Fandom dreams.

[pauraque_bk]

Last night I dreamed I was reading book 6. I have a feeling this isn't the first time I've dreamed this, but this is the first time I've remembered any details.

There was a creature introduced called... a Hezom, or Bezom, something like that. It could change its shape into any animal at will, and was sort of pastel-colored. Some nefarious character in the book was keeping one as a sex slave.

Certain words in the text were different colors. Not in any pattern I can remember, just random words. Every ten words or so, a word would be pink. More occasionally, a word would be peach-colored.

About halfway through the book, the plot drifted off to follow a character who was trying to start a pickup basketball game with two of his friends and three Australian aborigines.

I do not know who the half-blood prince was.

It's not at all unusual for me to have fandom-related dreams. Sometimes about me doing something fannish, sometimes with fandom-related characters involved in the plot. How about you? Come, let us gaze into the fannish subconscious... *beckons*

The week they announced the release date for OotP, I dreamed that the devil offered me the galleys-- but the condition for keeping my soul was that I couldn't speak about the book, to anyone, until June 21.

I said no. I knew it would be impossible, and not actually that much fun.

This is the only time I have ever dreamt about being tempted by Satan.

Good one! Ah, Satan. He knows how it is.

I think at OotP-advent, I wasn't invested enough yet to dream about it.
