The Places in My Dreams
The world within, the world of my dreams, is similar to the one I walk through every day. But it is different.
The streets bend strangely. The rooms open where they should not. The people and places are often indifferent to me, and sometimes, they are even antagonistic.
They are not merely people and places. They are representations of emotions I have not yet worked through from the previous day. Sixteen waking hours are not enough to fully grasp all that I have experienced, endured, feared, desired, regretted, or misunderstood.
And so, in the night, these things come alive.
They take on faces. They become houses, roads, crowds, locked doors, ruined landscapes, familiar rooms made unfamiliar. They guide me through the shadow lands—not always kindly, but truthfully. They show me what I could not see while awake.
My dreams are not escapes from the day.
They are the day returning in another form, asking to be understood.Some nights I find myself back in places I have never been, and yet they feel older than memory. A school that was never my school. A church with hallways that keep multiplying. A childhood home rearranged by grief. A city I know by instinct, though no map has ever held it.

In these places, I am often trying to get somewhere.
I am late. I am lost. I am looking for someone. I am trying to explain myself to people who will not listen. I am searching for a room, a door, a vehicle, a path, a way home. Sometimes I am carrying something fragile. Sometimes I have forgotten what I was supposed to carry. Sometimes I am responsible for a task I do not understand, surrounded by people who seem to know the rules but refuse to tell me.
This is the cruelty of the dream world: everyone else seems initiated.
They move through the strange landscape as if it is ordinary. They know which hallway leads out, which road is safe, which bus to board, which door not to open. I am the stranger in a world that somehow belongs to me. I am the dreamer, and yet I am not in control.
Perhaps this is why the places feel antagonistic. They do not hate me. They are simply unwilling to flatter me. They will not pretend I am finished with what I have not faced. They will not comfort me with easy explanations. They turn my emotions into architecture and ask me to walk through them.
Fear becomes a narrow bridge.
Regret becomes a house with too many locked rooms.
Anger becomes a storm on the edge of town.
Shame becomes a crowd that sees me before I am ready to be seen.
Grief becomes a road that always returns to the same place.
And longing—longing becomes a light in a window I can never quite reach.
I wake from these dreams with the feeling that I have traveled farther than my body could have gone. I have crossed cities, fields, stairways, basements, sanctuaries, ruins, and train stations. I have spoken with the dead and avoided the living. I have been judged by strangers and ignored by friends. I have wandered through the unfinished weather of my own soul.
Then morning comes, and the ordinary world returns.
The walls are where I left them. The floor is solid. The dog needs to go out. The coffee waits. The phone glows with its small demands. The day begins again, pretending to be separate from the night.
But I know better.
The dream has left its residue. A feeling follows me, sometimes faint, sometimes heavy. A hallway from the dream lingers inside the hallway of the house. A face from the night appears behind the face of someone I know. A mood clings to the morning like fog.
The shadow lands do not vanish when I wake.
They retreat.
They wait beneath the visible world, beneath errands and conversations, beneath sermons and chores, beneath the version of myself that knows how to answer when someone asks, “How are you?”
I say, “I’m fine.”
But somewhere beneath that answer, an entire city is still burning, or flooding, or rebuilding itself in the dark. -

Debra Winger more than holds her own next to Sir Anthony Hopkins in this eminently watchable tearjerker from Sir Dickie Attenborough.

Here I was, minding my own business by killing the elites in the Theatre of Pain for the 250-Anima-daily, when suddenly something purple dropped.
I didn't even knew this mount was supposed to drop from those!
I love it. Fits my style (and pet!) perfectly.

It took me until the end of the expansion after Shadowlands to finally get around to finish the Convenant-questline to get my Paladin the slutty little Kyrian-outfit.
I regret nothing.
I should do the missing two Convenant-stories as well.

I enjoyed, maybe a bit warily, this thoughtful book, #Shadowlands, by Matthew Green: the “forgotten history of Britain's lost cities, ghost towns and vanished villages." Looking at our past makes us contemplate our possible futures. #reading #books

Bellissimo incipit con un brano notevole (nell'ormai lontano #2004) dei #GlassHammer.
Un gruppo che IMHO ha avuto una produzione molto ondivaga come qualità, ma alcuni pezzi sono davvero degni di nota e non possono mancare nel carniere del bravo cacciatore di #prog 😉

Xogo de rol: The #Troubleshooters (#Shadowlands). Recomendo moito! Gustoume, pero máis me gustou a mecánica de Puntos de Historia (sobre todo as Complicacións). Estrañamente, é unha mecánica que xa vira antes noutros xogos (Fate), pero neste foi distinto. Teño que pensar por que. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Found this in my Facebook memories today. As someone who has played a #nightelf and #druid in #warcraft for 17? years now (omg that long!) seeing Ysera made my heart sing. When she died, I admit I cried, literally bawled my eyes out at my computer. I couldn’t continue #shadowlands after I hit max level because it felt so hollow. In the new expansion, I feel her absence. You may jest about being upset by lore, or a game, but dedicate over a decade to it and see if you don’t have some emotion.

Not sure if this is a hot take but I really like #dragonflight. I wasn’t so keen on #shadowlands tbh.

Venimos de #Shadowlands, que si bien tiene sus más y sus menos (personalmente, prometía más de lo que llegó a ser), su lore es denso y la historia compleja. En #Dragonflight el lore es (aparentemente) más sencillo y fácil de digerir, lo cual se agradece.

@Belghast I bounce back and forth as well. When I started #transition I totally dropped it. I came back near the end of #BfA which I really liked. #ShadowLands not so much. #DragonFlight I'm enjoying so far.

I've built up quite a few Sandworn relics over the course of S3 & S4 of #Shadowlands in #Warcraft, even with sending them to alts for gear, I still have 4,598 left.
Turned those in 28x antecedent drapes... which were vendored for 1,653g
Had 118x relics left over. -

Every time the NPCs in Revendreth refer to my character as “Maw Walker” I hear “mallwalker” and it makes me giggle to think that such a silly thing is being said in such a serious place. 🧛🏻♂️

@andyn @rob #Shadowlands is already free, and is in the base package now.
#Dragonflight launches in just under 1 week now, and I can't wait :D

Lastly, from #WorldOfWarcraft as well, my new potential main for #Dragonflight, Zenheart! I decided to give Monk a chance after all these years towards the end of #Shadowlands, and it's won me over.
