Possible to change categories, or even assign two?

I have a series of articles on dreamwork. I uploaded the first couple some years ago; at that time, the best category I could find for them was "Articles > Self-Improvement > New Age".
Since returning to CC this year, I've just now uploaded a third dreamwork article. After doing so, I discovered that CC has added a new category in the meantime: "Articles > Health > Dreams and Nightmares".
I'm kind of torn. My ideal category would be "Articles > New Age > Dreams", but it's probably not reasonable for me to request that kind of overhaul! So if I had to choose one, I think "Dreams & Nightmares" is the better fit. But if I start submitting under the other category, that would split the series over two categories, making it harder for customers to locate them all.
I would *love* to list my dreamwork articles under *both* categories, if I could. I know that's not possible now. Will we be allowed to do this at some future time? Perhaps the submission form might one day say, "pick up to 3 categories" or similar?
Whether that becomes possible or not, I'd still need some sort of mechanism for changing the category assignment of existing articles. There's no interface for it under "Edit"--I understand that; appropriateness of category gets approved during when the Editor reviews the submission; I expect any changes of category would have to be editorially approved as well. If I want my dreamwork articles moved to the "Dreams & Nightmares" category, should I email Support? Or is it simply impossible to change, and is my article series simply stuck forever with the categories that were available when I submitted the first couple in 2005?
