new year dream

today the upstairs noise has nothing to do with music. There are builders in. Or at least people who bash stuff around and have buildery conversations on the front steps. Mostly I've stayed asleep but been subliminally aware of them.

Today I had this big complicated Dr Who dream that turned out to be a Buffy crossover when I found Ethan. It was like the biggest New Year party of all time - literally, there were people there from every time. Ethan was in the crowd of actual romans, celebrating Janus (which activity I managed to crash, cartwheeling through in front of them while they were all bowing to Janus. Bowing to me! Chaos giggly me!). He had half his face painted grey, like a statue. That made something in my mind click and I painted half my face red. Whatever I was using was shiny, and had an unfortunate tendency to try and cover the other half too... But then I could see the exit, and actually reach it, instead of running between zones getting in progressively more trouble.

See painting your whole face is a mask, subsuming your identity under this construction. But painting only half doesn't hide your other self, it just gives you options.

Dreams? Freaky.
