APPLICATIONS -- 2010; 001
THIS APPLICATIONS POST IS CLOSED. Please direct your attention to the new one here!
History:There’s a world, the world Mal exists in, that has the technology to take any person into another’s dreams and steal away their secrets. Dream-sharing used to be more of a legitimate and legal sort of job. But once the true potential of dream-sharing was unlocked, companies began to use it to steal the ideas of competitors and plot ways to demolish all competition.
But before it all fell apart, Mal was a part of something beautiful. Her father, Miles, had connections to dream-sharing technology and often times shared his skills with his daughter. He taught his daughter how to create worlds in dreams. How to manipulate them into anything of her own desire. How to use the technology for good rather than illegal processes. And once a person began to use the technology, it was hard not to become addicted.
That’s why it was no surprise that one of Mal’s classmates at her father’s architecture lessons became as addicted to the world of dreams as Mal did when Miles showed him what his architecture could do in a dream. Dreams were something that Architects adored when they realized the true potential of accessing your dreams. Of getting in between the perceiving and creating process the mind does when asleep to completely take over the creation and create worlds out of nothing. To create cathedrals and skyscrapers where none stood before and things that could not exist in reality. Pure creation.
Mal and Dominic were the best architects in the school. And they had the added bonus of dream-sharing. They spent hours creating entire worlds in their dreams and making up their own realities until one day, they fell in love. With their true nature and abilities unleashed in dreams and their true selves exposed to the other, it was no surprise how fast and how deeply the two fell in love. And even less of a surprise when Dom proposed to Mal, telling her that he dreamed of them growing old together.
From there the two began to build their life in reality. They had two children, Phillipa and James. And moved to the States where Dom was born and raised to raise their own family. Coming from wealthy families and with abilities like theirs they had no problems acquiring money to build their dream house with the porch that opened up into the beautiful wilderness where the sun always seemed to shine.
Their life was perfect.
And their dreams were just as beautiful.
But their true potential in the dream world had yet to be reached. They tampered in dreams within dreams constantly. But Dom wanted to keep going deeper. To keep going past what they originally built and create more. And Mal followed him down. One level. Two. Three. And then limbo.
Limbo is four dreams into the dream world. But it’s the last level you can reach. Not that you would ever want to leave it.
For most dreams the architects design the world before hand and play with it inside the dream. But when they reached the shores of limbo they encountered nothing. Nothing but their raw subconscious. This world was empty and entirely theirs to build and create.
And they did. For 50 years they built their dream world. Full of skyscrapers and modern and old designs and houses in a modern skyscraper with a porch that overlooked the world. For fifty years, the dream had become their reality.
