The Dreamworld is peaceful tonight.
Nightmares are few and far between. The psychic predators that inhabit it are keeping their distance. Everything is running smoothly...and it's boring Luna to tears.
While searching for something to do, Luna comes across a dream like none she's ever encountered. With nothing better to do, she enters it...

Thanks!
A pretty fun read, although you may want to check over your spelling and grammar. I noticed a few errors here and there.

Could you point them out?

Sure thing--in fact, if it's alright with you, may I point them out via PM and give a few pointers here and there? I gave it a thorough comb-down for you, so that I didn't miss anything important.

Go ahead!
Nice read

Oh, I say. Excellent read.

Thank you!
That was a fun story to read. The part where Luna was testing out each of the dream-instruments reminds me of:
-Mario Paint and Mario Paint Composer, a video game and a program that allows you to create music.
-The part in Luigi's Mansion where you had to touch every instrument in the Conservatory/Music Room to make the instruments play the SMB theme.
Glad to see Luna have a fun time in the Dreamscape.

Thank you. I really wish more people would read it, though.
Wow. This deserves fifteen times the number of views it currently has.
They way in which you fleshed out the only barely brushed-upon topic of Luna's Dreamwalking and dream studying roles in canon was astounding. You came up with entities and a form of mechanics and rules attached to the Dreamworld, a structure to dreams themselves in the form of fruit, and at the same time did an interesting exploration into Luna's thoughts on dreams in general, among other things. Besides a few insignificant grammar errors, this story is beyond excellent, in my opinion. I can't for the life of me find any flaws in this story.
One last thing: was the musical pipe organ dream actually Luna's? I wouldn't have been suprised if she somehow passed out in the Waking World before the spell's effects wore off.

It might. It might not. You can never tell in the Dreamworld.
Anyway, thanks for the input!

One more thing: in your opinion, why did this fic prove so unpopular? Was it the description? The cover art? What did I do wrong?
5532936 I doubt it's anything you did wrong. It's just an unfortunate fact that with the weekly torrents of random shipping stories, HiE, clop, and other junk, gems like this story either appear at the right time and make it to the front page featured, or only garner minimal attention.
this was a pretty good read. the way you fleshed out the one aspect luna has, besides the whole canterlot voice, that no other character in the show can do is truly amazing. you even give her reasonable rules to use in order to make out what is going on in some of the places she goes. the only thing that i had against it was that it seemed to be a bit too stretched out at some parts, but that really is the only thing.

What do you mean by "stretched out"?
5534668
it seemed, to me, that half of the last dream scene was a bit drawn out. i know it was a dream she just randomly went into and everything, but i stand with my words.
5534726
Fair enough.
I loved this. It's a great story about Luna who is a character I really like. It is a good story that shows her having some fun and playing. It has a whimsical feel to it at times that's really nice. I won't already say what others have said about writing about her dreamwalking. I will just say that it was a great read that deserves far more attention

Thank you!
I greatly enjoyed this, I've found that I quite like stories about or set within the Dreamscape, and this is definitely one of my favourite shorts with that setting. Liked and faved, my good author.

Thank you!
Damn, that's a lot of Dreamworld creatures. I'm only familiar with Dream Eaters, though. They come in two varieties. Dreams will follow you and play with you, whereas Nightmares will spawn out of nowhere and attack you. Yet the surprising thing, is that both Dreams and Nightmares look the same, only with different colour patterns.
Must have been an amazing dream.
Wow.
This certainly was interesting.
Thanks for this little glimpse into Luna's other job...
I enjoy any relatively well written Luna story, but this is something else! I love the way that the dream flows. Overall a wonderful read.

I also thought that Luna had somehow entered her own dream. Paradoxes abound!

Who knows? Maybe it was...
Ah, glad to check this story out again after seeing it in the "Popular Stories" section.

I totally want to do a reading of this one.
I might just do that in the future!
And it'll be fun composing the score, haha!
Great job! I really enjoyed this fic!

Thanks! What did you like about it?
5821336 I just liked how creative the dream was. It was a genuine, sincere, fun experience, and I enjoyed it.
That was some light-hearted fun. I had the impression that Luna had simply ...fallen asleep, and was dreaming that she was exploring a dream. She can do that, right? Seems legit.
I absolutely loved this! It was extremely well-written and the description of the Dreamworld was creative and realistic to what it might be... The dream, too, was well-designed and just fun while being beautiful. Liked and faved!
I enjoyed reading this, so I featured your story on DeviantART!
I don't have that much followers, but it's worth a shot!

Thank you!
My glasses are messed up & I'm half blind until the new ones come in. I thought the title was "Composting a Dream" & downloaded it. Still a good story & I liked it.
With the exception of minor typos, this is a breathtaking and beautiful glimpse into the wonderful incomprehension of dreams.
Now that was something different!
Original, imaginative and a joy to read. You really brought Luna to life.
Awww, now I want to know whose dream that was!
A nice story, but I can't say that it made me laugh or smile.
