a6d POV

~

I begin to drive back home after Dream sent me his texts. If he actually knows the meaning behind my dreams, it would probably clear up a lot of information. I don't think the dreams really have an important meaning, though. Well, in general, I don't think any dream has a significant meaning. I finally get back home and park my car. I exit and go into my house where I'm greeted by Skeppy in the living room.

Skeppy waves, "Welcome back. How was it?"

"It went well, and I was able to talk to him."

"Do you mind telling me who you saw?"

"Liam," I frown.

Skeppy gasps and he stands up. He walks up to me in a panic, "Liam?! You saw him? Where?"

"He was sentenced to prison for life, and I had to treat some unsorted business."

He sighs and looks down, "That bastard deserved it, he traumatized me... But I believe he can change."  

"Well... he can't do much about it. He's stuck in there until he dies. It's... depressing, isn't it?"

"Yeah..."

We stand in silence, both of us filled with thoughts. Skeppy probably has mixed feelings about it, too. He believes Liam can get better, but he probably doesn't have any pity on him. I'm still not sure whether to feel bad or feel like I achieved something good because of Liam's state. I sigh and go into my office and sit at my desk. I rest my head into my hands, a lot has happened today. A lot has happened over the past few weeks, it was too much. I suddenly remember about Dream and he wanted to call me. I get on TS and call him, and he picks up after a few seconds.

"Hey, a6d! How are you?" He smiles.

"Eh, doing fine I guess."

"That's good. But I wanted to talk to you about your dreams, I found them interesting. The possibility of even having lucid dreams about... fighting, its intriguing, isn't it?"

"Mmm... It's more hurtful than you think..." I sigh.

Dream sighs and stays silent for a few seconds. I hear him type something on his computer and I get an email from him. It's an attachment of a document. I open it and see a 10 page document.

"What is this huge document you sent me?" I ask as I scroll down, skimming over the words.

"It's my analysis of your dreams," He says proudly.

"Wha- This 10 page document is your analysis?! Impressive... But did you really have to do all of this for me?"

"Yep! I did a lot of research over the past few days you were in the hospital. Go up to the first paragraph, it should be an explanation about the first dream you had."

I scroll up to the first paragraph and start to read it. It has a thorough description of everything. The fist fighting, Skeppy, me, the flame, swords, basically most of it.

Dream starts, "Okay. I've found a pattern in your dreams. We already know it has your friends in there, but it's always you battling them. You thought Skeppy was the murderer, and so I think you in the dream was fighting of what I think would be... Skeppy as the traitor? And so you possibly hated him for it, I don't know. It started as a fistfight, then progressively got into a sword battle. Which I think could be based on emotions, negative emotions. Make sense?"
