Description summary:
The title and text of this storylet change as you guide the dreamers.
 Dreamer | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Madame Petrovsky | Dreams: Madame Petrovsky's Trance | It is Madame Petrovsky who dreams: looking for symbols, for a vision of the ancient that she can bring before her audience. Her existing images have grown a little tattered around the edges. |
| The Bohemian Sculptress | Dreams: The Phantasie of the Sculptress | She is not asleep and not awake […] her unmade sculptures gather around her, pleading to be carved. […] pulling butterflies out of the air and cramming them into her ears to block the din, […] […] sculpture of His Amused Lordship leans against a tree[…] |
| The Honey-Addled Detective | Dreams: The Investigative Dream of the Honey-Addled Detective | The Detective's body is elsewhere – back in a flat in Moloch Street, most likely. But his mind is here, as present in Parabola as any dream-shade. He is kneeling on the jungle floor, measuring the pawprint of a panther. |
