Hopefully it will help. [She smiled over at her and winked.] And if it comes down to it you can call on us. there's usually one of us willing to help the others on the network. no need to be shy.
Certainly. Feel free. I might not have an answer, but I will definitely try to give you one. [Though no promises that the answer would be one she liked.]
I can... but it depends upon what you want to know. I can tell you a little of mine, and how they've happened. I could tell you how it felt afterwards.
But it really does depend on what you're asking. There could be many things to share.
[She looked for something to relax against. This might be a long conversation. The first question, though, was logical and simpler.]
We don't know. Most of the time, something triggers it. Seeing a gun might cause you to see a vision that involves guns. Looking into a campfire might show someone something of a fire, or campaign. I was in a water gun fight when I remembered something once.
[She sighed, raking her fingers through her hair.] But it isn't guaranteed. Sometimes it's ... just random. No warning, and Retrospec once offered to just give people one if they won a contest.
If triggered, it is usually right then. Sometimes they flash back again, but usually it happens right when they are triggered. that is at least consistent.
I see. [ahem] I've had some of the same, so it does make sense. Just know that it is hard to force them. It seems that, when we try to get more, we tend to fail, like it doesn't like to be forced by us.

[She shakes her head.]
This is so far beyond my comprehension, all I can do is accept it.

You have my gratitude. Do you mind a question, then?

Can you tell me more about the odd visions Retrospec users receive from time to time?

Do they come back immediately after the trigger, or some time later?

Do they ever come in the form of dreams, for example?

I had a dream of fighting a monster, but I was unsure if it was a vision as described, or simply a very strange dream.
no subject
if you see more of this, or if something you saw in it appears here at some point, that's a good sin it was a vision.
no subject
I will keep that in mind. I hope I don't have to fight more strange insects to trigger more of these visions.
no subject
...Well, think of it this way. A water gun fight triggered a memory of a real gun fight. It doesn't need to risk your life, no?
no subject
... Perhaps Tatsuo's classes will help trigger more, in that case.
Though I am unsure I want to trigger more.
no subject
And, I could understand not wanting to. They seem to come, like it or not.
no subject
The one vision I have seen so far involves fighting. Martial arts seem as likely to trigger it as any other ideas I have.
