[SPEAKER_03]: You were listening to tales yet tall, an actual play show dealing in horrific and often heavy topics and themes at the intersection of queerness and horror.
[SPEAKER_03]: Content warnings, list of casting crew, and other relevant links can be found in the description.
[SPEAKER_03]: Viewer discretion is advised.
[SPEAKER_07]: October fifth, eighty five eight.
[SPEAKER_07]: Dear diary.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I need to do some digging.
[SPEAKER_07]: I couldn't stop thinking about what the system accused me of yesterday.
[SPEAKER_07]: I feel like I would remember if I wrote a story about a second son rising into this blind.
[SPEAKER_07]: If just kind of feels like I think you'd remember, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: But if the system says I did,
[SPEAKER_07]: than I probably did.
[SPEAKER_07]: The system is never wrong about these kinds of things, which only gives us two possibilities.
[SPEAKER_07]: Either I wrote this purple sun into a story in a few states in the writers room and completely forgot about it, which is a pretty troubling prospect in its own right, so I don't really want to entertain the idea.
[SPEAKER_07]: Or, this is the fallout of a previous story.
[SPEAKER_07]: An unforeseen consequence passed the not so happy ending, which happens more often than you think.
[SPEAKER_07]: I've written thousands of stories over the years, planting seeds to watch God and scroll.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's fascinating how a story evolves over time, how it changes, how it grows, how it spreads.
[SPEAKER_07]: Take our trouble makers, for instance.
[SPEAKER_07]: One day they're bumbling around a diner trying to get home in a couple of days later, they're being accused of a terrorist attack that's killed or transformed dozens of people in a town now surrounded by a hedge labyrinth.
[SPEAKER_07]: You never know where a story is going to take you, and thus, the digging.
[SPEAKER_07]: I need to look through some of my old stories, checking on where those characters have gone, what they're doing now.
[SPEAKER_07]: And maybe I'll find that the source of this second son is merely just an old story bearing new fruit.
[SPEAKER_07]: Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of Tails yet told an actual play podcast focused on collaboratively telling stories at the intersection of queerness and horror using indeed TTRPGs.
[SPEAKER_07]: My name is Contractor Kendo, whichever you prefer.
[SPEAKER_07]: And with me today for the first time is Nathan.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is one of those that just hit me in this moment of like
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, I'm hearing, I'm hearing you tells you to hold intro in the moment.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, I'm, I'm in this one.
[SPEAKER_06]: You're here.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hi, Kendall.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hi listeners.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's me Nathan.
[SPEAKER_07]: How, oh my gosh.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm so excited for this.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm so, you and I have been talking about this one for a hot second.
[SPEAKER_06]: A few seconds.
[SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_06]: Every one of them has been hot.
[SPEAKER_06]: I can't confirm that.
[SPEAKER_07]: I've had to take off all my clothes because it was so hard in here.
[SPEAKER_06]: There's a few reasons for that.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's be honest.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's not just the summer weeks, but you know, that's neither here nor there.
[SPEAKER_06]: That is up for the listeners imagination.
[SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: But the reason why we're gathered here today is because today we are playing dream investigator by
[SPEAKER_07]: Hey Nathan, you made this game.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's me.
[SPEAKER_07]: I did that.
[SPEAKER_07]: You did this one.
[SPEAKER_07]: Tell people about your game if they haven't heard of Dream Investigator before.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you again for letting me.
[SPEAKER_06]: If inviting me to be clear, it wasn't that I came to beg.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, I'm not too proud to beg, but
[SPEAKER_06]: to be clear.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm supposed to be here.
[SPEAKER_06]: But thank you so much for inviting me to come in and noodle about this weird little game for a little bit and be a part of Tails yet told.
[SPEAKER_06]: So first and foremost wanted to say that.
[SPEAKER_06]: But Dream Investigator is the first game that I've ever put out and is also I think this is the first time I've ever actually spent a good amount of time talking about it in social media posts.
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll see how this pitch goes.
[SPEAKER_06]: I hope you're listening and home find it interesting and not blabbering.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think you got this.
[SPEAKER_06]: DREAM investigator is a solo-ish journaling-ish game that's basically about slowing down, getting into a creative state of mind.
[SPEAKER_06]: trusting your intuition and then reflecting a little bit on what you created.
[SPEAKER_06]: The premise of the game is that you are an agent of the mysterious all capital letters bureau, no further information provided and you are tasked
[SPEAKER_06]: with exploring your own subconscious to find whatever wonderful, weird, horrible, scary, and heartwarming things that may or may not be in there.
[SPEAKER_06]: Really, it's kind of a game that's just about trusting yourself to make and enjoy something.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a lot about pausing and breathing and creating without knowing what you're creating and kind of just enjoying.
[SPEAKER_06]: The idea was spawned during the twenty twenty-five David Lynch game jam and the basic design goal is basically crash madlips with weird vivid dreams.
[SPEAKER_06]: and create something weird, and then meditate about it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And this experience is gonna be a little bit more probably linear and adversarial than the base game, but I think you'll get a good taste of it, hopefully.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, because we're taking your game that was meant for people to sit down, spend some time with themselves and really think about and be able to reflect on these aspects of their subconscious words that they've created out of the ether and seeing that mesh with something else and try to gain something from that.
[SPEAKER_07]: And in typical tales, yet told fashion,
[SPEAKER_07]: I have turned that into some kind of capitalistic corporate horror in which you are still reflecting on those dreams in some way, but truly what matters more quote unquote to the narrative is what the company who specifically asking for this information would like to use it for.
[SPEAKER_06]: to be clear the bureau in the game at least at face value seems to be a pretty fairly nice benevolent organization is very very thankful for you for participating in this and and I imagine in my brain not at all a capitalistic or maybe even government owned and it's very nice really actually where is this one is well we'll see we'll play to find out as they say
[SPEAKER_07]: We play to find out what happens.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I guess is there let's let's because we're not going to be doing a lot of
[SPEAKER_07]: of mechanics talk in the game because it's not really one where you do it.
[SPEAKER_07]: In fact, technically we'll be playing the game, not really.
[SPEAKER_07]: I was going to say it's raw because we're supposed to, you're supposed to record it and then listen back to it and reflecting.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I will be doing that to you a certain degree, but it's not necessarily the most rules as real.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I would say the very new kind of concocted.
[SPEAKER_06]: has the major elements of it, just in some reordered ways and in some differently flavored kind of ways.
[SPEAKER_06]: But yeah, it's really a, it is a game designed to be played over multiple sessions.
[SPEAKER_06]: There are in the base game are seven different investigations kind of available.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it is just truly, it starts with a lot of deep breathing, a lot of setting the mood with music, with
[SPEAKER_06]: candles with whatever it is that you kind of need to enter into that space of mind and then just rapid fire free associations.
[SPEAKER_06]: What's like, hey, Kendall, give me a verb.
[SPEAKER_06]: Give me an adverb.
[SPEAKER_06]: Give it to me.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now, but it starts with an S, like whatever.
[SPEAKER_06]: And that is all the information you get.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then you take those answers.
[SPEAKER_06]: You put them in to a Mad Libs style, weird surreal, lynchian, you know, kind of written thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then
[SPEAKER_06]: You see what you came up with.
[SPEAKER_06]: And sometimes you get weird funny results that are very goofy.
[SPEAKER_06]: Sometimes you're like, oh, holy shit, this makes me think of my second grade teacher who did this one thing this one time that has been neighbor curing nightmare for me for a long time.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then you just spend some time with yourself thinking about it.
[SPEAKER_06]: thinking about what you did, thinking about what came up, what make how it makes you feel, trying to find, trying to look at maybe this very scary thing, this very weird thing, this very goofy thing, this very nonsense, cool thing maybe, and trying to find your own meaning in this strange piece of art that we have created together.
[SPEAKER_06]: And that is hopefully what can do when I will be doing here, this recording session.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh yeah, so with that, let's get into it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Adverb, ending in L-Y.

[SPEAKER_07]: The subject of this entry is dream analysis acquired by Capricorn from the Sudicals R&D Department as an extension of Operation Morpheus to attain additional biographical information about target loud fox.
[SPEAKER_07]: This entry is part one of three.
[SPEAKER_07]: In accordance with Operation Murphy's Protocol, the R&D Department also sent over a list of questions from an answer about the attached recording.
[SPEAKER_07]: These two will be a part of my entry.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now, beginning dream analysis.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hello, Zeptex.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please, come in and have a seat.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, sure.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hello, how are you today?
[SPEAKER_06]: Good.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm tired, I guess, otherwise good.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you for sharing.
[SPEAKER_06]: Before we begin, can you please confirm your organization issued a call sign?
[SPEAKER_06]: Flirty duck.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Next, can you please provide your chosen code word or code phrase?
[SPEAKER_06]: Dead on the water.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Before we proceed, I would like to advise you that your name and other personal identifiers are not a part of this process and divulging that information outside of the scope of the dreamscape is not advised and may expel you from the experiment.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you understand?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, I understand.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: My name is Dr. Robert Jennings and I will be serving as your visualization anchor today.
[SPEAKER_06]: We really appreciate your willingness to participate in all of this very important research.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, can we just give this a little bit?
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Before we begin, I need to confirm a few final biographical details.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you understand and consent?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, yes, I consent.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: What is your age?
[SPEAKER_06]: What is your current residence?
[SPEAKER_06]: And please note, this is related to the region of the sublime that you are located in, not your home address, which has been and should remain redacted.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is city name fine?
[SPEAKER_07]: However, you interpret this question.
[SPEAKER_07]: Fine.
[SPEAKER_07]: I live in Walton, I guess like Northside Walton, over by the library.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: What is your current diagnosis and estimated remaining light expectancy?
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, I'm cursed, turning into a skunk, uh, and well, like, God gave me seven months, three months ago, so I guess forward left.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you, and I'm so sorry to hear that.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, whatever.
[SPEAKER_06]: Have you been on the proprietary CBP medication known as Kettagart for at least one calendar week but no more than three calendar weeks?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I've been on it for like, what?
[SPEAKER_06]: We can have like, twelve days, something like that.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_06]: Have you experienced any particularly vivid dreams since taking Kettagart?
[SPEAKER_06]: It's kind of, uh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, we don't usually dream, but I had a dream last night.
[SPEAKER_07]: The doctors told me I would have like dreams and it was kind of weird that like for a while I just wasn't.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Did you dream last night?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, yes, that's what I just said.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please describe your dream to me, and as much detail as possible, leaving nothing no matter how personal or embarrassing it may be out of your retelling.
[SPEAKER_06]: Really?
[SPEAKER_06]: Why, why don't fucking need to know me?
[SPEAKER_06]: Whatever.
[SPEAKER_06]: Whenever you are ready.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think it started off with me.
[SPEAKER_07]: I was doing something.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know what it was, but I was doing something.
[SPEAKER_07]: Then I started what I was doing.
[SPEAKER_07]: My teacher was looking directly at me, swiftly, like, and walk eyes, and I'm filled with joy.
[SPEAKER_07]: My hands holding the car full to my sides.
[SPEAKER_07]: He taps his knee and outwage.
[SPEAKER_07]: Felix, the teacher, says, stand down.
[SPEAKER_07]: In the rest of the class, Joggs, he is so short that I feel like I can't shout.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know if that makes, like it's, and then everyone's eyes are on me.
[SPEAKER_07]: The teacher says, that's how a fox behaves.
[SPEAKER_07]: You want to grow up to be a fox or an equal.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's like what the fuck does that mean?
[SPEAKER_06]: I cannot provide any feedback on interpretation of your dream or resuscitation, whatever.
[SPEAKER_06]: Subjects.
[SPEAKER_06]: Briefly, in the dream, does your reply in the affirmative or negative to that question?
[SPEAKER_06]: I said, yeah, please continue.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know how I get his words.
[SPEAKER_07]: They sound, it sounds briny.
[SPEAKER_07]: To hear myself say that, as if someone else said it, and I'm immediately puzzled and inside, and then both, and then more.
[SPEAKER_07]: My teacher looks down at me more loosely.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's got to the delinquent corner.
[SPEAKER_07]: He says pointing to this.
[SPEAKER_07]: My forehead halvers next to the wall as a slouch and stare into this red corner.
[SPEAKER_07]: But I can't see what's happening behind me.
[SPEAKER_07]: I would turn around if I could, which I can't.
[SPEAKER_07]: I know I can't turn around.
[SPEAKER_07]: Behind me,
[SPEAKER_07]: chemistry lesson continues despite the waspurs.
[SPEAKER_07]: Everyone knows all the answers.
[SPEAKER_07]: It pisses me off.
[SPEAKER_07]: This naked glance happened nearby a window, the socks I see here.
[SPEAKER_07]: So beautiful.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like cry in the corner.
[SPEAKER_07]: I wait.
[SPEAKER_07]: The waspurs get
[SPEAKER_07]: younger sounding underneath the questions and answers and learning.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I want to see what they're saying so badly.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like, are they talking about me about what I did?
[SPEAKER_07]: About me being into the Lincoln corner.
[SPEAKER_02]: They'll shoot at me, but they're not better than me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm saying they're
[SPEAKER_07]: Be it eventually the bell, the whales.
[SPEAKER_07]: When I get home, my dad asks me what I did.
[SPEAKER_06]: Subject, what did your dad do next?
[SPEAKER_06]: He left us.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Subjectsplighted up.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you for participating in today's survey.
[SPEAKER_06]: Additional instructions will be provided.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thanks.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do a give more of the stuff for that is the end of this week's session.
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll see you in one week's time.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please pick up additional refills of the medication at the front desk outside.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_07]: beginning post-stream analysis.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question one, what did you like about this dream?
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't have any personal feelings about this dream.
[SPEAKER_07]: However, as it pertains to the investigation, things that I liked about this dream were the things that
[SPEAKER_07]: pointed towards a sixty to perhaps seventy five percent accurate target acquisition there is enough information here such as the mentioning of foxes the isolation during the period of time that seems to be their childhood at the points in which they were at school their lack of academic
[SPEAKER_07]: success during that period of time and the leaving of their father at the end of the dream are all indicators that the primary perspective of the dream is from target loud fox.
[SPEAKER_07]: It is also helpful for that these dreams are from a first person perspective and also give us emotional information to perhaps build a more solid emotional map for target loud fox.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question two, what stood out to you?
[SPEAKER_07]: The dreamers' ability to experience the emotions of the perspective that they take in the dream allows us to build a more nuanced picture of the target.
[SPEAKER_07]: Loud Fox seems to experience shame.
[SPEAKER_07]: Isolation, both from their peers and authority figures in their life and family members as well.
[SPEAKER_07]: The dreamer made mention of being in a car while the rest of the students were jogging, which could be signifying a sense of superiority or at the very least a sense of having a greater ability than the rest of their peers, but still feeling shame, guilt, and isolation because of those supposedly superior abilities.
[SPEAKER_07]: The target is isolated because they are so much better or perhaps they move faster since cars move faster than jogging while not necessarily being a superior mode of transportation.
[SPEAKER_07]: Though potentially is more superior depending on the situation.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question three, whether any moments that seemed unintuitive or unnatural, what might those unusual moments say?
[SPEAKER_07]: There's a singular color that is mentioned within the stream, and that is the color red.
[SPEAKER_07]: It is the role that the dreamer says that they are looking at when they are put into the Lincoln corner.
[SPEAKER_07]: Red typically is symbolical color, meaning anger, passion, blood, or violence.
[SPEAKER_07]: And that being the case, it makes sense that loud fox would hone in on this emotion and the feeling amidst the scorn of their peers and authority figures.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now, would this be enough to push loud fox over the edge and commit harm against other people, or take advantage of them?
[SPEAKER_07]: That is yet to be shown.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question four, do you see reflections of your reality in the dream?
[SPEAKER_07]: Speaking on a personal note, I knew children like this when I was in school.
[SPEAKER_07]: There are a lot of children who come from outside of the sublime and into the sublime and have problems fitting in and having problems assimilating at their period of time in their life.
[SPEAKER_07]: Their emotions are deregulated, their sense of stability, almost nothing, which makes sense for children going through the re-education process.
[SPEAKER_07]: I have seen these children before in my own life amongst the children of my friends and amongst those I see on the street.
[SPEAKER_07]: If the dream was in fact taking the perspective of loud fox, then I would go as far as to say that loud fox's experience is not unique to them in the sublime.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question five, do you think the dream says anything about you?
[SPEAKER_07]: I do not have any reason to believe that this dream has anything to say about me at this time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question six, who do you want to tell about this dream?
[SPEAKER_00]: Is anything stopping you?
[SPEAKER_07]: I do not have any need at this time to tell anyone other than my superiors about this stream, which I am doing so with the entry that I am currently recording.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question seven, do you wish the dream kept going?
[SPEAKER_00]: If so, what would you like to see happen?
[SPEAKER_07]: I believe the dream stopped exactly when it needed to for the information that it was giving us.
[SPEAKER_07]: If it had kept going, I would say I would have liked to see anything about the perspectives of their parent.
[SPEAKER_07]: That would then give us even more information to work off of to get to a hundred percent ID for this stream analysis.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question eight, what would you change about this dream?
[SPEAKER_07]: There is nothing that I would necessarily want to change about this dream.
[SPEAKER_07]: Rather, if there was a situation where I could change the reality that inspired this dream, I would rather see a situation in which a child was being supported by their teacher rather than being ridiculed.
[SPEAKER_07]: But that is on a personal note.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question nine, what are you taking with you?
[SPEAKER_07]: For this part of this entry, I am taking with me that the dream analysis seems to have locked in on the target in the way that Operation Morphias had been hoping.
[SPEAKER_07]: My hope is that parts two and three of this entry will give us even more information to get a one hundred percent ID on the target while also providing biographical information or any identifying information about loud foxes associates and perhaps identifying a motive for wanting to work with anarchists.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question ten, what do you want to leave behind?
[SPEAKER_07]: There is information in the stream that I am not sure is necessarily useful for this investigation, such as the difference between a fox and an eagle.
[SPEAKER_07]: Such concepts are mostly in the realm of speculation that I do not have time to dabble in.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question eleven, what is this dream titled?
[SPEAKER_07]: For the purposes of this investigation, I will be titleing this dream, their delinquent corner.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question twelve,
[SPEAKER_00]: What do you need to do to recover from this experience?
[SPEAKER_07]: There's nothing that I need at this time to recover from this experience.
[SPEAKER_07]: And that is the conclusion of the post-stream analysis.
[SPEAKER_07]: Comments are note, I will be titling this entry, twenty-six A, to represent that there are multiple parts to this entry.
[SPEAKER_07]: Parts two and three will be titled twenty-six B and twenty-six C respectively, in note.
[SPEAKER_07]: And with that, I conclude entry in twenty-six A for submission to case file QBFO-to-L.

[SPEAKER_06]: Do you have any specifics about anything?
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: What is your age?
[SPEAKER_06]: Twenty-seven.
[SPEAKER_06]: What is your current residence?
[SPEAKER_06]: Please note, this is your region in the sublime, not home address, which has been and should remain redacted.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: I live in the Walton, Thecca, I'm out for a do you need more specifics than that?
[SPEAKER_06]: Whatever the prompt brings to mind for you, Walton.
[SPEAKER_06]: What is your current diagnosis and estimated remaining life expectancy?
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm cursed, turning into a scum for a moment.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm so sorry to hear that.
[SPEAKER_06]: Have you been on the proprietary CBP medication known as Kettigart for at least two calendar weeks, but no more than four calendar weeks?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, I've been on it for nineteen days.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Have you continued to experience particularly vivid dreams since taking Kettigart?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I have.
[SPEAKER_07]: I assume you want to know
[SPEAKER_06]: about it.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm most certainly too.
[SPEAKER_06]: However, I have a few more questions first.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now, okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: What mood are you in?
[SPEAKER_07]: A little irritated.
[SPEAKER_07]: Haven't I do this every time I come here?
[SPEAKER_07]: You already have the information so it feels like, you know, you should.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you need to do anything else to get in your preferred headspace to make this a meaningful experience?
[SPEAKER_06]: What?
[SPEAKER_06]: To make what you know, I'm good.
[SPEAKER_06]: I just want to get it over with.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you have time to take care of yourself afterwards?
[SPEAKER_06]: It's not.
[SPEAKER_06]: How can you make time?
[SPEAKER_07]: What the fuck is that?
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, okay, uh, do I have sure?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I was, I mean, yeah, I was planning on hanging out with some friends.
[SPEAKER_07]: After this, so like, I guess that's how I'm taking care of myself.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is there anything taking up space in your mind today?
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh
[SPEAKER_06]: Did you dream last night?
[SPEAKER_06]: I'd literally, yes, yes I did.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you call signslighted up.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please take a moment and close your eyes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Fine.
[SPEAKER_06]: Breathe deeply and stay totally still and silence for at least ten seconds.
[SPEAKER_06]: I will alert you when the ten seconds are up.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is this really necessary?
[SPEAKER_06]: Stay totally still and silent for at least ten seconds.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'll let you know when the ten seconds are up.
[SPEAKER_06]: Starting your ten seconds now.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you would like to remain totally still in silence for additional time, say and do nothing.
[SPEAKER_06]: However, ten seconds have a lap.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now, let's give this over work.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please state your code word for code phrase.
[SPEAKER_06]: Better do it in the water.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Take three deep breaths.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Subject.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please tell me about last night's dream in as much detail as you can.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do not leave out any details no matter how personal or embarrassing.
[SPEAKER_07]: Stair, after stare, after stare, I drag my body.
[SPEAKER_02]: My legs burn.
[SPEAKER_02]: My heart sculks.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm filled with the plain
[SPEAKER_07]: grief, the kind you expect.
[SPEAKER_07]: I continue to make a scent.
[SPEAKER_07]: The personal room, my shoulders, as I'm moving to deliberately.
[SPEAKER_07]: I change my gates in the scent.
[SPEAKER_07]: Every little sound echoes in here.
[SPEAKER_07]: I feel filthy.
[SPEAKER_07]: And then finally the doors.
[SPEAKER_07]: Journeys that are strange and dark are the only ones worth taking.
[SPEAKER_07]: The person over my shoulder says, and I say nothing.
[SPEAKER_07]: The doors are graceful.
[SPEAKER_07]: They were once painted red, they think, but they were chipped and faded now.
[SPEAKER_07]: And it still bears the design of the tree on it.
[SPEAKER_07]: It made me feel bitter.
[SPEAKER_07]: Are we shall both hands and linger over the cruel handles?
[SPEAKER_07]: Something runs to me.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now, the person over my shoulder says, and I do as they say.
[SPEAKER_07]: They stand in the candle for them.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's full mouth if can't supply stacked up to the ceiling.
[SPEAKER_07]: The same fallen face on the labels, look out from the walls.
[SPEAKER_07]: over and over.
[SPEAKER_07]: I can see their long knees.
[SPEAKER_07]: No matter where I look, the candle casts long shadows.
[SPEAKER_07]: There's an outsider in front of me.
[SPEAKER_07]: I do recognize them.
[SPEAKER_07]: The person over my shoulder picks up a die and starts to cling.
[SPEAKER_07]: The voice is calm.
[SPEAKER_07]: I can feel it in my fingers.
[SPEAKER_07]: The person waiting for me in the room extended a hand swaying to the music.
[SPEAKER_07]: The music moves me.
[SPEAKER_07]: I've been a whole way again.
[SPEAKER_07]: I know the other one is still behind me over my shoulder and I know I have to keep moving.
[SPEAKER_07]: Out of nowhere they laugh hard.
[SPEAKER_07]: It doesn't sound right.
[SPEAKER_07]: It makes me feel safe.
[SPEAKER_07]: I keep jumping.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's all I can do.
[SPEAKER_07]: Choose.
[SPEAKER_07]: The outsider from the forest is as they walk in front of me.
[SPEAKER_07]: I hesitate filled with love.
[SPEAKER_07]: The voice over my shoulder chastises me.
[SPEAKER_07]: It asks
[SPEAKER_07]: How I could be so bright.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is the turning point.
[SPEAKER_07]: The outside of your cells.
[SPEAKER_07]: You get to know.
[SPEAKER_07]: You have to.
[SPEAKER_07]: And the singing fills my ears, the phone is ringing.
[SPEAKER_06]: Muffin?
[SPEAKER_06]: Subject.
[SPEAKER_06]: In the dream.
[SPEAKER_06]: Who's the voice is it that calls to you?
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's a friend of mine.
[SPEAKER_06]: Not someone from school, I think.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please continue whenever you are ready.
[SPEAKER_07]: I was worried about today for some reason.
[SPEAKER_07]: Someone passes behind me and I turned to see, but then I woke up.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: That is the end of this week's session.
[SPEAKER_06]: We will see you in one week's time.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please pick up additional refills of the medication at the front desk outside.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, wait, question.
[SPEAKER_07]: Because I've been getting weird dreams like this lately.
[SPEAKER_07]: Is this the drugs?
[SPEAKER_06]: What do you keep asking about them?
[SPEAKER_06]: As you know, from the waiver that you sign, as part of your onboarding process for this trial, vivid dreams are among the many potential albeit very safe side effects that the drug can cause.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're simply trying to measure its effects on our very helpful beloved test subjects.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's weird.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's fucking weird.
[SPEAKER_06]: I might think you know that, but... Fuck it.
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll see you in one week's time.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please pick up additional refills of the medication at the front desk outside.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, whatever.
[SPEAKER_07]: Beginning post-stream analysis.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question one.
[SPEAKER_00]: What did you like about this dream?
[SPEAKER_07]: The thing that I like about this dream is that it is beginning to give us a full picture of target loud fox.
[SPEAKER_07]: If, in fact, the perspective of this dream is target loud fox.
[SPEAKER_07]: We are getting an image of a person who is deeply frustrated, angry and full of rage, acts this world and situation they find themselves in.
[SPEAKER_07]: And we are starting to see some of that rage and bitterness being directed to imagery of the sublime.
[SPEAKER_07]: specifically act the red door with faded paint and this tree which may be the memorial tree or perhaps some other symbolic iconography that loud fox identifies with the sublime.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question two, what stood out to you?
[SPEAKER_07]: This mentioning of a candle room right before the interaction with this outsider who seems to be trying to push them or pull them into some kind of action.
[SPEAKER_07]: This candle room might be symbolic for a room in which things are illuminated for them as in perhaps this is where the outsider has a given them the information that has quote unquote disillusioned them too life in the sublime or maybe it is a physical place a business that this person this outsider might be working at or inhabit in some way shape or form.
[SPEAKER_07]: This may give us a starting place on identifying this potential associate, this outsider.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question three, whether any moments that seemed unintuitive or unnatural, what might those unusual moments say?
[SPEAKER_07]: In both this dream and the previous dream, there are several moments where the dreamer mentions another voice.
[SPEAKER_07]: Either someone who is speaking for them or someone who is speaking to them, guiding their actions.
[SPEAKER_07]: I believe that this may be indicative of the perspective of this dream coming from someone who
[SPEAKER_07]: is or was cursed.
[SPEAKER_07]: This voice, perhaps being a hallucination, which would then be a signifier of the beginning stages of the Stranger's curse.
[SPEAKER_07]: And we do know that loud fox was at room point in their life cursed.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question four, do you see reflections of your reality in the dream?
[SPEAKER_07]: Unlike the previous stream, this one takes place in a more metaphysical space.
[SPEAKER_07]: The stairs that the dreamer claims to be rocking down doesn't seem to be grounded in any actual location, and perhaps the candle room isn't as well.
[SPEAKER_07]: I will be reporting the description of this red door and the candle room to other bureau agents to see if we can identify the location of this door and this candle room if they do in fact exist.
[SPEAKER_07]: That being said, the emotions and situations that the dream perspective is experiencing are not familiar experiences to me.
[SPEAKER_07]: I have not experienced what the dreamer or what the perspective
[SPEAKER_07]: has experienced.
[SPEAKER_07]: I've never had to live like that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Nor have I ever been cursed, which I would imagine may create additional stress on the situation.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question five, do you think the dream says anything about you?
[SPEAKER_07]: only personal note.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think I am recognizing in this moment that target loud fox or at the very least the perspective of the stream has had a very different experience within the sublime than I have.
[SPEAKER_07]: Their isolation from their family, their friends, no one to support them through their struggles.
[SPEAKER_07]: I've been very lucky to have those things and it is regrettable that anyone would find themselves in this situation.
[SPEAKER_07]: It makes them easy targets for the anarchists and for anti-sublime propaganda to take root.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question six, who do you want to tell about this dream?
[SPEAKER_00]: Is anything stopping you?
[SPEAKER_07]: As previously mentioned, I will be sharing this information with my superiors in the form of this entry.
[SPEAKER_07]: And as also previously stated, I will be sharing select information from the stream with other Bureau agents to begin an investigation into this candle room and red door.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question eight, what would you change about this dream?
[SPEAKER_07]: again on a personal note more so than in dealing with the case itself, I wish that this perspective wasn't in the position where an outsider could so easily sway them.
[SPEAKER_07]: There is a mention in the dream that this voice, this
[SPEAKER_07]: Potential manifestation of their curse calls them bright for listening to the outsider.
[SPEAKER_07]: Perhaps this voice is goating them all.
[SPEAKER_07]: It seems to be trying to keep them away from this outsider, but then calls them smart for going with them.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's confusing.
[SPEAKER_07]: assuming that there is no one else in this perspective's life to give them advice to listen, leaving them to the winds of this manifestation of a curse.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's just that to see.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question seven, do you wish the dream kept going?
[SPEAKER_00]: If so, what would you like to see happen?
[SPEAKER_07]: Similar to the previous stream, I think it ended where it needed to.
[SPEAKER_07]: We were able to get a decent bit of information about potential locations and associates of target loud fox, while also building out a better emotional map and seeing the trajectory of loud fox.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think we are coming closer to identifying the motive behind the attack in Oak Creek.
[SPEAKER_07]: if the tree imagery on the door and the bitterness and rage assigned to it is in fact accurate.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question nine, what are you taking with you?
[SPEAKER_07]: Who members perspective it is that the dreamer is taking on is a frustrated person, angry, and full of emotions that they do not know how to do with.
[SPEAKER_07]: They are bitter.
[SPEAKER_07]: They are, without support.
[SPEAKER_07]: It is reminding me that I need to ensure that my connections with the people around me are secure, that if I ever in some strange case become doubtful or bitter or cursed, that there will be people there to help me through it, to help get me back on the right path.
[SPEAKER_07]: And so that I can be there for those who need it as well.
[SPEAKER_07]: But of course, that is on a personal note.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question ten, what do you want to leave behind?
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't think there's anything that I want to leave behind at this point.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question eleven, what is this dream titled?
[SPEAKER_07]: For the purposes of this investigation, this dream is titled finding the candle room.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question twelve, what do you need to do to recover from this experience?
[SPEAKER_07]: I think I'm going to take my family out tonight for dinner.
[SPEAKER_07]: Maybe it'll give us a chance to check in and spend some time together.
[SPEAKER_07]: And with that, the dream analysis has concluded.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't think there's any more I have to say on that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Commenter's note.
[SPEAKER_07]: Looking forward to what part three of the stream has to offer for us.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is Agent Seeker, seven being one four submitting entry, twenty six B. Descriptive adjective.

[SPEAKER_07]: After the previous two weeks investigations, Capricorn Foreign Resudo calls have sent me a part three of the DREAM analysis work as an extension of Operation Morphias.
[SPEAKER_07]: This will be the final entry of this part of the investigation.
[SPEAKER_07]: Commenter's note.
[SPEAKER_07]: I recognize that in the previous entries, there are probably more commenters notes and speculation based on personal feelings rather than evidence.
[SPEAKER_07]: However, I also want to recognize that I understand that Operation Morphias and the goals of Capricorn pharmaceuticals
[SPEAKER_07]: are to analyze the raw psychic information of the participants of its experiment, and I do not believe it would be wrong to say that it seems that I have been roped into this experiment without any previous conversation about it and not.
[SPEAKER_07]: In accordance with Operation Morpheus Protocol, the R&D Department has also sent over a list of questions for me to answer about the attached recording.
[SPEAKER_07]: These two will be part of my entry, beginning analysis.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hello, sir, Jack.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please sit down.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Before you begin, can you please confirm your organization issued call sign?
[SPEAKER_06]: Fly the duck.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Can you provide your chosen code word or code by the water?
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: I will advise you that your name is not a part of this process and the devolving of your name outside the scope of the dreamscape is not advised and may expel you from the experiment.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you understand?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: As a reminder, my name is Dr. Robert Jennings and I will serve as your visualization anchor today.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you for your continued participation in this trial.
[SPEAKER_06]: Before we go further, I need to confirm a few biographical details.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, I understand a consent.

[SPEAKER_06]: Twenty-seven.

[SPEAKER_06]: No, this is your region in this environment, not whole the address, which has been and should remain redacted.

[SPEAKER_06]: I've been on a for twenty six days.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Have you continued to experience particularly vivid dreams since taking tech category?
[UNKNOWN]: What the fuck is this, man?
[UNKNOWN]: I keep having this, but no, no.
[SPEAKER_07]: Be so fucking ferole with me right now.
[SPEAKER_06]: actually really just fucking trees.
[SPEAKER_06]: As stated in the waiver that you signed, or in what are the participation in this trial, five of the dreams are one of the many potential teacher-to-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm sorry sir, I'm here to serve as your visualization anchor throughout today's process.
[SPEAKER_06]: Additional resources are available to you after this trial period.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you would like, I can certainly send you out right now to the front desk to receive any emergency assistance if you require.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I just wonder if you were a person under that, but whatever.
[SPEAKER_06]: What was the question?
[SPEAKER_06]: Have you continued to experience particularly vivid dreams since taking category?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: What mood are you in?
[SPEAKER_06]: What mood do you think of it?
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not supposed to weigh in on a sponsor of any of the participants of today's survey.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm happy.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you need to do anything else to get your preferred head space to make this a meaningful experience?
[SPEAKER_06]: Nope, I'm good.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you have time to take care of yourself after this experience?
[SPEAKER_06]: If not, how can you make time today?
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I don't really have time today.
[SPEAKER_07]: I really have time for myself today because you want to know something doctor, something fun about me, something fun about life for me right now.
[SPEAKER_07]: is that I'm at the stage of the course, like, you know how I told you, I'm turning into a scut, you can see, you see the fact, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm at this really fun stage where all of a sudden, I have a stink bladder.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think that I didn't know that I was supposed to have, and I don't control it, I guess.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't control that.
[SPEAKER_07]: And these drugs are supposed to like,
[SPEAKER_07]: Make sure that doesn't happen, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: I have to carry around extra pants everywhere I go.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I don't think you really, really understand what that's like, what that's like, having to go to work like that.
[SPEAKER_07]: And so that's where I'm at right now.
[SPEAKER_07]: And so can I make time for myself?
[SPEAKER_07]: I would love to make time for myself.
[SPEAKER_07]: But I have to go to the store after this.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I have to buy more pants.
[SPEAKER_07]: So that's me.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is there anything taking up space in your mind today?
[SPEAKER_07]: I shit myself every single day with this new stink, skunk, whatever the fuck it.
[SPEAKER_07]: But I think that takes up like a little bit more of my brain space every day than I would like for it too.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now to mention, all these weird fucking dreams I keep getting from this medicine that's supposed to make sure I don't shit myself every fucking day.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you're ready, please close your eyes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Sure, fine.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, now I'll play the game.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'll play the game.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please.
[SPEAKER_06]: stay totally still and silent for at least ten seconds.
[SPEAKER_06]: I will inform you when your ten seconds are out.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, yeah, for sure.
[SPEAKER_06]: And if I should myself, I'm sorry, don't worry, it just happens now.
[SPEAKER_06]: The ten seconds, the ten seconds begins now.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's the end of the ten seconds.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you would like to continue, please stay totally still and silence for as long as you wish.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's get this over with.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please state your code word or code to trace that in the water.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Take, take three breaths.
[SPEAKER_06]: Did you dream last night?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh boy, I did.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please tell me about last night's dream in as much detail as you can.
[SPEAKER_06]: To not leave out any details, no matter how personal or embarrassing.
[SPEAKER_06]: The danger is busy.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm sure, hardly.
[SPEAKER_07]: I look around in the whole town is here.
[SPEAKER_07]: I see Joshua sharing pizza with Catherine.
[SPEAKER_07]: The age of him is picking out a song on the cheekbox.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mel is rocking to what's already playing oblivious with smell of cooking oil and hot dogs fills the air.
[SPEAKER_07]: It is wet with a smell.
[SPEAKER_07]: Someone else is standing in the corner, swinging and spinning.
[SPEAKER_07]: The red of their outfit stands out in the crowd.
[SPEAKER_07]: They have round grey hair.
[SPEAKER_07]: I find them extremely weathered.
[SPEAKER_07]: They don't see me.
[SPEAKER_07]: They don't think they see anything.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're bleeding from the head.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think I know them.
[SPEAKER_07]: Maybe I just want to.
[SPEAKER_07]: I feel all alone.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I swim.
[SPEAKER_07]: They turn toward me and I look at the spot above me.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're slurring their words.
[SPEAKER_07]: What do you desire most in this life?
[SPEAKER_07]: They're drunk, I assume.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I say, maybe you should go home.
[SPEAKER_07]: They ask why I'm avoiding the question.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I think, which order says the waiter, I can feel someone's eye is on me.
[SPEAKER_07]: But I'm not sure from where.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I look at the menu hot.
[SPEAKER_07]: The chicken blood is red.
[SPEAKER_07]: Be usual, I say.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, but rest of the men you should be fine.
[SPEAKER_07]: Ever around, I see everyone else eating and dancing and happy.
[SPEAKER_07]: God, that's... angry.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's what she really want.
[SPEAKER_07]: The voice I recognize says to me.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I feel the weight of the moment.
[SPEAKER_07]: I know what I want, but I don't know if I should want.
[SPEAKER_07]: If it's okay to want so much, it's more than I've ever asked for before.
[SPEAKER_06]: Subject.
[SPEAKER_06]: In the dream, what do you order?
[SPEAKER_06]: Freedom.
[SPEAKER_06]: Subject, please continue.
[SPEAKER_07]: The Vemophilator says, you doubt it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I can't believe I've said it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm so afraid.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I hear the tapping behind me.
[SPEAKER_07]: It comes in with me.
[SPEAKER_07]: It says the voice that I recognize.
[SPEAKER_07]: I owe too much food and I'd like to share it with you.
[SPEAKER_07]: Across the room between the dancers and diners and foxes.
[SPEAKER_07]: I see someone making a mistake.
[SPEAKER_07]: I have something for you.
[SPEAKER_07]: The voice says, it's next to me now.
[SPEAKER_07]: But I don't look up.
[UNKNOWN]: The owner of the voice could something down on the table.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's powerful and weak.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's the same time.
[SPEAKER_07]: I wanted to.
[SPEAKER_07]: Come sit with me and you can have what you want.
[SPEAKER_07]: and more the voice sense across the room between the dancers and diners and swordfish.
[SPEAKER_07]: I see the back of the person I love most before away now.
[SPEAKER_06]: I realize they're leaving without me.
[SPEAKER_06]: Subjects in the dream.
[SPEAKER_06]: How does this make you feel?
[SPEAKER_06]: I've never felt so alone in my life.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please continue.
[SPEAKER_07]: The music is loud now.
[SPEAKER_07]: Swinging in my ears with the object is close.
[SPEAKER_07]: My future closer.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's happening.
[SPEAKER_07]: I start to home a little tune.
[SPEAKER_07]: I hate to know I knew.
[SPEAKER_07]: This time I do return around.
[SPEAKER_06]: Subject.
[SPEAKER_06]: in the dream.
[SPEAKER_06]: What do you see?
[SPEAKER_07]: I see that everyone is dancing on shrinks, being held up like marionettes, puppets, and the shrinks are so clear to me.
[SPEAKER_07]: And it almost feels weird that I didn't know that they were there before.
[SPEAKER_07]: But now it felt so obvious.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I could see what they were leaving.
[SPEAKER_07]: But all I could see was the hand of whoever was pulling those strings.
[SPEAKER_07]: I couldn't see its face.
[SPEAKER_07]: But I could tell it was looking right at me.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then I woke up.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you, subject.
[SPEAKER_06]: That is the end of this week's session as well as your participation in the study.
[SPEAKER_06]: Your contribution to the study is no longer required.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please pick up additional refills of the medication and direct any future questions about your experience or care to the front desk at a Walton branch
[SPEAKER_06]: Monthly moving forward.
[SPEAKER_06]: We at CBP appreciate your time and commend your bravery and hope.
[SPEAKER_06]: Key to guard.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's you let your guard down.
[SPEAKER_06]: Fuck you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Fuck.
[SPEAKER_07]: Beginning post-dream analysis.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question one, what did you like about this dream?
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know if I can really say anything about this dream.
[SPEAKER_07]: when a personal level, as far as the cases concerned, I believe that this is enough to establish motive and intent to do harm to the people in the sublime or at the very least use a potentially regulated artifact to have some effect
[SPEAKER_07]: on the people in the sublime with the mentions of the strings tying people and the controlling them with strings and hands from an unseen entity.
[SPEAKER_07]: Perhaps that is the mechanism through which the artifact uses its power.
[SPEAKER_07]: There's a chance that the dreamer and the perspective that they are taking
[SPEAKER_07]: which at this point I think it's pretty safe to assume is loud fox.
[SPEAKER_07]: That perhaps this thing the outsider has given them has allowed them to look into the sublime and specifically the things that make it what it is.
[SPEAKER_07]: Or maybe it is simply symbolic of their enlightenment, or their quote unquote enlightenment.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question two, what stood out to you?
[SPEAKER_07]: This room was deeply emotional.
[SPEAKER_07]: The dreamer states to be able to feel so much of this dream and the perspective in which they take in the stream.
[SPEAKER_07]: It really only makes sense that the dreamer is frustrated as they are in the recording.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, if it is true that they've been having to live out these dreams every night since starting the medication, I feel like I would have a hard time getting through that as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question three, whether any moments that seemed unintuitive are unnatural?
[SPEAKER_00]: What might those unusual moments say?
[SPEAKER_07]: The dreamer mentions that they ordered to freedom from the diner, which is an interesting word to use, I think.
[SPEAKER_07]: We often see behavior like this or talk like this from anarchists and those who are
[SPEAKER_07]: affected by their propaganda.
[SPEAKER_07]: There's this sense that the sublime is not a fair place or that the sublime is in fact a structure that is containing them and preventing them from doing things.
[SPEAKER_07]: So there is often a sentiment of like needing freedom or they're rebelling against the sublime is an act of them trying to
[SPEAKER_07]: reclaim some kind of agency that was taken away from them.
[SPEAKER_07]: And so the mentioning of freedom here does very much lean in the direction that the perspective is someone who is affected by propaganda from anarchist or other anti-sublime sentiments.
[SPEAKER_07]: But it's also interesting that the dreamer claims that the desire for freedom feeling like a thing that they feel shame about.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think that they are afraid to admit that they want, which is commentators note.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm beginning to feel uncomfortable having to so intimately engage with the thoughts and philosophies and experiences of a potential anarchist.
[SPEAKER_07]: I believe that it is perhaps hampering my ability to be objective.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I guess I'm just having a real hard time trying to
[SPEAKER_07]: separate myself from them in this moment.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: In that, to summarize, I think it is unusual for the dreamer and thus also the perspective they're taking, loud fox, to feel shame about wanting freedom.
[SPEAKER_07]: And feeling like it is a thing that they cannot obtain outside of the assistance of this outsider.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question four, do you see reflections of your reality in the dream?
[SPEAKER_07]: Refusing to comment.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question five, do you think the dream says anything about you?
[SPEAKER_07]: Refusing to comment on this as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question six, who do you want to tell about this dream?
[SPEAKER_00]: Is anything stopping you?
[SPEAKER_07]: As mentioned before, my superiors will be noted about the stream and will receive the full three parts of this entry upon its completion.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question seven, do you wish the dream kept going?
[SPEAKER_00]: If so, what would you like to see happen?
[SPEAKER_07]: No, it ended where I needed to end.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question eight, what would you change about this dream?
[SPEAKER_07]: Refusing the comment.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question nine.
[SPEAKER_00]: What are you taking with you?
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm refusing to comment.
[SPEAKER_07]: Commentators know, in the future, I do not believe that I'm the right agent to be handling any Capricorn for a suitable casework dealing in dream analysis and net.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question ten.
[SPEAKER_00]: What do you want to leave behind?
[SPEAKER_07]: Refusing to comment.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question eleven.
[SPEAKER_00]: What is this dream titled?
[SPEAKER_07]: For the purposes of this investigation, this dream is titled, a meeting in the diner.
[SPEAKER_00]: Question twelve, what do you need to do to recover from this experience?
[SPEAKER_07]: I need to conclude this case file and move it on to my whoever gets it next, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_07]: And that concludes the Posture Analysis commentator's note.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm sorry that this entry is brief, but I do believe that the transcript of the recording and the rest of the information provided in the other team parts shall be enough to act on the information in note.
[SPEAKER_07]: I end with that, this is Agent Seeker, seven B-one, four, concluding my entry, twenty-six B, entering it into case file, QB-F-O-T-L.
[SPEAKER_07]: And that was our session.
[SPEAKER_07]: Making you made a weird game.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I did.
[SPEAKER_07]: You made a weird game.
[SPEAKER_06]: That I did.
[SPEAKER_06]: I, and you did such a good job of it.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was, I, I very explicitly call it in the instructions of like, hey, you may need, you know, don't worry about your performance necessarily, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: Like try to read it organically, try to enjoy it and just see kind of what happens and what comes out.
[SPEAKER_06]: And as, as no one who was listening to Tails yet told would be surprised to know, kind of just crushed it, just read it.
[SPEAKER_06]: with perfect dramaticism pretty much at any moment.
[SPEAKER_06]: So yeah, well, Reagan down.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, thank you and I I mean, there was something really fun about playing this game in this way as like you and I
[SPEAKER_07]: off care, off mic, things like the people don't get to hear, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: You've talked about words like, I wasn't necessarily expecting my dynamic with you to be so like immediately like antagonistic.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: The way that you kind of put this air of the corporate like sleek of like, I have no emotions.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm just doing my job like there's something that like,
[SPEAKER_07]: As soon as I was a person having to talk to you, it was like, why the fuck are you talking to me like that?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it was I really struggled to figure out what the what you're kind of once we came up with the conceit of what this would look like again, because it is a it is it can be is usually kind of generally played as a solo game, but as we have evidence, it can be played a whole number of ways.
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, and I was really trying to be like, all right, what is what is this person, you know, like, yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: What's the kind of, how does this add to it?
[SPEAKER_06]: How can it add to the audience?
[SPEAKER_06]: How does it kind of relate to the themes and vibes, not just of kind of the weird corporate setup of tales yet told and also kind of like David Lynch's work, which is kind of in the center of it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And the more and more I thought about it, the more and more it's like, I think I have to do nothing.
[SPEAKER_06]: I have to do nothing.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I just have to be like a wall for you and your character to, you know, just bounce stuff off of and then eventually either be broken by or bust through like the cool aid man.
[SPEAKER_06]: And those are the options.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I was like, yeah, I feel pretty good about just leaving a bunch of room for Kendo to be angry and we're sad or whatever.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then figuring it out from there.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it worked out quite well, I thought.
[SPEAKER_07]: and I got to me sharing myself is me which was kind of well but like I was as I was saying I'm like is this too goofy but it also felt like if I was in a situation where my body was changing in such a way where this was now a normal thing where I think I would be so not delicate about it
[SPEAKER_07]: So to someone who is supposedly like feel like oh take this drug and it won't happen.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's like you're not the one having to shit your pants.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm so I thought that was such a good choice And again, that's why I was like I'm not doing anything like I will I refuse to be a character for as long as possible
[SPEAKER_06]: So that I can just be like, no, let's just see how much this will push both this character and the person that I know as Kendall to be like, well fuck you, corporate student.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, that's fucking got him.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, you fucking did it because I, yeah, I also don't I don't any time I end up playing a game in the supply my end up leaning towards the person's like, isn't the supply cool guys right?
[SPEAKER_07]: Because everybody else wants to obviously play the people who don't like living there.
[SPEAKER_07]: So it was fun like finally being able to embody a character who's like fuck this.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, and again, as well as like I don't want to give.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't want to give like I want I want to see what kind of things is interesting about exploring the sublime like this corner of it.
[SPEAKER_06]: and how how kind of wants to explore it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I was just like again, no, I know, again, the the sublime has kind of a lot of overlap with in my estimation.
[SPEAKER_06]: A lot of especially twin peaks with a lot of David Lynch stuff where he is this
[SPEAKER_06]: surface level hyper idealized, you know, kind of space that there is so much going on underneath it is so obviously devastatingly bad for people who actually live there.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I thought so I thought you yelling about shutting your pants was precisely it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Where it is like I am a real human.
[SPEAKER_06]: I am a real person living in this and I am
[SPEAKER_06]: dealing with the real ramifications of it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And so I got to be the fucking like just the embodiment of not you.
[SPEAKER_07]: So, it's fair.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh my god, well, thank you so much for doing this with me, especially because, well, let's just say that the dream that I had, I mean, every, this is canon to everything that's happening.
[SPEAKER_07]: So, I wonder what these dreams could mean and who these dreams might be connected to.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm very excited to see.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I guess people are gonna have to wait until season two.
[SPEAKER_07]: The strangers in the wood to find out.
[SPEAKER_07]: But,
[SPEAKER_07]: That's for a later day.
[SPEAKER_07]: Hey Nathan.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Tell people where they can find you and yourself.
[SPEAKER_06]: Who me?
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I can be found at Lars Blurbs.
[SPEAKER_06]: Essentially everywhere on the internet.
[SPEAKER_06]: That is my personal handle.
[SPEAKER_06]: Then includes over on itch.io slash Lars Blurbs.
[SPEAKER_06]: Where you can find the actual game dream investigator.
[SPEAKER_06]: which is I would say probably as weird and pointed and sometimes scary as these three were, but are also a little bit less as we said antagonistic, at least on purpose.
[SPEAKER_06]: And these are actually three fresh ones that are not part of the base game.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you want to go in completely kind of unspoiled, all of that is fresh new content and has a bunch of kind of world building and kind of extra, a femuromaterial, that kind of stuff.
[SPEAKER_06]: So you can still get your own kind of fresh perspective on all of those.
[SPEAKER_06]: Also again, I'm on the blue skies, I'm on Instagrams, not so much on most of the other places.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm also on the Recall Stackpodcast.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're a five e podcast.
[SPEAKER_06]: We are an actual play.
[SPEAKER_06]: We've been going.
[SPEAKER_06]: God for well as long as Taylor's a told basically.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think you started around the same with then I think a month or two if I remember right max maybe even less maybe maybe weeks.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not sure and we are
[SPEAKER_06]: Deep into our canon.
[SPEAKER_06]: We do a ton of stuff.
[SPEAKER_06]: We have a lot of recap episodes that are available if you want to catch up quick or just be reminded.
[SPEAKER_06]: Big ol' backlog, but it's all super tight, super well designed, a lot of, you know, just kind of a fun table vibes, but like with all the the bad parts of that, just empty out and well sound designed around.
[SPEAKER_06]: and high adventure lots of frogs all that goes stuff we also do interviews over at Reckless a talk which is on the same feed including by the excellent kendo sitting right across from you on this video call uh one of my favorite favorite of talks uh and lots and lots of other people uh so yeah go check us out it's usually at Reckless underscore attack at most the places or some version of it uh you can find us on all the the socials
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, everybody go check out Reckless Attack.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, I don't talk about like, I don't talk about fivey a lot on here.
[SPEAKER_07]: Not really for a lot of reasons.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, honestly, it just doesn't really come up.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, hey, I work for a couple of friends.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I do.
[SPEAKER_07]: So there is like, I work in fivey.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't talk a lot about it on the, uh, on the pod, uh, but hey, you know what?
[SPEAKER_07]: I kind of like FIV.
[SPEAKER_07]: I started, I started TTRPG's playing Dungeons & Dragons and I don't listen to a lot of FIV podcasts as a plate, but I can, one hundred percent tell you, reckless attack is pretty good.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: So you also go listen to it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, and yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: There's so much for you to go listen to yourself.

[SPEAKER_07]: So, thank you all so much for listening.
[SPEAKER_07]: It has been a joy sitting here with my good friend Nathan playing a game.

[SPEAKER_07]: Like we love you.
[SPEAKER_07]: Bye.
[SPEAKER_01]: Bye.
[SPEAKER_05]: incoming message coming from the five eighty eight.
[SPEAKER_04]: Good morning recruits.
[SPEAKER_04]: Welcome to hell.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is basic training.
[SPEAKER_05]: No one's supposed to die.
[SPEAKER_05]: Wingman is a semi-historical actual play podcast.
[SPEAKER_05]: Have you pissed anyone off recently?
[SPEAKER_05]: No one I can think of while I run through the bulleted index list of people we've pissed off in the last couple of days.
[SPEAKER_05]: They endure discrimination from their male counterparts.
[SPEAKER_04]: All of your beds have been carried out of the nurse's station and placed in the middle of the jogging track.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hmm, I don't think it was Ivan, he's weak.
[SPEAKER_05]: Against this bitter setting, our four-monthly heroines gained the chance to experience queer joy, gender euphoria, and equality for the first and perhaps the only time in their lives.
[SPEAKER_05]: How obvious am I being?
[SPEAKER_05]: See, I've kind of always thought that there is a level to some of us in this barracks.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's visible.
[SPEAKER_04]: Have you been using the word shenanigans?
[SPEAKER_05]: I've been experimenting.
[SPEAKER_05]: Where did you learn that?
[SPEAKER_05]: Until the next mission, this is us signing off.
