Three and a half years ago...
"Everypony dreams," echoed the booming voice through the speakers. "But what is a dream?"
The voice in question was coming from a stallion behind a podium on a stage. He had several hot lights pointed directly at him, but he paid them no mind. His attention was directed at the thousands of younger ponies looking back at him.
"Typically," he continued, "a dream is when we go to sleep, and the random thoughts and images we've had throughout our day come back at us without any sought of filter, becoming something new. That explanation is only half right."
He caught a confused expression from one mare in the front row- taking note of it, he continued.
"Through everypony's life, they get these random collection of images and sounds... we call them family, friends, jobs, experience. And at some point, we dream. Maybe not during sleep, but at some point a random collection of the components of your life are suddenly going to form together in a way that gives you the inspiration you need to create something. And that's what we're here to help you do."
He spread open his forelegs, presenting the building that they were all sitting in. "Welcome to Ponyville School of Art and Design. Here we will give you all the tools you'll need to create something that will make you rich, make you happy. For those of you who don't know, my name is Professor Gaiman, and I'm here to teach you how to dream. So dream, and dream big."
Wait, chapter 0?
Sounds Awesome!
One correction: "sought of filter"?
HAhahahaha. Professor Gaiman. Oh Neil, if you made a dollar off of every allusion to you, you'd be...slightly more wealthy than you are now.
