did you wake up with a skill or ability you didn't have? A new fear? A secret you never knew before?

The Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver and scanned her noticing the scratches and cuts along her arm. "Rose, you're bleeding." It wasn't overly bad but it needed to be cleaned up. His brows were crinkled in worry as he moved closer and gently picked up her arm. "What was your nightmare about?"
missrosetyler: (A sign of things to come)

"I'm..." Her voice trailed off as she now noticed the cuts in her arms. It stung slightly. "Oh God!" She tried to remain calm as flashes of the nightmare played in her mind.

"I was rubbing and there was this creature after me. I thought I had escapes and then..." She couldn't even finish her sentence as a chill ran down her spine at the memory.

The Doctor went to the bathroom and fetched a clean wash towel and a few pieces of gauze bandage. He gently cleaned up the scratches and made sure they weren't terrible or likely to get infected before he bandaged them to help keep them clean.

"Do you remember what they looked like?" He asked her gently, concerned.
missrosetyler: (Meh)

[personal profile] missrosetyler 2014-08-13 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
She watched him for a moment ignoring the sting as he cleaned her injuries.

"They had these p-purple eyes," she said as she thought back to the nightmare and found herself shivering. "And claws and were just..." She wasn't sure that she could finish her sentence as her eyes welled up. She had been really scared.

Concerned the doctor stopped cleaning her wounds and instead placed his hands at her temples and rested his forehead against hers. "Let me see?" He asked closing his eyes and looking into her mind seeing her fears. He pulled back soon after and frowned. " is this the first time you've had this dream?"
missrosetyler: ([TSE]: I don't quite know)

Rose frowned as she started at him. The dream had still shaken her.

"It's the third time now," she admitted not sure what that meant. She always told herself it was just a dream brought on by bad food or the day's events. But now she wasn't so sure glancing at her arms. All those other times hadn't produced this.

"It's just a dream though, yeah?"
not_a_hero10: (smiley smile)

[personal profile] not_a_hero10 2014-08-24 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes, yes...just a dream." He said as he returned to bandaging her arm. Only it wasn't just a dream. Something was wrong...something bad and he needed to figure it out before her dreams became reality.

"Rose how do you fancy a trip home? Get to see Mickey and your mum for a bit?"

"You really want to go back there?" she asked a bit surprised.

Was he trying to trick her? She couldn't help but wonder. Although now that she had thought about it, it had been some time since they had visited and were probably missed.

"Just a quick visit. The TARDIS needs a refuel and it's been a while, yeah?" The Doctor explains. He knows she's smart but he doesn't want her to worry yet. The less she's aware the better because as long as she thinks it's still a dream it won't gain power as fast. This was tricky. He needed a few hours without her around in order to analyze and try and figure out how best to help her that didn't involve letting her nightmares gain physical form. The fact they could harm her already was a bad sign indeed.
missrosetyler: (He tells the best jokes)

[personal profile] missrosetyler 2014-08-25 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Suppose it has, yeah," she admits with a small smile. She looks over at her bandaged arm and knows she'll have to wear a long sleeve hoodie. She doesn't want her mum or Mickey to fuss over her injuries.

"Let's go then. I reckon mum's probably gonna try and feed us again." she says with a fond expression.

"More than likely." The Doctor smiled softly at her. "Come on, fix us a cuppa while I set the course." He bounded out of the room trying his best to not let her see how worried he was. He'd wait till she was distracted then he would slip away and make sure he did everything he could to keep her safe. She was so very important to him and Jackie would never forgive him if he let Rose get hurt.
missrosetyler: (Try me)

[personal profile] missrosetyler 2014-09-01 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Swallowing her fears, she smiled back at him.

"Yeah, sounds good."

A cuppa would do them both good. Slipping out of her bed and getting to her feet, the blonde walked out of her room to head towards the kitchen area on the TARDIS.

Once there with her thoughts focused on the tea as she grabbed the kettle then filled it with water, a sigh escaped her lips. The Doctor had been so worried despite the smiles and reassurance. She knew him.

Reaching into the cabinets she pulled out a tea packet and turned on the stove setting the kettle down.
not_a_hero10: (smiley smile)

I am SO SORRY

The Doctor headed to his library and walked the rows like a man on a mission. He stopped and turned, heading down an aisle. About halfway down he stopped and ran his fingers over the spines of the many books lining the shelves. He stopped, plucked a rather thick leather bound book and opened it quickly scanning the index. He closed the book and held it by his side as he turned and quickly headed back out towards his room. Book safely on his bed, he then headed to meet Rose in the kitchen just as she was finishing the tea.

missrosetyler: (Meh)

That's fine. No worries. :)

[personal profile] missrosetyler 2014-09-21 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
With the tea finished and set on the table, Rose sat down and started to pour the tea into a small cup. A frown remained on her lip as her thoughts drifted back to that horrifying dream.
not_a_hero10: (coming with?)

[personal profile] not_a_hero10 2014-10-08 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
The Doctor observed Rose for a moment and then noticed the look on her face. He moved to stand beside her and gently tilted her face up to his own. "Don't think about it, Rose. Alright? Don't think about the nightmare. Think about Christmas at your mums, think about going on a date with Mickey or shopping with Jack, but not the nightmare."
missrosetyler: (Put a smile on your face)

[personal profile] missrosetyler 2014-10-10 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
Rose started into his eyes and smile. He always lnew what to say. She thought back to their first Christmas and the snow that was really ash. How she held onto his hand as they plotted their future course through the stars. She had been so excited and nervous.

"Mum and her turkey. It was pretty good wasn't it?"
