Dream Journal: Wellspring
Dream this morning (and thank the lordy I'm starting to remember these things more often)~
Mushishi themed today! YAY.
So, Adashino and a few villagers have gone out into this bamboo forest, looking for an unnamed SOMETHING. Everyone is digging around the the bushes and under rocks and shit, and then Ginko shows up. Just as he arrives on the scene, Adashino happens to pull aside this pile of shrubbery and gravel, which uncovers an open kouki wellspring. So Ginko comes over to check it out, and suddenly, instead of spilling kouki out into the forest, the wellspring starts drawing things into it, like some kinda dry-land whirlpool.
Ginko makes Adashino back off, but gets pulled in himself, because mushi fuckin love to eat Ginko.
Anyway, the wellspring essentially deposits Ginko into this 'alternate dimension' type thing, where time moves a lot faster than normal. So from Ginko's perspective, he's trapped for YEARS AND FUCKING YEARS. He gets older, and ragged, and thin, and essentially looks like he's been in some kind of warzone.
Meanwhile, Adashino and the others somehow find a way to reverse the wellspring, and it spits Ginko back out. When Adashino goes over to examine the unconscious Ginko (why is he unconscious? I dunno.) he's shocked to find that the dude's all scraggly and like, 40-something years old. As opposed to late 20's early 30's? I have no idea.
So...yeah. That was the dream. No ending what-so-ever. Just Adashino going "WTF JUST HAPPENED?"
Because in his timeline, the whole thing only took about 10 minutes.
