-Title quote (translated): "Beginning"-

I had a dream that I ate a plate of cookies that had one brownie at the bottom. The brownie was drugged, and I spent the rest of the dream trying to find out who drugged it.

Have a happy new year!

Reality check. And a belated merry Christmas.

-Watch quote: "LAX"-

I wish I had more dreams that involved me being in a video game. I had one this week, and it was amazing, very vivid. The game reminded me of King's Quest, except with a wee bit more immersiveness.

This week I took a plane trip and noticed something interesting. If you look at an airplane, near the bottom, where the little pressure hole is, you can often see a tiny "fairy ring" of frost.

Reality check. That's all.

I was in this video game (think SimCity) and I managed to find the plushy, four-limbed purple creature that provided the "eye in the sky" view for me, the player. Or at least, I dreamed that I did. It was extremely vivid. Also, it made sense at the time.

Having wasted most of today getting lost on tvtropes.org, I have nothing more to say than to go there yourself. Watch helplessly as your productive hours spiral away...

Reality check. Also, be sure to check out the article on straw Vulcans.

-Grammar quote: "The comma comes before the conjunction, for that is where the reader pauses!"-

Swimming is a magnificent thing, in dreams. Perhaps that is why one of my dreams this week involved leaping from a chandelier into an enormous swimming pool (the deep end alone could have easily swallowed the biggest pool I've seen in real life). Of course, later in the dream some guys that I know told me where I could get really cheap shoes, so I went from that awesome pool vignette to... shoe shopping? Ugh, what an anticlimax.

Telekinesis would be an interesting skill to have (as I've mentioned before), but here's an odd thought picture. What if people had profound telekinetic power, but they had to physically get up and move emotions around? Would chairs and tables become their version of emotions, since they would be easier to manipulate? What role would "thoughts" and "emotions" play, in that case? Would such a people regard what we call the mental world as their physical world?

Reality check. Comma comes before the conjunction.
