No great surprise that a game moderated by me might have trouble with its non-ordos ..... I don't have to be asleep to have nightmares about MM1 ...and am forever grateful for the good nature of my players. That said, bringing Gil back from the dead is possibly my favourite post of my own.....

Hmm... two dreams involving me and the sub-creative process.

In one there's a dual primary and secondary reality experience going on: living the adventure as well as writing it.

In the other we're making music together, with sis along..... And nobody was off-key, either, right? --- Anakron and Panakeia, I suppose...

All quite on key, surprisingly enough in my case as my singing voice can be deduced from my avatar.

Anakron and Panakeia? I hope I'm not her!

I should add, though, that the sis in my dream is the one who has been eagerly following Anakron and Panakeia since ATM I...

....and keeps peppering you with ideas for the poor lady of Harad, no doubt..... (uh, this is beginning to resemble ATM2 discussion thread 2)

Feanor,

And then we were working on a series of posts for what was labelled Tapestry of Dreams but didn't follow the story line at all. You know how in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry is writing in Tom's diary one minute and is inside of it watching the action the next? That happened. Only we were both inside watching AND outside writing it all. It was downright cool, being in two places at once.

Helen showed up, but she was actually Child, and told us that she loved the new plot twist.

Good grief! Here I am wandering around other people's dreams (and RPGs) and I don't even know it!

And another LMP dream, courtesy of a cold virus inspired nap this afternoon.

I was sitting on the computer reading the Downs when a window popped up from AIM saying that I had a message from littlemanpoet. The pop-up asked if I wanted to accept the message. Of course I did, and a discussion of plans for ATM II (pretty much the same as we've been discussing via PM) followed.

Pretty straightforward since it was very close to what we've been chatting about by PM, and the only change was that the conversation was held on IM rather than the Downs...

In fact, the only non-realistic portion of this dream is that a glance at LMP's profile tells me that he's on Yahoo, not AIM, so real IMs wouldn't come through the AIM software.

Yuck. Anyway, some possibilities: (1) your subconscious is telling you that you really wish LMP would get with it and get either AIM or YIM. (2) you're practicing some kind of breakaway osanwë because I used to do YIM.

(3) your fevered brain is processing the most delusional aspects of your life experience.
