Odd dream

I had an odd set of dreams last night. They shifted from one thing to another as dreams do.

It's the last couple of sequences that were unusual. I'll skip a lot of irrelevant details, but I was a disembodied observer watching a woman and her young son trying to escape from somewhere by sneaking thru irrigation channels. At one point a would be attacker is dissuaded when the boy starts fighting (ineffectually) and crying out "you leave my mother alone". He's given a doll by the man and they are let go.

Later, it has shifted a bit. It's now the boy and his *sister* escaping. and I'm the sister. I'm in my teens and he's preteen (but older than in the earlier bit). I didn't especially notice anything female about me, except for *knowing* that *I* was his sister.

Odd. I can't recall ever being female in a dream before. Though now that I think about it there was an earlier sequence in the same set of dreams where I was either a female or at least she was the character I was "following" (not sure if I was a disembodied viewpoint in that part or not).

We get spam...

For your viewing pleasure(?) The subject lines of my last three days worth of spam.
I've stripped various garbage intended to defeat pattern matching, and replaced the various names and email addresses. And stripped most of the duplicates.

Oh yes, this is just the ones in *English*...
