Regarding the Dream Message

Started by The7DeadlyVenomz, April 21, 2006, 01:42:52 PM

Perhaps You dream: should be changed to In your dreams.

Using an example:
You dream:
A great city lies before you, white shit falling from the sky.

...or...
In your dreams, a great city lies before you, white shit falling from the sky.

Maybe the second flows better?

In your dreams, templars bow down to you and everybody likes you.

I like it!  I use the think command while sleeping a lot, mostly due to boredom.

Bump?  I'd like to see this.
Child, child, if you come to this doomed house, what is to save you?

A voice whispers, "Read the tales upon the walls."

I think this is something that is going to vary from person to person, and I'm not convinced that there is an overwhelming preference for this over the current message (or some third, fourth, fifth, etc. alternative)  Accordingly, my intent is to stick with the simpler message.

I personally would like to see a change.

Or maybe it would be better to just have an 'imagine' command.
Thinking during sleep will remain regular thoughts.

The 'imagine' command would be used for all sorts of visual focusing, visions, daydreams and regular dreams.

awake> imagine all the people living for today
You imagine all the people living for today.

asleep> imagine all the people are living for today
In your dream, all the people are living for today.


This also helps resolving the awkward in-dream thoughts problem, and would allow us all to daydream - plus, visions and imaginary images are something I try to make extensive use of with my magickers, and this command could make it more flowing.

Imagine's not bad.

Imagine is nice, a sort of way to paint what's on the mind's eye.  Arguably, could be done with think, but think seems very much like surface thoughts.  The outermost inner voice.

I would love to see something like imagine.
If I eat food there wont be any room for Marduk, slayer of Tiamat!"

I wouldn't really want to see an imagine command.  I think the overlap with think is too great and it would be more confusing than useful (especially to newbies).

Uh ..... what?

I don't get that, Rusting Lizard.

Well, I think anything you could do with imagine is adequately covered by think, and it would be confusing to have two commands which aren't very different.

I disagree.  As I stated (and as the setup of the command suggests), think seems to be more surface thoughts.  Picture think as the mind's say, and imagine as the mind's emote.  It would work awesome while sleeping, too.

Just the way I see it.
