newnumber6Some odd stuff
One dream (or part of a dream anyway) was particularly odd. I stepped out of an elevator, and everything was green, and someone waiting for the elevator complained that hey, now everything's green. And I looked back, and realized that, oops, yep, went I passed through it I accidentally altered reality slightly, due to the influence of the Fae that was affecting me. Instead of a list of floors, the elevator had a list of weird levels of reality and unreality. Since the person was trying to get to somewhere in the real world, I went with them into the elevator and pushed 'the mundane world'. While passing we were discussing some of the other levels, by name. I don't remember most of them, but one kind of stood out. 'Necklace of Galaxies'. He asked what it meant, and I mentioned something about it being quite literal, about an area where many galaxies of the universe were arranged as a necklace on a god (and so if you were in there, you could see different things in your night sky depending on what the god was facing, etc.
Later, in another dream, I was at work, except it was a bookstore... or they added a bookstore to work or something anyway. I was working, and one of my bosses came up and asked me to sort through some of the books, so I did. Then, he realized I was a reader. So, he told me about one particular book they had called something the Mountain related. Maybe even just 'The Mountain'. He wanted me to stop work, pick up the book, read it, and then write a 'staff recommendation' that other people would see in the store, so they'd have better luck selling it; apparently they were stuck with a lot of copies of it and it wasn't selling. He told me also not to say anything about it because technically it was illegal to tell someone to read it and write a good review of it. I told him that... well, I'll read it if you want, but I'm not going to write a good review unless I actually like it enough to recommend it. He sort of suggested then that my job depended on it, but that he'd write a vague recommendaton if I wanted but my name would be on it (apparently he couldn't do so, or the recommender had to later answer questions about it or something to prove he read it) and I looked him in the eye and said, "Well, no. I consider myself bound by ethics, and I'm not going to recommend a book I don't like." And he said, "Well, you'd better write a recommendation for this one if you know what's good for you." So, I just told him, "Well, you'd better hope I like the book." He left, and I went to look for the book in question, worrying that I'd probably have to start looking for another job. I found the book, and just remember it was something about the 'true romance of Constantine", which didn't bode well. That's about all I remember of that part.
Lots of other assorted images (at one point there was a dream where I was seriously injured or something in a mall, and this was after the fact, and someone was explaining to me it was because a movie projectionist screwed up. Another was about some woman who killed her kids that I heard about.
I do remember I had another dream where I was living with a different arrangement of people (can't remember who, though)... just remember it enough that when I woke up I took like 5 seconds to remember exactly where it was I _actually_ lived, and with whom.
