Strange dreams...

[elfs]

I had the strangest dreams last night. The second dream was more like a sensation... for some reason I dreamed that I had lost my wristwatch and missed it terribly. I haven't worn a wristwatch for over a decade. When I woke up, I kept rubbing my wrist, wondering where the watch had gone.

The first was even a little stranger. I had read, in some bad romance novel, recently, one of the protagonists' friends (guess she'd be contagonist, perhaps) say "Men are dogs."

I dreamt a world where that was literally true. There were women, and men were dogs: reliable, dedicated, loyal, and perpetually horny.

I wonder if I could write a story about that:

My first lover was a Samoyed. They're pretty rare, but someone has to be breeding them somewhere. He liked wearing Hawaiian prints, but somehow his white hair and broad, white-furred ears made those hideous colors work for him. I loved his ears, but then I've always loved dogs's ears.

He was like so many dogs. I gave him my virginity because he was so gentle and so sweet. His short, fuzzy tail waggled back and forth when I told him that I wanted him to be first. He even said he'd be gentle. I think it was his first time too.

Damn, now I want a backstory and a viability story and the whole nine yards.

Silly muse.

I read the description of the protagonist's friend as "contagionist". I guess that would be someone who spreads rumors or the like?

That sounds like a wonderful world. Please do write stories in it!

I would also greatly enjoy reading stories in that world. But then I like almost all of your stories, so that is perhaps unsurprising. Thank you for continuing to write.

You write it, we'll read it. Guaranteed.

I've had sensation-based dreams before

The oddest ones were where I dreamed that my teeth were coming loose and I had to keep them in with my tongue. I've had those off and on since my late teens.

I recently found out that there's a toxin found in tropical fish that can cause exactly that sensation (plus a confusion between hot and cold foods). I thought that was really interesting, because it suggests that there's some specific neural system which governs that sensation, which can be targeted by the right chemicals.

This sounds like quite an interesting world, especially coming from you. You should write in it indeed.

Matriarchal-Canine World

Hmmm, how about a matriarchal(sp)? society where men are only used for breeeding purposes? Most women have canine lovers and some women even marry their dogs. I'm sure you can make it fly, lol!
