If the dreams are a gateway to the subconscious, then here's what I learned about mine last night:

  1. It is a little behind the current curve of my fandom life.

  2. It still really, really likes Harry Potter.

  3. But not enough to not periodically morph me into Hermione so I could call Harry/myself an idiot.

  4. It is confused between teenage magic users and thinks that Hogwarts secret passages may be found in Sabrina's airing cupboard (well, my airing cupboard, but I recognise the device when I see it).

  5. It is still utterly convinced that Potter witches fly their brooms sidesaddle, despite years of trying to square the canon with my mental image.

  6. It's got its own Potter OC, who never makes it into fic but turns up regularly in the relevant dreams.

  7. It is still, without fail, capable of creating a coherent plotline with a maximum of one 'dream' element (in this case, the airing cupboard). Boy, if I'd known I was hardwiring my brain into storytelling this effectively, I'd probably have eased off a bit...

(Srsly. Astride on a broom? Doesn't work! Sidesaddle! SIDESADDLE I SAY!)
