Subject: Dream rules?

hey so I got the typical(??) talk from the dream guys here now but

when they say we're dreaming -

do standard "dream rules" apply?? I don't see people flying all over the place, that's a dream thing for most people, right? idek I don't dream much

and what about that thing when people die in dreams? does that mean they wake up and go on with their normal lives?

k thanks for your time

fair enough

dare I ask how you got down?

[stillarhino]

she hadta drop me in some hay

[mortal_son]

doesn't sound gentle - I bet it's not as soft as it looks on TV

better than getting a broken bone, though. those hurt like a bitch.

[stillarhino]

nah that shit was itchy as hell yo!
kept finding more of them stuck in my jacket for a coupla days
but yous right though broken bones aint no joke
takes forever for them to heal too

[Sounds like they're both speaking from experience.]

[mortal_son]

I’ll remember to avoid hay at all costs.

… there are worse things, but I know people who find waiting around for it to heal the worst part. the kinds who don’t like to sit still

[stillarhino]

naw thats what im saying yo
what the hell am i supposed to do when its still all broke
i cant just sit on my ass all day watching tv or some shit

[Definitely speaking from experience.]

[mortal_son]

what you do is sit tight and wait it out

or you’ll hurt yourself again and have to wait even longer. trust me.

[stillarhino]

man that sounds hella lame
but aint like we can do shit about it anyway
all that shit happened before i even got here

[mortal_son]

yeah well life is often lame

can people get hurt like that here since it's a dream? or ...

[stillarhino]

yeah dont matter that it's supposed to be a dream
this place can still mess you up
hell imma still kinda banged up from the shit that happened a coupla days ago

[mortal_son]
