Last night's round of dreams included one where someone was asking me to ask the Divine for the answer to a problem. That's the sort of stuff I do. I closed my eyes, went for access, saw the white light, and had just enough time to think "Oh, shit!" before I passed out with a sharp buzz like a power surge in my head, and came to thinking "--Not again!" some unspecified time later.

If that's the answer, the mind boggles as to what the question is.

The impression given was that I'd been possessed by the Divine, and I had no memory of what had transpired while I was out.

The Divine does something of the like to me whenever I do serious divination (note the root word there!) -- the only reason I retain much memory is because I have chat log half the time, or physical means of telling, or people talk to me about it when I'm half-back.

But it's usually a more gradual fade-out: someone asks me to divine something, I get out the cards or what have you, and then I am aware of looking in my wildest imagination for what might be it, and free-association like Feynman skating around a lock's combination, and then nothing, and then muzzily them going OMG OMG OMG and me being "there there now, this is how you go about investigating / handling this" because I can do investigation/handling advice, and then back in focus again.

(On the other hand, some workmen are busy outside my office window, lowering a very bulky and heavy-looking fan unit into a trench in the ground. I'm waiting to see if they bust a hole in the window, or at least the wall. Isn't that exciting?)
