You're probably not dreaming, although I wouldn't rule out some kind of shared consciousness entirely. We could all be dreaming together, or be in some kind of elaborate hologram...but probably not.

I'm still trying to get a solid answer for your second question, but it seems there are some kind of monsters attacking this city, and we "visitors" are the best-equipped to fight them.

And finally, my name is Meetra Surik. It's nice to meet you, too.
