I'm pretty sure my entire family has read or listened to at least a few of Anne McCaffery's stories. (Some family members prefer a book on tape to one in the hand.)
I think my first encounter with her stories was in about eighth grade, when I found "Dragonsdawn" in my parents' collection of books (both are avid sci-fi/fantasy fans). I read the back, then sat down and started reading the whole thing, and I was immediately hooked.

Put something in a comments on someone else's blog then realized it'd work better as the beginning of a blog post of my own, so I cut it to move.
Anne McCaffery died on Monday... T.T

I had a strange dream, a cross-over of Conan, Artemis Fowl and Minecraft (but mainly Conan ).

While there were a few other things before the ones I'm about to describe, something about driving in a car with my stepmother and some kind of 3D maps of Alaska, but when I woke up, I didn't recall enough of them to pen down

So, the first scene I can completely recall was one in which I was in a hotel, searching for a room. I were some kind of Conan/Artemis Fowl mixture (yeah...), and were accompanied by my "mother", a mixture of Yukiko and Angeline Fowl (which I will, from now on, just call Yukiko), who, for some reason, was quite evil (not unlike Artemis himself in the first novel). Also, for some reason, my former classmates were there as well. I finally got a room in the end, but after this, we had a change of place.
Now I was in a Minecraft-like world (at least the world (not the people in it) consisted of large cubes), at the place of a suspension-bridge-construction in progress. Yukiko coordinated the whole thing (i.e. ordered everyone around), and manipulated everyone into adapting the plans according to her wishes. During this scene, I was somehow not really present, I was just watching and reading Yukiko's mind. During these scene, Yukiko got more and more soft, for some reason. I think Holly might have been around, but I'm not sure
After this, my POV moved from the side of the bridge, where Yukiko had been busy with ordering the others to flatten the land, to the center of the bridge, i.e. the point where the bridge was being lengthened. The sky had already been slightly overcast, but now it started to get really dark. During the movement, the wind also got stronger and it started to rain. On the bridge were some other people with me as well, notably Okiya and Ayumi (but also the rest of the DB, I think). When I arrived, the rain stopped, but Ayumi pointed out that the sky still grew darker and the wind was still strong. Okiya, after this, made some insinuation that I was somehow the cause of it (no, not that direct, that was just how me/Conan interpreted it, but I can't recall his exact words).
A bit later, I noticed that, on the water below, there was some strange bubbling going on, and Conan (somehow, I was more Conan than me at that point ) wanted to plunge into it (from the bridge; that were some 20 metres!) immediately in order to investigate it. However, he was held back, and a second later (we have a time leap here, it seems ) we were at the lake's (sea's?) shore, and entered a boat/raft. When the boat got close (2m) to the bubbling, Conan (now not really me anymore, but I still saw everything through his eyes) again attempted to lunge in it, and succeeded.
So now, he was underwater and saw, diagonally below him in the dark, murky water, Agasa in some underwater boat. He swam towards it, but when Agasa suddenly raised his head, he revealed red-glowing eyes, and Conan/me realized that it wasn't really Agasa, but a robot, designed to be a trap for him. However, Conan was already quite close, and was unable to escape when suddenly a huge metal, robotic mouth on a long neck appeared and tried to swallow him - at which point I woke up.

Something I found really notable about this dream was the fact that it started out really peaceful (until the storm, everything was very bright (in a metaphorical sense), and even with the storm, it was more exciting than threatening. It only turned into a nightmare when "Agasa" revealed his red-glowing eyes, at which point the atmosphere got really creepy and dark, even though the dream was nearly over at this point
