There's Is a Dib in the Nexus. A bishified Dib. A tired-looking bishified Dib. He sets his computer's headphones down and looks around at the nearby crowd.
"Alright, I've got a question. I've heard other people ask about dreams before. The type you have when you sleep, not aspirations and things like that. What do you think dreams are for?

"Besides not sleeping? Uhm, I don't know. We have a lot of spiritual items in Reikai, and I could look for something there for you, if you'd like."

"'Reikai'... I've heard of that before. Sure, I'd like to see what they can do anyway."

"It's where I work, the Spirit World in your language. And I will do."

"I also heard that it's some kind of power that some people can use around here, but that might be just a difference between worlds. And thanks." He nods.

A very. Bishie. Dib.
She blinks, looks around, realizes where she is, then blinks again, almost not catching his question.
She then makes some kind of odd, strangled sound not unlike an attempt to not squeal like a rabid fangirl.
Collecting herself and regaining her composure a bit, but still grinning like an idiot, she replies. "I get really insightful, profound, and sometimes even prophetic things when I dream, along with the occasional fandom blip. But I'm a really frequent and strong dreamer. Oh, and I tend to pop between dimensions sometimes too, like now. I would say that they're for everything you need to do but can't do normally, at least to me."
A pause.
"You know I've had a buncha dreams about you and given that dimensiony thing I do I don't suppose you're the same Dib I saw then and maybe remember any of those do you?" A somewhat evil flash glinted in her eyes ( ... )

The fourteen-year-old blinks. "Wait... what? I don't remember anything like that! I don't think I'm the same Dib you were dreaming about. Man, that sounds weird... waitaminute, what was I DOING in those dreams anyway?!"
((Eee! Dib-fangirling!))

"Then, when he finished his rant and explanation of the BRILLIANT PLAN he'd just put into action, he just plopped down on the floor all satisfied like and dragged you with him, wrapping his arms around you possessively. There was a long, awkward pause, and then you said, 'You're aware how slashy this looks, right?' and Zim just replied 'I knoooow.' It was cute as hell." Her grin has gone into cheshire proportions by now, and she's obviously watching to see exactly what Dib's reaction is.
((I have so been watching for an opportunity to torment talk to Dib with this pup, and you basically just granted my EVERY WISH. :D And that's an actual dream I had once, btw.))

See this, this is now a very broken-brained and even blushing Dib. "I, uh... R-really?" He replies, his voice covering two octaves at once. Perhaps that hits closer to home than she might think?
((Awh, he has a stalker! ^_^ *loves to torment the lil' confused teen as well, OH yes.*))

"And there should be pills you can take to put you so deeply into sleep that you don't remember your dreams. Doesn't stop you from dreaming, but it's just as good."

"Unconcious needs... Yeah, that's what I've heard and I really really hope it isn't true but the hallucinogen thing makes sense too. There might be SOMETHING to a few of them, but most are just... random images and stuff."
Dib nods. "Those are supposed to work, but there are a lot of side-effects..." That and the mandatory skool behavior-adjustment program tried to drug him into a coma already, he doesn't really want to do it to himself too. Drooling really sucks.
Reply
"Are the dreams worse than the potential side-effects? If you don't want to risk it, apparently setting your alarm to go off every fifteen or twenty minutes will keep you from getting into REM sleep. It's dangerous though, and people can get really messed up or go insane." It's scary, the things one learns through... well, people like him.
Reply
"I really don't like the idea of going insane over all this." He blathers, all pretense of objective curiosity falling completely away. "And they're not really BAD--I mean, they're bad, but they're not nightmarish. I just, uh..." He trails off.
Reply
"My dreams're...well, near anythin', really. 'Fore I go t' sleep, my half-dreams're always scary. I dunno what they are. I think they're just different thoughts."
