I am actually feeling bizarrely awful about this (I'm in the habit of exaggerating whenever I'm telling a story that shouldn't have major consequences, but it feels wrong on a forum about truthseeking and I feel guilty for getting karma for it).

My statement about lovecraftian dreams is technically true but not nearly as interesting as I made it sound. I didn't actually have dreams about the world ending in tentacles or anything. I did wake up in the middle of the night and feel compelled to write a song entitled "Mindspace is deep and wide" that briefly features alien gods, but there was not actually a cool dream preceding it, and while I think I had vaguely interesting dreams relating to the solstice that month, I can't recall them now.

I HAVE had extremely powerful dreams that were clearly inspired by my narrative influences at the time, so the important point still stands.
