Dreamed I was a Baroness
Dec. 26th, 2012 06:24 pmI dreamed I inherited a sort of castle from a distant and previously unknown cousin. It was very oddly built, and I realised it was more about keeping things in than keeping things out. The courtyard had been enclosed, doors filled in, roof put on it, but it wasn't a banquet hall like it said on the plans, it was just the old courtyard with no escapes. All the interior doors were very thick indeed, and many of them showed signs of damage, like someone had tried to knock them out of their frames. But only on one side. The results left a mark and the cause did not.
On the front of the building was one large statue of a lion holding a shield, oddly to the right of center. Except on the photos there were five statues, all different animals, all holding different shields. The night I first arrived there was only the lion, at least when I went in. I heard a lot of stumbling around, and a woman led her kids through to the back rooms apparently blithely unconcerned that I, owning the place, had no idea who she was. But by the time I got to the front door to let a friend in and then back to show her, the woman had gone. From a house with only one entrance. We were creeped out, but the friend was Rani from the Sarah Jane Adventures, so she had some ideas for investigating too.
The next night there was a sort of a dragon statue up top, in the space left of center. That night we started to figure it out. ( Read more... )
So that's a fun set up. Five alternate worlds intersecting in one building, limited resources, very limited knowledge, and a kind of clean slate for deciding how to deal with them all. There's a lot of story in that one.
In other news, I am asleep a lot due to ill, and only got up cause mum phoned me because I hadn't phoned her today. This is because when I phoned her yesterday I mentioned I was going straight back to bed and we agreed I would phone her when I was awake. Which I was not. But mum is having a merry christmas, so that's nice. My brothers are both still there and there will be big eatings that mum does not have to cook. That's like the big win of all christmas ever. But I don't mind missing it because it is carnivore christmas.
Everyone said thanks for their presents. Except for daft brother, who said 'any more?', but we think he means he liked them.
