Sh*t Luna Says

So I finally brought a notebook over to Luna's house so I could write down some of the crazy stuff she tells me about her dreams, her stuffed animals, the imaginary friends she had as a kid, etc.

Here's what I got:

• Luna's had recurring dreams about her old house ever since it burned down. Usually in the dreams the house is still there and looks the way it looked when she lived there, but sometimes in the dream she'll enter a room of the house and find it completely blackened and charred from fire. She says that in pretty much all of these dreams, she can smell smoke.
• Luna also told me that sometimes when she has these dreams she wakes up and doesn't know where she is because for a minute she forgets that her old house burned down and that she lives somewhere else now. She says sometimes she goes over to where her old house used to stand so that she can see it's gone. To remind herself, she said.
• When she was little she had an imaginary friend named Gwen or Gwyn (I forgot to write the friend's name down and now I can't remember which it was). Gwen/Gwyn was very tall and skinny with long dark hair. Luna described her as looking "sort of like a big black bird, like a crow or a raven or something". What I found odd was that Luna says she never played any games with Gwen/Gwyn, or even talked to her much; Gwen or Gwyn or whatever she was called would just be there in the room with her, watching her. Sometimes she would talk, but usually it was stories about herself. Luna told me she couldn't remember the stories.
• She has about seven stuffed animals with names and an additional four she just calls "the bears" because they're all teddy bears. The ones with names are: Trees (a red-eyed treefrog, missing one of its eyes), Sunny Boy (a lion with a ratty mane), Cookie (a dalmatian), Ratty (despite the name, I'm pretty sure this stuffed animal was intended to be a mouse), Mr. Blake Richardson (a plush cat with an alarmingly wide Cheshire-cat grin), Ella (a gray-and-white cat, though the white parts of its fur were very discolored from age), and Monday (a blue rabbit with a ribbon around its neck; the ribbon looked a lot newer than the plush toy itself).
• Most of the stuffed animals have been Luna's since she was a baby. She says the exception is Mr. Blake Richardson, who she got for her birthday a few years ago. (Also, Ella used to belong to Donna, which I suppose explains why the fur is so discolored.)
• Luna seemed a little embarrassed talking about her stuffed animals, so I didn't push her too much on the subject. Though I remember her previously talking about their personalities and relationships with each other (usually just mentioning in passing, but that suggests she's got some elaborate story worked out for them), so maybe I'll ask her about it again some other time.
• As I was leaving, Luna asked me if I'd ever had a dream about her. I told her that no, I never had. She seemed a little disappointed and told me that she dreamed about me sometimes. I was usually just a passive observer in her dreams, though; sort of like her imaginary friend was a passive observer in her life, I guess.

Luna's a pretty interesting person. Kind of weird, and some of this stuff seems babyish for a girl her age, but nonetheless, I think it's interesting.

(If you're wondering, I got away with taking notes about her in her presence by telling her it was for a summer homework assignment where I had to ask someone about what they were like as a kid. Since I'm homeschooled and Luna doesn't know much about my dad's style of teaching, she believed me.)
