at the crossroads between waking and dream

At the appointed hour, the Thirteen came to the tower, and with them, a woman whose destiny was decided by the purpose to which she had been born. She would be the first Guardian, the human protector of the Balance, who would stay in the tower for a thousand years to watch over the two worlds, and to ensure that the flows of magic and science were always equal. And so the ritual begins…

“Waiting for Dreamfall Chapters”


"I think a lot of people feel that they can live without mystery, the fear of the unknown, maybe? For me the unknown is nothing to feared, it’s something to be embraced. I don’t know if people have lost it – I think people actually crave it. But in our daily lives there’s very little mystery. We go from our safe homes to our safe commute to our safe jobs and live in a safe environment. Of course we face things like death and disease, poverty and crime, but that’s really not about a sense of mystery. That’s just a sense of fear. I think we’re so closed in by the routines of our normal lives that mystery becomes something abstract that we don’t crave any more. When something kindles that sense of mystery in us, I think that’s very intriguing."  - Ragnar Tornquist (via importable)

Thank you so much for your help. :) I also like the last quote you posted there. If I haven't decided which to get by then, I'll be sure to ask you at that time. I just hope I won't bother you with the matter, if I do. :p Once again, thank you! <3 :)

I’m happy I could help =) Feel free to ask me again, it’s no bother - I love discussing Dreamfall and The Longest Journey. This was fun =) Let me know when you decide!

I really love the idea of getting the talisman of the balance. And as far as quotes go: "If you dream the right dream, it becomes reality." And "If death is the end, I know that our dreams are left behind." I don't mean to be a bother really though, but do you think you can come up with a few more? :) I just want to make certain I get something that has somewhat meaning to myself as well as the love I have for the game. :p I'd also really like if it was a quote from Zoe..if possible.

Of course! No problem. Let’s get some more meaningful Zoë quotes!

  • They say that every story has a beginning and an end. That might be true in most cases. Sometimes, however, the two are one and the same.
  • I don’t want to be adrift anymore. I want to be where I’m needed the most.
  • My story’s been told. The future is out of my hands… and in yours. (You need to do something. You need to tell my story until the word is out, until everyone knows what’s going on.)
  • Sometimes we just have to trust that things will be okay.

These are just some I have written in my TLJ/Dreamfall notebook, I’d have to play the game again to find more and I don’t have the time for that now, haha. I hope you find something you like, but if not, ask me again in summer, I want to play the game again then and I will be making notes while playing.

I figured you could help me out with this. I fell in love with Dreamfall ever since I played it so many years ago and I decided I wanted to get a tattoo in reference to it. However, I am unsure about what to get and I need some suggestions. :( I was thinking perhaps some quote from the game seeing as I wouldn't personally go so far as to get one of the characters tattooed. If you can help, I'd be very appreciative. :)

Oh wow, what a great idea =) Well, I can suggest a few quotes, and if you can’t decide we can definitely brainstorm this further.

If we are talking only about Dreamfall quotes and ignore TLJ for the time being, here are some:

  • Nothing you do, if done with passion, is pointless. (Zoë’s trainer Jama said this.)
  • May the stars shine on you. (Na’ane.)
  • If you give up hope then there is none left. (Na’ane)
  • We’re bound by threads that weave through time and space, by words that create and destroy, and by kinship stronger than blood. (White of the Kin)
  • Dreams are the fabric that make cosmos. (Gordon the Guardian)
  • You can force me to comply, but you can never, ever force me to agree with you. (a Zhid woman in the magical ghetto)
  • Magic’s always a good answer. You can’t go wrong with magic. That’s my final answer. Magic. (Crow :) )
  • You just have to start buying into stuff like destiny and precognition, or you’ll go nuts. (Crow)
  • Faith will bring you where you’re needed the most. (White of the Kin)
  • If you dream the right dream, it becomes reality. (White)
  • If death is the end, I know that our dreams remain behind. (Zoë)
  • This universe and everything in it is like an endlessly thick book, containing countless stories. (the Vagabond)

These are just some quotes, we can definitely find more if you want. Or, what would be fantastic to get tattooed if not a quote is the talisman of the balance:
