Dreams: mostly Set, some turtles

[kiya]

I don't remember precisely what the context was on it, except: it was dark, sort of the semi-urban bits of forested area: major roads with development along them cutting through the sort of open woodland that the area spawns eventually if left to its own nonsense for fifty years and maybe burned occasionally. It was dangerous, with some of the feel of stealthy-action-movie danger, but at the same time there was a crystalline clarity over it -- not that the risk was not real, but that it was something that could be floated over and avoided.

There was a structure vaguely resembling a radio tower (metal, roughly square) in the center of a major road -- ladders on two sides, some great distance up the ladders swap to the other two sides and one has to navigate the transition over the open space where there isn't much to hold onto at one of those "It's not the plummeting that I'm worried about, it's the sharp stop at the end" sorts of heights. I don't remember why I needed to climb the tower. It was Part Of The Test.

Somewhere later, there was working through the open woodland, not quite running, and someone grabbed my arms (right wrist, left elbow) from behind so sharply that it nearly woke me up -- it certainly jolted me out of the deep sleep something fierce, into a light doze of a dream. And there was recognition in it, in with the jolt of raw terror, the, 'This is Set', and then also the 'Are you sure?' And I twisted around to see the dark figure, and it grinned at me. And then there was a sort of morph -- not that He shapeshifted so much as he always was both humanform and Typhonian beast, and he flicked His ears and pointed somewhere ahead in the forest ...

And the thing is, right there I completely lost track of the thread of the dream and lost it into something about taking care of box turtles.

He's probably laughing at me.

No kidding.

"Wait, shit, power blip, I missed that bit! ... augh!"

"... maybe I'll catch it in reruns?"
