I'd rather sleep well, but if I can't, I'd at least like something to show for it, like interesting dreams. Last night I got those. There were some good sex dreams I can no longer remember because I was concentrating on recalling other things, such as a book I was leafing through that seemed to be a Catalan answer to Lord of the Rings. The midsection was stuffed with a sheaf of full-colour maps, some of which showed parts of Middle Earth. Others we clearly of our world, notably a map of the North American continent which showed a large irregular territory called "Spirit" centred roughly on St Louis.

Maybe I should've jotted down some of the other toponyms because the only one I can still recall is the Egyptian-looking "Seneb". I made a mental note to look up "neb" when I woke up to see what the name might decompose to. It means (as I should've remembered) "lord". Sen is "son", so seneb could plausibly be regarded as a contraction of sen neb "lord's son", but it's actual attested meaning is "health" or "healthy". It's also, much to my delight, the name of a court official during the time of the Pharaoh Djedefre, successor to Cheops, one of the most high-ranking dwarfs in Ancient Egypt.
