"To Sleep, Perchance to Dream"

(in the immortal words of Shakespeare, or Sir Francis Bacon)

"ay, there's the rub." (Egan's favourite part)

I dreamed that I was going to have one use of a machine that granted any wish. I had about 2 minutes to come up with what I wanted to wish for. I remember immediately rejecting a few possibilities in fear that they might cause some unforeseen disaster on a massive scale, though I don't remember what they were. I do remember that I chose the ability to work simple magic and perform healing on a small scale.

I also dreamed (dreamt?) that Cyd (our van) had something very slightly wrong with it and that GuTTer MuNKi decided to sell it and buy a new one, which upset me greatly, because it was such an expensive option and I'd thought we were planning to drive Cyd into the ground.

I'm tired of winter. I want to open the windows and let in some fresh air. At least the sun is shining today. Oooh, and it's Wednesday! ^_^
