dream, friendly/aggressively recruiting group mind
like the CW says. I'd been "recruited" into the group mind, but I was still in stage 1, my mind was being integrated but I was still individual enough to feel attached to my body. I came to the local hive node because I was feeling physically distressed, and they cheerfully took me in, wrapped me in a warm blanket (which felt AMAZING), and put me in a quiet room with other stage 1 semi-individuals, and we talked a bit.
