this following a dream where I was being INCREDIBLY ANGSTY (because my emotions are always super-amplified in dreams) about not getting the kind of attention I wanted from someone, and in the dream I was complaining that I felt weirdly tired and dreamlike, and I was worried that I'd hurt myself or something because of it, and then woke up a bit more and realized I had that dreamlike feeling BECAUSE I WAS IN FACT DREAMING.
so I gave the dream a happy ending where I drove off in a convertible with a guardian angel-dog-wolf and laughed at the person I'd been angsting about as they suffered a humorous downfall because of their actions. and then woke up trying to come up with a name for the angel-dog-wolf. I got as far as "Lux-something-Latin-maybe?"
