I had another cool dream last night. I was a monk in a vaguely Asian-themed monastic order, on a pilgrimage to a distant temple for an important festival. Once there, I somehow got involved with and got to meet the local nobility, who were throwing a big party of their own at the same time. Except they were styled more after 19th century Russia or some such. Sure enough, trains were a thing.

By the end, it turned out to be more of a sci-fi convention focused on a popular franchise that had been an accidental success, spiraling from an advertising campaign. Which made sense seeing how my travel clothes were in fact modern...

Oh, there was also a videogame sequence involving an escape from tunnels / caves beneath the temple while they filled with lava, but that was brief and strange.

Edit: as of 18 August 2022, I wrote a complete story based on this. It's too long to post on this blog, but you might want to be aware, if you have similar intentions.
