Has anyone here ever woken from a dream that...felt too long and too real, to the point where it MUST have happened?

Because for awhile, it truly seemed like I was back in my universe. But then I woke and
Well
I am still here. But I do not feel the same.

[PRIVATE TO: LANCE, PIDGE, KEITH.]

I must speak with you about what you went through before being brought here. Please remind me of what you remember last.

My dreams of home would be different than this.

As I said, it is difficult to explain why I do not believe this had simply been a dream, but once I talk with my teammates, I will know for sure.

look i hate to say it, but

it's not like being here has been exactly fun, lately
there's a lot going on. just because your dream wasn't the same, it doesn't mean it wasn't a dream

it would give anyone nightmares. that's not a surprise

[juniberries]

Well, it certainly wasn't a nightmare, either. It was too real to be either.

Again, it is hard to say why I do NOT think it had been a dream. Simply that I have an inkling it was not one.

[estrayer]

i get that. i do

it's just. if it was real, it's the first i've seen of anyone managing to get out of here
even for a while.

that makes it worth trying to find out how.

[juniberries]

I understand. In the reverse, I would have difficulty believing what I have to say as well.

I really do wish I could tell you how.

[estrayer]

i want to believe

it's just, what you're describing? sounds way more likely to be a dream than anything real.
then again it wouldn't be the weirdest thing i've seen happen this month

[juniberries]

As I have said, it was far too detailed to have simply been just a dream.

Considering everything that has happened these past few weeks, I would not find it strange.

[estrayer]

you have a point

look what about things like
your clothes, your shoes. are you wearing what you were wearing at home?

[juniberries]

I am not. But it is no surprise, considering I did arrive here with my ship, and all my clothing still in place.

I am still in the sleepwear I had worn to bed the night prior. But still, this was completely different from how I initially arrived.

Perhaps my consciousness was what returned.
