Justin greets Marcus. He then explains to Lynn that he doesn't like the falling bit, but rather the sensation just after he wakes up.

Marcus finds that falling in a dream is quite exhilarating; and he is glad that he always wakes up before he hits rock bottom. Marcus wonders if anyone has woken up just after dreaming, and have had the powerful emotional essence of that dream dominate their day?

Lynn can't quite understand how anyone could enjoy that, but then again, if Justin is somewhat of an adrenaline junkie, she could see how that works. Lynn wonders if Justin likes rollercoasters, as she is terrified of them. Except for the cute Baby ones :D

YES!

Particularly if it was a very vivid dream, it will definately stay in Lynn's head for some time.

Lynn often finds herself searching for the people she has met in her dreams (regardless of historical era or location), although she has never found any of them yet. She cannot really remember their faces but has the idea that if she ever finds any of them, she will know instantly.

Justin, in fact, hate's rides. He is scared of heights and rather likes being alive. Having said that, though, the one time he went on Space Probe 7 at Wonderland was awesome.

Justin's dreams don't dominate his days unless he doesn't know if they were real or not.

Lynn also likes being alive. Lynn would NEVER go on Space Probe. Not even if she was bribed for a million dollars. At least she thinks so. Lynn hasn't been bribed yet.

Alan greets Marcus and welcoms his return to Important - Please Read.

Alan HATES the falling dream, though, he would explain it more of a 'being sucked in' dream. He is absolutely terrified. He wakes up with tears and is sweating...It scares him like nothing he van explain....

Justin states that it was only a one time thing, and wouldn't do something like that again. The adrenaline rush was great, though.

He notes that he cracks a lot of stupid jokes when he is scared. "I can see my house from here" and such.

Lynn has rarely (if ever) woken up in tears but has often woken up in a cold sweat, particularly after she has "fallen out" of her dream. Lynn is not very fond of the feeling at all and would really rather stay IN the dream.

HAHAHA! Lynn laughs. Lynn does that too. Except her jokes are even lamer, and the silences after... are even more silent.

Humour diffuses fear; its an instinctive defense, Marcus supposes. It gives the individual the power stripped from them by fear.

EDIT: Marcus greets Alan in return. He is suprised that a falling dream had that much of an effect on Alan. Marcus has been saddened and frightened by dreams, but never so intesely that he would wake up with tears.

Lynn agrees, although if people actually laughed at her lame jokes, she'd feel a lot more in control of the situation. But alas.

Justin wonders if Lynn has ever done so in a scary (or at least suspenseful) movie. Justin and his friend Damian were doing so in Signs. They were terrified during the opening credits, and Justin's other friend, Michael, grabbing his leg and making him jump at least a foot into the air when an alien tried to grab whatshisface's hand under the pantry door.

Funny night.

Justin states that humour seems to be his reaction to everything and wonders if that makes it ineffective.

Lynn has no particularly strong feelings for her Chinese (Malaysian really) heritage, and feels no ties towards it at all. She is not particularly asian in everything but appearance. Lynn tries her best to avoid being closed-minded, as many asians are, Lynn has a very weak academic side even though she comes from a highly academic background (father has Masters in Mathematics, both parents were Dux), and to put it bluntly, Lynn is not very proud of her heritage. Lynn's EE2 teacher suggested that she read ... argh, Lynn has forgotten name of book but is is about 3 asian girls who were not proud of asian heritage.
can you please please please try to remember!!!!

P.S. who HASN'T read my MW?

When Lynn can, Lynn will try and crack a lame joke (even if by herself) to make the atmosphere a little less frightening.

Lynn's system works like this:

Scare factor 1: Laugh for no reason and try to look at techniques rather than actually watching movie

Scare factor 2: Call for a dog and hug them tight.

Scare factor 3: Start talking to dog with one eye on movie.

Scare factor 4: Turn on lights

Scare factor 5: Hug dog tightly and only listen to movie

Scare factor 6: RUN AWAY FROM TV!!!

Lynn remembers that it was a Yr 11 prescribed book (at least she thinks so). Lynn is trying to think. It was not wild swans... grr, Lynn will try asking friends who actually studied ..

WAIT!

It was the "Joy Luck Club" :)

Justin is disappointed in Marcus, and expected so much more. :p

In any case, it seems to ease the tension a bit, even if it only does result in him and Damian laughing hysterically at very lame things.

Lynn wishes she could have been there, as laughing hysterically at lame things is so very entertaining.
