Dreams

Two dreams I had last night; 1) When I opened the exam paper, the first question was "Compile a mix-CD for one of the Roman consuls we have studied. Explain your song choice". 2) I discovered an arcane Roman ritual which still exists amongst Italian youth today. During the days of the Republic, young boys were encouraged too enter a deep meditative trance, whereupon they imagined themselves as great soldiers. This ritual was intended to instill a driving motivation deep in the subconscious. I discovered that it is still done today, except Italian boys simpply use Photoshop to create an image of themselves as soldiers. Further to this, I thought I heard someone repeatedly calling out "Jugera!" (which is a Roman measurement of land, equal to about 1.25 acres). Then I suddenly awoke, realising that our cat was coughing up a furr-ball on the couch, and that it was she who was calling out "Jugera!" (which is kind of onomatopoeic for the sound she makes when she coughs up a furr-ball).
