Choose Your Own: D.I.O, Ch 2PLEASE READ CHAPTER 0 and CHAPTER 1 FIRST--I sat for a long while, thinking about everything. The choices I'd made to come here, not just here here, but this vacation, this point in my life.I'd made a good hobby out of dream studies, good enough to suppliment my income, and I knew my personal weak points in those fabricated realities. I knew the which dream signs worked for me and which didn't. I gave them a run through, and then a second time.
