Preface to a Dream, Part III

But that’s quite enough of my personal story. Let me get down to business and tell you what this is all about.

This is essentially a dream diary with the added factor of cheese. Updates will come in two parts. The first will consist of the type of cheese I intend to consume and a description of its flavour, its uses, how much I like it, and (if I can be bothered to bore you) its history, place of origin and so on. In order to prove (or at least to go towards convincing you) that I’m not just picking out the names of random cheeses, pretending I’ve eaten them and then making some dream up to write about, I will also post a photograph of myself, wearing the Vestments of the Eldritch Curd and holding whatever cheese it is I intend to eat, like so:



The second part will consist of a recounting of the dream I had the night after eating the cheese, if any, along with my thoughts on it and any correlations I may be able to draw between the type of cheese and the type of dream.

The updates will not be daily, as by and large it is difficult for me to buy cheese in small portions. If I go out and buy a big wedge every day then I’m not going to be able to eat it all and it’ll just go to waste, which will greatly displease the Cheese Sprites, and may incite them to strip me of my enchanted clothing. And then I’ll be naked. We cannot have that.

Therefore, new content will come as and when I can acquire the cheese I need, although I will aim for a once-a-week schedule. This will also give previous cheeses plenty of time to work their way out of my system, thereby preventing any lingering effects from interfering with the results.

I fully intend to get this kicked off as soon as possible, so watch this space. I hope to see you return soon. Until then, ladies and gentlemen, may your cheese be plentiful.


(Note: This is not intended to be a rip-off of the study I referenced earlier. I actually had this idea before said study was ever published, not that I have any means of proving it. Nevertheless, this will be a more in-depth and much less serious look into the effects of cheese on dreams, so no, I'm not just playing copycat. Really.)
