It's true.

Now that I have unpacked my (admittedly meager) belongings into the (much too large for one person but much better reviewed than the smaller option) flat I've rented out, and considering that I have been gifted a casserole (which seems to be the go-to welcome for America), I've been told that I ought to more properly introduce myself (at least, in such a way that doesn't start off with disbelieving profanity).

If you couldn't tell by the sheer number of parentheticals above, this isn't precisely my strong suit.

My name is Laz. I'm British (and... French and Italian, but raised in the UK), but I'll be living here for the next six months. I'm still working for my firm in the UK while living here, on their business hours, so I expect that I'll become quite well acquainted with the town purveyors of caffeine. Cheers to you, in advance.

And, somewhat inexplicably, I'm dating Laila Khan. What a wonder.

I suppose I should be thankful that a very ambitious idea for the Dreamery's third anniversary has hit me a full four months in advance, so there's at least a chance I could pull it off. 😬😬😬

What are some of your favorite places to travel? Or, if you're not-so-widely-traveled (like me), what are some places you'd love to go?

So. I have news for everyone. And I was going to wait for the dinner with everyone and do one of those like "SURPRISE!" deals, but I have zero patience and our schedules suck.

SURPRISE! 😘

What the hell is this?

Hello, friends! With it being two weeks into 2020, I've been working pretty steadily on my planner and getting all of my exciting dates for the new year sorted out. I like having things to look forward to, especially since I'm packing my last semester of undergrad full of credits, and one of those things I'm looking forward to is this five year anniversary that I will be celebrating in March. Thinking about it has me all full of warm fuzzies and since it's been a while since I did one of these open forum sort of things, now seems like a good time.

So, here's my question! What is your meet cute? AKA how did you meet your partner? Give me all of the heart eyes with your stories, please and thank you.

Lacking vacation time to leave town but looking for a romantic getaway for Valentine's Day? I know everyone's groaning about the candy already being out, but it's not too early to plan something romantic. Cozy Cottage B&B has availability for the night of Valentine's day and through the weekend! We have add-on Valentine's day packages that include chocolates, flowers of your choice, champagne or wine, your room decorated... We offer breakfast in bed and total seclusion, and our walls are thick enough that you won't disturb anyone else. 😏

No need to leave town when romance is right here! Book ASAP for best rates 😘🥰

FRIENDS AND FAM

FILTERED TO KHANS & FRIENDS & LYON FAMILY

I did something kind of rash and maybe stupid but very me and now I need help please.

I bought a plane ticket. For tonight. Red eye to London. Lucy, I'm going to woo your cousin.

Attempt. I might come back with just a few pictures of me in front of Big Ben instead and I know this phrase is out of date but fuck it - YOLO, right?



Only that I'm an adult with responsibilities and I need some help for people to make sure the Cottage doesn't burn down. I have two employees but they can't be here all the time and I could use some coverage so I can go be a romantic idiot??? I'll pay you! Even if you're related to me! I fly back in the middle of the night on the 29/30th because I couldn't afford anything else.

Based on the conversation we had on here recently, I compiled a list of everyone who is Dreaming--both public and anonymously. Out of respect for your interests, I only included those who specifically commented to be included on the list. In addition to compiling the list, I have also put together a semi-brief document for those who have questions about these Dreams since we continue to have a lot of newcomers who are otherwise unprepared for when these Dreams hit...or are just super confused by at the talk of Dreams on this network.

The resource (which includes the list of Dreamers) can be found here.

I wanted to go ahead an open this post up, as well, for anyone who wants to add their User ID (public or anonymous) to this list, or potentially update their information on the list. I only included Sources that have been discussed publicly on this network, regardless of whether or not I was familiar with a Source existing here. So for anyone listed as Not Disclosed, it is entirely up to you as to whether or not you want that "spoiled" for you.

Which also raises another question which I would like to answer on the list. If you are on this list, do you want a) others to reach out to you and/or b) others to give you information about your Source if they know it? Please answer below, if you can or want to!
