Why won't you go near the place? I've gotta ask--even I, poor starving student
type that I am, had to go in, if only to sully it with my unwashed presence! :)

My latest Lego dream was just a few months ago. I was in Circus World--remember
them?--and found Blacktron I sets that never existed, including a very nice ship
that I've been trying to build ever since (and in fact, I can see it--even draw
it--now). However, it wasn't nearly as interactively detailed as what you
described there--it was pretty much just me walking around, getting sets, checking
them out, dreaming of ways (dreaming in a dream--is that possible?) to use my
extant pieces to augment what was in the box. I definitely didn't get any price
data! I think this is a "Left Brain Dream Alert" for Ed.

I've never remembered any that vividly. I've never remembered purchase
decisions, numbers, or any of that stuff. Maybe this is a suppressed childhood
trauma ("I didn't have enough Castle when I was younger")?

I certainly hope the dreaming didn't goad you into the drinking! Although I can
definitely sympathize--I was pretty darn disappointed when I got up. Thank
goodness for a handy sketch pad!

why I couldn't just have dreams about cheerleaders and whipped cream like "normal"
guys...sigh.)
