It was more shock - like "Oh My God, Scott trusts this guy to get him into school but he can't cause he's not real!" but Jo Moriss made scarier than it was in the actual dream, so y'all don't start getting any ideas about my mental state or lack thereof! I saw Jo Moriss' description as "paranormal" and the dream definitely qualified on that count, though. I really like what you did with it, Moe, thanks
If you happen to run out of ideas, let me know. Bizarre dreams are my specialty and I usually remember at least as much as I did with that one.
The problem with interpretation is always that, it's an interpretation And my problem is that once a character starts doing their thing, I don't have much control any longer (damn characters, they're worse than errant children).

On top of all that, dreams are the hardest things to capture in a story...they're so....dreamlike

For what's it worth, I hope I kept some of the bits from your dream and we all came out of it at the other end with a couple of minutes of fiction that entertains

EDIT: Oh and PJ is also taking a crack at the story as per your dream, that'll be a lot more 'dreamlike'

DOUBLE EDIT: I'm fine on the ideas front for now, I think I might have too many actually
