And then I dreamed that books were commonly translated from and into Etruscan, which I was learning from a bilingual collection of folktales. I hope this doesn't mean I'm due some kind of conventional wish-fulfillment dream, just for balance. There really aren't any actors I want to sleep with, and if I won the lottery, I'd mostly use it for practical things.

Wonderful concept, but I can imagine how heartbreaking it would feel to wake up from that dream and know it not so.

Hmm... I suppose that means I've never had a conventional wish-fulfillment dream. Not sure I'd want one, either.

I hope your hopes are fulfilled.

I guess that's what Ostia Naye is for . . .

True, I suppose. And, although I regret your heartbreak, Ostia Naye is a fascinating place, one I'm grateful to have seen a glimpse of.

Myself, I have to admit that I probably spend far too much time worrying about to what degree a given fiction I might be writing is or isn't a complete piece of wish-fulfillment.
