I had a very Connie-Willis-esque dream this morning, which makes sense given that her "All Clear" has been my bedtime reading lately. "All Clear" is the second half of her novel begun with "Blackout", and it concerns several characters who are running around dealing with the situation they're in, namely, being time traveling historians stuck in London during the Blitz. Fortunately, in my dream I wasn't in the Blitz, but the dream started with me in San Francisco. My cell phone rang, and it was from a company I interviewed with last month, who said they're still interested in me. This dream call had a couple of people telling me how much they'd enjoyed meeting me, then the VP of the department I'd been interviewing for got on the line and said he was going to offer me a job. Then my cell phone died. When I was in San Francisco. So the rest of the dream was me trying to get home, in a dream kind of way, not a sensible way. At some point I got a phone, but I spoke to someone at another company (not one with a match in the real world, unfortunately) who was going to offer me a job, too. I woke up before I got any closure on either call, though I did run around a train station that bore no relationship to any Caltrain or BART station I've ever been in. I still hope I get that phone call for real, though.

I used to get dreams like that, but now I think I don't dream at all any more. At least I don't remember them. I sleep really well though. That is, except for when the dogs get me up to go outside.

It sounds like yours was a really fine dream. Maybe it's an omen. Connie Wills is one of my favorite authors. Because I always research when I read a story like that, I learned a lot about what the British went through. It made me very sympathetic with them.

I hope that you get that phone call for real, too, but that your phone behaves for it.
