Dreamt of reading about a minor literary figure from the early 20th century, a small spry man behind a “wall of beard.” I don’t think I found any photos, but he appeared in caricatures by several people, including Max Beerbohm. He was Scots, with a long name whose spelling he appeared to have reverse-engineered into Gaelic out of romanticism. His personality was the mix of charming and repellent aspects you realistically find in people, especially if they’re from a very different time than your own. I was advised by somebody to skip the man’s later works, when bitterness and misogyny had largely taken over.

The timeline was a bid odd, as I realized when I woke up— he’d a very 1890s vibe, but had apparently been slightly too young to fight in WWI, and he’d still been around in 1974 to give a tv interview (with Oprah Winfrey, who in real life was still doing local news).

In the dream, I was trying to explain all this to my Dad, and also showing him a small model of a railway caboose that I liked because it reminded me of the CN trains that used to go by our old house.
