everyone

Hi. This is Sophia...not really speaking. Thinking? Projecting words into your unsuspecting eyes. I think? This is quite something.

I won't bother you much with my shock and awe about finding myself in a new place. I'm sure there's enough people experiencing the same things than me in your close vicinity. Help them, if you would. I'm sure they will appreciate it.

My reason to send this message is to offer my own help, in one way or another. Back in my world I was finally getting settled into what I had decided to call Dream Therapy. Basically, I can help you dwell into whatever issues you have and find positive, healthy ways to deal with them.

In your dreams. Weird, I know.

I've found that it's easier to visualize and deal with things one feel and think when you can make the issues literally show themselves. Ultimately it's all symbolic of course, but the learning one makes from it it's real indeed.

We can also just talk it out wide awake, I have some training in the more normal type of stuff.

Goodness, this has taken all too much space already. I'll just leave it at that. I don't really need payment of any sort, by the way. Just knowing I'm doing my part is enough.

Anyway, do let me know if you ever need something along those lines. Or if you just want to talk. I feel like I will have much free time for a while.

this is a very kind offer, sophia.

( punctuated by a delay whilst marc decides what he wants to say—think—thought-write next. is he mindful of the fact that his disappearance from (superhero) mandated therapy may have negative consequences? yes. is he mindful of the fact that his own, personal track record of choosing therapists is very, very bad? also yes. )

when you say dream therapy, what level of invasion in one's mind does that involve?

Hey Sophia.

Cool offer. Bet I've heard weirder.

[ He doesn't want to outright say this is something he's interested in, even though he absolutely is. Therapy in smalltown 1980s wasn't viewed quite as favorably as it is these days. ]

Question. What if your dreams are definitely not symbolic? What if you already know exactly what it's about?

And an only slightly broader question: how does it work? I mean, am I gonna have to keep a dream journal or ???

Hey, Sophia
Completely hypothetical question for a friend
What if the person you're trying to do the dream therapy on has a really weird sleep disorder

[aquilus]

Can you enter people's minds while they are conscious as well?

[Cutting to the chase.]

[carmesi]

Such kindness could be taken advantage of.

[Now, this is interesting. He debates whether or not to reply—it’s not as though he would ever take her up on this offer—but ultimately decides to at least toss a few questions out.]

Making “issues” show themselves symbolically? Can you give an example?
