Perna, yes, that is exactly the sort of thing I am talking about! (((hugs))) I love how your key reminds you of your 19th century haven. BTW, what do you think the Aptosaurus meant in your dream?

I've forgotten a lot of the dream, which is unfortunate, because I still have a faint feeling of sadness and loss when I think of it.

I use a haiku for this purpose, and use the traditional form in intent but not necessarily with the perfect meter. I find that having to distill the dream down to 3 lines makes me really get at its essence and so just reading the poem later can bring the whole thing back to me. I love poetry that way.
