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

[ectoherbology]

Studying and reading has always been interesting. I like learning about plant life and insects. Tiny ecosystems are strange and fascinating.

I haven't had the chance to read about those for a while, though. I've been busy experimenting and studying what I am dubbing ectoherbology.

[mortal_son]

never read much about them myself.

what's 'ech-' ... 'eto-' ...

ectoherbology ?

[ectoherbology]

I am studying and experimenting with the alchemical and magical effects of binding ghostly ectoplasm and flowers. When I first reunited with Abigail, she was in her flower; I have been discovering ways to combine the living with the dead, blurring the line between them.

don't take this the wrong way, kid, but - why?

[ectoherbology]

I won't let Abigail get taken from me again.

[mortal_son]

fair enough

good luck with that, then
