When the children on Vaskania Prime first started experiencing the dream world, no one knew it was a shared reality. Because they appeared so differently from their physical selves, they could not identify one another, or even know for certain they were encountering other humans. The landscape of the dream world was filled with empty structures, certainly not built for humans, but for something with an altogether different way of being in the world.

At first the children were isolated and only saw others at distances, unable to make speech happen normally or words carry, and they wondered if this land was inhabited by these strange shadow creatures they kept seeing at a distance. Only after more and more stories of the dream world were told, and the machines were able to unify these accounts together, did it become apparent that what the children were seeing as shadows were their own dreaming friends.
