ReplyDeleteI'm trying to do this, too.
Good dreams? I like good dreams, too, even though they're not the usual kind of 'good' dreams. Is having a dream of getting chased by Vader considered a good dream? XD
Thank you!! :D
DeleteI saw it earlier and commented :D
I agree :) It depends really on what is considered a good dream. If you think it's a good dream, then it is a good dream :)
Those are a lot of things! :D Cool list. :)
