Okay take two. Funky dream related sketches requires funky resubmitting of image file. Now seems to be better.

This is from my Equestria dreamscape, but is not part of the ongoing dream arc that is happening there. In fact this is a dream I had the first night of Everfree Northwest.

Usually I am an early riser, getting up between 5:30 and 6:30 in the morning. So on Friday morning I was having fun in my sleep flying around Ponyville when decided I should probably get up and start my day. I proceed to wake up and then went to the bathroom and began shaving.

At this point I realized it was six in the morning and none of the roommates I was sharing the hotel room with were going to be up for at least another hour or so. So I went back to bed.

Now if I have to get up during the night to use the bathroom there seems to be this acknowledgement from my subconscious that I’ll be right back. Therefore I will often get the mental equivalent of the pause button and things will resume when I return. However when I wake up I am usually up for the next few hours at least.

Therefore I was rather surprised when I dropped back into REM sleep very quickly and once again found myself in my Sky Brush pegasus stallion form. Petina was also there in her white unicorn mare form but there was nothing else. No Ponyville, no Equestria, in fact there was no ground or sky. All one could see was a featureless white world with overhead lighting emitting from some indeterminate source. Petina was in the process of levitating a dark green purse so it could hang around her neck when I walked up. She seemed to be rather startled by my presence.

Apparently my subconscious had decided that it was off the clock as far as pony dreams went and had shut everything down. Even Carousel had woken up from her sleep and was now going about her business in my Angel and Knight Prime dreamscape. Heck even Petina supposedly had business elsewhere and couldn’t stick around.

Now I don’t know how my subconscious turns on the Equestria dreamscape, or any of them, it just happens. So I was a bit concerned that I’d stuck in a white featureless world for the next hour. I guess I could’ve woken up and then tried falling asleep again and tried for another dreamscape but I really wanted to fly some more. Worse case scenario I was going to be left staring at the hotel ceiling for the next hour. However as Petina vanished from view her horn flashed once and Ponyville reloaded like some scene from a video game. I was the only pony around but at least I could fly around for a while.
