In the pre-dawn morning, there are no colours, only shades of grey. It's disconcerting.
I had a number of dreams last night, including a scene from Neil Gaiman's "A Study in Emerald" (in which the two protagonists meet The Queen). At least I know where that dream comes from, as I began re-reading that story yesterday.
But the dream I remember most vividly was about Pennsic. I dreamt that I'd arrived at Pennsic but had forgotten to pre-register, and so had no land set aside from me at the Marauder's camp. I began setting up camp at Quatrefoil, but there were only three of us there, and we eventually decided to take down everything we'd just set up. That took us until late afternoon.
I went down to the Marauder's and initially went to the wrong part of the block. In this wrong camp, there were several people playing video games and relaxing. There was decidedly no room for another camper. When asked whether John McGuire was there, they told me he was in another camp. So I went to that camp, where there was likewise a shortage of space. I begged and pleaded, offering to share a tent and just set up my air mattress anywhere people would let me. I don't remember how that actually got resolved.
Also in that dream, a bunch of the IDD pirates were sitting on the shores of the lake (still at Pennsic). I went down to find them, and wound up giving Dannicus a fairly intense kiss. I remember we both enjoyed it, though I justified it by the thought, "this sort of thing only happens at Pennsic."
Shortly after this dream, I found myself awake and starting at a clock that read (I believe) 5:30 am. I don't like mornings.
