Dreams.

I had many dreams, but in one of them, I was something like a dragon hunter. I walked through a dense and fantastical forest, looking into various secluded places that are a bit difficult to describe in words. Sometimes it could be something like a den, but in a hill or mound, with tunnels and passages inside, partially entwined with roots, and some of them simply hanging down from above (if you've played Gothic 2, you might remember the first encounter with an orc and his cave, and maybe some other ones). Often, they were empty, and there were almost no signs of life. But then I entered another small cave (not the one Nebok was thinking about) and carefully made my way through the roots and earth until I came to a small, rounded room, which in size could be compared to a two-room apartment, but with higher "ceilings." In the center of it was a dragon (roughly, you understand what size?), who seemed to be sleeping, but apparently not very soundly, as he was moving. I don't know, maybe he was just getting comfortable, or maybe he was starting to wake up. At the same time, he wasn't lying down, but rather coiled around something that was standing in the center. For some reason, it seems to me that he was purple, like the fairytale dragons in Heroes of Might and Magic 3. And maybe there were various objects in the cave, like a cauldron, books, and other magical items. I just didn't look around for long and quickly decided to get out of there because I got scared, and it seems like I needed to tell someone about the find. Apparently, the dream was inspired by the Wheel of Time series (there was an episode with a cave, and the forest is in every episode), plus my friend and I were discussing Gothic, Elex, and Fable.
