Paladins
Saffy and Mat are my guardians—they have to be in the same room with me at all times. (Koosi guards the perimeter and keeps me on my toes by biting my toes.) One early morning, about three years ago, I woke up from a deep sleep and saw a monumental figure standing at the foot of my bed. It looked like the Winged Victory of Samothrace, yes I know how weird this sounds. It was massive and brownish, and I didn’t notice if it had a head because I immediately turned away. I figured I was dreaming it, but then I noticed that Mat was crouched on my left and Saffy on my right, like library lions, and they were both staring at whatever that was at the foot of my bed. When I looked again, it was gone. So we all went back to sleep. I had been in a deep funk, but for some reason the “apparition” cheered me up. It may have been a collective dream.

i just saw an old episode of the xfiles (john dogget’s third case, i think) wherein this cult leader with a third eye influences the the kind of nightmares that his followers/enemies/whoever have. so we see one of the victims (a “scientist”) gnawed by rats (he used rats for…oh, sorry, no need to explain). maybe mat and safi felt that you needed to be cheered up, that’s why they gave you that “apparition.” well, just a thought…

I had one of those dreams back in highschool. I woke up in the middle of the night and there was a silhouette of a girl crouched next to my bed. I asked her, “sino ka?” and she said calmly, “ang konsensya mo.” And then I went back to sleep like it was the most normal thing in world to talk to your conscience in the middle of the night.
It seemed so real that there’s still an ongoing argument as to whether that was a dream or not.
