It was just brought to my attention via social media that today is Kiss A Ginger Day.

So, you know, please feel free to discuss.

LUKE & WAVERLY

Okay, say that you were going to have dinner with the guy you're seeing, that you're also married to in another life. And say that this dinner was for his brother's birthday. And say that his brother is probably really nice, but is kind of intimidating because not only is he family and that's big, but he's also, you know, a high ranking government employee. And say that you're pretty sure you might be defining the relationship tonight.

Say all of that is a factor. What would you wear to dinner?

Also, I'm mostly not freaking out about any of this, but I won't turn down any reminders that I'm totally cool and people like me and I have the ability to hold conversation with people without coming off as a weirdo, so I shouldn't dial up to actually freaking out.

Is there going to be a prom king/queen at this prom? Because I was queen for my senior prom and I might have to defend my title. 👸🏾 😈

(And before anyone thinks I'm serious, please know that I am so very kidding.)

XING & WAVERLY

[...] Hey. I saw the anonymous stuff and um.

Xing, this is Waverly. Waves, this is Xing.

I don't know if I should have said something sooner, like as soon as you told me who you were dreaming about, Waverly, but I wasn't sure if it was my place and I didn't want to overstep boundaries or not respect either of your privacy so [...] yeah. I'm sorry if that wasn't the right call.

Anyway. Hi. 👋🏽

Hi, everyone! Another post so soon? Thanks to Naomi's brilliant idea, I'm going to put together a resource accessible to anyone dealing with the Dreams that essentially just lists who is being dreamed of and any other pertinent details you might think need to be included for others to identify that they're at least sharing dreams about the world even if they don't know the name. For example, it might look like:

Leia Organa-Solo - From Alderaan, daughter of Breha and Bail Organa
Han Solo - Made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, from Corellia

Just leave a note here, anonymously or not, letting me know the name of who you are dreaming about and anything else you want to mention. If you want YOUR name attached to it, as well, for shared dreamers to more easily get in touch with you, let me know. Otherwise, I'll attach your Anon ID so that others can filter you anonymously!

This is totally optional, but I hope you'll consider doing it, at least anonymously!

All right, my friends, this one can relate to the Dreams, or just your life here. Commenter's choice! Anonymously, or not anonymously, tell me what song--or songs--is stuck in your head or on repeat on your Spotify playlists. Drop a link, share lyrics, whatever you want. And feel free to provide context, or not. Anything goes. I just want to know what's currently on your soundtrack.

I know I might be in the minority, but I'm not upset that summer break is over. At the risk of sounding like a total nerd, I can put all that summer reading to use in classes.

I'm not sad that we're not back in the dorms this semester, though. Apartment living is really the way to go.

[WAVERLY]

I think I need to just pose a sort of existential question to someone who doesn't have a connection to my dreams, but it's going to sound self-deprecating. That's your warning.

RACHEL

Are you [...] busy?

REMY & MAL

WHY AM I SO GD AWKWARD? WHY CAN'T I JUST TELL THEM? WHY AM I LIKE THIS?

After this weekend, all I want to do is research and map out my garden for next spring. It's probably a good thing I have work or it's all I'd be doing.

LUKE

Hi. I need some big brother shaped wisdom, if you know one with the time.

WAVERLY

Hey, you. How have you been doing? I feel like I haven't been as attentive a friend as I should be.

Time for another anon post, if you're so inclined to jump in. Your responses can, as always, be public or anonymous, whichever makes you most comfortable.

Is there anyone from your other life that you wish was here with you, that you could see and talk to in whatever capacity? Assume for the purpose of this post that your response does not come with the unintended consequence of wishing dreams/memories on another individual. This just piggybacks off of the last post when we talked about things you wish you could say to someone back there, or here.

[ZORA]

I think...I know everything now.

[WAVERLY]

I'm pretty sure I need chocolate chip pancakes.

I'm not really sure how it's almost August already. With the last weeks of summer closing in before another semester, I'm taking suggestions on activities that are a Must Do for this summer that don't include working at Java Chip or reading more articles about general relativity and black holes. Because honestly that's what I've done for most of my summer so far.

To celebrate it being the day AFTER National Sugar Cookie Day... I haven't decorated a single cookie. It's been bliss. 😂

Thank you to everyone who came in and took advantage of the buy one, get one free deal on our cookies. It made all that decorating worth it. I hope you enjoyed your decadent treat as much as I enjoyed making them for you. I took a break today, but I'll be back at it tomorrow.

Any special requests for the weekend?

I feel really odd doing this, but I'm doing it anyway. I've been thinking about this more or less only this for days and even though I'm not sure if I'm making a good or bad decision here, today is one of those days that I feel a lot of things when it comes to family. I feel as though I have to do something, so this is me doing something.

Hi, I'm Rachel Marlow and I'm dreaming about Andromeda Tonks. If that matters to you at all, I just wanted to [...] throw it out there. If you're not ready to talk about it, that's more than okay. I really and truly understand and I don't want anyone to feel like they should talk about this before they're ready. I just wanted people to know, if you ever do feel that way or need some dream version of family, this is me. Hello.

Hi, friends.

It's been a long while since we've done one of these and, though I no longer need the data for my sociology class, I do think they've been very productive in terms of discussion. So here's another anonymous post for you! Again, you can turn on the anon filter and no one will know who you are, or you can just respond as yourself, whether because you're not ready to reveal who you're dreaming about, or whatever the case may be.

Tonight's question is: If you could say something to someone you knew/know in your dream world that you can't say here for whatever reason, what would it be?
