Quote:>Strong Belief and Good Memories
That's right, that's right. It's been a while since the Professor made new candles,
but he always said they were made of your convictions and your good memories.
Conviction is the foundation: nightmares are at their most dangerous when you think they're real, so the candles need to smell like something that's really real. In those desperate moments where what exists and what doesn't blur, you need to be able to compare what happens in Dreamland against the things you know can or can't happen in the waking world.
So the candle starts with an immutable truth: Your name is Lynette Fairfield. You are twenty-two years old. You just graduated college, and your first day at work will go great, and absolutely nothing will go wrong.
Okay, okay, maybe getting ahead of yourself with that last one.
But you also need a whiff of nostalgia in there - when the nightmares are around, the candle needs to glow with the warmth of a truly happy thought. You want the candle you take to work to be a strong one.
You think of a moment in your childhood when you were completely, fully, truly happy...
What was it?
