All of this is reminding me of home. I guess I couldn't have really asked for a better birthday present, and now I'm glad I brought all this flannel here with me.

You ever wake up from a dream and feel like you're Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz? You want to point to people you know (or send a text) and say "You were there" and "You were there" and then end with "There's no place like home".

That's me this morning. I'm really not even sure if these are those dreams that people talk about because they seem so...normal. Except I'm in a smaller town in Maine and I only work exclusively at the diner. The diner and the B&B look a lot different than the ones we have here and there's a lot of townsfolk/friends that I've never met here that I dreamt about. So maybe it's just a regular dream? I have no idea.

But here's the fun of who was in my dream: Emma, Mary Margaret, and Regina. And this really hot sheriff (mrow) and like I said a bunch of background players.

Nothing too interesting happened through most of my dreams last night, but the last one was a little sad. I had a friend named Ashley who was pregnant and apparently has agreed to sell her baby to this guy, Mr. Gold, who basically runs the town. Emma was trying to find her and I was trying to help her get out of town. Not sure what happened in between, but Ashley did end up staying in town and she had the baby and her boyfriend finally pulled his head out of his ass.

Kept me up most of the night. I'm going to call my agent and request mimosas at my shoot this afternoon. That should make me feel better.

In these dreams, have others dreamed about someone they've... met before? Who weren't family members.

True love's kiss is a bitch.

It appears to be a pretty common theme in recent posts on here, these dreams. I have to say, I thought I was going to get away with this round being pretty insignificant, but I guess not. It seems when something goes right in one world, it goes completely wrong in the other. At the very least, I think I'm starting to figure some stuff out.

Silver lining, right?

I'm not sure I'll get used to the ground rocking beneath my feet.

HAPPY MONDAY EVENING! The worst part of your week is almost over! Hooray! Almost Friday!

I'm Ruby Lucas and I help run Granny's Diner and B&B over in Huntington Beach. So please stop on by if you're hungry or you need a place to stay. We'd be happy to assist you. Our food is amazing so make sure you stop by soon to experience it.

Speaking of food, is anyone else excited for Thanksgiving? I just went to the store and picked up some amazing spices for a mulled wine. Mmmm...

My therapist is going on an extended vacation. Maybe it's for the best. I finally blurted out all the fairytale dream stuff, and I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm actually crazy. Hopefully the day improves.

Well shit. It's my birthday today and I had to text my family to tell them not to call me to wish me a Happy Birthday because my voice is gone.

My mother was not pleased at all and I know my father wants to talk about the Red Sox winning the World Series last night. Well, they'll have to wait until this passes and I get my voice back. Fingers crossed it's really soon.

Definitely one of my weirder birthdays.

I have a question about these memories/dreams/whatever they are. Is it common for people from them to be ... Not just dreams or anything themselves? But real? Do you generally find yourselves meeting the people you've dreamt about, I guess, is what I'm asking.

I maybe should have put two-and-two together sooner, but this is the first time I've had these things be more than just blurs to me. I'm just wondering if maybe my actual life is starting to bleed into this, or if it's working the other way around.

Hi there! My name's Mary Margaret. I just joined this network, but I've lived here in Orange County for a few years now. I graduated from The University of California in Fullerton and moved.

So, um, does anyone know if there's a vet in Huntington Beach? I adopted two birds and I would like them to have a full check up to make sure everything is okay.

Thank you so much :) Everyone have a wonderful day~

I checked the calendar today and was amazed to see it's October 11. I knew it was, but it didn't really register to me that there's only eleven or so weeks left of the year. I think the older I get, the faster time passes.

What would happen if we went without pumpkin for a year? Everything is pumpkin... I don't want pumpkin coffee. I want just regular coffee. What is the draw of pumpkin can someone tell me?

I just want to say that my first week here has been great. I wasn't sure how I'd like California, but it's amazing.

I've also had a couple sessions with the specialist. He thinks my problem might be emotional, and so it's fixable, but he's doing hypnosis to try and find the issue. But I don't ever see my past. I mean, it's me, but it's not, but I don't really know how to tell a therapist that I'm some sort of prince in a fairytale land and a coma patient in another.

Strangely enough, it's easier to mention that to all of you than anything else.

So, I'm thinking about adopting a dog since my place seems a little lonely. I've been wanting a dog for a while and now seems like a good time. I was looking at the OC Humane Society and there's too many cute dogs to choose from. I don't think I want a small dog, but the rest seem like they would be about the right size.

So, give me your opinions! You can check the dogs out here. And if there's one you really want to adopt let me know and I'll make sure not to adopt them. It's a win/win here.

Sometimes going out for coffee is worth the trouble. Maybe I should remember to be more social more often and to take advantage of this network, instead of attempting to stay a hermit while not working.

Maybe. Just maybe that would be a good idea.

Hi! I just moved here from New York, and I was told this might be a good place to start getting familiar with everything? I hope it is, anyway.

My name's David Nolan. I used to be working towards joining the NYPD, but I've got this memory issue so I had to leave the academy. Which is why I'm here, to start seeing a specialist about it. I guess there's not much more about me to say, but I really can't wait to settle into everything here. Orange County seems like a great place.
