[Twilight Perion] Behind the Dream

You are Behind the Dream. This is a dream world that hasn't been created yet. Most residents never set foot here. Clearly, you are no resident.

If you're wondering why it looks this way here, it's because this dream world is made and maintained by a person. No one person can imagine a whole world all at once. Only a portion of it, and then only with the help of other people's subconscious. As you can see, it's all rather unstable.

Me? Oh, I'm a resident. I just happen to be aware that I'm dreaming. Maybe it's lucid dreaming, after a fashion, or maybe there's some outside influence on my subconscious. Either way, if I'm aware, I reason others must be too.

You being here means there's something you want. You must have reached behind the dream to find something you couldn't fulfill inside it. So what it is you want, exactly?

Is there nothing you want? Hmm. I don't believe you. Think it over.

...Hmm. You want to sever the link between the dream and reality... That's a good idea for all of us.

The greater the nightmare in reality, the more impoverished the dream world becomes. One of them will always affect the other. The only way to stabilize both is to sever the link between the two.

Now, separating the dream from reality, that's easier said than done. But we can weaken the link, with a little something called oblivion. It's like forgetting a dream in the morning, when it disappears into the fog.

If the Fog of Oblivion were here, it would hide the dream from reality, and vice versa. But that fog isn't here, obviously.

If that fog were in place, people would forget the nightmare. You'll have to find the Fog of Oblivion and bring it where it needs to be.

You want to know where you can find the Fog of Oblivion? Well... let's put it this way. Everything's forgotten in time.
