Barrow-Down Dreams

[Oddwen]

While I was staying at Diamond's house, I dreamed of telling Rune a dream I had of him some time back. The dream within a dream involved Rune traveling across a desert on an epic quest to find some guy, whereupon Dream Rune wrinkles his face and says "A guy?" with extreme disgust on his face.

[Blind Guardian]

I had a dream that was more lotr then Barrow-Downs. But TGEW was in it! We were on the Arizona Colorado border running for our lives because all around us was Orcs. Tgew turned around and screamed 'It's Melkor!' which made the situation even worse. It took us forever of hiding in a school building, attempting to hijack a car, and killing a few Orcs, but finaly we got to our own truck and started running over orcs. (Bye-bye paint job!) We turned up a small road to pull out a map to see where we were. After a while I gave up and just used my iPod. Turns out we weren't far from a high way and a resturant! The debate ended when we turned around a saw orcs running at us. I woke up after falling asleep in the truck.

This is where TomTom comes in handy. It's never failed me. Ever. :rolleyes::p

[Blind Guardian]

TomTom? What are you talking about?

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

TomTom? What are you talking about?
If we were lost we could have just used TomTom. It's very useful. ;)

The urge to make a Bombadil joke is huge, even for me. *resists* Also, I hate GPS systems. They don't generally account for road construction and they get me confused all the time. :(

[the phantom]

and they get me confused all the time.
I think that's primarily because you often confuse right and left. :p

TomToms really are made of evil. We had one in Britain and it kept getting us lost. We had to use two maps, a road atlas, and the locals to get around. And we still got lost. That may have had something to do with the fact that my mother missed turns. A lot. Not with the navigator. :p But I digress. :o

No, that would be Shasta. :smokin: *snuggles him*


In other news, the Finns tied me up and refused to let me go to work at some point this week. (This just so I can pretend I'm staying on topic. Heh.)

ETA: Whoops! x'd with TGEW

[Nerwen]

We turned up a small road to pull out a map to see where we were. After a while I gave up and just used my iPod. Turns out we weren't far from a high way and a resturant! The debate ended when we turned around a saw orcs running at us. I woke up after falling asleep in the truck.

Wow, just last night my uncle was insisting that there were no such things as maps in America (or GPS, or anything) and that everyone relied entirely on verbal directions.:rolleyes:

[satansaloser2005]

I can't really read a map. *shifty eyes* That might further the stereotype.

Or, for TGEW: I can't even point to Germany on a map. :rolleyes:

[Blind Guardian]

Wow, just last night my uncle was insisting that there were no such things as maps in America (or GPS, or anything) and that everyone relied entirely on verbal directions.:rolleyes:

Really? America praticly created the GPS! Well not really, they had help from China :smokin: We have GPSs and maps.

[the phantom]

Wow, just last night my uncle was insisting that there were no such things as maps in America (or GPS, or anything) and that everyone relied entirely on verbal directions.
Ha ha! No, no, we have maps.

Though if he meant for local travel (within 50 miles) he might be right. I honestly can't recall the last time any of my friends or I used a map or GPS to go someplace around here. Even if it's a place some of us have never been, someone in the group has been there, and so they say- "Turn right when you see the Pizza Hut, then go to the second light and turn left, then the park is on your left." So yeah, verbal directions rule.

And actually those are the sort of directions I gave the Finns when they came to visit (no map links or anything, and I did not assume they were using a navigation system). So Mr. Uncle may also be right when it comes to meeting people somewhere. Basically the only time I or anyone I know uses maps is when one of us resolves to go somewhere unfamiliar and we aren't going there to meet anyone (because if we were meeting someone that person would have given us directions and we'd no longer have much of a use for a nav system or a map).

[Blind Guardian]

Ha ha! No, no, we have maps.

So yeah, verbal directions rule.

We do. When we moved to Phoinex, like last month, we didn't know were anything was so we had to us it a lot.

Turn right, recalculating.
What? We didn't even get to the turn!

Try doing that everyday!

My family and friends are awful about doing this. "Okay, turn left at the tree." "You live in the middle of a forest." "It's a special tree." I swear I've had this conversation...and I was the person giving directions...:p

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Maps are extremely useful! So are road atlases, by the way. I recommend everybody get one. Then you'll be able to find Germany... if it's a road atlas to Europe, that is. :p

[Thinlómien]

So, we (Nogrod, Greenie, Agan and me) were on our way back to New York from the west and there was to be another 'downermoot in Rikae and Mac's house. They lived in New York City in a comfy red wooden house.

We were planning program for the evening when Boro got a brilliant idea: we should try playing fortune tellers to each other. He went upstairs to prepare everything, and Greenie and I followed him to help him with stuff. We had been there only for a few minutes when the curtains were suddenly drawn (the house had weird curtains that were outside the window). We opened the window to see what was happening. Fea had climbed the tree next to the window and had drawn the curtain to help us create a mystic atmosphere.

There was also a big swing attached to the tree branch. Fea went there and started playing with it. "Be careful," I said. "It's a long fall." For some reason, the fall from the tree branch or from Rikae&Mac's second storey windowsill was several hundred meters: you could see tiny houses and parks down there and also the river (which was called Anduin instead of Hudson River btw).

Fea just laughed at my warnings, and soon Agan, Encai, THE Ka, Princess Victoria of Sweden and the singer of one of my favourite bands (Jenny Wilhelms from Gjallarhorn in case somebody happens to know her) joined her in the tree and they all started doing dangerous tricks on the swing. Boro, Greenie and I watched them in horror and told them to come down but they were having a lot of fun so they were just ignoring us.

Then one of them got a brilliant idea: hey let's jump down to Anduin (which was quite narrow and very far down below them, I might add). "Idiots!" I cried. "Don't do that! That's [censored] dangerous - with the winds and all it's more probable you hit the houses or the streets!" But of course, they didn't heed my warnings but jumped, one by one. Boro and Greenie stood there, unable to move but staring at them falling in horror. "I can't watch," I said and turned away from the window.

We had to go to the streets and try to find out what had happened to them. We found Agan first, because she had landed quite close to the house and we had seen her fall and be caught by a parachutist in the air so that they had both landed with his parachute. She looked a bit dazed but she was fine. "What the [censored] you were thinking of?!" I asked. She grinned. "It was awesome." "Awesome? Do you understand some of you might be dead?" She raised her chin cockily and with a hint of a smile she said, carelessly: "I don't think they are."

Later we found out others had been as lucky as to survive the fall (Fea and THE Ka had managed to land in Anduin and the two random ladies had survived by some other means), but Encai was dead. A memorial park was established where she had fallen but I remember hoping it was done with honest grief and not maliciously in the style of the Darwin Awards.

I have a horrible subconscious, I know. :D

[Nerwen]

Ha ha! No, no, we have maps.

Though if he meant for local travel (within 50 miles) he might be right. Well, that is probably what he was basing it on, really, but he insisted you lot don't have maps at all.

What's the Downer body count at now, Lommy? I think your subconscious must have killed off a good quarter of the active members at one time or another.

[wilwarin538]

Or, for TGEW: I can't even point to Germany on a map. :rolleyes:

Most Americans can't name more than 3 of our provinces or territories (and we have only 13). But most Canadians can name atleast 30 of the 52 states (or more...my sister can name them all, along with their capitals). ;)

[Rikae]

Maps are extremely useful! So are road atlases, by the way. I recommend everybody get one. Then you'll be able to find Germany... if it's a road atlas to Europe, that is. :p

Germany? Pshaw - you don't need a map! Just head toward the outlet mall, and keep going until you cross Lake Ontario. Ya make a right and swim for about three months, then just keep walking until the air smells more like laundry soap than "special" herbs, and you're there! Can't miss it.
:smokin:

[wilwarin538]

So I had an interesting dream last night.

Nog, Greenie, Lommy and I were in some sort of race together, where we had a clue to a destination where the next clue was, and so on. So we arrive at this destination which is a little greenhouse with these strange flowers and Greenie walks over to the flowers to try and find the clue. But she get's pricked by one of them! Nog then announces that he can tell by the smell of the flower that it's highly poisonous and she only has an hour to live! So we leave and rush over to this strange little miniature looking town, and go inside this pharmacy to try and get the antidote. The woman at the pharmacy than gives us this pink liquid and these little purple pills and tells us we have to use them to make the antidote ourself and that it's a long process. So Lommy says "but she only has an hour to live!" and that causes the woman to respond with "Well than I hope you have a lot of dwarves at home to help you make it".

And then we got ice cream. The end.

It was weird. ;)

[satansaloser2005]

So did you just leave Greenie to die whilst you went to eat ice cream?

[A Little Green]

So did you just leave Greenie to die whilst you went to eat ice cream?*Sniff* Well, at least little Greenie knows now to watch out for greenhouses.

[wilwarin538]

So did you just leave Greenie to die whilst you went to eat ice cream?

Haha, yeah, well I guess it seemed pretty hopeless (since I clearly did not have the sufficient number of dwarves at home to help me make the antidote), so we figured we may as well let Greenie have ice cream one last time. ;)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Most Americans can't name more than 3 of our provinces or territories (and we have only 13). But most Canadians can name at least 30 of the 52 states (or more...my sister can name them all, along with their capitals). ;)

I can, I can! I got seven (all provinces, not territories), and actually forgot some of the easy ones (British Columbia, anyone?). Most Americans, I suspect, can't actually do more than half (fewer?) of our state capitals. Though I'll confess to a couple things:

1) I'm a visual learner, so if I see something on a map, I remember it (versus if somebody tells me where something is, I won't; those at the Geneva Convention can testify that I'm useless with remembering what's said to me, but quite good at remembering what I've seen or done).

2) Contemporary art history was the most painfully boring class I ever had to take, and Nienna and I worked our way through many hours by listing states, capitals, countries, former countries, major bodies of water... We drew maps from memory (which was hilarious and a little traumatizing... where does Wyoming go again? And Estonia goes over there, right? Hold on, is that a country or a nickname? What are they calling the Congo these days?)

So we're a bit ahead of the curve, really, since we very intentionally learned geography just to pass the time.

Anyway, I've been meaning to post this:

The other night/morning I had a really elaborate dream about the Finns.

We were at The Airport (which seemed to be a conglomeration of several ideas of what an airport might be like, as opposed to being anything like a real one) and I really only knew it was an airport because there were a lot of awkwardly placed escalators and there were planes flying above us.

Near to a vendor of cheap touristy trinkets of dubious ethnic or regional interest was a table at which sat a woman in what looked like it might have been a sari, and a man with a vast beard.

Their job was to dye people's hair brilliant colors. Somehow they were affiliated with a carnival.

Greenie dyed her hair very bright blue. Aganzir's was many colors, and Lommy's hair was bright white. Nogrod looked on with amusement as Greenie convinced me that the special version of dye the couple at the table used would saturate just as vibrantly on my dark brown hair as it did on her bright blond tresses.

So I showered with a blue rinse to prepare my hair for the dyeing process, and when I came out of the airport shower (which was very dark and kind of sketchy), I put on a dress much like that of the lady at the table. Greenie pointed that my natural gold highlights were already looking very blue, and they hadn't even dyed my hair yet with the powder!

At this point I seem to remember seeing red powder (the dye) on Nog's hair, and wondering if it was going to stain his scalp.

Then we played on escalators (really long ones) and then I woke up.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I was delighted to realize, in dream, that the reason I was sitting in the window seat of a large airplane was because I was on my way to Finland.

Kath was seated next to me, since we were on the leg of the journey that would take us from England to Norway.

Now, it apparently is true that airplanes work a bit like rollercoasters, in that they get their momentum by going really fast up and down rickety tracks before taking off.

As it would turn out, we didn't get up to speed properly prior to the part where the tracks end and the plane is supposed to shoot upward toward the sky.

We ended up afloat in the Atlantic, which I sort of thought was the Hudson River at the time.

Wondering if I should take action and save the good people of the sinking plane, I started fumbling with the oxygen masks that were taped to the windows, wondering how to turn the seats into flotation devices. I was worried about my camera, since water was fast filling the plane and we were all still strapped down with our seatbelts, and I was pretty sure Kath's camera was already waterlogged since she'd stowed her carry-on under the seat.

Finally a flight attendant came onto the plane from a side door and told us that we weren't going to sink any more, but to please put on the masks and it would all be fine.

While the airline folk worked on getting the water off the plane, my college painting professor ordered a guy that graduated from college the year I started to go on a mission to find food. I asked if I could go with him, and was told no.

I discovered that my professor had a studio in Norway where he'd been dabbling in ceramics.

On the plane again, I tried to send out a mass text message saying, "I'm in Norway!" but my phone wouldn't work on that side of the ocean.

Kath's wouldn't either. I dozed off then, because it seemed there wasn't much else to do.

When I woke up, we were speeding through the Norwegian landscape, which looked shockingly similar to upstate NY but which was only about 65 degrees, which I found very pleasant, since I like cooler weather. I was a bit surprised to see that most of the signs on shops were written in English. This seemed a bit... odd.

Before I knew it, we were at Nogrod's apartment, which was a fascinating second story place with cool architecture. One of the floors was sunken, and the chairs were made to accommodate the slanting. Agan, Lommy, and Greenie were all there, of course, as were Mira, Nienna, and Lari. And Kath, clearly, who I'd arrived with. Also joining us was a girl that Ni and I lived with as sophomores in college; since that rooming relationship had gone sour and we hadn't talked to her since, it was downright awkward for the girl to be there demanding our attention when we wanted to devote it all to our wonderful Finns!

For a while we were outside frolicking on a hillside and we were all showing off our shapeshifter abilities. Lommy turns into a penguin. I turned into a German Shepherd, but that was only because I liked the shape; I could have turned into other things.

When Nog arrived (he'd run to the store), I nuzzled him in dog form, attempting to ask him what animal he was capable of turning into. I thought possibly a grizzly bear, but he's too nice!

We all transformed back into our human selves, and I took an unintentional nap on the hill side, waking up to find that everyone had gone inside to find food. When I got inside, I found a note saying they'd gone to the masquerade at the thrift store, and that I should meet them there.

I tried to find the ingredients to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but there were only pieces of eerily flattened bread, and mint jelly, and the peanut butter container had bars of chocolate in it instead of peanut butter.

Finally I found a very small container labeled, "Kath's pound of peanut butter" which struck me as very odd, since she's allergic. Nevertheless, I decided that since she was allergic, she wouldn't miss it, and I made myself a sandwich and then found Nog!

He'd come home to find me, and, excitedly, I asked him, "If we could all turn into animals at will, what do you think we would turn into?"

I wish I could remember the rest of that conversation.

Eventually we managed to all meet back up, and everything was quite lovely.

The end.

*points to the post she made when she started this thread*


Haha. Fantastic dream. ;)

[Encaitare]

Encai was dead. A memorial park was established where she had fallen but I remember hoping it was done with honest grief and not maliciously in the style of the Darwin Awards.

I'm... not sure how to react to this. Thanks for making me a memorial park, I guess. XD

[Aganzir]

Last night I had a dream Lommy, Encai, I and some other Downer girls decided to sleep in a tree. In the middle of the night Rune stalked there in a black cloak and tried to stab us, just to prove it was possible to do it without us noticing it early enough to flee. Turned out it wasn't.

[Thinlómien]

What's the Downer body count at now, Lommy? I think your subconscious must have killed off a good quarter of the active members at one time or another.Not sure. I think I have killed at least Legate, Rune, Brinn, Mith, Encai and Nilp, but probably more. Someday when I'm bored I'll count. ;)

Somehow I thought this:
I can, I can! I got seven (all provinces, not territories), and actually forgot some of the easy ones
was a reply to:
that causes the woman to respond with "Well than I hope you have a lot of dwarves at home to help you make it".
:D
...?

[satansaloser2005]

In a somewhat unoriginal move, I had a dream about Lommie and an army of penguins. Linux penguins, actually. She waged war on that guy from the Mac commercials, and, of course, won.

Also, Wilwa was a giant angry talking muffin taking over New York. o_O

[satansaloser2005]

Also, Lommie, please never dream about me. Ever. :p

[Pitchwife]

Ah, come on - being killed by Lommy's subconscious is a rite of passage all of us must undergo sooner or later (much like being mentioned in the Downer for the first time). Besides, we're all dead to begin with, so it doesn't hurt.

[Aganzir]

Ah, come on - being killed by Lommy's subconscious is a rite of passage all of us must undergo sooner or later
But my subconscious has killed her! I once had a dream she had a cancer and when she was hospitalised, she decided to end her suffering for good and killed herself the Denethor way in the hospital bed. :cool:
(In the dream, I didn't find this so funny - especially as she didn't wait for me to get there to say her goodbye.)

Ahaha, oh my gosh. That is really funny! I wonder what the difference is between a Province-Dwarf and a Territory-Dwarf. :P

Neither of which has happened to me, as far as I've noticed. Not that I want to be mind killed by Lommy, haha.

I can't stand the guy from the Mac commercials. And I'm hoping I was taking over the entire state of New York, and not merely just the city. :D

[wilwarin538]

So I had another dream. And I can't remember all of it, so it makes like no sense. :D

I remember being in the middle of the woods, and Shasta and Nerwen were there. We were playing a game of Werewolf I think with a bunch of other random people. Then we were on this strange bus, I guess headed home, and the bus driver was this really strange lady who was a terrible driver.

So we're driving along, going over a ton of bridges really really fast, when she suddenly veers off a bridge and we're on this big outdoor football field. There's a building beside it so we stop there and she's all excited about taking a nice break and everyone else gets off the bus except me, Nerwen and Shasta. The three of us are trying to get some sleep in the small bed at the back of the bus (so strange), cause we're really tired. All the other passengers are throwing a large beach ball around the field, while the crazy driver makes pasta.

The rest is really blurry, but at some point Phantom showed up and was trying to entertain me by reading me this book (which I think had moving pictures), and he was laughing really hard but I didn't think it was at all funny. :p

The end. :cool:

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

We were all quite excited because the train pulling into the depot was really high-tech looking, and then it kept going without stopping, and it turned out our train was a sketchball looking little trolley that was squeaking on the rails, covered in rust.

So we piled in, and the seating was limited. Nienna and Formy were nauseatingly romantic, over in their own corner. Mira and Lari were along one wall. The phantom found a seat in the middle of everyone and everything, and I snagged the seat next to him, refusing to stand.

Wilwa was nearby, and I thought about offering my seat to her, but can't remember why I didn't. Nogrod was across the aisle, wearing pajama pants and trying to argue with us about whether or not he was intoxicated. I pointed out that he was wearing pajamas, and he stopped arguing.

At first we couldn't find Lommy, but it turned out she'd settled in the next compartment behind some very large people who obscured our view of her. She popped her head out and waved.

And then Greenie came. She'd boarded last, and again, I considered offering up my seat. But then I had a better idea.

Just as the phantom offered to let her sit on his lap for the duration of the ride, I patted my own lap and she settled in to snuggle with me instead of him.

I was really quite pleased about this.

Later, we were all playing paper telephone, but I was very confused as to how to play it. I was trying to write funny sentences that took up the whole page, but I only got about as far as thinking, "I should write something about Lommy and penguins" before I glanced over and saw that the phantom was very neatly writing his sentence inside of a grid.

Everyone else seemed to be gridding their letters too, because apparently the point of the game was to disguise your writing so nobody could guess who wrote the sentence.

I tried to start over, tooling my sentence into a pair of Italian leather men's shoes, but then Nog was insisting that we finish, and I realized that I'd misspelled something anyway, and my hand drawn grids were completely uneven.

Aganzir told me it would be fine, but I really didn't want to play any more.

[Mirandir]

After having a conversation with Fea last night about how I never remember dreams well enough to be able to post, I have a dream that I remember well enough to post. Go figure. :rolleyes:

It started out as a cohort from school and myself running a Pride meeting (as we are wont to do), in which Shasta and Boromir88 were present. We were going around the circle saying something interesting about ourselves, and my fabulous fact involved pointing at the two of them and exclaiming "I met the two of them online!" in a total 'Ima two year old' happy voice.

This somehow managed to morph into the same group of people (minus Shasta and Boro, unfortunately) being roped into playing a Werewolf game modded by Keeper of Dol Guldur (the actual owner of the account, not me highjacking it :p) who got a hair cut and came up with some concept for the game involving black sludge of some kind and myself. Of course we completely fail at getting our shenanigans together and the game never actually got played, but the concept was there.

[Boromir88]

After having a conversation with Fea last night about how I never remember dreams well enough to be able to post, I have a dream that I remember well enough to post. Go figure.


I'm the same way, I rarely remember having dreams (even though apparently we always have them) and the ones I do remember, I can't remember much other than just one or two people in it.

And I remember telling Fea I'm very jealous of her twisty, Homeric epic dreams. Then a few days later I end up with a Fea-like dream and was disturbed that my sub-conscious was jealous.

Anyway, I did have a 'Downer related dream last night, but let me preface it by saying I completely blame Form for this one. He will know why. :p Also, perhaps important is yesterday I drove past my high school's old building, which is getting demolished and is probably the inspiration for the setting of this dream...

I'm on this wooden bench, in the middle of my old high school's parking lot, grading papers. There is this cat on the table, who's taking all those lame stickers like "An A effort" and "Excellent work!" and somehow it has the ability to stick them all over me.

I see this person walking towards me who looks exactly like Lari. I'm convinced it's her. I immediately stop grading, jump up and start shouting LARI! But Lari looks really disturbed and scared and runs away. I :(, why doesn't Lari want to talk to me! Why is she running away.

Behind me, I hear "That wasn't Lari." Lo and behold it is Alona. I'm fairly sure the cat morphed into Alona since she was by the table where the cat sticking stickers on me previously was, and this is how Form will get the complete blame for this dream. Back to dream, Alona's on the phone. I do :confused: asking how she knew that wasn't Lari, because it definitely was, and she said "Umm...because I'm talking to Lari now."

The end.

[Nerwen]

This somehow managed to morph into the same group of people (minus Shasta and Boro, unfortunately) being roped into playing a Werewolf game modded by Keeper of Dol Guldur (the actual owner of the account, not me highjacking it :p)
Mira! You're back!

But I thought Keeper of Dol Guldur was just a secondary account of yours.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I thought Keeper of Dol Guldur was just a secondary account of yours.

No... My ginger brother noticed she had 666 posts and insisted she post from his old account to maintain that number.

[Mirandir]

No... My ginger brother noticed she had 666 posts and insisted she post from his old account to maintain that number.

My favorite part about this is that you referred to him as your "ginger brother." As opposed to the non ginger brother. :rolleyes:

But yes, I'm baaaaaaack! :D

[Inziladun]

The other night I dreamed Nerwen was a taxi driver and I was the passenger in the rear seat. We were driving, and approached a long wooden bridge, very narrow, with no rails at all, that spanned a wide river or possibly a lake. The really odd thing about the bridge was that it was very twisty, with some hairpin turns! We started across the bridge, with me feeling extremely nervous. We were doing all right, then Nerwen turned around to say something to me. I saw one of the sharp turns was coming up and shouted "Watch out!", but it was too late. We plunged into the cold water. As I struggled to get my seat belt off, I woke up.

*freaking TACKLES*

[satansaloser2005]

I had a dream last night that Glirdan was modding another game. I remember thinking it was strange, since he'd just modded, but I of course signed up *snuggles her Glirdypie* and eagerly awaited my role.

Then I got my PM. And my head went asplode.

I in fact got two PMs. One detailed some game facts, which I can't remember, and the other contained my actual role. For some reason Glirdan had decided to send the Game Facts PM to multiple people at a time (which makes sense, really), but he had mixed up the actual contents of the PMs, meaning that like five people knew my role (and vice versa, since it was a standard PM that somehow included ALL of our roles). Obviously, I was a bit confused, and very cross.

So I called Glirdan to tell him that he'd either have to re-assign roles or I would drop out of the game. When he answered he was very rude and cranky and just started cursing at me for no reason. He told me it was a bad time to call him and then he hung up, mumbling all sorts of horrible things.

Weird thing is, I don't remember pullling out of the game.

[Glirdan]

.............I don't even know how to properly respond to that other then with a good hearty chuckle! :D

[Glirdan]

Wow, so it's been awhile since anybody's had a dream isn't it?? Well do I have doozy for you guys.

Vanilwamuffin and I had saved up all our money to go to Finland for the Finns moot next summer and it was a grand week or so that we were there. Obviously all the Finns were there along with Kath and Rune when we had arrived, and arriving with us, I believe were Fea, Boro, Sallycakes, Nienna, Formy and Stick. I also believe Rikae, Mac, our dear wereduckling and phantom were there at some point as well.

Anyways, a week of frivolity and fun turned into an absolute nightmare. It was time for us to leave, but Wilwa had decided to go for a walk through the countryside by herself, and we were supposed to leave in like five minutes to catch our flight home (yes, I freaked out as bad as I did when I thought you had all lost her in Boston :rolleyes: ). For some reason, [b]Lommy had a motorcycle parked out back in the shed. So I asked her to use it to find her, having never had motorcycling lessons ever.

Well, I went out and couldn't find her and this is where things got really weird. My point of view switched to that of Rune riding a motorcycle elsewhere with Kath on cycle next to him and hers stalled and there were tornado's touching down all around them and he zoomed up a hill and next thing I know, he's waking up in the hospital.

When they got out and got back to the Finns, there were Wilwa and I sitting there, having a grand ol' time and Rune just cursed us and starting drinking.

That's the gist of it anyways...I'm pretty sure there are some details that I don't quite remember.

[Thinlómien]

I had a rather weird dream a while ago. It involved Lhuna and Nilp being exchange students in Finland and a company which kidnapped and abused kids and sold them to Canada. The phantom had a company which had goods to be transported over the Atlantic and I told him not to use Eckerö Line ships (Eckerö Line is a ship company that operates on the Baltic and in the dream they were part of this kidnapping business) because they are unethical. TP just looked at me with this kind of pitying expression and said: "Frankly, I don't care. Their shipping is cheap and reliable. It's their problem if they have some shady business." Annoyed but not discouraged, I went to Lhuna and Nilp and they agreead to come with me to spy on the criminal who was running the whole business. We were hiding in a bed and I had to call Lhuna and Nilp's mum to tell her her kids were alright.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I dreamt I got a rep-point from Formendacil on Crazy Captions, but instead of the normal notification in "User CP" I got a handwritten letter. (It sort of flew out through the screen)

[Boromir88]

So, dream last night, background first.

In Rikae's WW game, on the last day of craziness, I made clear I was voting early and I had to leave, would not return for the rest of the day. Phantom makes a brilliant jerk-play as a cobbler, fake revealing as the seer and begging that I come back to back him up because he knew I was the hunter (thus the real hunter elrond, was lying). Although he would have definitely known I would not be coming back, so as I said, tricksy, false phantom.

Well, I had a dream, where phantom was explaining to everyone how he precisely knew I would not be back to spoil his plans, by pretty much stalking my every movement.

First he said he saw my facebook status that I would be elswhere for the weekend, crossed-referenced with my BD post saying I wouldn't be back until late saturday. To thoroughly make sure I was not luring him into a trap, and would triumphantly return to tell everyone what a liar he was...he looked at my twitter page (which I honestly do not have one people! :p) to see that I was at dinner with two other people. Somehow, he got the number of one of the people I was with, called him to make sure indeed I was there eating dinner and that I would not be back on a computer before 11 pm EST.

The End.

[Thinlómien]

If my dreams are to be believed, Fea and Mira are actually several hundred years old vampire sisters under false identities and they both also have dreadlocks. :cool:

[Nerwen]

Well, I spent the last part of that Day wondering if he had done something like that.:rolleyes:

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Last night I dreamt that it was Fea's birthday, so with the help of Mira I figured out that she would be going to this pub-like place. I'm a little fuzzy on how I actually got there, but I went in, gave the bartender an envelope with a card in it that said "Surprise!" and told him to buy her a drink. Then I went over to a dark table and put my hood up and waited. Soon Fea and Mira came in, the bartender gave her the envelope and pointed my way. Fea, being naturally curious, came right over and sat down and asked, "Do I know you?"

At this point I cackled low in my throat and said menacingly, "No, but I know you!"

I'm not very menacing, though, apparently, because Fea was unfazed.

"No, seriously. Do I know you?"

I sighed and threw back my hood. "You were supposed to be scared."

"SHASTICLE!"

And there was much rejoicing. I was sad upon awaking that I wasn't in fact in New York, sitting in a pub with Fea and Mira. :(

[Bom Tombadillo]

I remember dreaming last night that the phantom had resigned from the site (can you even do that? I doubt it, but such are dreams). This didn't quite hit me until I woke up, at which point I immediately rushed onto the computer with the intention of A) checking the Members List and one of his posts, to make sure he was still there, and either B1) sobbing if he wasn't or B2) posting on this thread if he was. I almost repped him for still being here (although I'm still wondering . . . The Members List had his last visit at N/A . . . :eek:)

[Galadriel55]

Don't worry, Bom. Why would Phanty resign?:eek::D
I think it says N/A for those who are on invisible mode (which means that you don't see if they're online)...

[Blind Guardian]

Phantom resigning is crazy! Hookie would kill him.

edit: you just gave me a good idea for tha newspaper!

[littlemanpoet]

Two nights ago I dreamed I was at a Barrowdowns party, and I taught another guy the Rhumba (Latin dance). I have no idea who the other guy was. I remember Feanor of the Peredhil was there, too.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

And you didn't teach me the Rhumba? I am disappointed...

However I think it is only fair to admit that I have had a mostly unbroken string of dreams about our resident Finns, specifically Aganzir. Typically Lommy and Greenie area also present. Occasionally Nog makes a guest appearance. Many times Boromir88 is somehow involved.

In last night's dream, after the arrival of Lommy and Greenie distracted Agan and I from something, Boro and I realized we had to go on patrols to make sure no vampires were out. We took our stakes and our cell phones and went out. I found myself on a subway in New York City trying to get to Brinniel's apartment so that I could get to school. I lost Aganzir's cell phone number and ran into a friend of mine from school in a pizzeria in uptown Manhatten. The pizzeria was, also, oddly, a fake and kitschy haunted house. I spent much of the rest of the dream switching from train to train, trying to get to the 'yellow line' which was the route that went past my school and had an aquarium and chocolate shop on the southern end of it, by a river and railroad. Whilst train hopping, I kept trying to call the Finns to see them one more time before their flight out of the city.

[Boromir88]

This dream happened a while ago but I just remembered it with Fea's string of Finn dreams.

I was in Finland (and I'm assuming at either Lommy's, Agan's, Greenie's, or Nog's place, because they were all there as well as Fea).

One of the Finns also must have a few cats because two cats were acting really strange around me. Way too affectionate to be cats as they were rolling around at me feet, brushing around, acting like they wanted their tummies rubbed. Then the cats started spitting up grimy radioactive looking water that got on my legs.

Cut to we were by water, lots of sand, beautiful sky, mountains in the background. I was feeling really sick though and Nog was like "ah you've just got a stomach bug, you'll be ok." I kept harping on I think those cats infected me with something, because that was disgusting water they coughed up. Fea and Agan went on an investigative search to figure out my possible ailment. Greenie and Lommy were near by trying to comfort me, Nog was walking along the coast still laughing it off as much to do about nothing.

Until finally I was like "Oh, really? Much to do about nothing. Does this look like a stomach bug to you!" I went running towards the water and this big, scary, whale-sized piranha leaped out, coming after me, gnashing big scary teeth.

That's all I remember, hopefully I didn't get eaten and hopefully there are no giant sized, sharp teeth, Boro-eating piranhas in Finland. :(

[Thinlómien]

Ahaha, Boro your subconscious seems to be warning you against going to Finland. :D Poor you! *hugs* :D

[Durelin]

I had a dream about the Finns recently too!! I apparently wasn't lame and didn't miss you when you came to the States and we met up and then the rest of the dream was me trying to find somewhere nice to eat when I had no idea where I was.

AND CATS ARE AFFECTIONATE.

Erm, anyway....

[Thinlómien]

I had a bunch of weird BD-related dreams last night.

In one Boro was singing a song called "John and his car" and basically the point of the song was that there was John whose car was called John. Mith and I tried to figure out if the guy had named the car after himself or the other way around.

In the second one Aganzir and I and our two RL friends were playing our tabletop RPG and Esty was our guest. We were drinking cider and offered her some, but she refused with the excuse "you are so young, and I'm married to a 59-year old man". Then she was showing us adorable photos of her family (there was at least one of a cute small kid sitting on an altar in a church).

In the last one I got a very long sms from an unknown number. It took me a long time to figure who had sent it, because it was signed as "Kelly Armstrong" and I had no idea who that was until I found a tiny post script saying "also known as Nerwen". Basically she was telling she was arranging an event for people who considered living abroad and asked if I could come there to tell them about my experiences. I was trying to say that although I'd love to see Australia, it's so far away it make little sense to go there for just one weekend considering the price of the tickets and the duration of the flights. She didn't quite catch my drift until I suggested she could ask my former music teacher, an Australian guy who worked as a teacher in Finland and is nowadays a professional photographer. I said: "Although I understand if it doesn't work out, he might not be in Australia at the moment and even if he is, he might not be from anywhere close to you since your country is quite big..."

Don't ask, my subconscious is weird. But my personal favourite is still from a few weeks ago (I forgot to post it then): I was on my summer cottage, walking in the forest. I saw a huge wolverine between the trees. "Oh my god!" I thought. "I never knew wolverines were so big!!!" I ran back to the cottage to tell everybody what I had seen, but once I arrived, Rune had joined the company, wearing a wolverine suit. "I guess that explains the size," I thought, a little annoyed that he had managed to fool me.

[Nerwen]

:confused:

*is scrutinizing her reflection for signs of Kelly-ness*

[Mithalwen]

Discussing song lyrics? About cars..normally Lommie's subconscious is trying to kill me in car related incendiary incidents. I do name my cars though. My longest serving one was Bertie (short for Roberto - it was a Fiat) current one, somewhat optimistically called Stiggy. My sister had minis called Molly and Elvis and her current Beetle is Maisie.

[Boromir88]

Hehe, I would create my own song called "John and his car" Chorus would be...

John and his car,
It's gold and covered in tar.

And try to make it work with an Eric Clapton tune. :rolleyes:

[blantyr]

Is your car any relation to Tar Phazon the Golden?

[Pitchwife]

Lommy's subconscious tries to kill everybody, sooner or later.:)

The other night I dreamed I checked the Downs and found that the King's Players RPG thread had been closed down because the latest plot development might inspire juvenile readers to commit arson and burglary:eek:. I had a heated discussion with pio and Fea and pleaded artistic liberty, but found myself preaching to deaf ears and being told again and again, "Sorry, but this is a family friendly site." (Surprisingly, neither Urwen nor the Tolkien Estate were involved.;)) The funny thing is that even while fuming and yelling through my keyboard I was thinking, "This is absurd! They wouldn't do that!"

[Mithalwen]

It succeeded with me (fortunately only in her subconscious) eventually....

[Galadriel55]

The other night I dreamed I checked the Downs and found that the King's Players RPG thread had been closed down because the latest plot development might inspire juvenile readers to commit arson and burglary:eek:.

You know what's funny? The other night I dreamed that me and Coldan are searching for Therian in Ingold's inn. I'm probably thinking about that game too much.

[Pitchwife]

You know what's funny? The other night I dreamed that me and Coldan are searching for Therian in Ingold's inn. I'm probably thinking about that game too much.
Me too, obviously. *imagines writing a scene wherein Therian's corpse is found in an empty wine barrel in Ingold's cellar*

[Thinlómien]

Mith - I seem to have traumatised you with my murderous subconscious! I'm sorry. :D
Pitch - that is hilarious!
Boro - I'm convinced you are far more inclined to be poetic than my subconscious. ;)
Nerwen - I know, it's confusing. You don't look like your name was Kelly, at all - and besides there's one other 'downer of that name anyway...

[Mithalwen]

I start twitching when I see white cars..

[Boromir88]

Is your car any relation to Tar Phazon the Golden?

Hahaha that just made my whole day. :D

[Bom Tombadillo]

I just had one . . . about Boromir111 (most definitely not Boromir88, though he had the same avatar) discussing Istari celibacy.

I used to have interesting dreams, not disgusting ones, you know.

[Boromir88]

Oh but Bom, Istari celibacy can be so interesting! Want to know all there is about it? :D

So, I had a nap in the afternoon a few days ago (this is not a surprise for me), but it is a bit of a surprise to have an afternoon nap dream. It was really short, all I remember is getting a text from Fea. Don't know what she said but my reply was "make sure Gandalf tells you where all the best make-up is at." I'm guessing, we were holding Gandalf hostage and trying to get vital information out of him?

[Aganzir]

I had a couple of Barrow-Downs dreams during Finlandmoot.

In the first one, Lommy accused Legate of being too clean and innocent. Legate protested and pointed at a white stain on the floor: "No I'm not! For example I know where that came from!"

In the other one, an unidentified male Downer tried to please me by playing Greenie's kantele.

I'm pretty sure there were others as well but can't remember them.

[Aganzir]

Last night I dreamed someone slit Oddwen's throat at a Tolkien convention because she had said the Lord of the Rings wasn't very good and questioned the fact that Tolkien had written Everyman. I didn't understand why everyone was shocked because I was so busy trying to play the cello.

I also had a dream The Barrow-Wight posted on I met a fellow BDer and criticised my moot post heavily because it was "way too long. And who do you think wants to see all those pictures?" I said something very nasty to him in return but can't remember what it was.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

This dream is quite dark, but it well summarizes my subconscious ultimate trust of Nogrod.

It was a school bus. Full. Someone shot an arrow at a very small child and pointed out that the boy had lost fifteen pounds, that he was dying, that his parents never should have let him live.

A man stood up to kill the boy. He pulled a syringe from a box above the driver. Nogrod stood and put himself between the man and the child.

They wrestled. Nogrod got the syringe from the man. The man dove for the little boy. Nogrod jammed the needle into the man's neck and released all of the poison into his blood.

You don't mess with children around Nogrod.

[Galadriel55]

Fea, your dream scares me. :eek::cool:

I had a really weird dream tonight. It was so weird because it was so... normal. No flying cars or anything like that.

It begun when Bethberry and another female Downer (I don't remember which) spontaneously came over to my house. I don't remember what we talked about, but then I felt hungry and went to the kitchen to get something to eat for all of us, and when I came back they were both gone.

Must be the effects of Finlandmoot. :rolleyes: :P

[Oddwen]

I just woke up from a dream wherin Aganzir and I were walking down the street of an unidentified European town. I believe we were part of a larger moot, and returning from an outing in the Great Outdoors.

We walked back to skip spence and Pitchwife's apartment (aw, young love), where we were staying, when I spotted a familiar face in the crowd.

"Isn't that The Barrow Wight?" I asked of Aganzir.

"I don't know, it could be," she replied.

So we go up and introduce ourselves. The Wight brusquely admits he doesn't know us, but agrees to join the moot for dinner. He stomps up the stairs to the apartment, and then we hear this voice from above:

"The Barrow Wight requires a coffin, a gallon of lighter fluid, some sharp sticks and coal."

Aganzir and I panic because we don't know where to find any of these things, and then I wake up.

I hope The Wighty enjoyed his dinner.

[Pitchwife]

:D

This reminds me - in one of those short nights during Finlandmoot, I dreamed that I woke up in the morning and somebody told me that Kath had committed suicide in the night. I vividly remember the feeling of total shock - I just couldn't understand why she would do this in the first place, and at a time like that, when we had all been having fun together and feeling good just a few hours before.

I trust you're alive and cheerful, Kath. Sorry, I must have caught the dream virus from Lommy.;)

And the other night I dreamed I was back in Helsinki, on the morning of my departure, waiting for the post office to open so I could buy some stamps. The post office looked none like it does in RL, it was much smaller and somehow in the same building as Nog's flat and besieged by a horde of bums in tartan suits who were trying to steal my cash, but I somehow managed to get behind their lines.

[Kath]

Despite my apparently suicidal tendencies I am glad that I still grace someone's dreams!

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

It's been some time since I've had a BD-related dream, and today I had some, probably having something to do with my mind still jumping back to Finlandmoot.

I was back in Nog's appartment together with Lommy and Greenie, the time of the year was basically "now", so it was like I just came back there for a visit. Suddenly a doorbell rang, we were like: "What is that?" and Nog wondered something about postmen or door-to-door dealers. I went to open the door, and there I saw the corridor in front of the door stuffed with the rest of the Finlandmooters, at least there was Esty and Pitch and Oddwen and probably others - the only thing I recall for sure is that Kath wasn't there, since she was elsewhere in Southern Europe. And as we all gazed at the incomers in total surprise, Esty stepped into the door and announced loudly: "Well, we are back!"
And it indeed turned out that they all agreed to come back to Finland together, since they had been thinking that there was much that we had not managed to do during their stay. The only thing I recall after that was that I was worried about Nog's time schedule, since he didn't have holiday anymore, and that I felt a bit uncomfortable since apparently all the people assumed that they will once again stay in his appartment, and he obviously wasn't expecting it this time.

[A Little Green]

[Estelyn Telcontar]

That must have been my clone* - I'll very likely be travelling in the opposite direction, though I'd love to rejoin all of you! :Merisu:


* I do hope no clones were harmed in the making of that dream! :eek:

[Oddwen]

Night before last I dreamed I made a road trip to meet the phantom, Sally, Mnemo and Fea. phanty kept turning things into a game of WW. Not just referencing it, literally every time I opened my eyes he was accusing me of werewolfery and urging everyone to vote for me. It was awkward to blink. Sally just poked me and giggled. Mnemo and Fea sat next to me all the time and glared daggers.

Last night I dreamed I was on a frantic search for something. I don't remember what it was, but I do remember that Diamond18 was trying to help but was busy with school.

Nothing like spending time with people to make you dream about...other people.

[Finduilas]

I had an interesting downs dream last night, but amusingly, in it a downer that is a girl, was a guy... slightly disturbing when I checked up on it this morning...

However, I think this dream was sparked because of all the fun you folks had at the Findlandmoot. Cause I dreamed you all came to visit Foley and I down here. There were lots of you, and it was quite fun. Downer's specifically noted were Oddwen, Kath, Elempi, Lhunardwen (is that her name? I don't know if I'm spelling it right...), and then others that weren't named in the dream. Oh, and Foley.

[littlemanpoet]

I don't know if I'm spelling it right...), and then others that weren't named in the dream. Oh, and Foley.What did we do?

[Finduilas]

What did we do?

Well, you headed up a game of Werewolf (in the bed of our truck...), but it was only a 5 player game, so I stepped out so someone else could play. So Foley played that with you and a few others (who were probably named in the dream, but by the time I woke up I didn't remember who they were).

Lhuna hooked elbows with me and we "took a turn around the yard", meeting Oddwen and Kath who were excitedly taking a walk (that's the best I can explain it. I think they may have been skipping...). Then a rabbit came from under the house and stole Lhuna's flashlight (which I have no idea why she had, as it was daylight), so she and I went under the house to get it back, and either she challenged one of them, or one of them challenged her, but whatever the case, they agreed to have a battle (all in fun), so I walked up front, around which time the dream ended.

Lovely, eh? I think Lhuna and I would get along capitally, as long as there are no rabbits around. :D

[littlemanpoet]

You have rabbits in your dreams? Now I'm worried. :D

But why would I head up a 5 player game of werewolf? The logistics would be a nightmare! Ah well, dreams are dreams.

[Inziladun]

So, a few nights ago I had a dream involving the sinister phantom.

For an unknown reason I was riding in a car with him in the area in which I live, and was allowing him to drive the vehicle. That alone is frightening enough. But then, I looked at the sky and saw a tornado wall cloud very near us. As I watched, a fairly large, Wedge Tornado dropped down. Immediately phantom turned the car straight toward it saying "We've gotta see this!". I grabbed the wheel and tried to pull it back the other way, saying "No! We'll get killed!". With phantom and I fighting for control of the car, and a few choice words on both parts, it ended.

I wonder if that's not some sort of odd subconscious symbolism relating to WW. ;)

[Galadriel55]

I'd totally see the tornado. :eek:

Findy, I thought that LMP, Lhuna and Foley would have turned your place into a Meadhall, not a wolfpack. :p

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I had a bit of an odd Downer dream!

While in my local shop I found Aganzir tearing up the floorboards. She said she needed to hide from Rune who had discovered her "secret!" Never found out what this secret was, but once the floorboards were up we found a wine cellar. Within said cellar we found the phantom. He was drunk and smashing the place up, complaining that no one takes him seriously any more.
The wine cellar turned out to be a tunnel that lead onto a beach near the coast of Finland. Aganzir explained that this was how she had got to Britain in the first place. Rune would never think to look for her at home, after all!

I guess we have to wonder what secret Rune uncovered and why it was so important for Aganzir to hide. I SMELL A CONSPIRACY!!!

[Aganzir]

Unfortunately I can't shed light on the secret Rune discovered because I have no clue about which one of them it is. However one thing is sure - if he did discover something he wasn't meant to know, I wouldn't hide. I'd hide him. Preferably in a sack.

In any case that's a brilliant dream, even the phantom part.

I also loved Fea's Nog dream and Pitch's Kath dream. Speaking of which, some time ago I had a dream I learned TGEW had died in mysterious circumstances so I travelled to Tennessee to find out what had happened to her and discovered she was alive but her parents had taken away her internet access. This is the lengths I would go to for people I care about.

[Pitchwife]

Last night or the night before I dreamed of attending a BD megamoot and playing a megagame of live WW with a huge crowd of people. It all took place in a huge kind of circus tent, and we were seated in tiers on tiers of benches stacked on top of each other, which made the place look like a cross between the Imperial Senate from Star Wars and the Klingon law court in Star Trek VI. Everybody was talking at the top of their voices at the same time, mostly about things completely unrelated to the game, which irked me because I was sure Mithalwen was a wolf but nobody would listen to me, and I don't think we ever got around to lynching anybody.

"Order! We shall have order...!"

Anyway, psychoanalysis says: Obviously you haven't come yet on terms with the subconscious frustration of not lynching the WWs you suspected at Finlandmoot.

[Pitchwife]

I guess psychoanalysis is right.

[Galadriel55]

In any case that's a brilliant dream, even the phantom part.

Even the phantom part?! I say especially the Phantom part! :p

[Inziladun]

I see a pattern of phantom invading dreams. He's obviously using some of that alien technology to influence us subconsciously. Down with you, fiend! :D

[Aganzir]

Even the phantom part?! I say especially the Phantom part! :p
The best part is the one that involved me. ;)

[Oddwen]

Good golly, I have been dreaming of moots for days. Last night I dreamed that the phantom, instead of starting the thread he's been promising, revived one of his old threads for a major moot. There were dozens of people there, and the thread was being updated blindingly fast. The in-jokes in the signatures and location lines were changing every ten minutes. Member SamwiseGamgee was apparently some sort of admin, and was editing pictures into everyone's profiles. Every avatar and pic was blingee (http://blingee.com/)'d into sparkly, distracting oblivion. SamwiseGamgee would not stop talking about Brinniel's attractive jeans or Encai, or something he called "The Violin Crew". Ithaeliel and Rikae were quadruple and septuple posting about how awesome everything was.

I was sad because I was two hours away but couldn't come because of work.

[Oddwen]

Last night I dreamed my Mom joined the Barrow-downs. She had apparently joined in '07, under the name "pannanna", but hadn't posted much until the past few days.

I saw this banned user pannanna under the online now list, and clicked their post history. Imagine my shock when I discover that this is my Mom, and she's talking about me, and she's calling newbies "b*tches", and started a really complicated game thread called "Attempted Rape" (:confused:). It had nothing to do with sexual assault of any kind, but was still offensive somehow. (the phantom posted on this thread, trying valiantly to save it because it had merits as a game despite the name I guess?) I called my Mom to ask her about it, and she was fuming that she was banned, because she had a bunch of song parodies she wanted to post.

Then The Barrow-Wight PMs me, saying how it's all well and good that I have family members on the site, but now I was under watch because my Mom had posted so much about me, and also because I insisted on posting on the phantom's troll thread. He revealed to me that "the phantom is going to be kicked out of Mirth, and I have taken his thread starting ability away".

It was very traumatizing, as I can't imagine my Mom even wanting to join the BDs, much less acting as she did in my dream.

[Oddwen]

I dreamed that Kath and Hookbill and I kidnapped a man. It was great fun and we had a great time until Kath spent several hours telling me just how mad I was. It must have been wintertime because I remember her in a bright red hat while waving her mittened hands around frantically.

I wish I could remember where we left our kidnappee...

[satansaloser2005]

Apparently Sally was innocent, but [my real name] was a wolf. Everyone was quite adamant about this, and despite my protests, I was killed and replaced with....myself.

[Folwren]

I had a dream last night with Elempi in it. I went to visit him under very averse situations and had to run and hide for my life at least once...

[littlemanpoet]

Were you hiding from Elempi?

[Folwren]

Nope. :)

[Aganzir]

Last night I dreamed someone I know murdered her boyfriend and Oddwen documented the act with a video camera, saying it was art. Then she and Diamond proceeded to shave their heads.

[Galadriel55]

A couple nights ago I dreamt that Elempi said that Saeryn is crazy, to which Foley replied that "Rowenna is worse". This escalated into a fora-wide feud. Pio told them to stop it or she will close down the whole RP section, and someone told her that only the BWH can do that. Esty suggested that the SMH should become it's own forum, separate from the Downs, because at this point people were quoting Foley and Elempi instead of Tolkien. I was trying to shush everyone up because I had something very important to say, though I don't remember what.

[littlemanpoet]

This. Is. Hilarious! :D :D

Maybe we ought to start this on the Scarburg discussion thread just for fun. :D

Beautiful, blood-red passionate art. What else could Diamond and I do but streamline ourselves into this brand new world?

[Aganzir]

Last night I had a dream somebody complimented Rune's style, saying it was exactly like Jacqueline Kennedy's.

[Oddwen]

Last night I dreamed that Legate, Eonwe and I killed The Squatter of Amon Rudh. It was jolly good fun.

[Inziladun]

If Squatter would like a personal bodyguard, I'm always open to a little extra cash. ;)

I should have been involved. Killing Squatter is the most fun I've ever had with a child!

[Eönwë]

I'm not sure how I feel about this... :p

[Galadriel55]

I'm not sure how I feel about this... :p

You should feel proud. You've just helped rid the neighbourhood of a tennant who doesn't pay his rents. :p

~~~

I don't know how I could have forgotten: I dreamed this a couple weeks or so ago. I opened the Downs homepage, just to see the whole formatting and structure completely different. It was still green on black, but all the sub-forums were re-named and relocated. I was trying to get to the Announcement forum to ask what the Udun is happening but couldn't even find it!

I guess it shows how computer-illiterate I am. :D

[Morsul the Dark]

I had my first Downs related dream in a while yesterday.

A large group of us were at a mall on a panel discussing relationships made online. I remember a few people answering questions then when someone asked me something I was giving a rather longwinded answer and Fea told me to shut up:rolleyes: Something about Facebook and the Downs and how they were interconnected...

Very odd...

[Galadriel55]

Last night I had a dream about ROTR and the attached Downer moot. Not the celebrations themselves, but the travelling to and from. The dream looked kind of like one of those news reports on TV - you get flashes of relevant information, and snippets of interviews, and you just "know" what's going on as if that voice is telling you the story...

Anyways, I dreamt that Rune wanted to meet the Downers flooding into Brittain, but he could not (or did not want to) go himself, so he asked (or more like just told it as a matter of fact) those comming to go via Copenhagen. And people went, with no more than a shrug of shoulders (and no fuss about extra expenses or changing flight tickets!). Bethberry had a cup of tea with him at the airport, and was quite content to go the long way for that. Legate stayed for day and just hung out with Rune. In an "interview" he said that it was definitely worth it, and "why not?". Kath came too, because she didn't want to be left out. There were others, too, but like in any news report they only show you a few of the participants, never all.

For some reason Rune always saw everyone separately, one-on-one, not as a group. And it was windy in Copenhagen.



It helps that I read the ROTR thread the night before... :rolleyes:

[Boromir88]

So, this is kind of a series of dreams to catch up on that seem, to my subconscious somehow all related. The first one was some time ago...

What I can remember is I tossed an object (it may have been a baseball) at Wilwa and since she missed it, it hit her in the face. I rushed over with an "awww! oh nos, wilwa!" and then suddenly there was Menel, but dream ends.

Next one was a few days ago...but is even hazier. I can remember in the kitchen Brinn chucking green beans at me (missed and went sailing over my head) and then Menel there too, but again, dream ended.

And last night, I dreamt I remembered these dreams and posted them on this thread, but they highly offended the B-W and he immediately banned me forever.

I need a dream interpretter, and I sure hope the last one wasn't a seerish foresight. :eek:

[Galadriel55]

I see a pattern emerging. There's always something being thrown (out). And there is Menel.

Hmm.

Cool dreams. :D But I do hope as well the last one wasn't seerish foresight!

[littlemanpoet]

What do the names Wilwaren and Brinn mean? Do you know them well?

These kinds of remembered dreams have more to do with fears we don't want to face than anything prophetic. Menelmacar is the warrior hero. He comes to the rescue twice. That's interesting.

Well, I've met both in real life at a few moots, so I'd say yes...or well enough. And nothing that would cause me to want to hit either in the face with objects. Nor can I think of doing anything that would make one of them want to throw frozen foods at my head. :p

Menelmacar is interesting...but I'm not sure I needed saving, at least not from Wilwa and Brinn.

[littlemanpoet]

What does Menel do when he comes on the scene?

If the dream quits before he does anything - I've done this - get yourself into that state of mind where you're imagining yourself back in the dream and let it continue - continue the dream - awake - and see what happens. You may be surprised. But you gotta be honest with yourself and let it play out "real", if you know what I mean. The human brain is an amazing thing.

[Meneltarmacil]

I just wish Boro would stop avoiding me.

[Galadriel55]

A few nights ago I had a dream involving a few Downers, including Mithalwen, and a collapsing house. It's quite hazy now, and all I remember is that I thought Mith was a fake Mith because she was not acting like Mith at all. Oh, and a house was collapsing.

[Pitchwife]

Didn't I say Mith was a wolf 32 posts on this thread ago? Glad you finally see it.

Also, I recently dreamed I met Nog on the campus of Mayence University (where I work), and it turned out he was staying as a guest lecturer for the semester. (No idea what he was going to teach, but my guess would be lycanthropology.;))

[Galadriel55]

Did you suspect her because she was all bossy and thephantom? ;)

(seriously, thephantom should be added to the dictionary as an adjective :p)

Oh, and Nog was probably lecturing about proper Day One performances. :smokin: :P

[Pitchwife]

(seriously, thephantom should be added to the dictionary as an adjective :p)

Now that would be really thephantom!

[Galadriel55]

A few nights ago I kept waking up and stuff and it was totally not thephantom, but on the good side I had a whole 2 BD-related dreams in one night.

The first one is as follows. I dreamt that Menel was judging a round of Taters to Taters and I won because he said something along the lines of "I think G55's word is funny". I don't know how he knew which word is my word, since I don't think I knew myself. And Boro didn't mind, and so I won. Yay.

The second one was about this Downer mini-moot. There were Boro, wilwa, Glirdy, and myself. We were sitting and talking in a house that doesn't belong to either of us (if anyone is wondering it was a dimly lit living room empty of everything except a bunch of smelly couches and this weird-looking table, and I have no idea whose it is) and eating grapes. Then the grapes ran out. Boro went somewhere. And wilwa and Glirdy started talking about something I didn't know, understand, or be a part of, and I started feeling rather bored and out of place. Yeah.

At least your subconscious knew what I do when bored and out of place? Casually slip out, bolt, and go somewhere else. :p

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Last night I dreamed that I was hosting a Eurovision party for a bunch of Downers. I don't remember many details, except that Kath performed an a capella version of "Waterloo".

[Galadriel55]

Yes, it is about a Downer moot. This time a pretty big moot. I dunno where it is, though.


So I arrive at that foreign place and find the right (hotel-y) building where everyone is supposed to lodge for the moot. I find our "room". It's actually the size of a huge apartment with a few bedrooms, and we all live in it. It's the middle of the night, so I find my bed and go to sleep.

When I wake up I find out that I am sharing a room with Greenie, who sleeps on the opposite side of it in her own bed. She is just getting up and she does not see me, because she is busy looking for some clothes to change into. So I come up to her from behind, put my hands over her eyes, and ask, "Guess who?" She squeaks "Galadrieeeeel?", because apparanty she did not know that I came the night before. I say, "Yes, and I am also wearing a green cardigan!" (I know not why we were talking about cardigans when we really were reffering to nightgowns) Now that makes Greenie very excited, because she loves the colour green and she loves nightgowns and she especially love green nightgowns. So we go to the kitchen and sit down together and discuss bed clothes. I also find out from Greenie that I am one of the first Downers to be there. That morning there were herself, Nog, and perhaps a couple others I can't recall right now.


Now, for your information, I do not close people's eyes and say "guess who", and "cardigans" is not part of my active vocabulary. But I do have a green nightgown, and, coincidentally - or not - I wore it the night I had this dream.


So anyways, after Greenie and I discussed nightclothes, mooters, life, and everything, we got dressed, met the people who were already there, and greeted some new arivals (among which were Rune and Legate). At one point Eomer and Cailin arrived with lots of bags and a little cute son of theirs. Apparently Cailin is actually my mother's cousin who lives in Isreal (she really has a cousin there, just she's not Cailin). So my mother, who magically appears there, tries to talk to them in Hebrew, and ends up getting all the grammar wrong because she only knows a few words and no grammar. I correct her, and Cailin seems very pleased to know that I know some Hebrew.

However, Cailin and Eomer are upset that there is not enough chocolate milk. It is an essential part of the toddler's diet and no one at all can survive without it. We all calm them down, and with a collective effort produce a huge cask of brown sweet liquid. Cailin is very picky when it comes to chocolate milk, so she was not extatic, but she stopped frowning. I must tell you now that the cask looked more like something that could contain laundry detergent, but it looked like chocolate milk, and smelled like chocolate milk, and even tasted like it...

So finally most of us have arrived, the chocolate milk got sorted out, and it's supper time. There is a very long table with all kinds of food, and we sit around. As we eat, I find I am very concerned that I have difficulty recognizing who is which Downer for most of them. And there is a person sitting across from me who I don't know at all, and this bothers me immensely. I am convinced that he is somehow Saucy, but in the back of my mind something is telling me that he looks way too different from the photo-Sauce, and he looks more like a teenager than an adult. So in my head I am shuffling through Downers, trying to figure out who the hell this person can be.




I wish I made that up. If I did, it would at least be a tribute to my imagination. As it is, all this says is that I'm just waaaaay too obsessed with Downer moots.

[Oddwen]

You should come to the next one, then. ;) And bring some chocolate milk!

Sometime before Britmoot I had a dream where Rune and Diamond18 and I were in a race for something. Rune was in the lead and looking back and laughing at us, but Diamond found some sort of power boost and won.

That corresponds surprisingly well with my motto: If you cannot gloat, what is the point of winning?

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Yesterday morning I had a dream involving Nog, Agan, Lommy, and Greenie. The two main players in my dream were Nog and Agan, though. I think that we were on some sort of adventure, but I can't be sure.

Aganzir stalks me in my dreams and lives somewhere in my mind. I seem to be always having dreams of her. I seem to dream of her a lot. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing...

[Galadriel55]

Tonight I had a most peculiar dream. Squatter and I were standing to either side of this big official-looking thing from which stuff is read - a kind of podium, I suppose, but it's way too big and tall - and we are in a competition of cryptic clue solving. We listen to the clue once. It is about some sacks of grain. We listen to it a second time. Squatter, in order to listen even more attentively (since speech is silver, silence is golden) puts a sack over his head, apparently to prevent himself from speaking.



It's weird that I have so many dreams now, both BD and not. I usually don't have any dreams, especially not BD dreams. :confused:

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I haven't had this many barrow-downs related dreams since 2007... (It should be said that I have had quite a few the last few weeks, mostly staring Kath and Squatter, but that I have no coherent memory of what happened in them)

Luckily I do remember the dream from lat night, and it involves people not often found in my dreams.

The dream took place far in the future, in Birmingham, and I was standing on the top of some scaffolding many hundred meters above ground. The only way to get to the top, was by a very fragile metal latter. Anyways, as I was standing there I was joined by Sally, Shasta and Unidentified Downer(male). Naturally we all began talking about board games, and while we were doing so I got the impression that Sally and UD were in fact a couple, even though nothing was said on the matter. Eventually we saw a person approaching, climbing the latter, it turned out to be Fea, and for some reason she was carrying a cat on her shoulders. It was at this point everybody except me started talking about Swedish grammar, something that rather pussled me. I could gather that Fea had learned her self a bit of Swedish and were now passing the knowledge on. After a brief talk about the extend of her Swedish skills, we ended up in a rather heated exchange about which food aquavit goes best with.

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

I had this really strange dream where I was eating a giant 10x10 foot Cosmo brownie (Gir those who don't know, they're prepackaged brownies with little colored-candy bits sprinkled on top) and talking to my boyfriend, who was made out of BD posts, maily Palantir of Fortune posts and Paper Telephone posts. His face was the famous Naked Bard post... It was super strange...

[Aganzir]

Aganzir stalks me in my dreams and lives somewhere in my mind. I seem to be always having dreams of her. I seem to dream of her a lot. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing...
It's good. I like being in other people's dreams and living in their minds. Mwa ha.

Squatter, in order to listen even more attentively (since speech is silver, silence is golden) puts a sack over his head, apparently to prevent himself from speaking.
Hahaha I can totally imagine this. :D

Just so my post wouldn't only be commenting on other people's old dreams, I'll also share one I had a few nights ago. Rune was James Bond and I was going up with him in a lift. We were in a weird hotel, and some of the corridors were flooded.

I also had a dream I slept with Lommy. She was good.

[Galadriel55]

I had a weird dream today about my assignment and random non-BD-related stuff, but it was all started with Lalwende posting a link to a song here, and that song actually has legit lyrics, and it's also in Romanian and Russian - and of course English - and in other languages as well.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I also had a dream I slept with Lommy. She was good.

Agan, your constant attempts to make 'Barrow Downs Slash Fan Fiction' a thing are not going to work. :p

In other news,
Last night I had a dream in which A Little Green, Pomegranate, Legate, Aganzir and I were running away from an angry dragon. I think it was angry about some insulting anti-dragon things A Little Green had said on Facebook. But soon we decided to tame the dragon and teach it to sing Morrisey songs. It was beautiful. :D

[Galadriel55]

I really hope no talking donkeys were involved!


My dream began with Zil messaging me that he saw me doing an experiment outside with my physics class when he was driving by. I was very pleased that he noticed. We decided to organize a moot - a Toronto moot. On the day of the moot all of us went to this circus place I go to and we were going to see a show, and at that moment my school band people began to arrive because apparently before the show we're performing for you guys, and after the performance we get to teach you how to play our instruments and you get to try them. And the best part is that my long-standing dream came true - our teachers finally allowed us to also try each other's instruments. The dream ended in a bunch of band talk. I gleaned one thing from this dream: Inzil, despite his picture on the photopage, actually has curly hair! He explained that he is heterozygous for curly hair and through some twist of alternate inheritance his curly genes didn't express themselves until after he took that photo.


I think that my subconscience mixed half my RL activities in this dream. The most important of which is, of course, the Downs.


And just why do I keep getting dreams about moots? :rolleyes: Because you all have to come to Toronto for a moot! At least then I'll be dreaming of existing moots and not have my subconscience make them up!

The thought of me with curly hair is extremely amusing. :D

And hey, I'd love to visit Toronto some time. My boss got to go to a conference there a few years back. Maybe I'll be able to finagle my way across the border at some point.

[Aganzir]

I dreamed I was playing in Loslote's werewolf game and being very offensive. I really miss WW.

[Thinlómien]

I had a dream Agan made a new account on the 'downs because she wanted to sort of start over incognito. Her username was something like TaurielLulu and her avvie was a blue-hued shot of Orlandolas photo-shopped into a blonde woman with a beard. All she basically posted was lists of her favourite characters (mostly Dwarves) and "OMG Fili is so awesome!!!" on several threads.

Now she is going to do that, I bet...

[Galadriel55]

Last night (almost said Night... :rolleyes:) I took a look at one of the WW classics, Elempi's Dueling Wizards. So this morning I wake up with a dream hazy in my head. I remember that I was a gifted at one point in the game because the Good Wizard made me one, and I was trying to figure stuff out, and a lot of WW confusion going on...

What's sad is that it's not a surprise to me that I'm dreaming WW stuff. On the bright side, at least it's not about a moot!

[Galadriel55]

I dreamt last night that I was in some moot (surprise! :rolleyes:), with Legate, the Finns, and some others who I can't recall. Legate was "modding" this Tolkien trivia game that had pictures as clues. One of the pictures was a mountain in blue and white colours, drawn in a very Tolkien style (I thought the Prof made it himself), and it said "tallest mountain". I shouted out "Everest!", but, of course, the answer was Taniquetil. Except that when Legate pronounced the word, it sounded like TanikvEtil, and I started discussing different pronunciations with him.

Um... yeah... how else should I pronounce it?

:)


And, I wonder what does it tell about my level of Tolkien-obsession when, upon imagining a situation when somebody is supposed to name the highest mountain and says "Everest" instead of "Taniquetil", I'm thinking "huh, what an embarassing situation... how could somebody even say that?"

[Galadriel55]

Um... yeah... how else should I pronounce it?

Wait... you're saying I actually dreamed it the way you say it?

I say a lot of things wrong, with the stress in the wrong place, so maybe that's actually right. But I say it TanIkwetil.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I've had a few BD dreams of late, so I will share them here. On this thread. Right now. You're welcome. Thank you. No problem. It was nothing. Don't mention it.

During NewFinland Moot I had a dream that I was very sick and so I wanted to go to the hospital, but Aganzir (whose house I was in) wouldn't let me know where the hospital was because she said I was mean to her. I asked Lommy (who also lived there) but she didn't know where it was. So I was stuck being sick. :(

When I returned from Finland I had a dream where I was still there and Lommy and A Little Green were preparing a birthday party for someone and were expecting me to get a present, but because I didn't know who it was for I didn't know what to get so I bought a tree - which turned out to be an ent, of course. A Little Green thought it was nice but Lommy said it was terrible and tried to burn it. It was very confusing.

And earlier today I wasn't feeling too well and had a short sleep wherein I dreamed I was in Nogrod's house and discovered that he and Greenie were planning to send Aganzir to New Zealand so she could replace Fili in the movies. But this would involve kidnapping her and putting her in a box, so ALG and I had to find a box that was big enough. I don't think we succeeded.

Your subconscious is is clearly lying to you. Agan wouldn't need to be forced in a box to be a dwarf. She would go do it willingly! :D

No doubt! Though we might have to get Dean O'Gorman to replace Agan in Finland, though. Nobody will notice!!

[Galadriel55]

A couple days ago I had a dream involving Inzil, Lommy, and possibly Kitanna. I can't for my life remember what was going on, but it had more to do with just talking/arguing than actions.

And today as I snoozed on the bus I had a very brief one about Hookbill. He came into my chemistry classroom, started giggling like a lunatic, and we were trying to figure something out. In the end it was decided that he needs to take an aspirin. The end.

[Aganzir]

Your subconscious is is clearly lying to you. Agan wouldn't need to be forced in a box to be a dwarf. She would go do it willingly! :D
You know me too well, love. :p

I had a dream I received a vast number of rep points overnight and got an email saying 'Congratulations! You are now a Guest of Galadriel in Lórien!'

[Inziladun]

Last night I had a dream that Agan was a work colleague and we were talking shop in an airport. She was complaining about the time-difference and being exhausted, though, so I guess she worked with me but still lived in Finland. ;)

[Aganzir]

Yay now I too can eat donuts at a police station while I play werewolf! :D :p

[Inziladun]

Now that's a good time. ;)

[Oddwen]

While in NewFinlandMoot, I had several dreams where Downers were licking me to claim me as their own. I remember Aganzir as well as Greenie and a mysterious giant dog crawling on the floor quickly and sneakily to lick me on the face while I was lying in bed.

I also dreamed we were driving to an old lady's house to help clean out her basement, but it turned out to be Erebor, so we drove away as quickly as we could. Hookbill was driving, and he nearly crashed the van as he leaned over to lick me.

[Thinlómien]

I had weird BD dreams in Prague last week...

1) Sally came to Premiere Moot (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=679032&postcount=1187) dressed up as Théodred's wife.

2) We were having a small moot in Finland. I had a pile of clean clothes in my room and Agan started rummaging through it. "What on earth is this?!" she exclaimed when she saw my newly bought knickers. I was as shocked as she was, for I had thought I had bought some relatively normal knickers with black and white stripes. What Agan was holding, however, was knickers with black and white stripes adorned with colourful glitter on the back side. The front side was a lot weirder. There was a picture of a dwarf who looked like Balin (a mixture of how he looks like in the PJ movie and how he looks like in the cartoon) and there was the text "Bifur". Even worse was the belt (!) the knickers had, which proudly displayed a badge saying "LOL". Hookbill thought the knickers were awesome and put them on his head and started using them as a hat. I said he could keep them.

[A Little Green]

Lommy!!!!! :D:D:D

Congrats for killing me.

[Aganzir]

While in NewFinlandMoot, I had several dreams where Downers were licking me to claim me as their own. I remember Aganzir as well as Greenie and a mysterious giant dog crawling on the floor quickly and sneakily to lick me on the face while I was lying in bed.

I also dreamed we were driving to an old lady's house to help clean out her basement, but it turned out to be Erebor, so we drove away as quickly as we could. Hookbill was driving, and he nearly crashed the van as he leaned over to lick me.
Did I ever tell you this is one of the funniest dreams I've heard in a long while? :D *licks Oddie*

As for Lommy... what do you think you'll get for your birthday now? :D
Hookbill thought the knickers were awesome and put them on his head and started using them as a hat. I said he could keep them.
I want to see this happening. :D

That was hilarious though!

I had a dream a bunch of people, including my best friend and her more muscular half, came to pick me up one night in a car. Hookbill's brother was the driver. They took me to my summer cottage to fix the sauna roof with James Nesbitt. It was great fun.

You say that like it would be a strange thing to do. Seems perfectly normal to me.

: I dreamed I saw the rest of The Hobbit trilogy. It may have been the second part, or both together, I don't remember.

I was reading reviews on the BDs, and Legate had a very long review and claimed he was "spitting mad", but Rikae said she was thrilled, especially with the part about the Silmarils at the end.

I remember Thranduil being a huge disappointment. There wasn't a party in sight, and all he really did was lean way over a cliff and not fall over.

Apparently the prisoner's cells in Mirkwood were flooding, so Thrandy and Legolas went down to do some transferring, and they walk into the largest one and are like "It's time to move you...your majesty." And then there's this stupid zoom-in on...Tauriel. BAM.

Then at the end of the Battle of Five Armies, Thorin has been stung by Shelob and is slowly being poisoned. The poison will turn him evil, so he begs Bilbo to kill him. I'm starting to cry, because I know what's coming, and Kili is getting a pillow for his Uncle's head and Fili is handing him a fresh-baked loaf of his favorite bread. Such good nephews. I have to leave the theater for a moment at this time, and I beg them to pause it, but they don't.

By the time I get back, Fili and Kili are dead, they're taking Thorin away in the ambulance, and Robert Baratheon and the Kings of Summer have come to turn the tides of the battle.

Then at the end Gandalf invents eyeglasses. There are twelve Silmarils and they are given out by some sort of magical gumball machine. Then Gandalf turns to the screen and the rest of the movie turns into an advertisement for laser eye surgery, and how all twelve Silmarils ended up in the eye of someone who didn't really see very well.

I'll need to remember to refer to this dream in a year, when/if I watch the 2nd part of the movie. :D

That's a crime (http://memeorama.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/angry-school-boy-meme.jpg) in and of itself.
I would have generally felt my subconscious had utterly betrayed me by that point, by not pushing him over the cliff.

[A Little Green]

I dreamed that the NewFinland Moot crew was preparing to set off for a month-long road trip. We were trying to get everything packed, but chaos reigned: Squatter, dressed in a tight-fitting red jacket, was dealing out souvenir chocolates and trying to translate their names into Finnish; Hookbill managed to hang Lommy's old teddy bear from a lamp without anyone noticing (though when we did, it was not very hard to guess who was behind it); and Oddwen revealed that she was actually from Norway and confused us further by speaking Norwegian. Also, I was worried that I'd forget my pocket handkerchief.

Just tell me which is Lommy's teddy bear and I'm sure some of this will come true. :p

I had a dream last night that I was in Finland and we were filming a Barrow Downs sit-com.
I don't remember much besides Aganzir saying, "You're not going to William Worm your way out of this situation!" to Lommy an awful lot. I suspect she was trying to make her wear a beard or something.
There was a studio audience which probably wasn't good for Agan and Lommy's flat!!

[Galadriel55]

I had two dreams tonight.

In the first dream I saved up $1000, and announced to my parents that I'm going to Finland for a moot next summer. They approved. My mother bought me fancy clothes to wear on the trip. Then my parents started looking at the hotel prices, and they were 10,000 euro and up. Therefore my parent's support deflated somewhat. (why on earth would I need a hotel I don't know, since all the mooters just seem to exploit the Finns' hospitality :p). Anyways, the verdict was that I am to fly to Finland for a few minutes to se how it goes, and maybe meanwhile they'll figure something out about the hotel. So I arrive in Finland, and me, Agan, Lommy, and Oddwen (who was also visiting) all knelt on a blanket and looked up at the sky searching for Planet Earth, forgetting that we're still on it. Endeth Dream One.

In my second dream I was skyping with Saruman. He was insane, and looked like a cartoonized insane old man. For some reason I decided to give him mental therapy. At first he kept saying that he has to kill Gandalf, and I was telling him that he doesn't have to kill Gandalf (each emphasized word was accompanied by a smash of the keyboard). Then I noticed that on his head he had a weird accessory, kind of like two balloons connected together. One was yellow and one was blue. If you press on the yellow, most of the air goes into the blue, and vice versa. So I tell him that when it's daytime, the light is more than the dark, so he nods and makes the yellow larger. And when it's night... [repeat vice versa]. Then I tell him to make the blue one smaller without making the yellow bigger. So he does, but the yellow still becomes bigger. I tell him to reduce the yellow, and he does, but it's not the smallest yet. I keep shouting at him to make it smaller! the smallest! and he keeps tuning down both balloons until they are almost gone. I think my purpose was to make them disappear, which would make him sane, but at the last moment I thought that he looks even less sane than he did before, and he's about to turn the baloons back up on full - but here endeth Dream Two. And at the end of it for some reason I was shouting at him in Hebrew.


I am completely bonkers. :D

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I had a dream last night about a moot. Aganzir had posted on the Downs about a recent moot and what it was like. At the end of her post she made a note for me. It was about ticket prices to Finland or a related subject, in any case it was something that would have been better to put in a PM. She also had made some comment directed toward me that included information that she was privvy to, but I did not want to make public. I was (a) quite embarrassed that she had let everyone know about whatever it was and (b) baffled that she decided to share something with me that was very off-topic from the rest of her post. Ah, my subconscious. :rolleyes:

[Aganzir]

I am completely bonkers.
Yes you are but those dreams are brilliant! Come visit, we can skype with Saruman! :D

Oh TGEW, you must come too, I'll buy the oranges so you can bathe in their juice, just like home! *nudge nudge wink wink* ;) :Merisu:

[Kitanna]

I had a dream last night that Bêthberry made a facebook event for a midwest-moot and put me in charge. I kept insisting this was a bad idea because when I'm in charge it ends with everyone drunk on vodka and rum eating cheese and crackers. I'm pretty sure I even cried, but she refused to be swayed by my tears, judging them inadequate for getting out of planning a moot.

I woke up feeling miserable and a little mad at Bêthberry. And then I thought a midwest-moot would be fun, but I'd need to bribe someone to plan it because it'll end in drunk BDers stuffed on crackers and cheese if I do.

Me, me made a Downer miserable? :Merisu:

It's simple. Delegate, delegate, delegate. I've already shown you that in your dream. :D

Have all the European Downers who are coming bring their fine European cheeses. And get them to bring which board game each wants to inflict on the rest of us. Threaten to take them to a hockey game if they don't. Promise them a car chase out of Blues Brothers and then send them off on an adventure to watch the fog come in on little cat feet. If there's as much drinking and cheese as you think might happen, it should be easy to see those cat feet.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

If you ever come to Chicago we'll get good and drunk and eat cheese with crackers.

Many of my friends have told me that I need to stop only going to New York and Boston on my US trips and start visiting Chicago... I can sense the pressure is mounting, I might just have to include Chicago on my next trip.

I just woke up from another dream, which was semi-ww and semi-real.

skipwolf was a very clever wolf, and he drew unsuspecting Lommyordo to his side. Nogrod was furious, and he knew skip for what he was, and wanted to ++slay him. He approached skip with a sword, but skip laughed in his face and ++threw the ball back in his court, and the trusting Lommy took skip's side. Chaos reined - everyone threw accusations, and no one got more than 2-3 votes, though there were many people (I think sally was killed and there was lots of blood). Then the cunning skip grabbed Lommy and they eloped to Guelph (a city in Ontario), and only then did Lommy begin to suspect something in him, and she regretted their flight. In the meantime, Nog was organizing a quest to save the maiden in distress and to defeat the evil wolf.

It was all very romantic. There were lots of swords.

Guelph? Guelph? What did you ingest before going to bed?

(The only bar fight I've ever been involved in occurred in Guelph, when we were on a pub run from Waterloo. *coughs*)

[Galadriel55]

I may or may not have been thinking about med school. I'm not sure if that's relevant or not, because Guelph is known for it's vet school.

A bit random choice of city, though.

A week ago I dreamt that TeaGEW made her first ever grandfather clock out of metal gears and wooden planks. It was bigger than a hobbit in size. She then carves some simple ornaments on the front. Along came phantom the inquisitor and announced that he will be chacking that clock, and if there is even the smallest fault in it the entire community will pay the price, which scared TeaGEW out of her wits.

I had another dream today. I was in Europe, and some semi-legendary secret people gave me a coin that's also a magnet. The thing about that coin was that it can double whenever you give it to someone who doesn't have it yet, so if you give them the coin and take it back immediately, you both have one. And the duplicate coins also have this feature. So I started giving out coins to the people I knew were good people (who really live in Toronto but were doing stuff in Europe for some reason), and I began travelling around. So I came to Brittain, and I met Mithalwen to whom I gave a copy of the coin and told her the secret behind it. We started touring around giving out duplicate coins together. For some reason there was this list that we had, like a bank statement, of every "transaction" that we made with the coins. I suppose word of our doings reached some person of authority in London, because we received a letter from him demanding to submit to him all the coins that we possess and give the names of all the people that we gave coins to. We held council and refused to do that, and whited out all the information on our transaction list (we said that fire is better, but we did not have matches - but had white-out). For her disobedience Mithalwen was exiled into one of the colonies. When we looked at the address of where she was going to live (she didn't get to pick), it turned out she would be living some 15 minutes' walk from my house! The story ends with both of us coming here and me accompanying Mith to her new place.


I have already deported skip and Lommy to Guelph, now I move Mithalwen to Toronto. My subconscience must be predicting a wave of immigration from Europe to Canada. :D

[Morsul the Dark]

Ok... I had a dream where I went to the Barrow Downs Pub...

Yeah, apparently Barrow-Wight was renting out a pub. I was discussing worldly matters with Dun. I think the weirdest part is I don't recall even seeing a picture of Dun So I had some random person as a stand in. Then Hookbill came in and we discussed Dr. Who. We then went next door and had some pizza. When we came back Fea had moved all the tables and chairs. Then it was off to the bar to find some drinks which apparently weren't there because The Barrow-Wight was renting the place but not actually using it as a working pub just a place for Downers to hang out...

As long as the BD Pub (let's call it the Wingéd Balrog ;)) has Guinness on tap, I'll be there.

You've got me there. When people say those kinds of things to me, or when that happens, I often feel sick. I escalate feeling bad into full blown illness sometimes. That probably would scare me out of my wits. The phantom is a pretty intimidating guy after all.

[Aganzir]

I had a dream I was walking my dog when Kuruharan passed me by. I somehow recognised him by his avatar, though I don't know how. He was short, (long) bearded and really hot, and he wore an armour.

[Galadriel55]

I had a dream where I managed to finally get out of Toronto to a place with Downers. I believe it was somewhere in the States, south of Toronto. TeaGEW and Agan were there, and some other Downers made the trip, so it was a kind of minimoot. TeaGEW and I went to see the town, or something, because we were gone for the day. When we came back Agan informed us that Squatter and Rune spontaneously came there just to meet us. Since the trip was unexpected they could only come for a day, and therefore had to leave again before we came back. We felt really bad about it.

Then it was evening time, and all the Downers, as well as several people from RL and some who I don't know from anywhere sat around the table. We were waiting for supper, and to pass time I proposed a game of WW. We briefly explained the rules to the non-Downers. We decided we will have 2 wolves, a cobbler, a Seer, and a Ranger. I took out a sheet of paper and started writing out names with roles next to them. Then I tore the paper into strips (each one had one name and one role) and handed them out to people (ask my subconscience why I had to go through that illogical role selection process), which kinda made me the mod. I remember that Legate, Boro, and Agan had special roles (I'm quite certain that Boro was a wolf), and almost all of the non-Downers were ordos.


I'm dreaming about moots again. :rolleyes: Would anyone please slap some sense into my subconscience? :rolleyes:

[Aganzir]

*places pillows around G55's head so nobody can slap her*

I had a dream last night in which I laced a pizza with weed and fed it to Oddwen, Eomer, and Hookbill. I was trying to convince them that hanging out with me is a good idea. All the while we were trying to hide the pizza from the principle of my high school.

It seems whenever BDers make appearances in my dreams I am always trying to get them drunk or high. So be warned anyone headed to my neck of the woods.

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

I had a particularly fitful rest last night, no doubt from a late night cuppa joe. Finally got to sleep an hour before I was due to roll out of bed, still I woke up again prior to my alarm and realized I had been dreaming that I had seriously furry feet. Positively luxuriantly so. And very dark as well. Well, despite my alter ego here on the downs, that was alarm enough to get the old feet out bed this morning! Wouldn't wish that sort of dream on anyone! Brghk! :p

[the phantom]

I had a fantastic dream two nights ago! It was one of those where I was barely asleep (or deeply asleep & just came out quick) and a touch ill and I woke immediately after, thus it is rich in detail, and more than a little odd. Upon waking I scribbled down as much as I could remember (it was slipping from me even as I tried to recall it), and then went back to sleep, grinning at the thought of posting it here.

And here it is:

Aganzir was carrying on, obsessing about beards per usual. I recall her constantly posting links on Facebook to her favorite beard pictures, and everyone was a mix of annoyed and amused.

Two years later (I'm not certain how the time passed) I found myself in Finland, and decided I would visit Maria, as no one had actually seen her for quite some time. She answered the door promptly and was happy to see me, and invited me in to see various fake beards she had ordered online.

After waving a few furry things in my face, she asked what I was doing in Finland. I informed her I was there for a party (no idea what for), and wide-eyed she asked me what the date was. I told her (can't remember specifically, merely that it amounted to two years later than the start of the dream), and suddenly she collapsed to the floor and held her head, saying something along the lines of, "No, no! It can't be!"

In real life I would have no clue what was the matter, but my dream-self was quite insightful, and knew the dilemma she wrestled with. She had for the first time realized that she had been shut up in her house looking at beards for two whole years! In her mind she had two options-
1) Admit that she had absolutely flushed two years of her life.
This truth was too harsh for her to handle, thus she opted for-
2) Convince herself that it was all worth it, and thrust herself deeper into the world of beards.

Some more time passed (perhaps a year?), and I was visiting Maria again. She was showing me all she had accomplished- starting beard-fan websites, beard fan-clubs, starting a beard awards show, etc. In real life I would have found this both unsettling and hilarious, but in my dream I was quite impressed, and proud that she had accomplished so much, especially as she credited much of her efforts to my previous visit.

A bit later (who knows when?) we were in a dressing room preparing for her to speak at some sort of beard awards show where she was receiving an award for her efforts, and I noticed she didn't look too pleased. It turns out she was still haunted by the possibility that she was wasting her life, and she was considering in her speech recommending that all of the avid beard-fans devote themselves to something more serious and not repeat her mistake.

Overcome by pity for my friend (who had started to cry), I embraced her and began making various supportive comments, and she then asked me to promise that I would help her break the hold that beards had on her life. I can't recall precisely what was said, except I remember her stating that "Beards are like a drug to me".

After a bit I notice that her hand has seemingly of its own accord started stroking my beard (which I grew longer in honor of the awards show apparently). I took her hand and moved it away from my beard and told her, "You need to take control!" She suddenly looked up at me, face red and eyes puffy from crying, but smiling insanely, and said, "No, I need to take your beard!"

I called for the bodyguards outside her room (why did she have them?) as I kept her from breaking loose, knowing full well she intended to cut off my head and mount it on the wall. And only now did I notice she had an entire wall full of mounted dwarf heads (you'd think that would've caught my eye sooner).

My last snippet of dream saw her being hauled away, and me thinking how I should have helped her sooner, before she sunk to such depths.

When I woke, I was feeling quite sad for her, but after a few seconds of reflection I realized that in fact the whole thing was quite funny. :D

[Aganzir]

Ahahahahahahaha

You had me laughing out loud by the end. :D:D:D

This is amazing - but although I really like beards, I can't see it getting quite that bad.

However, I kept hoping I would grow a real beard before the dream was over. Even if that wasn't the case, it reminds me of a dream I had a few weeks ago and posted on Facebook:
I dreamed women could grow a beard, only it was something really inappropriate, like armpit hair times ten. And then I ran into a girl with a beautifully plaited long beard, and we ended up chatting.
"Of course people stare," she said, "but it's worse if you only have stubble because they think you don't take care of yourself. When it's this long, they can tell you do it on purpose and you don't give a damn. You should try it."
I knew growing out my beard would be a huge step, but I decided to give it a try because suddenly shaving began to seem absurd. Best dream ever.

[Galadriel55]

Haha! Nice dream, phantom!

I had several dreams which I clean forgot after I woke up, aside from the fact that I know they are Downs dreams. It's a bit weird, but every time I wake up with a dream the first thing I think is "Is it a Downs dream?". It got to the point when I answer that question before I even wake up. :D

And today I finally remembered my dream. For some reason a random assortment of people were being divided into partners if not for life, then for a very long time at least. I'm not sure what for, but it was very serious. I can't remember who was Agan's partner, but she was quite happy. Then Eonwe's name was announced by whoever was calling the names into the mic, and he was partnered with Davos (a guy from A Song of Ice and Fire). He protested that he's not homosexual and would prefer to be partnered with someone of the opposite gender; evidently he took the whole thing to be some massive arranged marriage thing. He was refused, though, and he was quite furious and horrified. I was there too, but I woke up before I was partnered.

Poor Steve. :Merisu:

[Aganzir]

I love that! :D Eönwë and Davos, hahaha!

[Galadriel55]

My dream began as one of what I call my morning hallucinations. I tend to put my alarm on snooze and lie in bed half-awake for about 15 minutes before I get up, often without even opening my eyes to put the alarm on pause, which causes all sorts of half-dream half-awake stuff in my brain. Once I dreamt that way that I was a hunter in ww, and I found out that I could win the game if I only pressed the button on my phone (which has the alarm) only when certain numbers appeared, and instead of normal times I kept seeing stuff like 13327952.73. I don't know what I did to the phone, but I was sure I was winning the game, and I obviously overslept. Badly.

So this is not always good. But today was a fun dream. And I awoke on time.

First, in my dream I knew suddenly that when my phone rings this way it means Shelob is close. It worked kind of like Sting glows when orcs are near. Then I saw Agan. Her hair was very messy. She warned me about Shelob, and I said I knew. We saw a very disappointing spider rush by, and the Shelob part was over. (If you were expecting a spider nightmare, be disappointed.)

Then we were somehow transported to Agan's apartment, where she lived with Greenie. She and I started arguing passionately over something, and she was being offensive. Then we decided to put aside our differences, and I asked Agan if I could post on the Downs. For some reason the computer was unavailable, so I had to post from Agan's mobile device. Well, not exactly. It looked like one, but it wasn't a phone. I couldn't figure out how to use the keyboard (typical me :rolleyes:), and Agan got very annoyed. "Look," she said, "if you want to press backspace, it's this button," (points to a blank button), "and this one is enter, and if you press them together it's shift." Well, in my defense, I just saw 2 blank white buttons, so how was I supposed to know how to use them? I was typing from Agan's account, so I said something like "Hi everyone, this is [insert my username], and I'm posting from Agan's place!!!" For some reason my username was not G55 but something very random that does not contain capital letters, like "parrot" or "lizzard".

Greenie came in then, said hi, grabbed her purse, and rushed out again with apologies, because she was late for work and couldn't stay to chat with us.

Then we saw a comercial on TV that had something to do with packing trunks, and we (or at least I) realized that we need to pack, and we packed so many trunks that they piled up almost to the ceiling. We both were tired from piling all those trunks, so we sat on some couches.

Then, for some reason, the setting changes again, and instead of sitting on a couch I am sitting on a desk with my work stuff scattered all over it, and I'm trying to sort out some RL work issues. My mother comes in and tells me to put my work away immediately and start studying for exams, but I tell her that I'm finished my history exam and that I even finished it early. And, lo and behold, my history exam papers are now lying on the desk above my work stuff. My mother seems satisfied and leaves. I don't know why, since at the time of my dream I still had my physics exam to write.

Anyways, not a very Downer ending for the dream, but Agan being offensive is very entertaining to think about when you're not actually trying to argue with her. :D

[Aganzir]

Aww sorry about being offensive! I don't live with Greenie any more (that sounds a lot like her, though), but even so you're welcome to my apartment any time you wish! :D Also you're right about my hair being a mess. I suppose that's what I get for being too lazy to brush it oftener than every third day.

Last night I had a dream Shasta announced he had got married! The lucky one was a handsome (I saw a picture) white-haired man of 65, with whom he'd secretly had an affair for five years.

Geez, first I pair Eonwe up with Davos, now you couple Shasta with an old man... What is the message that cosmos is sending through us regarding the single male population? :D:p

I used to have lots of dreams about Legate getting romantically involved with various (male) Downers, but haven't had any for a while.

I had a dream where I was shopping, only it turned out that the supermarket was in fact a film set. TORE then appeared, and explained that I was the star in his new reality/movie project... I don't remember much of what happened afterwards, but I think there was dancing.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I didn't have any 'Downs-related dream in a while, but today I had one. I was somewhere (it looked like some sort of a kitchen) with a few 'Downers (I remember Nogrod in particular, and then several others, but I don't know exactly - people like phantom or Boro, maybe Eomer).

The main thing happening was that Nilp suddenly walked into the room with a piece of paper in his hand, bowed to us and began "real-time commenting" an Arda Cup match (I don't recall which one), basically it was like that he was reading a report he had prepared to post at the 'Downs, but it was dramatized a lot and quite fun.

[Boromir88]

So, I had an exceptionally strange B-D dream the other night...

There were a bunch of fellow Downers in this theater...there had to be 4-5 full rows of us. I can remember Mac and Rikae, Form and Nienna, Fea, Lhuna, BB, Rune, Legate, Enca, Hookbill, Agan, Kath, Oddwen...and much more, all Downers.

We were all watching a performance about the forum...complete with all of our long running jokes about an uncloaking Gandalf, disco kings, forum trolls, and chat skwerlz. Everyone was laughing hysterically...then it got weird.

I left to get something to drink but dream sort of cuts to me returning to my seat and I'm being followed by this creepy little blonde hair girl. I'm convinced she's a physical manifestation of cancer and I'm freaking out she's here to give us all cancer, but I'm not sure if I'm just going mental as the only one who can see her, nor wanting to disturb the play about our website. But she wouldn't stop following me so I picked her up by the hair and tossed her down on the aisles...and I woke up.

[Thinlómien]

A week or so ago I had a dream that The Saucepan Man never left the 'downs but just registered with a new username and started posting with that - and actually, Morthoron has just been the second account of SPM all along. :eek: ;)

Yesterday I had a dream that I can't really remember anymore. I was reading in different languages, and I was trying to read in Danish. Rune was correcting me. According to dream-Rune, s sometimes makes a sh sound in Danish if some stressed or unstessed vowels line up in some order. You know, some weird complicated grammar. Also, his appearance kept switching back and forth between his real self and his Marx avatar.

I wish dream-Rune taught me how to read the o with the / through it. I never heard it pronounced aloud, so I still don't get the difference between that and the regular o.

[Boromir88]

Last night I had a dream I received some nice rep points from Squatter...I don't understand how it happened, but it's probably my dreams saying I've always sought the approval of Squatter. :p

I wrote a post in a thread talking about Middle-earth rivers, and one poster was griping about the enchanted river running through Mirkwood. All I said was

"smh for Mirkwood!"

And that post received a long rep from Squatter... about how I was so right because George Takei's social media fame has climbed so high, he's recognized as the leading authority in the Star Trek universe, and this has created some contention because Sulu was a relatively minor character compared to the others. And that somehow there was probably jealousy because I was the leading Middle-earth rivers expert. It made no sense, but it was a good dream. :D

I had a dream a few days ago that a whole bunch of newbies appeared because of the new Hobbit movies and we all had a big welcoming second breakfast (in person, I don't know what most of you look like, but somehow I knew who you all were when we were talking) and educated them about Arda. It was so beautiful. And partway through the party, the Fellowship arrived and Legolas was upset because we ran out of wine and Gimli got into an eating contest with Pippin and G55.

[Galadriel55]

I had a dream tonight that, as I'm mundanely reading through some posts here, I read Mith's post, and in that post she mentiones a special someone. And everybody, including myself, thought they've misread the post. Legate was the first one to respond; he spent three apologetic paragraphs basically saying "wait, what?". Everyone was so befuddled and :eek:-ed that someone created a special thread to try to figure out what's going on with Mith, and it was full of all sorts of crazy explanations (and all this happened just in the interval of Mith checking the Downs, which right away points to this being a dream). Then Mith was online, and she said that there's no typo, she's not kidnapped, etc., and she actually does have a sweetheart who lives in either Latvia or Lithuania (I forget which) and communicates with her by letter (not email, the physical kind).

So I've victimized Mith again. :(:Merisu:

I woud say so... basically your psyche thinks I am more likely to be kidnapped than have a relationship even if that relationship is really just a penfriend.... ouch

Actually, no... I'd say your relationship in the dream was slightly more romantic than just a pen friend. Like, seriously more romantic than a pen friend. But let's not get into the specifics. ;)

I didn't see this post until just now.

Pronouncing the Ø is difficult, it is a favorite passtime of the Danes to make foreigners say the phrase 'Rødgrød (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B8dgr%C3%B8d)med fløde'.

But here is a fun fact: 'Ø' is also a one letter word, meaning 'Island'. So is our equally amazing letter 'Å', which means 'Stream/Creek'.

I had a dream a Downer called Inzilbeth had to get married for whatever reason, so she proposed to Inziladun because their usernames were similar. I was hanging out with Inzil, who, unhappily married to her, related this story to me and also said he's taking weekly singing lessons in Costa Rica.

Then I went to pick apples and had to watch out for Deathberries which had infested the tree and killed you if you so much as touched one. I didn't think of it in the dream, but the phonetic resemblance to Bêthberry is remarkable.

Last night I dreamed a group of Downers got stranded on a desert island and decided to build a community there. When I arrived later by boat, Pitchwife was really excited about the car he was making out of wood and stone, Inzil was responsible for organising the food gathering parties (and collecting everybody's phone number, which he insisted on doing in fluent Swedish), and Boro was grumpy and wanted to be the boss.

I had a dream last night that Hookbill decided to fly out and visit me. Though he decided he could only come during my lunch break and that we needed to watch Bridget Jones's Diary right then because Darcy is so dreamy. I tried to get ready to return to work while letting him do his own thing, but he managed to eat all my food, scare my dog away, magically transport us to the library, and make me late. Then he left as quickly as he came.

[Galadriel55]

I had two BD dreams last night (woot!).

In the first one, I dreamed that we got a new icon as a part of the Downs update. It looked like --> (or rather like the arrow you get on Word when you type that, but the symbol disappears when I try to copy it here) and was called the Red Arrow. It was all the rage. Upon waking, I thought that we already have a Red Arrow symbol, as demonstrated at the top of this post, but having now checked it I realized that for whatever reason it's called "Eye".

My second dream was much more hazy. I was mooting in Finland (:rolleyes: :D) with the gathering of Downers currently there. It was very crazy and messed up. Everyone was going everywhere, nobody knew what's going on, nobody had any idea what the plan/schedule is. Hookbill and Greenie kept running past me to and from the kitchen, each trying to pack for their own event of the day that they were late for, but always forgetting to get everything - a phone, a snack, other oddities that for some reason are in the kitchen - and I was very annoyed at them because I had no clue where they're going and where I'm supposed to go and because I was tired of being stampeded over each time they realized they forgot something. All in all, there was a lot of running around the flat collecting unpacked items and yelling things like "I'm late for ___!" and bumping into each other.

[Galadriel55]

I had a dream this morning that Lottie came back to the RPG forum to write for Ginna in the Scarburg Meadhall thread. Ginna was engaged (or possibly already married) to Athanar, the eorl (who for some reason was co-written by lmp as well as Nog). Lottie said she wanted Ginna to have an affair with another guy and elope, but then decided it won't work because Athanar wouldn't allow such a thing as soon as he found out. I replied that Athanar would find out and let it happen :smokin:. lmp was very disappointed in me (forget what for), but the others began planning the eloping story.

(For the record, for those of you who don't follow the Scarburg thread, the character Ginna is played by Lhuna, and she's engaged to a totally different man, and Athanar is married with grown children and the way the thread is going he is probably well and far away from the Meadhall.)

Two dream posts in a row. Woot!

[Rikae]

I had a dream that Nogrod and I were running around a city sending secret messages to Diamond18, Rune, theguywhobeshort, littlemanpoet, my two teenage daughters (who don't have accounts here), and Mac, telling them to come to a secret meeting in order to thwart the US government's attempts to start world war three.

These messages had to be top secret and included leaving a particular jar of jam in TGWBS' desk, mailing Rune a bunch of flowers, and sending a coded postcard to Diamond by pigeon.

After you read this post, eat it. :D

[Galadriel55]

I had a dream today, which reminded me that I still didn't post two dreams I had a while ago. Here they are:

The first one was about Kuru's werewolf game. I dreamed that Mith was scried and found out to be a wolf, and I went "what the hell, she looked so innocent!" But then my smart conscious realized that this is just a dream, and began posting all the reasons that if Mith is shown to be a wolf in a dream, it doesn't necessarily imply that she's a wolf in the non-dream game. I really wanted her to be innocent.

The second occurred in the land of Westeros. Reek was sent to inspect the cities of Barrowtown (I wonder why my subconscious picked that one :rolleyes:) and Gulltown. Barrowtown turned out to be alright, but in Gulltown Reek found Mith and decided she was a problem. A brief dialogue ensued, at the end of which one of them turned into a giant werewolf and ate the other (can't remember which one though).

And today, I dreamed that Mith is actually a noisy woman in her late twenties, with dirty blonde hair and uncomfortably bright lip stick. She barely stays quiet and talks in a very vulgar manner. Also, apparently she is engaged to an old rich man. I've uncovered your secrets, Mith! :p


On a related note, Mith seems to be possessing my subconscious. :D

[Mithalwen]

Blimey.. I suppose I should read GOT sometime.

Hmm I spend a lot of my time quietly but when I am with friends or family can be really chatty but I hope not vulgar though I do have a naughty sense of humour it tends to be more double entendre.. :o than outright vulgar..though I can't say I never swear. I do regard it as a failure.now

Late twenties..I wish ... in some ways .. others not. Natural colour was dark strawberry blonde ..ok a bit ginger but there is nothing natural about it now... the lipstick is hysterical. I seldom wear makeup and it tends to be very subtle as I am so pale that most of it makes me look orange which is not a good look with rusty hair.

OOh as for the old rich man... maybe it was an old rich elf and Gil-galad is finally out of MAndos../:Merisu:.
