I've dreamt of some conlang grammar too, but can't recall any details. I
tend to dream of all kinds of weird stuff; I once asked my family members at
breakfast if a war had broken out I don't remember where, or if I 'd just
dreamt that. It turned out I had dreamt about watching the news ...

You've got a unitary verb for throne-sitting?
