"Hmmm. It could possibly have some connection. While I myself am no historian, I do know that certain stories appear in many different cultures. For example, the Cinderella story can be traced back to numerous places across Europe and even into Asia. So it is possible that the story you're referring too could have some basis in the actual book, but you'd have to ask your History of Magic professor more about that," he told her with a smile.

As Nolan listened to the students provide answers to the question, he noticed a slumbering Gryffindor in the corner. Oh heck no. First sleepy student of the term!

As they rattled off answers, Nolan kept his ears open, but GLARED at the student. As in a 'Don't sleep in my class' glare.

"Yes, all good answers!" he said with a grin. They were all super smart. "A false awakening is where you wake up in the dream, but you don't actually physically wake up. So you dream yourself wandering around and doing certain things, only to wake up and find you were still dreaming. It can be confusing to say the least. For example, during my days as a student here, I once dreamt that I had done all my Charms homework 2 weeks in advance. When the date came for the homework to be turned in, I argued for half an hour with my professor, insisting that I'd turned it in earlier, only to find that I was wrong and it had all been a dream. So, when recording your dreams, be sure you're certain that you're recording the correct version of the dream!"

"Now, we're going to do a practice interpretation before I introduce your project. Record a dream that you've had recently...any dream will do. The weirder it is, the better it will work for this exercise!" he said. "Please don't just make up a dream, I'd like this to be something you actually take seriously," he added, just in case it wasn't obvious that he was serious about this warm up exercise. "You have 15 minutes," he said before clapping his hands, signalling that they were free to begin.

OOC: ANDDD I'm off for the night. You have like, 16ish hours to come up with a dream, so have at it! :]

Oh. She'd been right. Coolio then.

Hmm.. a dream. Well she had recurring dreams. But.. she was NOT sharing that. Ever. Or at least.. not to the rest of her classmates. Hmph.
