LATEST DREAMS

English-challenged Italian friends, sorry if I'm writing in English but there's no way I'll translate what follows into Italian!

So tonight I dreamed I was in a church and there were all the pews pushed against the wall and a wide space in the middle. I was kneeling there with the rest of the congregation, and suddenly three or four black-clothed ladies started dancing a slow sirtaki, and I thought it was pretty cool. Somehow there was order again, only all of us were turning our back to the altar and the priest was standing in front of the entrance door; I did not dare to ask why because it would look bad.

Then I left for a trip. Vague memories of driving on a lakeside road, maybe with my parents. Or it was the seaside. Anyway I find myself in a seaside town and in a room where four crazy men/women à la "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" with crazy hair, makeup, piercings, even scarification (notches on the nose) are singing a song. They are cosplaying Inuyasha. (They don't look even remotely like Inuyasha characters). Then I left trying to remember the song. The dream got steadily crazier. Forgot the rest.

Then of course lately I dreamed of WWIII which Rabé and I started in Arona by beginning with an innocent re-enactment, and a woman with a beard became Pope, and I was a heroic captain called Alessio or Alessi and wanted to be remembered after I died, and I was also myself trying to save the heroic captain and all our men from a burning castle while the Germans (maybe) were parachuting around us and we were trying to climb a wall...

And another time I dreamed I was at the seaside and there was a car buried in an attic and someone with a trebuchet was shooting at me... Oh, and I needed to dress up for a fashionable party.

And one of the best, I prepared a Hogwarts party in Milan, and though I was afraid I'd be late for it I did manage to arrive. And Lupin was there too, looking like David Thewlis without the moustache, very very handsome - maybe the teenage Lupin. He irradiated human warmth, it was enough to touch his hand or get close to him to feel it. He was so warm and kind that he went around holding hands with two girls but it was obvious there was nothing malicious in it. Of course, after finishing OOTP, I had dreamed twice that Sirius was still alive.

And... not a bad time for handsome men in my dreams... after seeing "Dreamcatcher" I dreamed I was helping Jonesy (Damian Lewis) up a ladder with his books and worried that he would fall with his bad hip; but I'd be there to catch him in my arms! I'm sure the title of the movie did not refer to this...

That's all for now... I sort of catched up with dreams, I won't fall behind again.
