Marta shifted uneasy on the couch, considering carefully what and how much to divulge to the alt couple. “Dreams seem to take place in a shared place, like it’s own realm. We’ve encountered many of our own alternates there, as well as alternates of our friends and family.”
She continued, motion with her hands as if to explain her thoughts. “My current working theory is the existence of a collective unconscious, and somehow the gates allow a sort of access to it, but… well, that theory is based on many assumptions I can’t begin to prove. At the moment, most of our understanding is pure speculation.”
“So, the other versions of us that we saw in there, they are real?” Alt Marta asked, leaning forward.
“Yeah, so far as we can tell,” she explained with a nod. How honest could she be, right now? How much would be too much for them to handle? “We’ve met several of them, in other realities.”
“Wow, I may have picked the wrong week to give up drinking,” Alt Marta responded with nervous laughter. She leaned into her peter, and was quiet for a time. As the moments lingered in tense silence, Marta considered changing the subject, before her alt spoke up again, “Okay, so if the alts of us are real people, who happen to exist in other realities, what about the other things in the dream? Like, there was a goo-type being, like an intelligent blob of ink, and it tried to speak to us. To me, I think. I mean, it said my name.” Alt Marta stared out past them, her eyes unfocused. Or, actually, intensely focused on something that wasn’t there. “Could that thing be real?”
