Posted 23 Aug 2014 "You did. I turned my machine on and set it to the lowest I could as a test. You were blushing a lot, then Shadow hit the abort button." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2014 "You.... you used the machine?" asked Melody wringing her hands together. "Uh... er... did you.... know what was... was happening in my dream..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2014 "No, it's not that advanced yet. All I could do is look at your body's reactions to see if it needed shutting down. I can input scenarios though, but again can't see how they unfold." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2014 "I see," said Melody sounding relieved. "So, uh... could I have another go... just to... make sure it works well..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 23 Aug 2014 "Ok. It'll give me a chance to see if the dial works properly." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2014 "So... how does this dial work? What would it do?" asked Melody Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2014 "It changes the intensity of a dream, but the dream type is defined by your mind. However, there's also a selection on here which overrides your mind and let's me dictate what dream you'd have. Nightmare, lucid dream, a dream where you think you've woken up and go about your day. That sort of thing." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2014 "Wow, that's pretty neat! A nice selection of stuff!" said Melody. "And no doubt you'll add more too!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2014 "Yeah, I was just telling Shadow and Rouge about the scenarios, it adds another level of specificity to my machine. So you could have an intense nightmare on a boat, for example." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2014 "Hmm, that does make sense. So how intense it is mean's how real it feels?" asked Melody. "Even at it's lowest, it didn't feel like a dream... but then, dreams often don't..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2014 "Intensity reflects that, but also what sort of content would be in the dream. A mild dream might be you running through a park, but the higher settings could be you in your old castle ruling as a queen. And yes, generally speaking it will feel real unless I go to the lucid setting, then you know it's a dream and can control it." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2014 "Hmm, that does sound like fun," said Melody at the Queen suggestion. "But okay, that all makes sense. I presume that if you someone reliese you're in a dream, it becomes lucid by default?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2014 "Right. So... wanna try for a shared dream?" asked Melody Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2014 "I would except I need to operate the machine." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2014 "Can't you just ask Shadow or Rouge to do it. All the need to do is get ready to hit the abort button," pleaded Melody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 23 Aug 2014 "Ah, okay. You'll need to building in a sleep ray for the next version," joked Melody. "And I would like another dream while I nap, if that's okay." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
