Dream: Fates and Furies

The context:

It's been a while since I had a significant dream.

Last night, I wrapped up or put on Hiatus "Areli," a Changeling larp character, a Eumenides extraction cybrid notable for being motivated by sex,aggression, and a sense of survivor guilt.

I stayed up late, clearing my head. This dream occurred before 11:00

Advice on fighting Hydras

The hydra is a many-headed serpent.

(As in: the heads each have a serpentine "neck," a opposed to just having a snake with a bundle of heads on one end.)

It's big and poisonous.

Maybe it's aggressive, or maybe ancient Greek heroes just liked to get into fights with dangerous animals.

If you cut off a head, it head grows back. Or a pair grows back.

Much is made of Heracles' solution - cut off a head, and cauterize the stump immediately.

But why not strike at the body?
