i think my dreamcatcher needs a tune-up. the details are already starting to fade, but here goes. me and a group of 4 other wizards are making our way to this large forboding castle in the middle of the nite. we’re all wielding our wands (mine’s duct-taped with silver and tinfoil b/c its aim is off??). theres apparently a crazy ghoul named gaz running loose around the place, and everybody is afraid to go back into the castle until its gone. i suppose we’re wizard ghostbusters. so after we head to the wrong forboding castle (theres apparently 2 next to each other), we head to the right one. we’re approaching it and i point out that gaz is holed up in the top-most portion of the castle, a mini-castle protruding from the top of a spiral tower at the northwest corner of the main castle. its pretty creepy looking…as far as forboding castles go. as we get to the entrance, we have a discussion about how to deal with the ghoul. one of the other wizards (bob?) says that ghouls are like dementors, and that we’ll need a patronus spell to counter them. like those specific potter references? everybody begins to practice their patronus spells as we enter, and i realize that ive forgotten how to cast my patronus. crap. so silver ducks, piggies, and other odd farm animals are flying left and right from the wizards’ wands, and we eventually reach the stairs leading to the tower. i attempt one last time to cast patronus….my wand goes nuts, and i wake up. wtf?
a few m3ntal notes as i was laying in bed holding my non-existent duct-taped wand. id specifically remembered the castle from another dream…but i only recalled this while in the dream. this has happened alot of times before…where while im in a dream, ill recall that id seen a certain house, or location, etc before from a past dream. not from the real world, mind u…but specifically “within the collective dream world” in a sense. but i wouldnt be able to remember what specifically (or at least details of such) after ive woken up….as if the memories were locked specifically within my subconscious, separated from my conscious memory. odd. also, while i was in this particular dream, all the wizarding and potter-specific references and the like seemed common-place. as in, while in the dream, i didnt go “like in potter…lets use the patronus spell.” nope…it jus seemed normal. the mind is too weird. on the even odder note…i cant believe i actually remembered the name of the ghoul as gaz.
