Last Night's Dream

24/8/2017

Good morning, Readers!
Picture
I snagged this image from klejonka.info. When you wish upon a star, and all that. Click for link.
Last night was awesome.

I streamed Assassin's Creed Unity.  I did well, and it was fun.  A huge thank you to everyone who hung out online with me while I gamed.  It's so much fun chatting with you and being silly as I play.

This streaming thing really is awesome.

Anyway, I went to bed in a great mood.  I had played well, spent a fun few hours with awesome people, and crawled into bed thinking of Arno and Elise.  I guess, however, that Skylark was sitting just behind those immediate thoughts, because I had a very vivid dream about it.

I dreamt that I was sitting at a café, enjoying a good cup of coffee and some pastries.  My flatmate came up to me (at least, I think it was her.  That more of an impression, though, as I didn't really see her face in the dream.  She was wearing a white sundress, if that matters) and handed me my mail.  It was an envelope from a publisher.

The first thing that entered my head was that it was yet another rejection letter.  As I was opening the envelope, a courier arrived and have me sign for another envelope.  I did, and opened that one up.

It took me a moment, but in that second, larger envelope was a number of documents and a cheque.

I ignored it, opting to read the rejection first.

That's when I noticed the cheque.

And after a brief investigation, it turned out that the other documents included a publishing contract, and a advance cheque of nearly ten thousand dollars.  That is not the largest advance a writer has ever been given, but it's nothing to snuff at.

When the realisation of what I had just been given hit, and that strange heart flutter of a dream come true arrived...

I woke up.

And that was my dream.

Needless to say, I don't think it's prophetic.  It did put a spring in my step as I walked to work this morning, however.

So, combined with last night's stream and my early morning dream, I'm in a really good mood.

Please don't screw that up today, world!

Now, I'm off to learn more Welsh.

​CIao!
