DREAM WORLD SEES SUMMER FUN

By: Oswald

There’s a lot of fun happening across the dream world as of late.

With summer in full swing, a few areas around the dream world are holding fun activities to fully embrace that summer feeling. From holding picnics to playing football, the residents of the dream world sure know how to make the most of a season.

“They set up a cool little football match here at the Apartments,” Lemil of the Apartments told me, “It’s cool to play right in our own backyards, sort of.”

“Call me old-school but playing Tic-Tac-Toe at the Section has been a lot of fun,” Karena of the District said to me, “Sure it’s a simple game but I think I’ve gotten addicted to it.”

Some areas of the dream world are seeing cookouts and small get-togethers.

“There’s a small little pool party here at the Pool!” Lazaro of the Neighborhood told me, “It’s small but there’s food! Who can turn down food?”

“Looks like the Cafe has turned into the Tiki Cafe,” Artisan, a barista at the Cafe told me, “I love this environment. It’s very relaxing and upbeat. I wish it was like this all year.”

Of course, there’s a lot more summer fun out there to explore. The Subliminal Tribune will be following along for fun events all this summer. Stick with us as we explore the dream world through the rest of the summer season and bring you the latest as they happen!

HEALTH AGENCY REMINDS RESIDENTS TO STAY COOL

Summer’s a hot season, but it’s also important to stay cool about it.

At least that’s according to the DPF’s Dimension Disease Control and Protection agency. The health agency is reminding residents that it’s important to “beat the heat” and to “stay cool” as temperatures rise in the dream world. While temperatures aren’t hotter than normal for a typical summer season, it’s still hot out there and that means that it’s key to watch ourselves.

“It’s very important that residents stay hydrated and cool when outdoors,” DDCP chief Ophelia said in a press conference last Tuesday, “Hot temperatures can cause people to begin experiencing heat related illnesses if they are outdoors for too long. Drink water, stay in the shade or find a cool area indoors to relieve yourself from the heat.”

Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are the main types of heat related illnesses that can occur during the summer months in the dream world. Both can be dangerous to a person’s health but they are both easy to avoid as long as people take care of themselves.

“It’s important to know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke,” chief Ophelia said, “Make sure the person is moved to a cool spot, give them water and call emergency services if it gets serious. We can all prevent heat exhaustion and heat stroke if we take care of each other.”

Q/A: Ask Nate

Dear Nate, do most people in the dream world wake up and go to bed at the same times?

By: Ty M. Tusleip 

Hiya Ty! You may know that most humans in the dream world wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night, but the dream world is a bit different!

Since time down here is a bit strange, our "mornings" and "nights" are different depending on what you do. For most people who work, it depends on your schedule. Sometimes you may have to go to work in the evening hours and you rest during the morning hours. Maybe it's vice-versa. What you consider early might be someone else's late...pretty strange, right?

That being said, we don't necessarily get up or go to bed at similar times as a whole. There isn't a period of time during a normal day where streets are empty. It can be 8h and you'll see people taking the subway just as it can be 20h and you'll still see people bustling about. People are always coming and going and our wake/rest schedules all differ!

I guess that can make for some dilemmas when you're trying to plan things out with friends and family. You set a time to hang out, but it might interfere with someone else's schedule. It's times like these where I kind of wish schedules were uniform, but would that make day-to-day life less interesting then? I'll have to ask Lucid for his opinion on this!
