Peter's dreams

We should probably move the bulk of Peter's dreams to this page; in fact, we might even think about just making Peter's dreams into a redirect to this page. All we would really lose it the chronological history, which would be replaced by a pictorial history of examples with cites. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 02:15, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

• I second the redirect idea, but ask that the page not be deleted before it becomes a redirect so that the history can be preserved.--MiamiVolts (talk) 02:19, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
  • If it's a redirect, it won't be deleted. The history remains intact. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 02:28, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

Charles Deveaux HTSAEM dream sequence

Should it be cited here? Since it was "past-tense" dreaming and not "future-tense" dreaming, should it effect the name of the power? --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 09/23/2008 07:52 (EST)

Name

I'm hoping for "Premonition" for a few reasons. One, if this is precognitive dreaming then Issac's power should be called precognitive painting. Two, the two powers are different in that Issac and Usutu can create images with exact details, while Angela and Peter see things in symbolic ways. --Piemanmoo 11:19, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

• I'm torn. I like "premonition" because it hints that the vision isn't exact. I don't like it for two reasons though--anybody can have a premonition. I've always understood "premonition" to mean a feeling about something that is going to happen. But ultimately, it doesn't address the dreaming aspect (even Angela mentioned dreams). -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 11:29, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
  • But shouldn't we also avoid a name that infers 'future-only', because of the past-tense dream sequence Peter had with Charles in HTSAEM? --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 09/23/2008 12:20 (EST)
  • Well we don't know if the interaction with Charles was due to Angela's ability or something else, possibly another ability held by charles. Who knows? --Piemanmoo 13:41, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
    • I'm going to have to agree with pieman. We could just always change it to Spontaneous Premonitions. Jason Garrick 15:47, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
