horrible dream
I “retired” from playing World of Warcraft about two months ago. I did this mostly to free up time for reading and to make family life less stressful. Plus I had promised Tricia I would do so if I could consistently raid with the guild until the next expansion pack. (For you WoW-weenies out there, we cleared T5, Hyjal up to Archimonde, and BT up to Bloodboil.) My account has been canceled, but as I understand it, my character(s) remain sitting in archival storage somewhere, ready to be summoned to duty should I ever start playing again.
Two nights ago, I had this awful dream that my character, Poggrid, had somehow been deleted. There was a new Poggrid on my server, a level 18 dwarf (I don't remember his class). He had no idea how to play his class, no sense of style or decency. It was an affront to my character and I frantically scrambled in vain to fix this travesty.
I related this dream to Tricia. Her only comment was, “When you said `I had an awful dream...' I thought it was going to be something important, like your family was in danger.”
