Status: Private (Dream, Gabriel)
Setting: The Dreaming
Summary: Gabriel is led by Matthew to the Dreaming, where he talks with the Lord of Dreams.
A light frown, a focusing of will, and he was in the Dreaming.
Gabriel walked up to the gates of the palace at the centre of the Dreaming, taking in the changes Daniel had made. Everything seemed familiar, and yet different in some way. A light breeze stirred his robes and the feathers on his wings, the scenery in the distance seemed almost to ripple slightly, and he remembered how much he had enjoyed working with Morpheus. He paused before the wyvern, griffin and hippogriff. The griffin, too, was new, he noticed, but the other two most likely knew him by now.
"I am Gabriel, Messenger of God, and I come here at the request of your master."
They let him enter, and he followed Matthew to the throne room, bowing before the throne.
"Good afternoon, Lord Dream." He had asked Gabriel to call him Daniel, but Gabriel wasn't too sure if it applied to slightly more formal situations, or whichever this was.

Date: Tuesday, 8 June 2010 17:38 (UTC)The scenery around them seemed hard to focus on properly. In any moment the surroundings were easy to make out but with each step the surroundings seemed to be different somehow. It was impossible to ever catch them changing and although part of you knew they had changed another part knew that things had always been like this.
"Perhaps while we walk you can ask some of your questions."

"Are shared dreams possible? And what causes them? What are they like?"

Date: Friday, 18 June 2010 17:40 (UTC)"The problem comes in getting through the barriers. If a gap develops then I could slip in and deal with the problem. I have been watching and searching though and no such thing exists."
"As for your other question, shared dreams are possible but to happen on their own. They will seem like any other dream except for the fact that two people are real and not dreams. Depending on the situation the shared dream might be dominated by one or other dreamer, their mind shaping the dream around them. Or it might take elements from both participants. They shouldn't really happen but very rarely they do. Or sometimes they are necessary for various reasons. It is a little complicated to go into though."

The sky above looked like it had been stretched down into the void as if being consumed but now motionless.
"This is the problem here. You can't really see but the dreaming is being slowly eroded by this. I can afford that for a short time but no more."
"And shared dreams are plausible. It is possible that the dream bubble is chaotic and that there is not much separation between the dreams. I would be cautious in case it happens again."
"And I don't know what this might culminate in. I still don't fully understand what might have caused it. I am starting to suspect that there is something controlling the effect. Its growth seems to be somewhat unnatural. I would have expected it to have grown and perhaps even burst by now but it hasn't."

Date: Saturday, 19 June 2010 05:58 (UTC)"Who could do this to the Dreaming?" Who could pose such problems for Dream himself?
"I'll keep an eye on things, and try to get a message to you if anything abnormal happens," he offered.

Date: Tuesday, 22 June 2010 18:43 (UTC)Daniel turned away from the rip in the dreaming to face Gabriel. "Do let me know. The alternative is one I would do almost anything to avoid."

Date: Thursday, 24 June 2010 01:52 (UTC)His eyes widened slightly. The Dream Lord had just called him friend? A small smile played about his lips, despite the situation. Evidently Daniel was less aloof than Morpheus.
"I wish you the same, my friend," Gabriel smiled, bowing his head slightly before leaving.
