Dream fragments

[kiya]

I don't remember much of this one, but I wanted to write bits down.

There was a game of some sort involved that seemed to be assembling a rather large crocodile with peacock feathers out of tiles, and there was a time limit or some such involved lest all participants be washed away in a Great Flood. The critter was pretty interesting-looking; I'm wondering if it means anything, and may wander around looking for something to make it mean if not.

keshwyn was playing the game, or something, but I have in between getting up and deciding to write these things down forgotten what was going on. (She was not, however, in this dream, a dragon shapeshifted into a baker.)

And there was this piece of jewelry. A net of beads where the beads were so densely woven onto the net that it was nearly armour. Rrrroughly triangular -- it was probably a menat, though it didn't have a backpiece -- big enough to hang down over my breasts (which were, in the dream, significantly more stacked than I come naturally; this was because I had a buffalo in my shirt. It was a dream, okay?), with a sort of fringe of other beads. Many of the beads in the menat were turquoise -- there was a whole band of turquoise cylinders -- and there were other stones there, though I don't recall anything but that it was multicoloured. And it was sort of threaded like lace; there were occasional places that it had gaps in the meshwork, intentional ones, more or less oval or diamond-shaped.

I'm sort of wondering how I would go about making such a thing. It would take me a long time, to say the least, to acquire all the relevant beads and put it together and . . . wow. I wonder what I could use for a backplate.

If a person could find or draw a representation of the kinds of beads, a person might pretty easily get some help finding some, if a person wanted.

A person can really only remember the turquoise cylinders -- there were white beads and maybe clear ones and maybe orange or amber ones and maybe other things too, but it's all in the place where dreams go when they're tired.

A guy might say, though, that if organisation ever happens any help would be most appreciated, with delight in shiny things shared and thus multiplied.
