mokie: Eyes formed of leaves (dream meta)
While waiting for feedback on tasks very last night/very early this morning, I tried to catch up with cleolindacleolinda's Hannibal recaps, because:

- Hannibal is incredible. Seriously, why are you not watching it?

- Cleolinda's TV/movie recaps are the stuff of Internet legend.

- My schedule is all screwy, and if mushroom people and meat wings won't keep me awake, nothing will.*

As it turns out, mushroom people and meat wings were no match for my wonky schedule, and I dozed off into jewel-toned serial killer dreams oozing with homoeroticism. All things in fandom ooze with homoeroticism. It's damn near fandom's Prime Directive. Plus, cannibal or not, booty-watching and lip-licking and Will Graham-sniffing is going to play a little ooh baby, even without the whole Abigail has two daddies subplot.

In any case, I remember the colors, I remember the ambiance, I remember waking up long enough to slam my hand down on the TV's 'mute' button during some terribly loud commercial. What I don't remember? The dreams.

Not fair, brain. Not fair.

The telephone finally woke me up, and I opened my eyes to Julianne Moore on Rachael Ray, because sometimes, life is just damned funny.


* Except maybe Slenderman, but that's a contingency best saved for when I never, ever want to sleep again.

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.
