Thank you for reading them all!! I'm so glad you liked it =D It was really fun to write, in a diving-into-Barney's-head kinda way..

awwwwwwwwwwwww! Was Robin real? Was she kissing him awake or did he dream it?

*looks pathetic hopeful*

I shall ignore this, seeing as how you read it in the wrong order ;) Thanks for reading!

No, I still don't get it! Because this actually IS the last one and does the itallics mean he's woken up?

>They're all on a hike up a mountain path. Pilgrims and tourists. Backpacks, ponchos, bare feet, parkas, sharp sunshine, dusty path littered with sharp little stones.

I'd like to think that we're all in that group, making a little metaphorical pilgrimage together and that this fictional world meets ours while Barney sleeps. <\pretension>

>But he's forgotten how to kiss and doesn't have wi-fi here to check wikipedia

Hee! Very Barney. He does treat love and hooking up as a technical enterprise.

I too was a bit confused by the ending. Like, I figured out what was going on, but it took a few re-reads. I think it's a new and interesting take, though, that Barney, even when he's gotten beyond this patch in his life, would still be haunted by his old deamons, still working through them, if only at night.

>leaning over him with a hand on his cheek and his dreams dissolve into nothingness in the quiet of morning, the shadows driven away by the rising sun.

Lovely

What a perfect way of putting it..of course we are! I forgot to mention we're climbing Mount Awesome here... ;)

>I too was a bit confused by the ending.
Hmm I don't really want to change this one, I want to leave it up to the reader to decide for him/herself.

>would still be haunted by his old deamons, still working through them, if only at night.
LOL daemons is such a pretentious way of saying demons. ;) But that was the whole point of these dreams indeed. And I'd like to think they could either all be in one night, or over many different nights. We usually only remember the dream we had right before waking anyway...

>Lovely
Thanks! I get quite nervous about my closing sentences usually, it's tough to just go into the cold endings you know? Like, I'm still not happy with the last sentence of Push...

I understand. Just thought I'd give you a heads-up.

>LOL daemons is such a pretentious way of saying demons. ;)

Haha! And when I'm being pretentious, I really should make sure I'm spelling things correctly. It kind of undermines the whole thing.

>Thanks! I get quite nervous about my closing sentences usually, it's tough to just go into the cold endings you know?

Truth. I think usually something great has to hit you over the head or else it's just going to never seem right.

Stupid writing *grumble, grumble*
