==============================================================================
Dinner chatter outside Ye Olde Dream Clinicke:

"So last night, I went in with Sven to help him work through one of his issues.."
"Which.. Mommy or Daddy?"
"Oh, the Mother.. In-Law, this time. It's hopeless. Anyway, I was all set guiding him into The Boathouse of Iniquity again, when I noticed something really odd out to sea. You know.. Out. Somewhere beyond my usual perimeter."
"...Really. Huh. Go on..."
"I keep close tabs on those borders, you know, ever since that chaos weirdness with Eddie."
"Of course. We all do, now. But, go on."
"Uh, well, I know it was unprofessional of me, but I kind of left Sven just as he was hiding under the nasty canvas - though can you blame me, he always wants that smell so vivid while... nevermind - the point is, I went out to check, and came across a dreamscape of storm and fog.. the sounds of a battle out to sea, unnatural roars and beams of light. And there were lightning crackles made of a silver gold stuff.. chalk.."
"It's coral. Not chalk, coral."
"Yeah.. What? Wait, you mean you've been there, too?"
"Not just me. Couple others I know, who do what we do. We've been poking at it for a little while now. That place, it's somehow willfully persistent. It's like the Dreamer, or Dreamers, whoever they are, just never wake up..."
"Just.. whoa. Does feel like there's more than one, doesn't it?"
"More than two, even. Maybe."
"Like some sort of shared hallucination?"
"Hostile collaboration, more like. There's conflict.. a struggle. Someone's gonna lose their mind before it's over."
"Well, should we... do something?"
"Oh, I tried.. once. Pushed into that purple fog. It pushed back. There's someone like us already there, I think."
"Oh. Hope they're in there doing good, then."
"Yeah, and not the other thing.. like Eddie."
"Yeah. Speaking of nightmares, I guess it's back to the Boathouse with me tonight!"
