• I promised a Big Overview of my happy few days in Austin, but it was unsettlingly happy enough that I’m still trying to pull the words together.
  
  In other news, last night’s dream was a two-parter:
  
  1) Some friends of mine were having a full-on pagan wedding in a county courthouse, so they could sign the papers and perform the great rite simultaneously. I didn’t know anyone there except my housemate X, who was playing drums.
  
  2) Somehow that became a dream about visiting the Vorlon homeworld. (This is a Babylon 5 reference, illustrating what a total geek I actually am.) I was on Vorlon with someone else who was supposed to be John Sheridan. We were figuring out some kind of puzzle, when it became obvious that the Vorlons had visited earth back in the 20th century and were behind the original series of Star Trek. Then Gene Roddenberry was there, and we all had a laugh.
  
  My dreams are funny a lot of the time, but only on reflection. While they’re happening, I’m immersed, with no perspective. It was unique that we were laughing about how silly this sci-fi dream was.
