Do dreams mean anything to you? Much of the time, at least for those I can recall, my dreams incorporate people and events or situations that are currently occupying the conscious mind. Sometimes they include things that seem to have no obvious connection to anything within my day to day life, recent TV shows or books I have read, etc. Sometimes it is just an odd word that I recall. Like the time I woke up with the word "widdershins" in my head. Not a word I casually throw around in conversation. Not, in fact, a word I could recall having ever heard before. So I looked it up and wrote it down as a future story line or topic. It could go really well in the context of a political observation given its meaning: To go in a left-hand, contrary or opposite direction.
