I'd rather not think about them at all.

Isn't that strange, though? Shouldn't it be a time of res? I thought that was the purpose of it — unless I'm completely mistaken, which I doubt. But then again, I've never had to 'sleep' before.

You're not human, are you?

Just because we're supposed to sleep at night, it doesn't always mean we can.

I'm not meant to be of flesh, but for the moment I have no choice, if that's what you mean.

No, I suppose that is a point. One doesn't always have the power to control how things should be. What do you usually do when you cannot rest?

I...

I'm usually around other people, so there's not really that much I can do. I just have to hope I stop thinking about whatever made me so upset that I couldn't sleep.

Maybe you should think about something pleasant in place of what's haunting your rest.

[ a beat ]

Like kittens. I hear people are fond of kittens. Or puppies.

[Hope makes an "uh-huh" sound as he shakes his head.]

That kind of stuff never helps. It's not enough.

That's unfortunate. Perhaps, then, you should try to surround yourself with people if that's helped you before?

It doesn't make any difference. The nightmares still come.

But there is comfort in the presence of others, isn't there?

Y-yeah...it does, at least a little.

No one should be alone when they're upset or troubled.

[identity profile] mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com 2011-11-04 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not. I have friends here with me.

Then you're lucky. Maybe they can help you feel better? Is there anything that can be done to help someone when they're sad about a world of visions in their heads, though?

It depends on how bad they are.

Does it...?
Why is that?

Sometimes helping someone when that happens can be really easy. Other times you might just make things worse, without even realizing it.

Really... [ well that's intriguing ] I would not have thought about it that way, to be honest.

[identity profile] mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com 2011-11-04 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
No one does. Why would they? All they're doing is trying to help.

You're rather bright, aren't you? [ her voice is soft for a moment ] I've never felt worry for people that I haven't known or housed before, but — will you be alright? Is there something I could do to help? I'm not so terribly fond of someone who seems so clever being upset.

[identity profile] mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com 2011-11-04 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, but...I don't think there is. I'm not the only one having nightmares like this, so I think there's more to it that we can't see.

[personal profile] somethingblue 2011-11-05 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's very likely. That's how it always appears to be, in my experience anyway.

[identity profile] mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com 2011-11-05 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
I wanna find out what's going on though. I won't leave things like this.

[personal profile] somethingblue 2011-11-05 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Such determination, do you really think you can work it all out?

[identity profile] mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com 2011-11-05 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
I've seen too many things going wrong. I'm not gonna let the the people I've met here suffer like this. Not if there's anything I can do about it.

That's a brave way to look at things. I'm sure other people here would assist you should you seek them out.
