the dream generator meme

[knockyoursocksoff]

The Dream Generator™ is an exciting new device that allows the user to select from a list of dreams that he or she wishes to experience as they sleep. No more random fluctuations of the subconscious, no more repetitions of the same dream, no more nightmares to shake you from sleep - only the dream that you wish to see!

...or that's how it's supposed to function. Unfortunately it seems that some of the Dream Generator™ units have shipped with a few minor bugs, but it's nothing that can't be worked out or repaired. Simply call the toll-free number and the technicians can send a replacement unit!

Unfortunately, you have to finish the dream first.

These things do happen when an uncertain technology is released to the public when it isn't quite ready, so even if the majority of Dream Generator™ users get what they're looking for, there are a handful who experience...glitches. They might get a dream they didn't request, or the dream might turn into a nightmare instead. Some get so drawn into their dreams that they forget it isn't actually real. And every now and then there are reports of people who are somehow drawn into another's Dream Generator™ dream even when they don't have a unit of their own, a phenomenon that has yet to be explained.

Still, the only way to find out if your Dream Generator™ is one of the defective ones is to use it, and should you be trapped in a dream not of your choosing (or one of someone else's choosing) there's nothing to do but wait for it to end.

OPTIONS

1. Defying Gravity: You're falling, flying, or simply floating just above the ground. If it's a pleasant dream you might enjoy swooping about in mid-air, but if you've found yourself in a nightmare you might be grasping desperately for anything to break your fall.

2. Trapped: You're locked in a room, trapped in a box, or simply unable to find the exit from the building no matter how hard you look.

3. Sudden Nudity: Your clothes just vanished in the blink of an eye and you're in a public place. Hopefully you can sneak away before someone notices. Or are they all staring at you right now?

4. Rise to Power: You're the king of the world! Literally. Or maybe the CEO of a corporation, or the most famous celebrity in the world. Would you enjoy your newfound power, or does it terrify you?

5. Searching: There's something terribly important that you have to find, but no matter where you look it eludes you.

6. Chased: Something is following you. Something terrible and frightening, but you don't dare look back to see what it is.

7. Alternate Universe: This is your life as it could have been. What if you'd made a different choice way back when? Or are you now back in high school, ready to take a different path than the one you originally followed?

8. Metamorphosis: There's something different about you. Maybe you've been genderswapped, or maybe you've turned into an animal? Or you're suddenly fifty years older and dealing with the effects of aging. This could be awesome, or it could be the ultimate in body horror.

9. Paralysis: You can't move, for whatever reason. If you believed in folklore it could be that there's a demon sitting on your chest, or maybe there's another reason for it in your dream.

10. Sense Distortion: You could be more or less sensitive to touch, or perhaps one of your other senses is malfunctioning. Maybe you're abruptly blind, trapped in darkness, or every sound is suddenly painfully loud to your ears.

11. Illness: You're sick or badly injured, possibly even near death. Will you enjoy being tended to by your nurse, or will you have a heart-wrenching deathbed scene?

12. Catastrophe: Something terrible is happening, whether it's a natural disaster or a manmade accident.

13. Supernatural: Either you're surrounded by the strange and bizarre, or you now have supernatural powers. Will you use them for good or for awesome? Or will your power destroy you?

14. Wildcard: Pick a dream option not listed here.

1, Defying Gravity

[diedandlived]

[Nice view. James'd never thought about flying, but falling seems closest to it. Around him's the sky, clear and blue, puffy clouds, and the wind's pleasant. Little bits of gold flash by him. He doesn't even mind the anchor chained to his back, how it drifts high above him in the soft wind. James looks to his left, and...is that...another person?]

Um...hello?

[The sky pinkens a little. Start of sunset, he thinks. He's wrong. It's far, far worse. But this is nice. Weird, but okay.]

[Yukiko knows that the bars are close and tight about her, holding her bound and trapped, hardly able to even breathe, but she cannot see. In fact, she can't see anything at all around her, as though a dark mist blocks the light, but she doesn't dare reach out lest her hands encounter the bars and thus make them more real.

And as she stands, paralyzed and tense, heart pounding in her chest, she hears the soft creak of the cage door. Is someone trying to let her out? Or are they coming in to join her? If only she could see, to know, but she can't move, only wait...]

[Barack thought he knew the White House in and out, as any decent president should, but he second-guesses that notion as he tries to find his way back to the West Wing. It's about time for him to start signing the paperwork so he can end all the wars and rebuild America! There's no way the United States will lead the world in college graduates by 2020 unless he steps up his game and picks up a pen! But alas, he can't find his way to that damned office, which means all that leading the nation business is going to have to wait.

He makes a turn down a hall he can't remember ever actually existing in the too-big House of politics and opens a random office. That's when he sees him. Barack's face creases into a frown.]

Mitt.

[He steps in the office and the door shuts behind him on its own, guided undoubtedly by the force of tension that now exists in the room.]

You shouldn't be here.

[You're not president yet, buddy.]

[ No matter what timeline, it appears that Archer's E-Rank luck landed him alongside a certain intolerable girl. While he may have struck out from her so-called affections in his younger life, this time he was given the pleasure denied to him before. ]

Archer! [ His title always came out so abruptly from her mouth, but that's just typical of her. Having not yet made her appearance in this dream, a sigh can be heard 'off screen'. ] Do I really have to go dressed out in this?

[ Peering around the door frame is one tsundere with her hair free of the twin tails, but she's dressed for some occasion; from manicured nails to lipstick, she was all dolled up in a manner unlike her. With a frown, she hides back behind it as though that would keep her safe from his gaze. ]

Don't stare so hard or else I'll give you something hard in return! [ Oh baby. ] I just wanted to dress up well for my last one.

[ That's right. It was around the time Tanabata took place, wasn't it? Only a handful of months after the Fifth Holy Grail War too. ]

I'm glad you came back for today, Archer. [ Just like that she slips up with a honest moment, one that gives away the intention of the dream. Guess he's still incapable of listening to her (of wearing her down with his troublesome antics) and only returned to this point of time for this single day. ] Especially since Emiya-kun ditched me for today for that stupid friend of his. Geez, what kind of guy leaves a beautiful woman such as myself to just sit around with a bunch of gross men?

[ the minute he becomes aware of where he is is the moment he knows this is not one of his dreams. Wolfgang's dreams are predictable, repetitious. unfamiliar surroundings, uncertainty... he's only not freaking out because wandering into other people's dreams is not new. well, it's new in that it's a skill recently acquired that he hasn't quite figured out how to navigate, but it's not surprising anymore, no.

after a moment of anxiously trying to decide what to do, he starts moving, looking for the dreamer. if he can wake them up, he can end this for both of them. and apologise. a lot. ]
