Dreams are beautiful things.

They are so precious to make, to come up with the vibrant colors and motions to place into someone's mind while they are in that unconscious state of sleep, to see them smile in their sleep as they are transported to a different world.

Dreams take away the pain that is there when you awake.

Which is why I like my job so much.

There are 4 different doors that control how much pain one can take, as a wise philosopher that I knew once told me.

The first and perhaps the most important door is sleep, compared to the other three: Forgetting, Madness and Death.

Sleep gives one protection from pain and distances a person from what they have experienced. Similarly, dreams, even though in most situations are nothing but an illusion, provide a temple of sanctuary for those who have endured the most traumatic experiences they have in their life.

I try to ease the pain for them, but for some the pain never ends, not even in dreams.

There is a family I have tried to heal with dreams, to no avail. The oldest is wrought with nightmares, ones that not even I can control anymore; until she learns she is no longer in harm's way, they will continue to plague her.

There are two boys that their dreams have gotten better with the calming of their partners, but I won't be able to do anything more for them. It's a shame when you have seen all these people grow up.

And I....
I can't do anything for myself.

Every night I have a different nightmare, because every night I have a vision of how someone dies. In order to give someone a dream, I have to give someone a nightmare....and most of the time, that means I dream endless terror through the night while everywhere else, people have smiles on their faces.

The price I pay for the children is high.
Seraphis' point of views in dreams. XD It's kinda creepy. She's had to deal with this stuff forever considering her mother is dead and she hasn't met her father.

YUS I KNEW YOU WERE WRITING SOMETHING.

Sh'es definitely more peaceful than her father, I have to say that much. Hypnos is downright insane.

I like her, though. I also like this. *Goes back to read it four more times*
