I don't believe in symbolism in dreams.
Although, I find it hysterical when one of my coworkers tries to "interpret" my dreams and he usually relates everything to anxiety and porn… So I always ask him to interpret my dreams.
Anyway,
so I don't believe in symbolism in dreams. I think dreams are pretty cut and dry. But the catch is, it's all YOUR thoughts. The things that your friends are saying to you in your dreams are things that you think they're saying in real life, or things that YOU are saying to yourself in real life, etc. I can always trace my dreams back to some thought I had or something.

So in Cyff's dreams, these are Cyff's own thoughts, being spoken aloud by people who look exactly like her - her sisters. You can sorta see Cyff trying to accept what happened to her, but being unable to actually do so in the face of so much guilt.. You can see how she thinks she'd be better off dead, but at the same time she fights that thought off…

I don't know what Cyff's sisters would really say in real life to her… I wasn't planning on bringing them into the story unless you guys really want that!

Respondy -

qswtbt - Yeah, hurtful dreams!

alejkhan - The panel layout on the bottom was the most simple thing possible.. Compliment not accepted!! And there's no background, just a gradient.

PeiPei - Yep..

Kaj - Part of what Cyff believes the reality to actually be. She thinks her sisters haven't suffered what she has, so they're going to be pretty well-off in her dream, and that will give her more guilt.

Tantz Aerine - Yup..

Cthonic Cultist - My problem is that my collection of books is split between two countries.. it makes me really uneasy!!

And yes about Cyff.. That's what happens when you sleep on top of a building instead of in your own bed.

DAJB - Me too! But my sister and I both were pretty cruel to eachother as kids. So it evens out. And she sorta blocked out that I was ever mean, and I sorta blocked out that I was ever nice.. so it's interesting asking her how she interpreted some situation because we have totally different viewpoints!
