Dreamwakers
Did you ever have an imaginary friend as a child? Chances are, everyone has at some point. Most likely, yours was forgotten long ago, to wither away with the rest of your childhood as more important matters came along and new memories flood in. You began socializing and going out more. You found real friends. Now imagine this. Your only friend in the whole world has completely forgotten you existed. They were your world. They were all you had. You can't speak to anyone else. You're completely alone, and you are to remain that way until you die; an empty, lonely shell of the individual you once were. Sadly, this is the reality that many poor, trapped souls face each day of their lives. They are the Dreamwakers. In the process of reincarnation, sometimes things become complicated. Sometimes, a soul can be trapped in between a reincarnation, with nowhere to go. This may occur when a large group of people die in a short period of time. As a result, there are less bodies than there are souls, and they have nowhere to go. They are forced to share a body with someone else. More particularly, their mind. A Dreamwaker is seen as an imaginary friend. Everything they do and say is imagined by the person who "invented" them. They can look like whatever they choose them to look like, and be whatever species they choose them to be. This leaves the human to believe that they are nothing more than a thought. However, this sense of control is false. The illusion is created due to the fact that a Dreamwaker essentially becomes a part of the human's own mind. These Dreamwakers- they are basically imaginary friends with souls. A Dreamwaker can be injured, just like any other person. However, they cannot die on their own. They are forced to live with whatever pain comes to them. The only way a Dreamwaker can die is when their human dies, thus freeing their soul from their imagination. This is especially difficult when they are forgotten. Since they are so similar to mere imaginary friends, many people toss them aside. They grow up. They forget all about them, and the Dreamwaker is forced to live out their days in solitude. If a Dreamwaker is alone, they may feel angry or betrayed. They will try to gain your attention. Sadly, once forgotten, it is rare for them to return. As a result, their loneliness gets the best of them. They can only die if their human does- so, as a last resort, many of these abandoned souls will lash out. They will try their best to drive you mad, and they will not stop until you either die or remember them. They will turn you into a killer. They will make you turn to suicide. Anything to break you. Those voices in some people's heads? Chances are, it could be a Dreamwaker, calling out to them, trying to ruin them. Many people will hold onto their imaginary friends for much longer of a time. Did you ever have an imaginary friend? Try to remember. There may just be someone who is missing you. If they are a Dreamwaker, you will know it. You will feel it. They never lie. Trust yourself; save yourself. You could be friends once more. You can once again make conversation. You can once again make memories. You can once again do favors for them. Kind of like how I asked Sarah to type this for me. Now, one more person out there knows our story.
