Two weeks ago, this quote put the fear into me:

a dream (or nightmare?) in which an academic treatise comes to life, the terms of its discussion assuming physical form in the strange logic of the dream.
-Kathryn L. Lynch, "The Book of the Duchess as a philosophical vision: the argument of form", Genre 21, 279-305 (292)

I'm happy to say, I was not chased through my dreams by reality and fiction, or anything else from a Chaucerian-dream vision.

To make up for it, though, I spent last night dreaming about AElfrician chastity. Yes, that's right. Other people have interesting sex dreams, I dream about AElfrician chastity.

You make me almost want to be a medievalist, it seems like as much deranged fun as anthropology. :)

i've heard that ANTH is pretty crazy... but i maintain we're weirder :P
