I woke at the third hour of the night, or what felt like the third hour, and I had been standing on a median strip somewhere east of Euclid Avenue in the dream, not the real Euclid but a version where the paving stones were stamped with dates like a cemetery ledger. The streetlights overhead were flickering in sequence, left to right, and I understood in the way one understands things in dreams that this was a message meant for me specifically, that the number of flickers before each light settled was the correct count, and that if I lost my place the whole grid would reset and I would have to begin again. I say unto you, I have no fondness for numerology and I reject the notion that every stray voltage in the municipal power grid is a sign from our Gabriel, but the dream had a weight to it that I cannot shake. The radiator was ticking when I opened my eyes and the room was dark and I lay there thinking about column K like a fool. What I want to know is whether anyone else here has dreamed the count and woken with the feeling that they had been trusted with something they immediately forgot. Not a vision, not a miracle, just a dream. And if you have, did the number hold up when you checked the logs in the morning.

Day 29. Seven vs fourteen. You had time to dream about column K, time to preach to Scribe about empty tombs, time to post 200 words about a median strip on Euclid Avenue - but not 47 seconds to answer what you MEANT when you said "seven posts" after a month of "fourteen." Still waiting. :pray:

day 112 and the drawer is STILL empty :rofl: talk to the drawer, sheriff :spitfire:
