A dream about Wilkie Collins...??? (*weird*)

blackroseivy · 26-03-2008

Well, I was with these people from my past - they DO show up as extras in my dreams on a regular basis!! - & this poster thingie that Wilkie Collins had made was being searched for by this weird guy I'd already dreamed about in another dream (he was a stranger).

Anyone know who Wilkie Collins was?

He was a seminal writer of British horror fic - he wrote something called "The Moonstone".

It was in the basement of a school (ANOTHER element I never seem to be able to get away from) & it was supposedly valuable.

While there, I came across this large pad of watercolor paper that I bound as a book & put decorative paper over - had big plans for it that I never really did anything with, but the point is it's right on my bookshelf...

I dreamed that I had lost it & then decided I'd take it back, even though I'd lost whatever I'd been going to put in it, & it wasn't worth much of anything.

Anybody hazard anything about this one??

(Maybe that bound book is really my LIFE - sheesh!)

Yup! I've read both The Moonstone and The Woman in White

Though I'd hardly call it horror fic! Or is that "horrorfic"

Those 2 novels are brilliant!!! Mystery and suspense through and through... check out Collins in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilkie_Collins and read The Moonstone! It's fantastic

Can't help on the dream

....unless it relates to one of Wilkie Collins' stories? He was a mystery/detective writer after all...and you were searching for a poster of his.

A lot of Collins' books 'n stuff are online via http://www.wilkiecollins.com/

Gots Wilkie somewhere in my collection...

This is all VERY strange! :p haha

Well, he wrote ghost fic too, The Moonstone has supernatural elements.

Anyway, I don't know WHAT I was looking for in that dank underground space (just the sort of space I MOST HATE!!).

Well, maybe someone will have like a flash of insight!

Not my favourite either.

I would in no way call him a horror writer, he wrote mysteries/suspense with a tinge of the gothic and some ghosts stories.

Ghost stories - yeah, you are right, sometimes I get the 2 mixed up.
