Death dreams, huh. I had a dream about being dead the night before. It's interesting timing: last night and today are part of the festival of Samhuin, the Celtic New Year, which was a death-related festival. The day between the years when the veil between worlds was thinnest. Also, historically, the time when you went out and killed all your surplus livestock so that you had plenty of stored food for winter and not too many animals to try and keep alive in the dark months. This doesn't apply quite so much in Australia, but it's still the time when you begin to notice the darkness settling on you. For me it's the time of year when it's dark by the time I get home from work, so if I want sun I have to steal it from work time.
