Re: The dream thread
I was writing a book where the characters were on a boat. I was going to write about a sea serpent that came up out of the water, and both the boat and the serpent would sink. The characters would then be swimming in the water, and the serpent would rise up and introduce himself, and he would have a...

Re: The dream thread
I had a dream involving a girl who thought she was just a character in a novel trilogy. She was flying through the air. That's all I can remember.
Then I dreamed that I was going to get married, but I got cold feet and ran away.

Part of a long dream that I can't remember all of... We had a lot of guests at our house, and we also had some bombs, which looked like simple sparks. There were three types of bombs, and my mom accidentally left one of the most powerful type sitting out in the yard. I realized it would cause the wh...

There was a commercial for a device for writing your will. The commercial bragged about it being very portable, but it looked rather bulky. It showed a woman carrying and using it on the subway and in the grocery store.

Re: The dream thread
Somebody had a conworld which was set on a second moon of Earth, and the continents were the same as Earth's, but narrower. This meant that some continents which nearly touch on Earth were not touching on the conworld. For example, as we all know, the north part of Australia touches the south coast ...

I think the dream was long and complicated, but the only part I remember was going into a patch of woods at night with four or five other people, and we tied our hands to each other's hands so we wouldn't get separated. We were (I think) trying to solve a crime, but the suspect had gone into a hospi...

• Kensiu puts Germanic languages to shame: it distinguishes six levels of height (seven if the diphthong /ie/ is included), and also has a retroflexed vowel /ɚ/. It doesn't appear to actually distinguish six levels: front vowels are /i ɪ e̝ e ɛ/ (five), central /ɯ ɚ ə ʌ a/ (five), back /u o̝ o ɔ/ (...
