"Ahhh, that's better.  My mouth gets dry when I expound.  Anyway, the name you are called in your dream does not offer me any real clues, for I know not what Trilla is, or what it means to be a child of one.  Do you dream of anything else?  My advice would be to try and remember what you see and experience in your next dream, perhaps even attempt to reach out to it while it is taking place.  Perhaps that will shed more light for you, or even give us something else to work with.  Ultimately though, know that what you experience is, while unsettling and strange, likely a product of your lineage coming through as you develop your magical aptitudes." </blockquote>
