And it looks like I have time to update now. It was a very good weekend, with a game on Friday that lasted for over four hours, resolved some major plot points, brought up another plot point, and contained what [livejournal.com profile] olethros refers to as some of the most disturbing imagery ever (sorry!).

Then Saturday contained a barbecue with some of the SCA folks, experimenting with hot-smoking techniques using peat as the smoke source, and a home-made jerk chicken rub. Carib Indian/Bog Irish Fusion Cookery! It worked well, and Arpad and I have plans to improve the next version.

Sunday was spent fetching various bits of hardware from Ranelagh, gardening, and barbecuing. The hardware haul involved a new bin; a 3lb hammer for use as a ritual tool; duck tape; some broom handle which will become a practice stick for heavy fighting; a few metal hook/prop things for hanging baskets, lanterns, etc on; new shears for the garden, and some other odds and ends.

So I was comfortably tired (especially after working on the translation of a tough Finnish passage) going into last night, only to dream one of the more bizarre dreams I've had in a long time. The main feature of the dream was this big rambling house, full of long galleries, internal balconies, and high windows. At various points in the dream it belonged to my cousin Brian, mysef and [livejournal.com profile] inannajones, [livejournal.com profile] yendi (or a future version of him, looking very dignified with grey hair), and Miroza-the-cat. The dream went on and on and on, and seemed to cover about thirty years worth of vignettes here and there, and featured just about everyone I know.

At one point, I was moving picture frames from one storage room to another in the house, helped by my younger brother, who was muttering that our father was never going to recognise the fact that he was now legally married. At another, I was trying to persuade the cat that a hundredweight of salmon was not a good price for the house, and that she'd lose the comfy spots all over it that she'd spent years and hundreds of euros building. Our cat sounds worryingly like Alf. And another involved a long form that needed to be countersigned by [livejournal.com profile] inannajones, [livejournal.com profile] yendi, and the cat, and then faxed to [livejournal.com profile] murnkay, who was waiting for it in Chicago so that he could pass it on to Al Capone. I woke up more than a bit disoriented, and I keep on flashing back to scenes from it.

"big rambling house, full of long galleries, internal balconies, and high windows." in dreams, a house usually signifies your mind. your dream-version of your mind sounds right on track. big, rambling, galleries, balconies, windows... cool. :)

Ooh, ooh, building dream! Cool. I get them all the time. All kinds of houses, theatres, cathedrals, government buildings, hotels - you name it.

It makes sense to me that they should represent the mind.
