Interpretation ofmy dreamBy Donna Louise EerdenAs my hands turn into hooves, and my back is as sleek and round, I have turned into a mystical unicorn, to prance around and be free.As my horn glistens in the sunlight there is a young child that I must take care of, and keep safe from harm. The child is me.As the child grew, I was there with her all the way, for now she is all grown up into a beautiful maiden.As I kissed her she also turned into a beautiful unicorn. And we both lived happily together.We are one with the ground and gallop to the higher ground, where we can live in peace and harmony for the rest of our lives.Donna works at Link publisher inprint Design as an electronic document processor. in her spare time she likes to write fantasy stories under the name ‘Dianna Jackindee Honour’. The above piece was inspired by one of her dreams.The lost remoteI went to stay in a hotel for four nights and I am deaf so I need captions on TV. I rang the receptionist using NRS App on my iPad asking for the normal remote control, instead of the hotel's special 'movie link' which only had a few basic buttons.The next day, when I came back to my room, there were two maintenance guys trying to work out how to get the captions to work. They had no idea how to use the original remote control to turn the caption function on. I said to the guys: ‘just leave the remote control and I'll work it out’. Within two seconds I knew exactly what to do. For future reference, ask the hotel before you book or ask the receptionist for the original remote control as all digital TVs come with captions these days. Don't be afraid to ask!Jacy Arthur, SASend your letter to the editor:Link Editor, Inprint Design, 1B Laffer Drive, Bedford Park SA 5042 or email it to editor@linkonline.com.auPlease include your postal address (not for publication).
