But to answer your questions: 1. Yes It was a cylinder that felt like a pipe, and was hard to move when it was on. There have been many I have had to use it on. They were like described in the books and movies. Just because they are described there does not mean that experiencing them directly is going to be different. They main characters looked similar to the actors, but not identical. I’m sure they did, but it was never anything I discussed with them. They were dealing with their own galaxy mostly. One or two did, and I didn’t discuss it with them that much. Dragons look like what they want to look like, it changes depending on the dragon in question. They have their own beliefs and I haven’t talked to them about it much.

I’ve talked to many people, and when I say “people” I mean any thinking being, and one thing that is consistent is courtesy and privacy. They will tell me what they want, only what they want and that’s all. I try really hard not to press them.
