[Night Sky 883]

The Princess of Dreams

We are beautiful when we sleep because we are beautiful to Her eyes. She watches over us and gives us what we need. She never shields us from the consequences of our actions, or from the places our desires may be taking us, but She always does what She can to help us learn from our dreams.

She could have been a demoness of fear, or a granter of vain wishes or a planter of the seeds of strife. Her influence over dreams is a great power. But our moment of greatest vulnerability always brings out the best in Her. And so, she is a Protectress and a Friend, perhaps when we need one the most. Without dreams, what is life? And were it not for Princess Luna, what of our dreams?

Doesn't this have a relation to metaphysics and spirituality? I would like to discuss this topic further with you if that is okay, Night Sky, but I do have a question about your take on this one and I'd love to read your well written responses if you've got the time, because this is an interesting topic.

 

Ngl, I would consider it an honour for Princess Luna to visit my dreams or anyone else's who wanted this, sure she is a fictional character but fictional characters can still be dreamed about, in the real world, our reality, the subconscious creates the illusion.

However in an imaginary scenario where our reality got flipped on its head and she were real, I would not fear Luna, why? because I'd know she is sincere and compassionate. It makes no sense to fear whom does not wish to harm us and clearly has no ulterior motives in my opinion. People are free to disagree and that is okay, I kind of understand why some people would fear someone who is so powerful and apparently has vast knowledge of the psyche. Princess Luna uses the dreamworld to help individuals deal with recurring nightmares and to stop whatever is causing them, which has a solid ethical basis, because recurring nightmares are not cool, and yes, it is plausible that sometimes those nightmares can occur in Equestria because of hidden or unresolved traumas, guilt or insecurities.

 

I'm well aware that Princess Luna is capable of such devastation if she chose to do it, but since season 1 debut episode particularly around Scootaloo and other denizens of Equestria who she visited dreams of, she has shown herself to be gentle, she is not perfect, but then what individual is perfect, fictional or not? I see the beauty in Princess Luna's actions that many probably would not, and you do also. I don't believe Princess Luna is cruel, even if some people may think of her dreamwalking abilities as being creepy, weird or out of character for her.
