[Sorry, he's not going to put his "name" to something like this. It's awkward, and given that his "name" right now is just "Nameless Wanderer", he's pretty sure attaching it to this post would get people asking questions that aren't any of their business.]Do you like your name? What does it mean? Who gave it to you? Would you change it if you could, and if you would what would it be?
I'm doing some research on names and why humans get so attached to them or don't.

Hello.
Judging on previous journal entries, it is rather clear that there are various beings that take residence within Reverein. I can not help but wonder is there some sort of census or even a network that records everyone's abilities and talents? I think it would be rather useful to have some emergency network-especially since it is impossible for everyone to be fully prepared to handle *every* sort of situation.

If there's anyone having trouble sleeping due to nightmares, or anything else, feel free to swing by The Wild Harvest.
We've got a lemonade-like drink that will guarantee a peaceful night's sleep; can also make it a tea if you're more the type for that.
For those who might prefer a dreamless night sleep, I've got a strong homemade honey moonshine on offer as well. I'm willing to part with a few jars of it.
That's all.

Mistletoe is a curious thing, isn't it? Traditionally people kiss underneath it, but there's more of a story to it. The druids of my world would harvest it for their magic, but there's one particular story that I'd like to highlight.
---
A long time ago the god Baldur was a god of the sun, joy, peace... all of those positive things. His mother, the goddess Freya, heard a prophecy that he was going to die. She didn't want that, so she made everything in the world swear an oath not to harm him. Everything, that is, except for mistletoe - apparently too young to swear an oath, or something like that.
The gods had a fun time throwing everything at Baldur and watching it bounce off, but Loki, god of mischief, found out about the mistletoe and fashioned a spear out of the stuff. He then gave it to Hod, Baldur's blind brother, and watched as it slew Baldur.
There's more to the story - about the goddess Hel not wanting to let the dead god go unless everything in the world wept for him. But Loki disguised himself as a giantess and would not cry, so Baldur stayed dead. And that culture's gods are barely worshiped anymore in my world, so who's to say?
---
Now, storytime aside... I seem to have taken ill. It's nothing life-threatening, but I'd have someone look at it all the same. There wouldn't happen to be a doctor or healer among our number willing to make house calls, would there?

Hard to believe that at the end of this month, it will have been two years since this little dream world started pulling us all into it. Quite a marvel, isn't it? I certainly hadn't expected it to last this long!
Now I'd hoped to have a little surprise I'd had planned for Reverein finished by our two-year anniversary, but our rather rude guest a few months ago pushed back several plans!
Back in Hell, I was often-times referred to as "The Radio Demon" due to my powers over the radiowaves. I've been working with Miss Madhuri and her charming husband on perfecting a means of producing radios here in Reverein, but I ask you this: What fun is there in a radio with only one channel? None, that's what!
I've been working with some of the people at the Observatory to develop the technology for others to broadcast without having to rely solely on my powers, and we're ready to begin construction on a brand-new radio station specially designed for Reverein! One of the advantages to a world of magic and imagination: No need to make a radio tower look like hideous scaffolding! Absolutely delightful! Perhaps someday more towers will be built to connect us to Dragon Island or even places farther afield!
The project should be finished next month, so there's plenty of time to get your hands on a radio of your own to hear the inaugural broadcast!
Stay tuned!

have you guys ever had a thinking thought just hit you out of nowhere and you can’t stop thinking about it for a while? like...
when you bury your feet in the sand at the beach you are briefly wearing the earth as shoes.
or...
the galaxy is so big that there's probably a place in the universe out there where a constellation of stars looks just like a portrait of you!

Hello!
I think I've caught on to how this works, so I wanted to try it out. I thought I'd ask a quick question that might be pretty open-ended but still interesting.
If there's something you'd want to tell someone new to this whole experience, what would it be?
I guess there's no hiding it, I'm still catching on to everything. So the person you'd be telling it to would be me, in this case. Haha.
Thanks!

All right, I'm curious. How do people with tendencies towards them prevent nightmares here? I've only had some minor success with harnessing this 'dreamotion' energy, and I don't have access to the methods I tend to use at home.
(Those being various herbal remedies as well as simply loading up with caffeine.)
I suppose I could continue waking up before I can drop into the stage of sleep where one dreams most of the time, but it's stretching even my own considerable limits.

Well hello, beautiful dreamers! I saw a lot of new faces, which can only mean I have to roll up my sleeves and get to kneading dough.
Newcomers get pie, because I say so. It can be fruit pie, chocolate pie, or pizza. Pizza counts as pie, again, because I say so.
Should this interest you, and I promise you will not regret it, please write in which sort of pie you would like in your tummy by the end of the day. I will be sure I've fed all the greenhorns! Nobody should dreamwalk on an empty stomach, you see.
I will also be getting together some form of barbecue on the beach now that the weather is decidedly hot and sticky, and ask that you keep your nose to the air and your eyes peeled if you're feeling a little peckish after a swim or some very rigorous volleyball. I haven't got the exact dates in mind yet, though, but maybe once I've finished tossing pies everywhere I'll have something more solid.

Songerein—
A dream world born from the clash of three different universes. One world produced emotion energy, a byproduct created when one's emotions manifested into a more tangible force. Another produced dream energy, a byproduct of one's dreams that allowed one to view and traverse through them. Both worlds produced so much excess energy they were diverted into an empty universe and happened to collide, producing a new, strange world made up of a new source, dreamotion energy. It remained a barren wasteland until a tear through the dimensions appeared and the concepts of fairy tales poured through. Magic, creatures, environments—they were all dumped in a central location and life began to form. But were they real? Or just figments of what they used to be? Regardless, this giant clash has created a unique world filled with unlimited possibilities.
But of course, a clash of this size would have some side effects. The dream energy in particular remains volatile and continues to seep out with its innate ability to connect to any dream in any world. If there is a strong enough resonance between the dreamer and dream energy, a version of the dreamer, a dream self, is formed and pulled into Songerein while the original body remains in their world safe, unharmed, and unaware of what's going on. Only after accumulating enough dreamotion energy can the dream self "wake up" and leave Songerein to return to its original body, all its experiences felt like a strange, long dream.
Fortunately, Songerein is relatively...peaceful. It's a brand new world after all with only the fairy tale creatures and the dream selves, or dreamwalkers as they are officially called, pulled from other worlds as its denizens. There may be times the different energies become unstable, but it only creates a slight disturbance that eventually settles. Still, the constant connecting and reconnecting through the dream energy means that different things are randomly pulled in and disappear from the world. Those who have decided to make Songerein their home want to build onto it by using the ability to traverse through dreams to their advantage. By creating dreamshifts, they can create giant dreamscapes based on other worlds that large groups of dreamwalkers can enter and bring back concepts to be used in Songerein. Beginning with fairy tales, dreamwalkers could also form dreamshifts based on their own home worlds to bring in something from there. As a bonus, this uses the excess dreamotion energy within the world, helping stabilize it.
So, what kind of world will Songerein become? Just remember…
Where there are dreams, there are also nightmares.
Songerein is a panfandom game based on the following three former games: Somarium, Empatheias, and Forgotten Tales. At its core it is a worldbuilding game with adventure and character development. Player and character action will be what decides what is brought into Songerein, be it for good or ill. Although it's expected for players to be able to create their own fun and not rely solely on the mods, Songerein is billed to be more of a relaxed game for everyone to have fun in.
