The Dreamer

 

The Dreamer cocked an eyebrow as Moyd failed to recognize Hyperlucid Dreaming, although if he had known Alice perhaps it had yet to be coined, she was the first after all. The Terminus made more sense.

 

"A Hyperlucid Dreamer is one whose dreams are projected physically into reality. If I dream of fire it really burns, a dog can dig up a garden." She demonstrated by focusing, calling over one of her many dreams still scattered around the room, a small feathered serpent swiftly flitting around her before continuing on it's flight. "As for the Terminus... it is an alternate dimension which is bent on conquering and subsuming all others."

 

She did her best not to think too hard about the Terminus as Moyd seemed to struggle with his memory, before he continued. She was not in agreement about the place of Dreams in the world, but decided not to argue. He was not exactly incorrect about some of the consequences. Instead she focused on answering his questions.

 

"We are in the Byron Art Gallery, in Freedom City of the United States of America. I live in this same city at a place called the Atomic Tower. I assist their research with my Dreams and also make donations to charity. I am a part of a team of superhumans called the Atom Academy, we do rescue work and further research. As for what holds my life together..." She pauses for a moment, contemplating. Her duties at the Atomic Tower were just that, a duty. She cared a great deal for the Atom Academy, but it hardly held her life together. She enjoyed spending time with Christopher and Lark, but that was simply recreation and the occasional heroics. "Oh stuff and bother, I do not know! I have been on this world for over four years and I do not know!"
