In a Christian universe, Anya ...

This is either too limited or not limited enough. The Bible doesn't really deal a whole lot with heaven and hell, and I don't believe that purgatory shows up in it at all. So really, most of what Christians of various groups think of their possible afterlives is based on later theological theory, denominations' dogma (and really, quite often your own religious leader's) and personal belief. For example, I don't know if the Episcopal Church "believes" in purgatory or not, but I have had priests on both sides of the issue. Plus, purgatory can be defined in different ways. It can be a miserable place where you sweat out petty sins until you've done enough penance that you can go to heaven, a place that is neither good nor bad that you go to if you're basically a good person but haven't been baptized, a decent place where you go to learn and grow until you reach the level of true communion with God (enlightenment, for want of a better word) or something else altogether. And accepting Christ as your personal saviour is critical for some, NSM for others.

Personally, I believe that Anya went to a good place for her, whether it's called Valhalla, heaven, hell, or the universe with no shrimp.

On the other hand, I sometimes think that posting tired is about as bad as posting drunk. So please ignore all of this if it is either incoherent or offensive.

ION, I used to be a naturally gifted speller. Apparently, this is something that I am losing in the aging process, along with my wonderful sense of direction. But, I'm a pretty good searcher, know how to use a dictionary, and have recently started not hating beer, so I guess that getting older is not altogether bad.

Not to sidetrack the heaven or hell conversation, but does Buffy ever have a prophetic dream after WttH? I mean, it's supposed to be part of the Slayer package: Movie!Buffy had it, TV! Buffy has it in WttH and Fray not having it is a major plot point so I'm wondering why it was more or less dropped. (Other than oddly morphing, in Fray and Buffy 7 to some kind of subconcious link to the past Slayers).

She had several. There was one in Hush.

And I feel like a dolt for forgetting about the one in Hush. Nevermind, then.

She had prophetic dreams all the time, and they were fairly major plot points in "Nightmares"/"Prophecy Girl," "When She was Bad," "Surprise," "Graduation Day," and "Restless."

They had dropped off considerably by Hush, and I can't think of many after that..

Hmm. Did she have one about Dracula specifically? I don't think she ever dreamed about Glory. And I'm pretty sure there were none in Season 6, though I thought at the time that must be a consequence of her resurrection.

There were Dracula dreams, but I am not sure if they came from him or from her Spidey sense.

Restless was the last major dream. In season 5, the dream or two she had seemed to be connected to Faith, or wait, was it Faith who had the dreams. Ugh, now I'm all jumbled.
