mokie: Earthrise seen from the moon (Default)
Last night's dream involved some sort of complicated secret plot. I have a gnattering it had religious and/or political overtones, but I can't remember the specifics.

What I do remember is that, at several points when I was evading or searching for enemy agents, a voice called to the dreaming me, "Fra Angelico! Over here!"

I turned and saw a hole in reality, a rectangle with sharply defined lines, as if someone had taken a subtle knife and cut a door into the living, breathing world like it was a backdrop. Inside the door was pure white with no distinction between floor, wall and ceiling except what looked like a row of black ladders with rounded, stylized supports; it was the behind-the-scenes machinery of reality, and I was being offered an escape from my pursuers there, or a shortcut through it.

I resisted. I didn't know who was calling out to me, or why, and I suspected their priorities were not compatible with my current mission.

I have a neighbor named Angela; my windows face south so the afternoon light is wickedly bright, even with the white blinds; and my hammock is black, with angles not unlike a ladder. It's entirely likely that someone decided to look Angela up midday and I stirred just enough for this to remold my dreams.

But I still wonder what they wanted with me, and why I was a crime-fighting saint.

About dream/reading tags

y-* tags categorize dreams.

For types: beyond the obvious, there are dreamlets (very short dreams), stubs (fragment/outline of a partially-lost dream), gnatter (residual impression of a lost dream).

For characters: there are roles (characters fitting an archetype), symbols (characters as symbols), and sigils (recurring figures with a significance bigger than a single dream's role/symbolism).

x-* tags categorize books.

Material is categorized primarily by structure, style and setting. If searching for a particular genre, look for the defining features of that genre, e.g. x-form:nonfic:bio, x-style:horror, x-setting:dystopian.
