Lynn has need of Marcus' linguistic, historic, and general all-around knowledge. She wonders whether the word "Charmja" means anything in any particular language, or if there has ever been anybody in history called "Charmja".

Marcus does not know the word, but believes it to be Sanskrit or have a Sanskrit root.
It what context was it used?

Lynn wonders how open-minded Marcus is.

Lynn came across the word in a dream. Lynn has had many odd dreams in the past but the particular dream in question came after a series of not-very-similar-but-somehow-linked-dreams in which Lynn was desperate to find out "her" name.

In "the" dream she was handed an envelope with "her" name on it, and the word "Charmja" was on it. Lynn has been wondering what on earth charmja means or refers to ever since.

Lynn is suprised at Sanskrit as she has no indian blood and knows very little about indian culture at all.

Lynn realises that this ia all very far-fetched but figures that she has nothing to loose.

Anyway, Marcus is going to leave the thread for tonight. He feels a little put off by tonights' conversation, but admits that it is ultimately his choice to feel that way.

He wishes Lynn a good night, and thanks her for her kindness and diplomacy. :)

Marcus believes that dreams are more than random electrical signals. He believes that dreams are very meaningful. Had Lynn considered that Chamja is an anagram for something of significance? He suggests rearranging the letters. Likewise, Marcus suggests that Lynn think about what the sound 'feels like'. What springs to mind when you say the word?

Lynn hopes that Marcus does not take it all too personally. She admits that whilst she does not always instantly grasp what Marcus says, she trusts and believes him to be a very wise person on the whole and wishes that others could also see that, for Marcus is a very special person and should know that.

Lynn thanks Marcus for Sanskrit reference, and hopes he has a good night's sleep with no feelings of remorse or regret.

Lynn is glad to know someone with open mind about dreams and admits she has not considered anagrams or "feel like" sounds either, but she is eagerly "investigating" now.

Letters usually mean information of some kind - envelopes are merely carriers of something else, are they not?

Lynn cannot remember opening envelope, but remembers that it was about half an A4 page and that bright yellow colour normally used for long-distance or fragile cargo.

Lynn wishes to thank Marcus for all his help.

Noticing that everyone else has gone to bed, she decides that it is her time as well.

Adieu and farwell, sweet silence.

Justin woke up more tired this morning than when he went to bed. He doesn't mind, however, as he was having strange dreams about school towards the end.

Marcus says good morning to Justin. Marcus would like to say that he also had weird dreams, but they weren't about school. Marcus wonders what happened in Justin's dream...

Marcus would like to tell Lynn that he has just figured out that "charmja" is indeed a Hungarian word and suggests that instead of Sanskrit (though the belief is that all Indo-European languages come from Sanskrit!) that it has an Old Slavic or Magyar root.

Justin tells Marcus that it involved 3unit Maths (which he doesn't do) and books that don't exist in the school library.

Marcus finds the possible symbolism interesting, but is too tired to go into it.
