OK - I'm a relative newcomer to letterboxing. I think my count is
15F, give or take. Sadly, I've exchanged none as of yet. (Though I
hope to increase that number dramatically at the Mercer Meet in
Doylestown on the 28th of June. (shameless plug))

Though I *have* been busy designing up a SIX box series for
placing this summer. I've told my son that I want to us to find
twenty boxes each before placing our first, so as to have a better
understanding on what makes a good box; regarding the quality
of carving, placement, and clues.

Now - I've done the research needed to make my series an
interesting one, with a dramatic narrative that I hope will enmesh
the seekers as they follow the trail of the story. This week I hope
to begin carving two of the stamps, as I've completed the
storyline of the first two locations. Placing the series two at a
time seems a good idea, and I should have all six completed by
the Autumnal Equinox.

Here, I pose a question.

After roughly two months of weekend excursions to find
letterboxes - Periodic forays into the woods to scout new
locations - And hours of pouring over the list, reading of
everyone's else experiences .... Something happened:

I had my first letterbox dream.

It was vivid - and as lucid as any of my most powerful dreams
(that weren't sheet-clutching nightmares) I can remember. It had
a plot - it followed a timeline. The characters had motivations,
and developed as the dream progressed. It even had a suprise
ending!

In fact, the only thing in the dream that bordered on the unreal,
was the fact that it was snowed throughout the course of it; and
we're currently enjoying a 90 degree heat wave here in Philly.

I find myself wanting to modify my series slightly in order to
incorporate some of the twists found in my dream series. If for
no other reason, than to document the dream in some way,
before it fades the way those singular dreams are wont to do.

Has anyone else had a Letterbox Dream that was particulary
unusual?


Zzzzzzzz,
