Last night's dreams were a bit odd and probably prompted by a case of overall itchiness due to dry skin combined with finishing a story about changelings in an anthology of fairy novellas I bought in the airport. I dreamed that I was in a park or something with a lot of people and there was a huge 3-foot wide column of ants marching along. And out of pique I decided to destroy their nest, so I somehow obtained a shovel and wheelbarrow, and was digging it up to find and kill the queen only to discover that the queen was a human girl who had been abandoned as a baby and raised by ants. Which wasn't bad at all, because she could talk to and understand me, and could command the ants. And then the dream got more fragmented - something about filling a bathtub in a room full of books and plants, and then a room where a meeting was being held about going and doing something (presumably fighting crime?), and the people in the room were mostly unfamiliar Arrancar from Bleach, plus the Thing from the Fantastic Four.
