Dream sequences are hard.
In the past 2 days, I heard 2 different dream sequences in 2 different stories. One struck me as very effective, and the other did not.
The one that did not was from Gwyneth Jones' short SF story "Balinese Dancer", from Gardner Dozois' "Years Best SF: Fifteenth Annual Collection" (1997 stories).
Sorry, but I have to say this.
I don't believe Dream Land.
(For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about: Dream Land is a user who says she has cancer and is going to die very soon.)
Hey everypony, Dreams here, obviously.
Things have been pretty busy for me lately, mostly with working two jobs and trying to actually write a novel on the side. That being said, I still really want to write pony stories, it's where I started and the first encouraging atmosphere I've ever really had. Anyways, I'm going to keep writing, but I also want feedback on what you all want to read first.
The main stories I've got right now are:
I'm skipping school to go have a Mental Health Day (Watching Infinity War).
Plus I may have a light story about a Dream I had last month. Albeit the detailing is a bit fabricated apart when it comes to the jumbled mess that is a dream.
State of the Writer posts don't get a lot of views, so it's unlikely anyone would go back to see anything I add, so I'll just make a new post. :) I was going to provide you all with the contents of a dream from earlier this week, pony-related, in lieu of any actual writing. But, y'know, I forgot, cuz I do that. :B
UPDATE: Not even two hours later, it's back up. Minor changes have been made to amp up the emotional parts of the chapter.
It's about 2 AM at the time I'm writing this, pretty normal as far as I go.
With over 100k words written, this year has been one of the best, if not the best years for my writing. Unfortunately, a lot of that is negated by the fact it’s almost all unpublished, with my little 1k one-shots holding up the bulk of my published work. Still, it’s been a very productive year on that front: almost won a contest with Iridium, and worked out some pretty nice ideas I thought I’d keep long dead.
The title says it all.
Let me expand on it a bit more. Since I was 8, I have been a big fan of pro wrestling. From time to time there were periods I wouldn't watch any pro wrestling, mostly during the time when WWE had no real competition from other companies. But I'd always come back to it.
For the past 3 or 4 months I have been watching a lot of older WWE matches that they have put up on their channel, mostly PPV matches from their Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras.
I bet Twilight would, as you can see in the newest daily chapter of my anthology:
How about you? Do you prefer a comfortable lie or a horrific truth?
So I had this dream last night that seemed to have three different plots going for it simultaneously.
...for you!
Yes, you, my Bell. I mean... my Belle. Help me out here!
Anyway... The actual Link is for Zel, duh! And... all of you, of (re)course! Share and Enjoy!

Dream 1: Escorting Derpy. Dreamt I was hired to escort Derpy around Manehattan for some reason. Then under a bridge overpass we saw a terrible sight of a pegasus start convulsing and fall off it to their death caused by some bioweapon specifically engineered only to kill pegasi. Igh. This happened twice. It was quite graphic! Did not solve the mystery of who what and why they were being murdered before waking up.
I wanted to eventually write an Equestria Sunset x Earth Sunset fic because I thought it was an original idea.
I was wrong.
Learn from my mistake, children. Don't follow your dreams. They lead only to pain and empty cereal boxes.
So, as you all know, I have some occasional MLP-related dreams I like to share at times, but this one was... very different. It was one of the longest dreams I've ever had (and one of the best). How I could describe it... if you've ever seen the episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "The Inner Light," my experience was very similar to Captain Picard's, in which a single dream I had felt like it lasted for several years.
I wrote a little blurb as a challenge from a friend of mine.
Let me know if you guys think I should publish, or just your general thoughts. 
you all.
Rushing waves washed upon the sandy shore, scattering seashells and starfish with each pass. As the sun reached its apex in the sky, another wave crashed down, leaving behind a small purple filly.
