Years ago, Octavia still loved music. Years ago, Luna thought she might yet do some good from her prison. Years ago, Vinyl Scratch found herself in an interminable dream.
One night could set them all free.

This was lovely. I thought it was vague enough to capture the trippy dream essence without explaining too much.
So Luna tried to help Octavia initially, succumbed to her Nightmare Moon side, and returns every night to torture herself? And Vinyl is there because she's just a swell kid who wants ponies around her to be happy, I'll gather.

Yup, you interpreted it all correctly. I'm guessing someone that perceptive must be a baseball fan.

I'd love a sequel where Luna recognizes them and hires them to do a duet for her.
In the box once more, my old friend, congratulations.

And they refuse because they recognize her as that horrible monster who tormented their dreams?
This was really good. I really enjoyed how you weaved between Luna and NIghtmare Moon's perspectives so seamlessly. I wish I could pull something like that off!

Hours hat no!? Why would you think that?
I’m pretty sure vinyl realized what was going on with luna

Yeah, Vinyl figured her out and how she could use the angry version of her to her advantage, though since this is before Luna's return, she doesn't know who Luna and Nightmare Moon are.

Thanks
Yeah I hope there’s a sequel for this
Congrats on getting featured on Equestria Daily! Cool story.
By the time I was halfway through it was already extremely clear to me that this had to go on my Hall of Fame shelf. Wonderful piece!
