I&#8217;ve gotten ideas for stories and (don&#8217;t laugh) the theme of my wedding. :)</p> sister sledge http://faerye.net/post/fever-reality#comment-1207 2004-05-08T10:23:56+00:00 2004-05-08T10:23:56+00:00 <p>I like remembering my dreams, in general. Heck, my only novel in any state of construction started from a dream I had.</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/fever-reality#comment-1206 2004-05-07T16:17:47+00:00 2004-05-07T16:17:47+00:00 <p>Perhaps I should consider myself lucky? I can <i>never</i> remember any of my dreams. Well, sometimes I have a vague sense of what was going on in a dream, right when I wake up, but I&#8217;m never able to hold on to it and it dissolves in my mind like a fleeting morning mist. It&#8217;s strange.</p> <p>As an added curio, I might mention that, to my great dismay and repeated regrets, this volatile memory of mine never holds it in its grace to aid in eroding my recollection of stupid things I did while intoxicated the night before awakening with a massive hangover. Such is indeed the irony of my days.</p> GreyStork http://faerye.net/post/fever-reality#comment-1204 2004-05-07T14:33:30+00:00 2004-05-07T14:33:30+00:00 <p>I slept until 11:30 am yesterday&#8230; and cannot remember my dreams :)</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/fever-reality#comment-1203 2004-05-07T13:14:38+00:00 2004-05-07T13:14:38+00:00 I hope Buffy gave you some peace, and allowed to to nap after losing sleep. <p> For much of my young life (around the first Gulf War) I had hellish war-time nightmares, always with a sense of yet to come upon waking. This is probably why some of them stay with me to this day. <p> These days I try not to watch the evening news. It helps me to get the fret out earlier in the day, thereby avoiding real-world induces nightmares.</p></p> grizelda http://faerye.net/post/fever-reality#comment-1201 2004-05-07T08:43:07+00:00 2004-05-07T08:43:07+00:00 <p>So which am I, poet, lover, or madwoman?<br /> <br /> I can testify my non-dulcet tones best become a madwoman&#8217;s at present. People flinch in sympathy when I speak.</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/fever-reality#comment-1200 2004-05-06T15:10:21+00:00 2004-05-06T15:10:21+00:00 <blockquote>...hath strong imagination,<br /> That if it would but apprehend some joy,<br /> It comprehends some bringer of that joy;<br /> Or in the night, imagining some fear,<br /> How easy is a bush supposed a bear!</blockquote> mfc
