I wouldn't worry too much about those dreams.
I think we're meant to, and they don't deserve a reward for that kind of trouble if you ask me.

[theman_among]

It's kind of hard to write that off, though, especially if they might have an underlying meaning.

[manly_jack]

I'm not saying don't try and second-guess them if you can. Just don't lose any more sleep over it, okay?

What kind of underlying meaning?

[theman_among]

Until they wake me up again, right?

You know... Things can be representative, or clues about the past or the future. I'm not even sure if that's how they work, but isn't that the usual idea about dreams?

[manly_jack]

Well, yeah. Sort of.
One thing you learn living in this place is, you grab your sleep when you can.

Normal dreams, sure. These dreams? I don't think they work like that.
I mean they might. But it seems like someone shapes them to fit the person. It's not your unconscious or the universe or whatever you're used to sending you dreams.

[theman_among]

But if it is a person sending these dreams, they much extract the subjects from the people here, anyway. In that sense, they're still a part of peoples' psyches.

And they could be a way of playing with us, too, and so who knows what's meant to happen and what's just a lie.

[manly_jack]

I guess. But not in a good way, if you ask me.

Right. That's why I'm saying, don't sweat it too much.

[theman_among]

Well, of course not.

I guess it's best not to worry until something's proven about it, yeah.

[manly_jack]

That's what I figure.

I'm John, by the way.

[theman_among]

I'm Kuwabara.

[manly_jack]

Is that Japanese?
Nice to meet you.

[theman_among]

Yeah. And likewise.
