I prefer to think she just patrols dreams, and sticks around for longer if she catches a hint of something bad.

"Good dream... good dream... good dream... weird, kinky dream... good dream..."

"I wish I could take dream pictures, because this is primo blackmail material all up ins."

Ahoy hoy!

Well, as long as you're playing the role of extractor, it should be easy enough to find more concrete blackmail material in the real world.

If she sees a kinky dream, she trolls the dreamer.

@Steve: I like to imagine her sitting in a corner reading a book and going "Oh no, don't mind me, just keep doing what you're doing."

Heya Apple.

I'm sure Luna has... needs. It's technically not hanky-panky if it only happens inside the fantasy of a dreamworld :V

Would it be at all possible to talk about Luna without delving into creepy things that I'd rather just pretend didn't exist?

pony!Fi

Well, she does infiltrate dreams...

And erotic dreams are common...

I just find it more funny than anything.

Say. Does the thing with Scootaloo count as inception?

Or, can Luna do that sort of thing in the first place?

Hey, my scenario is purely comedic.

And you know lucid dreams? That's Luna when she actively invades your dream and because of that, you gain full control.

Assuming direct control?

Yes.

Just wondering is all. So, Lucid Dreamers are in fact, Reavers.

Yeah.

Pinkie can only ever lucid dream, and she is a goddess of her own pocket dimension.

@Perpetual: "I am the Princess of the Night. Thus it is my duty to come into your dreams."

Dreams plural. The only way to fulfil that duty is to enter all the dreams of every citizen.

Besides. I don't see how we should be surprised that Luna can either divide her concciousness or Hive Mind like that easily enough. It's kind of reqired for multilocality. And there are plenty of fictional characters with similar abilities.

And one day that dimension will escape into the real world. And then I don't know what.

Well, in Pinkie's dimension, everyone is perfectly happy, and she and her friends live in a big castle, exactly like Canterlot.

And when they escape, almost nothing bad will happen.

It's basically the exact opposite of everything I've said.

So, Equestria, but with all the bad parts taken out.

Apple Bloom should be Mary Jane, with all that red hair.

That, or the red-headed girl Charlie Brown has a crush on.

Pretty much.

The problem is, when her dimension escapes, mine does too. The happiness will be wiped out in a nuclear war.

Which makes me rather sad. Which is not helping the situation at all.

@Sereg Again, we have no evidence of her "multilocating" before, since it would have been easier for it to have been illusions or unthinking constructs with that Shadowbolt thing. And dreams being plural in no way implies being multiple at once.

You keep pulling out this "other fictional characters have done it" argument, when that means nothing in the context of this universe. Not to mention that she's shown no evidence of being a genius or savant, which would be required to be capable of splitting one's mind like that.

It's not impossible, but I see no reason to jump to conclusions when nothing even remotely suggests it.
