I had a very odd dream last night. A group of kids went to this house to play a zombie RPG. I’m not exactly sure what happened after that, but some of them went off and really did turn into zombies. It was like they mummified in a matter of minutes. Then they got Really hungry. At first it was just regular food… chips, soda, etc, whatever they could find. Then one of them started chewing on its lips and liked it, I guess. She started going after the non-zombie players and the other zombies followed suit. One of the non-zombie players new some protective sigils and painted them all over a room which kept the zombies out. For a long time she was in the room alone, with only a plate of four magic hot-cross buns which never diminished no matter how many were eaten and a picture of juice that also replenished itself magically. (I kid you not! lol)
She couldn’t go out of the room because the zombies would wake up and attack her, so she stayed in the room. Years upon years passed, but she didn’t age. Then another group of people found the house and the zombies woke up, chasing them and killing some until they found the “safe” room.
So the people holed up in the room with the woman. They were very mystified by the muffins and never ending juice, but ate them anyway because they were hungry. heh Some of the people were determined to get out and started planning how they could do it. Then the zombies started coming through the walls because all the sigils had disappeared for some reason, and the woman had to face off against some mysterious “zombie-master” who may have originally been the owner of the house or the person who came up with the game. I’m not sure on that point, nor what happened after that- whether she won or he did. But basically he told her that he could have gotten into the room at any time, but didn’t think she was worth it until she had more people there with her for his zombies.

HGDKS, you asked where I get my quizzes… I wish I could say there was just one site, but in fact, I get them from all over the web. Many of them come to me through my email lists or newsgroups and some I encounter while I’m researching a newsletter.
Speaking of the newsletter, as promised, the subject for this week’s Newsletter is spirit animals. You can learn more about the history of spirit animals in this week’s article and then use this week’s “craft” to discover and interact with your own. All of this week’s jokes are animal related, and the Sites of Interest will hopefully provide you with some new insights on the subject.

:Cthulhu: I always find your dreams interesting because they are so rich with symbolism. Mine are, too. :Seeall:
Hmmm Maybe shouldf have given the Buns to the Zombies thus the old quote “feed thine enemies” also why the “angry eyes” at the start of your newsletter?
:Astral: u’ve such interesting n vivid dreams… mine are more blurs of things i must remember or things that are to come.. but theyve no true meaning…
:YinYang: “rich with symbolism” to quote katytwobirds: is right! That dream is so archetypal…it IS an archetype! Zombies/people who are asleep in this world…certain “sigils” to “keep out bad”=religion…hot cross buns is this whole religious thing too, plus connected in strange ways, if you believe/read some conspiracy stuff; to a whole bunch of other things. (-I wait till I know the truth for myself-I believe both and neither). I know you had the dream, but if you had made this up; it is just as amazing. You try to come up with and write stuff like that, ya know? Everything seems to point to archetypes to me…so the story may seem the same: good vs. evil-but you add that difference that only comes from you being you. And, that is of course true for and of everyone. I am not so in tune with my dreams. It has only been recently, that I have understood more clearly what sleep and dreaming is; on a non-material level. :Astral: Collective unconscious and all that~I have to say that way more often than not, I do not enjoy my dreams and many times they have been unpleasant to what I concider a nightmare. One may fear this and another that. Mine is that, lol. I have not bothered with this subject although I knew it was there. After all of that: your dream was very interesting.
Peace and Blessings
I had a dream about zombies recently too. It was actually pretty scary. I wonder if I’ve been watching too much Buffy! :Whatever:
