YOUR PRESENCE IS KNOWN

DREAM NOTES

 

I wrote about the stampede.  Yet I know from dreams that Deirdre soon didn't bother hiding the rebel hand in the soldiers' misfortunes.  And I dreamed that the commanding officer was called "Sarge", even though he had a whole lot more troops under him than is normal for a sergeant.  Some of the tents were khaki, some were olive, a few were blue, and many patched with colors other than the original.  I surmise that scattered men and decimated ranks just kept accumulating under him.

I wrote the caraway scene.

I dreamed that, as Randy, I played up my "little brother" role to the hilt, taking advantage of Don whenever I could, especially regarding goodies "owed" to me.  It became a running joke between us.  Again, though, without details.

I dreamed of Zanne and Cybil eating lunch together, but made up the conversation.  Zanne's religion is more clearly explained in "The Poison Gamble". I imagine that Cybil would be relieved to learn that Zanne's not a Chapelbodlian, because Zanne's delight in deceptions would mark her as outcast from that community and not to be trusted; Cybil has no idea how close to accurate that is!
