Still sick, but feeling vaguely human again. I had stopped using the cpap while I was having sinus pressure and blockage, Friday through Sunday, but I definitely sleep better with it going, so last night I went back to it.
I dreamed of a MMORPG boss encounter (that doesn't actually exist) ... it was designed for two people, in that there were two stations with dials that had to be set and then levers pulled, but I was soloing it, so running back and forth. Occasionally the boss would pop in and radiate green, but as long as you were far enough away you wouldn't take damage. So you had to stand towards the outside edge of each lever station, so that when the boss popped up next to you there'd be enough room to run to the other end of the stage -- if he appeared in the middle of the room you had to hope you had good healing. Then once the levers were all set you could actually damage the boss, which was easy because I was overleveled for the encounter, and at the end you got a piece of a particular set of wicked-looking studded leather armor. The armor level was low for my character but there was a game mechanic where you could combine ugly-but-good armor with pretty-but-flimsy armor to get the stats of one and the look of the other. So I was farming the encounter for the armor set so that I could combine and also dye it all black.
The mmo dreams I have aren't exactly either Guild Wars or WOW or anything else I've played, but a sort of hybrid; location names are often a stolen mishmash, e.g. I'll map-jump from Lion's Arch to Orgrimmar to Cantha to Ironforge. It's kind of fascinating.
