Into the Stream of Consciousness

I had this really cool dream last night about riding on a train through foreign lands. In my dream, the landscape I watched through the window was Indian jungles with monkeys swinging through the trees, but we had passed through icy mountains with penguins on them just an hour before so this was clearly, even during the dream, a bizarre fantasy world.
I was supposed to be going to a physics conference to take notes for my dad, who for some reason was busy and couldn't make it because he was hosting a party for Godzilla.
There was a little side-table in my cabin with a clear glass tea cup which contained black tea with a slice of lemon on the rim, and the spoon in the saucer was rattling against the glass. I wondered if there would be tea at the monster party, and whether Godzilla took tea with lemon, or was he a cream and sugar sort of guy when he had his biscuits...
There really wasn't any point to the dream, as far as I can tell upon waking, but then that's part of the fun in them, isn't it?

I love the focal bead used in this loop pendant. It's a watery swirled luscious rainbow - a borosilicate glass beauty by Rose of Rosebeads-n-Bottles. It is surrounded by surrounded by swirled multi-colored borosilicate donut beads encased in clear for depth, and some fuschia and blue-green toned glass beads, with little silver accents.
The loop is double-strung with strong nylon coated wire and hanging from a satin cord which closes with a lobster-claw clasp that has a teeny starfish charm accent.

Borosilicate glass is a special kind of glass which is actually more durable than normal glass - it is the same kind used in Pyrex and is less dense than ordinary glass and it also requires a much higher temperature to melt compared to ordinary silicate glass.
