I've had you on my friends list for a bit, but I tend to agree with a lot of this. It seems to me that the Dream is something that people generally just don't even worry about anymore. So many excuses and reasons why we can't go without x or not do y that the idea that we're trying to make the mundane world go away gets harder and harder. I'm no less guilty than anyone else, but I know that as a medievalist mundanely (I'm working on my masters in English, focused on medieval lit, with the eventual goal of getting my doctorate and teach) it _really_ frustrates me when the society just doesn't seem to care about trying to be more medieval, to make that suspension of disbelief easier. I'd like to be more period, and I know I fail miserably, but sometimes it feels like people don't even try. Which is what I want.
