I dreamt of berserkers (!)
Maybe it was because I am sick and it agitates my sleep, maybe it is because I had toasts with honey as my only supper (as I am sick I couldn't eat anything else)... But anyway yesterday, I went to bed at 9:30, ridiculously early for me, and after I fell asleep, shivering... I dreamt of berserkers. Hairy bearded warriors covered with bear skins. I read a lot of Norse mythology and sagas where they are heavily featured, sometimes getting telepathically linked to bears, so it kind of makes sense they end up haunting my dreams. I had also watched recently this YouTube video from Lindybeige on the subject, which is about... Berserkers. I wish I had a good enough memory of the dream, although it was like all dreams, especially induced by fever, very confused. But in any case, I dreamt of berserkers. How cool is that?
