Brilliant dream analysis; I found the interpretation fascinating. <br /><br />3. YAY! I cannot wait, though I'm sad the series will soon be over. I'm sure you'll end it in spectacular fashion though. <br /><br />4. Oh no, poor little guy. :( I hope he's okay and the itching goes away soon.<br /><br />5. Have fun at your writer's group. Sorry your story didn't get accepted by Daily Science Fiction. , but it sounds like you took the rejection well. Good luck when you submit it elsewhere.<br /><br />Have a fab weekend! :DClarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102199553293874800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-47782002405623514872013-06-21T23:08:07.870-04:002013-06-21T23:08:07.870-04:00dream dream dream!

I had a play shortlisted for a festival in the UK, and I'm like, "Why did you even tell me?" I mean, I know they mean to show me how much they liked it, but if the end result is the same (rejection), it just kills to know how close you came.<br /><br />And thanks for linking to the dream site!<br /><br />~MPL<br /><a href="http://pepperwords.com" rel="nofollow">PepperWords</a><br />Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13464393340517511305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-7544906185614025272013-06-21T10:58:05.143-04:002013-06-21T10:58:05.143-04:00So sorry to hear about the poison ivy.

I was a poison ivy magnet when I was a kid so I really feel for the little guy!<br /><br />I've no doubt Ghost will be a great and fitting ending to the 13th Floor series. I read The Oracle & Vampire while I was on vacation and just loved it, this whole series is fantastic and I'm sure Ghost will be the same. <br /><br />I'm totally fascinated by dreams so I'm off to read your analysis now. :)Julie Flandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003737491313673214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-47503909340195146002013-06-21T10:53:18.020-04:002013-06-21T10:53:18.020-04:00Sorry to hear of your son's poison ivy.

Luckily, though, mine never seemed to itch, so I was fortunate in that respect. <br /><br />Have you tried Gold Bond powder or cream?
