Yes, you. The SDMB poster who goes by **Baker**. I dreamt about you last night (kind of). Now, I’ve never met **Baker** in person. I know from her posts that she lives and works relatively near to me (20 miles or less). My mother sometimes works very close to her—let’s call it less than 20 blocks, to protect the privacy of those involved. I had a dream last night where I was talking to someone at my mother’s work. At the end of the conversation, he mentioned that he was in need of a sweet—that he wanted a really good confection before he hit the road to wherever he was going (I couldn’t tell you if you asked). I told him that there was an incredible **baker** at the local library, and that it was very close. All he had to do was go X blocks in one direction, turn, and go Y blocks in another direction. That’s it. That’s all. But still, I dreamt of an SDMB poster. One I’ve never met. My subconscious brain compiled what I knew of another poster and then presented its results to my dreaming brain, which took that information and folded it into a narrative. I may need a break from this place… What say you? Anyone else dream of people/personas here on the Dope you’ve never met? Or are my dreams just getting really weird? ---

This sounds ominous, that you should be having a dream about the _Deathmistress_. I might be very nervous (except, I know that my dreams are never prophetic, only anti-prophetic at best). ---

> [@For You](#): > > This sounds ominous, that you should be having a dream about the _Deathmistress_. I might be very nervous (except, I know that my dreams are never prophetic, only anti-prophetic at best). Well, it wasn’t _about_ her in any sense. Oh no… I just directed someone towards the _Deathmistress_! Oh! Foul fortune! I am a murderer! ---

Do you have any recollection of doing a mind meld with a young person of the opposite type, when you were 7 years old? Sounds like you may have a _pon farr_ coming on! ---

I’ve also had an indirect dream about Baker and it was in her Deathmistress role. I dreamed I was watching the news and they reported Hugh Hefner had died. And I wanted to go online to check if I had him on my current deathpool list. ---

I had a dream about \*\*curlcoat \*\*once…well, it wasn’t ‘about’ her but she popped up for some reason. It was just an ordinary dream-setting, and I recognised her physically, even though I have no idea what she looks like IRL. Go figure. 😉 ---

Oh my goodness, someone recommended our cafe! Even if it was in a dream. **azraiel** , can you tell me by PM where your mom works? If she ever comes in for a meal or snack I could say hello. And you, are you in that college town? (Given the distance you mentioned.) I promise not to use my powers as DeathMistress against a fellow Doper. What would be the point? I wouldn’t get points. ---

I once dreamed that I was actually ‘talking’ with some of the posters here. We were all at a pub, and we were having a really fascinating discussion about something that I can’t recall. My conclusion was that I spend much too much time on this board. And yet, here I am, on a Monday morning when I have work to do. 😉 ---

And I wanted to go online to check if I had him on my current deathpool list. You realize, of course, that if Hef actually dies within, say, the next ten days or so, you will have had _a prophetic dream_. And then the king summons you, or something.
