De L'Eau, Inception, Ariadne, G

[yeomanrand]

Ariadne tries to remember dreaming. Just dreaming, not making the dreamscape form to her whims and her wills -- or, more accurately, her employers' whims and wills.

She can't remember the last time, not even sitting here in her own dream, watching her child-self swim laps in a tidily chlorinated indoor pool. She tries to remember if either Cobb, the elder or the younger, had tried to warn her about not being able to let go control to the soundtrack of the child splashing about. Confused, but not in danger.

At least she doesn't have to worry about her own constructs turning against her, or confusingly inappropriate kisses from Arthur as a defense mechanism. She belongs in her own mind.

She hopes.

She draws in another deep breath, trying to relax, release, to stop rendering, stop building--on any scale at all. She closes her eyes in the dreamscape, tries not to wonder if she's just exiting REM.

A droplet of water catches on her face; another strikes her arm. She opens her eyes, stretching out her arms to feel the water rising up from the pool, striking against her skin of its own volition and none of her design.

She laughs, and laughing, wakes.

So cool! What a great way to use the image! (And I ♥ Ariadne, too.)

Thank you!

The water honestly looks as though it's falling upward to me, and I kept trying to figure out a scenario, and then a friend mentioned Inception and -- yes! Ariadne!

What an imaginative use of the image! I really like how you contrasted her earlier stress and planning-brain with the carefree image of playing with raindrops. :D

Thank you!

I have a feeling most Architects in Inception have planning-brain hangups. :)

This makes me want to watch Inception again. It must be such a hole to not be able to dream on your own and I love her reclaiming it and the glorious joy of rain.

[yeomanrand]

Well, thank you so very much -- and yes, I would think it would be a hole indeed.

[rubynye]

YES. Yes indeed!
