my good dreams!
O God! I could be bounded in a nutshell,
and count myself a king of infinite space,
were it not that I have bad dreams.
[William Shakespeare,
Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: Act II, Scene II]
The dream that inspired the opening cavern of _Ma jolie_ also
featured a JSW editor that supported extra guardian-types, such as a
3D tree(!).
I had a strange dream recently in which I was in... how can I
describe this... a small hill with a hole the size of a small room
dug into it. In JSW terms, the hill was like a combination of wall-
blocks and ramp-blocks - green ink on black paper - albeit in 3D.
There appeared to be something like a giant wasp in the hill behind
the hole, as legs, antennae and clumps of yellow fur were protruding
from little holes in the hill. I woke up with the intriguing
words "ESSENCE OF WASP" on my mind.
