Your lotr dream

[Maeggaladiel]

Here's my bizarre LOTR dream:

I was Sam and Pippin and I were captured by Ursilla from "The Little Mermaid" and chained to a rock. When the tide came in, we would be drowned. I asked Ursilla to let us go, because right outside her sea cave was Pellenor Fields and the others were busy fighting Orcs. I told her that I wanted to see them all one last time. She agreed to let us go if we PROMISED to come back to the rock later. We did.

We went out to fight, but the battle was already over. I found Aragorn and hugged him. He looked uncomfortable as I did so, but said he was glad to see me because he thought I was dead. Then I found Merry, but he was in a bad mood.

"Go away," he said. "I'm sad becasue all the elves are leaving Middle Earth." I told him that I was sad about that too, but he gave me a dirty look and left.

I decided to go look for Legolas before I went back to Ursilla becasue he might be in a better mood, but I woke up.

Odd.

MAEG!~
I dream of Merry with the light brown hair..

I had a really bizarre dream. A shifty hobbit, kind on like Toby Longholes in the rp im doing at the moment tried to sell me a AU $28,000 Louis Vuitton alligator skin handbag, and he was getting very angry that i wasnt buying it, and all this happened in the middle of the Queen Street Mall!

[Kitanna]

Dream 1~

I was on my friend's pool deck and was running back and forth screaming "The orcs will get me! The Orcs will get me!"

Then out of nowhere Aragorn and Boromir come out of this hole in the deck. Aragorn has this pink horn of Gondor and Boromir has a blue one. Boromir picks me up and says "I'll save you milady!" then throws me on the Bill the Pony and tries to get me home. That's all I remember.

Dream 2~

I'm sitting in the theater watching FOTR and it's at the part with the river and the Nazguls in the water and the white horses in the water. And I say "That's not right" and insist the movie be rewound.

And I kept having it played back until I was sucked into and there was Gollum playing in the dirt. And throughout the whole dream there was this voice going, "Gimli, Gimli, Gimli."

Dream 3~

It's started out like Finding Nemo. I was swimming through the mine field or whatever it was with the sub. I touch one of the mine and everything it exploding around me. Instead of dying I get blown to Middle Earth adn there's Pippin dancing on a sign that says "Middle Earth"

I have many more, but I can't remember them, but I shall return when I do.

Weird dream - I dreamt that I got a McDonald's burger and fries from three Barrowdowners. There was a note on the back that said "from now on I am going to send you a burger and fries on the weekends. We can communicate by leaving notes on the burger package." Then my mom wouldn't let me eat the burger because it could be poisoned.

[Everdawn]

LOTR related dream snippet... thats all I can remember of it anyway.

On the plains of Rohan, Éomer and co ride up, me playing the cycnic said rudely "Well, look, If it isnt Sergant Pepper and his hoard of Tip-Top mufifn men!" and thus remembering they had sharp pointy weapons and that I admire them so was apologetic.

[Mad Baggins]

Alrighty, in my town we have a very nice path along the river; it is gravel and beautiful to walk on. I dreamt that my friends and I were walking along this path and all of a sudden Yoda appeared! He told us to follow him, so we did, and he began leading us up these wide, black stone steps that looked suspiciously familiar. Suddenly Yoda turned into Saruman, and he was going to imprison us in Orthanc! I screamed, "This isn't Yoda's house! This is Orthanc! We gotta get out of here before Saruman kills us!" Then we ran and got away.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I had a dream that I became blonde and was about to fight a battle in Rivendell. Unfortunately, I was woken up before the bloodshed ensued!

[Lalwendë]

Splendid, I can talk about my LOTR related dream on here and no-one will shiftily back away from me wondering about calling the psychiatrist.

Apparently this dream is dangerously geekish:
My Gollum action figure came to life and it was running around my living room gnashing it's teeth, shrieking with laughter and chasing the cats, then one of the moggies ran up the curtains and pulled them down (he's a big lad). This chasing thing carried on for some time and then for some reason the Gollum figure had a sombrero on and his face was done up like one of those Mexican Day of the Dead jolly skeleton things you see.

[Maeggaladiel]

I dreamt that I came home from school one day and my mom was standing in the doorway with the ever-popular "You are in soooo much trouble!" look on her face. She didn't say anything, but my sister appeared next to me and said that someone from the Society for Nearsighted Elves had called the house. My mom got really angry because she thought I had given my phone number away on the Internet, which even I am not stupid enough to do.

Anyway, I decided to find out who had called me. I asked my sister who it was, but she couldn't remember. I started writing out the names of everyone in the society, hoping that she could pick out which person had called. She thought the name started with an S, but she said it wasn't Saraphim. It turned out to be someone with the name Siluntharwen. Somehow this "Siluntharwen" had gotten my phone number and was pretending to be a member of the Society. She passed my number to Lhunardawen, who called me later. My mom got angry because now everybody knew my number. For some reason, Lhunardawen was on vacation with Saraphim in Russia and they decided to call me from Moscow... Weird...

[Maeggaladiel]

Yippee, I finally had another LOTR dream!!

I dreamt that I was Legolas and I was in Moria with Gandalf and Merry. The three of us were crossing the bridge of Khazad-dum when a Nasgul appeared in front of us. The Nasgul thought that Merry was Frodo and wanted to take him to Sauron.

Me being Leggo, the Hero with the Hairdo, I gallantly leaped if front of Merry and started fighting the Nasgul with one of my knives. I was mostly just blocking, though, because I didn't want to risk getting hit with the nasgul's sword. Suddenly, the thing split in half. (Yeah, this dream is weird, so hang on.) One half of him became this midget wraith. G and M just watched as I fought both of them. Then the larger nasgul got the idea to get behind me, so I took out a sword and fought one wraith with one hand and the other with the other hand. I called out to G to help me, but he looked at me like I was crazy and yelled, "No way! I'm not getting involved in that!!" That ungrateful little...

Ahem.

[Elianna]

I've had several LotR dreams (and only 1 Star Wars dream eventhough I was obsessed w/ SW for 4 yrs.). One, the first, I was at the Prancing Pony w/ Frodo and Co. and I accidently spilt some soup on Frodo, Sam wasn't happy. Then I was outside in the woods..... Anyway, another I remember was really funny: I think I was a hobbit b/c I was shorter than Gimli, but anyway: Aragorn and Legolas were agruing over how someone should do their hair. Legolas was going into all this complicated junk and Aragorn was like "It doesn't matter. It works." Then Gimli tried to put in his two cents, but was cut off.

My friend had a dream where Legolas was playing with a Skip-it. She said it was very scary.

[Maeggaladiel]

Okay, this one is the most bizarre LOTR dream I've ever had:

Eowyn Skywalker, Agent Evenstar (who was Trinity in my dream) and I were walking in a park when we met Gandalf. He was making some adjustments to his staff, adding some "special spells."

Being the stupid kids that we are, we started teasing him about his hair. So naturally, Gandalf got kinda mad and zapped all three of us with his staff. For whatever reason, he turned us into peacocks. Then these zookeepers started chasing us to put us in a zoo, so we hid in the women's bathroom. (Yeah, I told you this thing was weird.) They were male zookeepers so it took them a while to figure out a way to get inside.

By the time they got inside, I had already changed back into a human. Instead of changing into me, however, I turned into this red head lady. (Go figure) Eowyn Skywalker and Trinity were still peacocks, though, so the zookeepers ran after them.

To save them, I pretended to faint. The zookeepers ran over to me and Eowyn S and Trin hid somewhere.

Then I woke up and vowed never to eat chocolate chip peanut butter cookies before bedtime ever again.

[Mad Baggins]

Very odd this is...

I was in my school, running away from these people who wanted to catch me and put me on a leash for some reason. I had Asfaloth with me, and this girl showed up and said, "Here, I'll hide him in a ditch!" I said, "Okay, hurry!" and continued avoiding the leash people. I was also with this guy in my Promotions class named Dom who had suddenly sprouted wings rather like a griffen's. I jumped on his back and we were flying around when we ran into somebody who said, "Hey they found your horse in a ditch all cut up." I said, "No! I gave him to this girl, she said she would hide him!" The person said, "Dude, she was in on it!" The rest is all irrelevant.

[Elianna]

Nooooooooo! Asfaloth! :(

[Arwen Evenstar]

Wow! So I`m not the only one who has psycho dreams! YAY! *hugs all of the other weirdos* ;) :D

[elfearz1]

My friend had a dream where Legolas was playing with a Skip-it.
hahahahhahahhaha oh wow hahhahahaha thats the funniest thing I've heard all day.

I haven't had a Lotr related dream in a while. hmmm I used to have them a lot.

[Saraphim]

Maeg~ post 159 had me laughing for a while. *ahem* I promise I won't call you from Moscow when Lhunardawen and I go to Russia this summer. *laughs some more*

I just had a dream, well, nightmare really, about Turin from the Silmarilion. He was following me around covered in blood. It really freaked me out. I asked Voronwe (who just happened to be there) what was up with Turin, but he didn't help.

Perhaps I shouldn't have named my cat after him...

[Sauron_the_Abhorred]

I had a creepy dream a couple of months ago, and it started with me at my Grandmother's house. I was supposed to be sleeping on her porch, and I kept hearing Dom M.,Sean A., Billy B., Ian M., and Liv T. asking me questions from Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit(this was the night after I got it), and I was scared 'cause it was real dark everywhere. So I got up, and walked to my Grandmother's car, and went inside, but the actors left a Walkie-Talkie inside it, so they kept asking me questions, and then I wet my pants outta fear(in the dream, that is ;) ). Then a white horse cam down to me, and I started to pet it, and it started asking me questions. So I ran into my Grandma's garage, and closed the door. I was sure I was safe, until the people started hacking down the door with Gimli's axe. :rolleyes:

[Saraphim]

I have been spending altogether too much time on the Downs. I had a dream last night that I was on the Downs.

And not the actual Barrow-Downs. No. I was here, on the computer, talking to you people.

We were all speaking by posting in forum style, but it came up on my screen like it was a chat room or something.

I've decided that I'm weird...

[elfwishes999]

i have had at least 10 different LOTR dreams ever since i saw all 3. so one of them was:
I was traveling with Frodo and Sam and we had just met up with gollum (or smeagol) and one night gollum killed frodo and so it was up to me and sam to take the ring to mordor. of course the first thing we did was kill golloum (or smeagol) and then we continued to mordor. then we somehow destroyed the ring and then we traveled back to the shire and met the rest fo the fellowship (that was still alive) and told them of frodo and then we had a funeral for him. then i woke up...
THIS WAS REALLY STRANGE!!!!! [/B] [/U]

[elfwishes999]

ok so i had another dream last night! it was about me being a hobbit and at first i was just chillin with merry and pippin (i had no idea where sam or frodo was) and then it got really dark and pippin told me & merry to follow him. so we did and he took us through the back, muddy, streets of hobbiton and we somehow ended up in front of frodo's house. so we went inside and frodo told us that even though the one ring was destroyed, he was still not sure everythign was right. So then we went WAYYYYYYY down to gondor and talked to aragorn about it and then gandalf showed up (what a coincidence) and he said that there was still a power source bringing back a large evil force. so then the fellowship reunited (it was me, sam, frodo, aragorn, legolas, gimli, gandalf, pippin, and merry) and we all rode to what was left of mordor and looked through it. it turned out that there was another ring that needed to be destroyed. but this ring could only be destroyed by the chosen one (or so gandalf said) and to find the chosen one, each of us had to wear the ring. so i was last to try it on and when i did i of course was the chosen one. i destroyed the ring by using aragorn's sword and simply cutting it in two (too easy, right? WRONG)!! because then there was a loud noise to the east and it turned out that even though saruman had no power, his fort thing came crashing down!!

my mind is complicated.......

good charlotte rocks!!

[Araréiel]

Let's just say that, in my LotR dreams, I end up with Legolas. Yes, I'm one of those Legolar people! And my dreams are not decent at all......

[Fingolfin II]

I had a weird dream where I was stuck in Barad-dur with Frodo, only that it was a hotel. I was scared of trying to get out because I thought the manager (who was Sauron) would get angry with me and had already locked up Boromir. This was after watching LotR repeatedly and eating a heavy dinner by the way!

[Kitanna]

I had a rather depressing LOTR dream the other night. I saw everything as though I was Frodo and it was just me and the other Hobbits travelling to Mordor (which happened to be my school). Well we were being chased and Merry and Pippin were caught and killed. Sam fell down the stairs and was most likely captured and I just kept running. I hid in a closest and tried to wait it out, but I too was captured. It was one of those dreams that you can't wake up from and you always seem to be running away.

[Morgul Queen]

I had this really strange one where I was Celebrian...no, not the one from the Bad!Fic....and I ate dinner with Elrond.

Was rather...confusing. To this day I can barely remember what was on my plate...but it did taste good! :D

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

I remember my dreams very rarely... So both of these are pretty old, dating back to the months right after FOTR was released...

1. It was December 16, 2001 when I had this dream. I went to bed very excited because when I woke up in the morning, FOTR would be open. I had a dream that my friends and I wnet to see the movie. The screening room was very fancy with red velvet on the seats and all, but on the outside, it looked just like my local theater. I don't remember the details of the movie that I watched, save that none of the characters were anything like anyone from LOTR, but the movie was FOTR that we were watching. Nothing in the plot had anything to do with LOTR, either...But as I left the theater at the end, I said, "That was such an awesome movie!" Go figure, I certainly don't get it.

2. This one happened after I saw FOTR. It was daytime in the city, a place that my mind created only for the purpose of my dream, because it sure wasn't anything like any city I've ever been to... Anyway, suddenly it got very dark outside and all the lights went out. I ran out of my apartment and down the street, along with 8 other teens my age, none of whom I recognized. I knew that this one guy was Frodo, even though none of us looked anything like the characters. So we were all running down the street and I knew that we were running from black riders, even though I never caught a glimpse of any of them. And then we came to this bridge and the frodo-kid fell off and completely disappeared and I knew that I had the Ring...And then I woke up. It wasn't a very scary dream despite being chased by black riders, and I'm still, to this day, wondering exactly what it meant.

[Oddwen]

Last night I dreamed I somehow logged into the Barrow-Wight's account. I looked at his reps, and it turns out that he was hiding the fact that Sitheruwen was his Dad, and someone named "mcdonald_orodruin_macdougal" was his wife.

I dunno. I need a brain scrub.

[THE Ka]

Ok these are not as bad as the other...


1. Well, I wake up and i'm in some really secluded temperate rainforest (a.k.a. Olympic National Park type setting) I wander over to some pool and I see my reflection. I'm this green-mossy/dryad type thing and i'm hungry. So, I try eating some moss and other vegitation. I'm filled up so, I decide to explore the place. I come across these two little guys and they turn out to be merry and pippin. For some odd reason, Ive built a trap and they walk right into it. In seconds they are bagged. I then walk over, cut down the rope which they are hanging from, tie the top of the net and sling them over my shoulders and go home... Somehow, they do not make any effort to escape. Weird.

2. Okay this one is strange. I'm somewhere in Rivendell and i'm on a type of window-washing suspension board. Except, i'm not washing windows, i'm inside a courtyard painting a scene on a huge strip of wall. Then Elrond has a council meeting, and i'm just happy and in my own little world when they all start to leave. Then Elrond says something causing them to stop in their tracks. He turns around and yells at me to wake up. I'm startled and I turn around. Then in a very carefree voice he says, "Hey, yeah, I don't know who you are but, you're different so, do you want to come along on a quest or something? They'll have a pony."
Then someone from the fellowship pipes up and says something like, "Yes! Do come! If you follow me we'll go to a city with many blank walls! You can paint all you want!" And of course, someone else says, " Do you like parties?"
I end up giving them this blank stare and one says, "I think they are dead... You should pay your workers more Elrond..."
The I suddenly snap to, and reply, "Ah, Sure. Why not..."

~Illusion Ka~

[Kath]

I don't really remember my dreams but last nights one must have been pretty weird cos I do actually recall some.
I was in Fangorn (the forest not the tree) and Gwaihir came and got his wing caught in the branches of this tree which then came to life. It then told us that we (I say we because Aragorn just appeared, though this is not surprising as it has happened before) had to help it because it had an eagle stuck on it. Gwaihir was then very offended at being called an eagle (I've no idea why) so he pooed on the trees head and it died.
The end.

[Assasin]

I had this dream where Faramir asked me to marry him and I said no. I tried to say yes, but I just couldn't. I also had a dream where Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin were trying to kill me. They looked like zomby hobbits or something. I have weird dreams.

[Kitanna]

I had a dream wher all the hobbits out of the shire were kidnapped then it was up to Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Eomer, and some dude (that's what everyone called him) to save them. So they all took part in the battle for Isengard, but the thing was it was in my kitchen on the counter and the five guys wjho set out to save the hobbits killed all the uraks from my countertop. Then they went into the basement (go figure) of Isengard and it looks a lot like Barnes and Nobles, and Aragorn says "thanks for looking after them Chewie". Then Chewbacca stands up in the middle of all these hobbits and waves. I woke up then and fell back to sleep only to start the dream over from the hobbit's point of view

[TomBrady12]

wow Kitanna, sounds like you've nearly acomplished one of your life goals ;) now for spontaneous combustion!

[Shelob]

I once had a dream that one of the LOTR actors got mad at my brother and started chasing him around the yard. What makes this even better is that A) we live in the woods B) our yard is huge C) it was dark out and D) I immediately started helping both my bro and the actor (ah treachery...I love it :D). As it is though, I don't remember how that turned out, or who it was chasing my brother...ah well...

[Maeggaladiel]

Wow... I just had a dream about LOTR. Handy that this thread happened to pop up again, isn't it?

I dreamed that I got drafted into the army and we were going to war. I suddenly realized that I was just drafted into the ancient Japanese army and that they killed women who joined. (I don't know why. I'm not Japanese and I've never been to Japan. Too many videogames, I guess. CURSE YOU, DYNASTY WARRIORS!) Anyway, I put on a helmet to disguise myself and tried to sneak away.

I ended up running into Legolas, who handed me a bow and told me to hide with him under a bridge so we could attack the invading army when they came through. (I have no idea why the elf army joined forces with the ancient Japanese army, but they did. Maybe this was a reflection of some sort of trauma in my subconcious. Or it could be that I was up till 1 am playing video games last night...) The army arrived and Legolas told me not to shoot until he did. The first horse passed safely under the bridge and no one attacked him. Then Legolas started shooting. I tried to help, but I kept hitting their horses instead of them. Then he stopped suddenly. A man walked under the bridge. He didn't see us at first. I asked Legolas why he wasn't shooting and he said that the man had a dart gun filled with poison. The man turned around and pointed the gun at Legolas. He shot... and I woke up.


What did I eat last night?? Oh... must have been the cookie dough.

[Thinlómien]

Maybe a year ago I had the following dream:

Boromir is talking with Galadriel. Galadriel sees through him, but she doesn't say anything. Boromir defends himself by saying: "It's not easy to be the only evil among good people. It's not easy to be the only man among women."

Boromir clearly describes there the fellowship somehow. And I think this dream describes Boromir very well... He's after all the most human-like character in the story.

[narfforc]

Oh no!!!! Are you telling me that I am awake now, and I am not really an Half-Orc from Isengard.......................................... .................

[Nimrodel_9]

Just thought I'd bring this back to go with Barrow-Down Dreams. (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?p=389109#post389109)

I had a dream last night that Legolas and Merry were on a ship with a lot of people. They were all singing songs from Phantom of the Opera. All of a sudden, Will Turner pops out of no where and Legolas shot him with an arrow! Merry wasn't too happy about it. Now, really I like Will. It was just so funny after I woke up. :D

No more late night movies. :p

[Kitanna]

I had a really strange LOTR dream last night. All of Middle-Earth was in my house and Sauron was hiding in my basement demanding we return the Ring to him. I kept screaming "Go down there and hit him with a shoe!" And for some unknown reason Pippi Longstocking (who was a member of the Fellowship) would take off her shoe and run off to hit Sauron with it.
At one point she came back and stated "He's going to be crowned king." After hearing this Frodo took the Ring and returned it to Sauron. I was already pretty annoyed so I grabbed my hairbrush and ran to my basement to reclaim the Ring.
Once downstairs I yelled at Sauron (who happened to be playing music on my computer). Sauron turned around only to reveal that he was infact Johnny Depp. He looked at me and shook his and said, "You're not going to hit me with that hairbrush are you?"
I dropped the brush and shook my head. Then I think I sat in a corner and grumbled the rest of the dream.

[the guy who be short]

A short dream from me. I dreamt I was taking an exam, and there was a question in it (surprise, surprise). I can't remember the question exactly, but it was one of those something is to something as what is to what? eg foot is to shoe as... and then lots of options.

Anyway, one of the options to answer the question was as Beren is to Luthien. As you can imagine, my dream-self was happy to be sitting that exam.

[THE Ka]

I had another dream with boats...

This time I was in one of those toy bath boats, (you know? Made entirely out of plastic and always sink...) Anyways, I was in a gigantic old bathtub driving this boat through bubbles and such. Then, ahead of me there's some elves in a rubber ducky. They race over as if they are going to ask a question, when a small (but normal size since everyone in the bath is small...) Nazgul comes out of the water riding some sea monster. The sea monster eats the rubber ducky and all the people on board. Then, the nazgul drives over to my boat, pulls over at the side and asks If I have a license. I show him my boat license and he throws a fit. After that a big wave comes and my boat is tossed up into the air, the nazgul falls off the sea monster, who disappears into the tub. I end up helping the nazgul on board as my boat is tossed and turned through the water. Right when I'm ready to ditch my boat I look up and find that it was Galadriel making the waves, sitting on the side of the tub, testing the water to see if it was warm enough...

I really didn't like this dream at all... :(

Funny this thread was brought back up....last night I dreamt but all I can remember is Aragorn pulling a stabbed-by-the-cavetroll-face-down Frodo from a modern underground swimming pool. Go figure.

[Nimrodel_9]

A few nights ago I had a dream about one my friends who is kind of a movie fan. She can't tell Merry and Pippin apart (it gets annoying) and in the dream I was trying to explain the difference between them. She still didn't understand which was which so I took her into a forest that suddenly appeared by my house. There was a cave nearby where I knew the two hobbits were currently living. :rolleyes: When we got there, Gollum was gaurding the door and wouldn't let us in until I told him how to get to the nearest Wal-Mart. After giving directions and sending him on his way, Merry came out. I began explaining to my friend that this one was Merry and that Pip wore different clothes and looks completely different. She finally understood who Merry was when he suddenly turned into Pippin. This had her confused all over again and I had to describe Merry now. Again she understood until Pip turned back into Merry and it continued. I had the worst headache by the time I woke up. :rolleyes::p

So, I can agree with the first message of your dream:

Wal-Mart is Mordor

...and your friend will never be able to tell the difference from merry and pippin. (or at least from your prespective, and what you sadly already know...)

Good luck, hope your headache didn't hurt too much...

[the guy who be short]

I dreamt I was watching a cartoon version of LotR (not the Bakshi one). It was in black and white, but it was so good! I got so obsessed with it, my dream-self made little figures of the characters.

[Holbytlass]

Last night I dreamt I was acting in the LOTR movies, I was actually Sam. The scene was with Frodo and Gollum at the skirts of Mount Doom, for some reason the landscape was sandy like a beach rather than rocky. The 'feel' of the scene was more like in 'Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit', pressing matters but not the frenzy Mt Doom should be.

What was really cool about this dream, it was on an actual set with actual behind the scenes people, director, producer, make-up, lighting, I think the bestboy was there, too! (I don't think I've ever dreamt a dream with so many people in it.)

Between sets, Elijah and I got to be very chumy, he is a very friendly guy in real-dream life. :D He told me how he made his audition tape and we talked about the experience so far.

If this is what late night Taco Bell does for a person, I think I'll have another go!!

That sounds like alot of fun! But, I wonder, how did Gandalf the Grey look, or did he just modify to white? :rolleyes: Sorry, i'm being lame...

Anyways, that sounds like an awsome dream.

[THE Ka]

As the title says, that is what indeed happened...

Anyways, the dream begins and Turin is in some castle that is packed with pools galore, seriously, they where everywhere the coach and fridge wasn't. So, i come in, somehow, and I'm one of what you would call a Merperson, I can't really tell if I was a mermaid or merman, because that wasn't revealed in the dream. Turin is sobbing on a bench, right next to a lap pool. I ask him what his problem was and he said he was depressed because he lost his favorite sword. Then I asked where he might had left it, and he said it was in a pool in the basement. he then asked if I liked coffee, because he just made some and couldn't drink it all. So, I said sure, and we talked about things, mostly about the sword he lost.

So, then we finished our coffee and went to the basement. He didn't want to go in because he said he had something wrong with his ear at the moment. So, I go down and it's really dark and I find a small door, like off of alice and wonderland, but this one is mute, or just swallowed too much water. Somehow, he tells me that the sword is in a clam shell next to an old stack of records. I find it and give it back to Turin, but he's still depressed about his ear. I tell him he should go to the doctor, and have it checked out for infection. He says its a great idea and asks If I want some tea, and since I didn't know how sensitive his emotions were, I agreed. So, we talk some more, and he asks if I have one album by The Cure, and I say that i'm going to go get it this week. All the while, I notice he gives an evil smile as I drink the tea. I ask why he does that, and he said it was nothing, just that the caffine makes him jumpy. Then, he gives me more and more tea. Suddenly, my tail disappears and i have legs. Turin jumps up and yells:

" Ha! Now you have to walk around instead of swimming all day! You can never have your tail back, because i've hid it! Ha!"

I then tell him that my tail would proably get smelly and rot anyway, and he would have to get rid of it. He just says 'oh...' and goes back to drinking tea, while asking what my favorite colour was, or what was my sign...

That dream, I have no idea what it means, except maybe I shouldn't eat fish and chips late at night again... Blast! :(

I also had a Turin dream!

I dreamt that I was in the Fellowship, and we ran out of Moria, except that we were all Men! We ran for quite a while, and suddenly, the character I was became Turin, and I became myself sitting on a stage, listening to a woman tell about the Tale of Turin.

The woman started singing Harvest of Sorrow by Blind Guardian, and then I started watching the Tale of Turin unfold, but slightly adapted.

Turin was a horseman with a white horse. After leaving Moria, he robbed three men and gave the money to a peasant girl (probably Niniel) [he was part Robin Hood when he did this].

There was also a witch in a small cottage instead of Glaurung, and she planned their falling in love and used all her potions to somehow make it happen.

That's all I remember, and it was odd.


Ohh, Ka - The Gandalf had white robes with black lines streaked across them.

Ohh, Ka - The Gandalf had white robes with black lines streaked across them.

Finally, a Gandalf with fashion sense... Pinstripe Gandalf. Awsomely beautiful. :smokin:

------------------------------------------------------

I hade proably the best dream of my life last night. Ah! It was awsome...

So, this is how it happens... (AH! This had to be a gift of the Valar!)

Anyways, i'm in Rivendell and Elrond's council area is a stage. On it are Hedwig (Hedwig and the angry inch), Elrond (Looking awfully like Mitzy...), Jack Fairy (Velvet Goldmine), and Thranduil (Looking like david bowie...) and they are playing a buch of awsome songs. I'm in the audience, and who do I turn to see next to me? Oscar Wilde and Bosie!!! It was amazing! We talked, danced and threw glitter on stage. So, everyone is having a great time then Legolas comes in with a wig exactly like Hedwig... Only thing is, it's not a wig, it's his actual hair. Then, everything goes really, really quiet, not even the trees are making a sound. he comes and marches up on stage, asking to sing.

Thranduil says that if he doesn't wait his turn, he will shave his head and take away all of his shampoo and makeup. Legolas looks like he is going to cry, then he walks sadly down into the audience area and sits down. Oscar, Bosie and I talk to him, telling him it would be alright and he could help throw glitter everywhere. He just sits there and gives us a bad look, so we ignore him and keep partying.

So, in the end, I never got to find out if legolas sings, or why everyone was there (especially those not from middle earth), but it was indeed an awsome dream...

Ah... It was an awsome dream of Glam...

Elrond (Looking awfully like Mitzy...)

Haha, fabulous!

[the guy who be short]

I dreamt that the Snowmen of Forochel were attacking my house, but they were actual snowmen (i.e. made of snow).

When your face was turned, the Snowmen would creep forward a few inches. They'd keep doing it until they got to the house, and then they started bashing the doors and windows! :eek: Luckily, I turned into a wizard and flew my broom over them, then dropped boiling water over them to melt them. :D

Yes, that has very little to do with LotR - but they were definitely the Snowmen of Forochel! My dream-mother said so.

[Kitanna]

So I had a dream the other night that Aragorn, Eowyn, and a few other assorted members of the books were out to stop World War 2. And they went into France to crush the Nazi stronghold. Aragorn and Eowyn broke through a concrete wall to get into the building (with their will power!) and attacked everyone. Then a friendly blue alien, roughly the size of Paul Bunyan, came along to help.

So the moral of all this is no reading LOTR and no eating before bed.

[THE Ka]

Then a friendly blue alien, roughly the size of Paul Bunyan, came along to help.

I wonder If it was one of those guys from the computer commercials... They look so cool, like blue mimes.

[THE Ka]

I had a very uncomfortable dream last night...

It was set in Minas Tirith, except the city was a sand castle. Aragorn was in rule, and I'm inside what looks like a really messy hall closet. It's rather long, and there's a window there of all places. Suddenly, some guy with a really bad blonde wig pops out of the junk in the room and says that he's on a mission to steal some rare valuable medallion that's in the closet. As i'm going to walk out because this gentleman is rather weird, Aragorn throws open the door, looking rather crazed and his eyes are red. He looks at the man who's in the junk and says: "YOU...!"

Then they begin chasing each other, except aragorn is much slower due to his crown which he has to keep from falling off his head. I offer to hold while he's running about, so the chase would end and I could get out. He stops and gives me a funny look like I've said 'wear your crown like a shoe!', and throws it at me. I hits the wall, and a medallion pops out from the side. I go to pick it up and give it to them, because I really want to get out of the room, which is too small for three people now and the man with the blonde wig shoots through the air for it. I drop it, but I pick up the crown and dash through the door before i'm attacked.

Then the dream ends. It wasn't a very nice dream anyway, but at least I got a crown out of the deal... ;)

[Elrowen Tinúviel]

I've had some really weird LOTR dreams...

Once I was an Elf (not suprising somehow;)) and I was honing my horsemanship, swordsmanship, and archery skills. My teachers were awesome... Elladan, Elrohir, and Legolas (from the books). They were really tough, but I learned alot - then went a hunting orcs with the twins.

Another time I was in Rivendell... yet it was a log cabin among mountains in winter. (weird.) Elrond was giving instructions to the Fellowship (of whom I was one), when Boromir came in late, stomping the snow off his feet. Everybody turned to look at him, and Elrond reprimanded him for being late - and while Boromir was younger than most there, youth was no excuse for being late. Aragorn watched Boromir walk over to stand with the rest of us, and then informed him that until he learned to walk like an Elf (quietly), he could not join the Fellowship. In fact... everyone had to demostrate that they could move quietly through the woodlands, like an Elf. Fortunately for me... I was a half-Elf, so I didn't have too much trouble. :)

Like I said... weird. But then again... what fun is there in being normal? Normal is boring and well, "normal".

~Elrowen

[the guy who be short]

I dreamt that I was a member of the fellowship - maybe Legolas - and we were all in some sort of chamber in Moria, like Mazarbul, and yet unlike.

There was a stone table, crumbling, in the middle of the hall. It had a stone bench on either side, and these benches were really in disrepair - one side of one had almost completely fallen off. Pippin sensibly went to sit on this bench, so we all shouted at him for ruining historical artefacts.

Then Gandalf left the chamber to go to the toilet, and Pippin danced around the table a bit.

Suddenly, as people have a habit of doing in dreams, three of the other members of the fellowship transformed into acquaintances from school. Mostly from my Further Maths class, oddly enough.

Suddenly, we heard a noise, so we all rushed to the door. Surely Orcs were without! The tallest of my friends went to the door to hold it against the enemy. He applied his force against it to make sure it would not open, his sword held in his hand.

"Grab something sharp," he said to the other three of us that were left. The only item I could find lying around was some sort of duster thing, but with wire instead of feathers. I stood on one side of the door, probably hoping to poke any orcs that came through in the eye or something, as the duster would otherwise be of little use.

Still, my response was better than my other two friends' - they "fell back."

Suddenly, the door started opening, despite my first friend holding it! I became tense, ready to plunge my duster forward at the first sign of orc-flesh.

The door opened - and there was Gandalf, back from the toilet!

[littlemanpoet]

I dreamt that I was in a village being plagued by about three werewolves. :rolleyes: One of my fellow villagers, apparently The Only Real Estel in the guise of Aragorn, hands me a paper clip, as proof against the werewolves. I accept it readily. Yeah. A paper clip. Go figure. Not silver, but it is aluminum .... er ... aluminium. :p Maybe TORE type werewolves can't take alum..... (you know what I mean) .... um any better than silver...... ???

[Cailín]

I had a weird dream a while ago which I still have not boasted of here. I am not sure if it exactly qualifies as a Lord of the Rings dream, but I had just seen the third movie again, hence the inspiration. Sorry for the less than eloquent and far too lengthy retelling. I will not blame you for giving up halfway.

Some evil being had invaded a college dorm (does this sound like a cheap horror or what?). For some odd reason, I was feeling heroic -I'm always the hero of my dreams- and decided I should be the one to defeat this hell beast. I did not need to go alone, for some strangers were perfectly willing to lay down there lives for me. I now had a fellowship, so we set out on our quest. The dorm was enormous - a world by itself. We first needed to travel through the 'good' part to get to the river that divided the school into two. The lands around the river were a sort of no-man's land and as we walked further, the view got more and more depressing. The river turned from sparkly blue and clear into a wide, dark and smelly stream. The shores were soon crawling with maggots but still we walked onwards.

At the border of the evil lands, there was a small candy shop run by a witch. We knew we needed her help if we wanted to make it through the battle. The old lady was prepared to help us, but warned us not to come too close. We soon figured out why: the candy she sold was not really candy at all, but dark magic spells given power by demons. And those same demons were walking around her store, occasionally pretending to lash out at us. It was quite terrifying. So we bought some 'candy' and as we were planning to continue our journey, one of the scariest demons suddenly appeared in front of us. He was a Hellhound, with enormous fangs and fiery red eyes, called Grunt (oh dear, my dreams are such a cliché). He said he wanted to go with us to defeat the evil overlord - he could show us the way. Naturally, we were hesitant to welcome his company: he was not exactly trustworthy. However, we feared we had no choice and took him along.

Through a gate we entered the evil part of the dorm. The students there seemed all to be engaged in satanic cults and the place was covered in seemingly occult symbols. We rushed through this part, afraid to be discovered - surprise was to be our ally. Then finally we came to a broom closet, which we knew was really the door into the heart of the evil land - which we by then referred to as Mordor. Gathering all our courage, we entered.

The dungeon we were in was divided into several wide and stony chambers. The first few were empty, but we more or less knew what was coming. Suddenly, we found ourselves in a chamber full of immobilised people. We didn't quite trust it and we were right: as soon as we opened the door to the next chamber they started whispering and murmuring amongst each other, threatening and approaching with their swords drawn. We fled through the door and barricaded the entrance, only to find ourselves facing worse enemies. Four monstrous beings were standing in front of us, fully armed and looking like wingless Balrogs. We attacked them, but however hard we tried, they kept coming back. I saw us losing and yelled that we just had to rush on, knowing that once the Big Bad was defeated, all his minions would disappear as well. With all the monsters behind us we entered the final chamber and I started duelling with the Sauron-before-he-became-an-eyeball-like being there. I soon knew I was stronger, but somehow my sword could not touch him. Then Grunt the Hellhound yelled that Big Bad could only be hit if the sword went through an innocent's body first. Before I knew what was happening, one of my friends jumped between us and I struck him in the heart. My sword went right through his back and pierced Big Bad's stomach. He immediately started vanishing and as I knew we had won, I woke up.

Whoever can find all the parallels my subconscious unconsciously makes… well let's just say I am quite insane. Please don't try to analyse me! I'm sure I don't wish to know. Though I must say I love these kind of dreams: I wake up feeling like I have just saved the world.

[JennyHallu]

A. I feel sorry for your sacrificial friend...a Freudian slip?

B. That is an awesome dream, and you have such a complete memory of it! You should take elements of it and turn it into a story.

It could have been worse - it could have been the Microsoft Office Assistant :"You appear to be trying to catch a werewolf - do you want any help with that?"

[littlemanpoet]

Whoever can find all the parallels my subconscious unconsciously makes… well let's just say I am quite insane.Nonsense. If the innocent sacrificial one is not someone you know closely, then that person is a representation of a part of you. What part depends on characteristics the innocent exhibited. The sword's pretty obvious: your greatest strength. What's rather neat is that you succeed. It's interesting that a hellhound becomes an ally in this. Could represent the "shadow" self, what you're afraid of in yourself. But hey, just guesses.

It could have been worse - it could have been the Microsoft Office Assistant :"You appear to be trying to catch a werewolf - do you want any help with that?"Aiieeee! Nooooo! :eek: A true nightmare! Anything but that! ;)

[Cailín]

A. I feel sorry for your sacrificial friend...a Freudian slip?


I must admit, that is the only part I feel awkward about. It does not really make me look any better. :o But what Elempi says makes sense, as it was not really a friend. I only met him in that dream.

B. That is an awesome dream, and you have such a complete memory of it! You should take elements of it and turn it into a story.

Thanks, dreaming is a talent of mine. But this is a story already written by many different authors - packed with clichés. :)

Elempi, you make me feel as if you have just poked a hole in my brain, though I usually disregard such dreams as wishful thinking. I have yet to lose a dream battle, by the way - my dream self is scarily accomplished.

It could have been worse - it could have been the Microsoft Office Assistant :"You appear to be trying to catch a werewolf - do you want any help with that?"

Noooo! Not the scary paperclip!

[littlemanpoet]

I did read a very good book on dreams, and scanned through a few questionable books as well. The iconic nature of dreams makes their psychological interpretation rather less than difficult. So it was with yours. The fact that you win in your dreams is a testament to a basically healthy individual psychologically.

Just by way of comparison, for the longest time I had dreams of driving a car that would end up going backwards into a ditch and getting stuck, or slide on ice, or get stuck in snow drifts. Cars are emblematic of the dreamer's personality. Those old dreams of mine were easily interpretable as me being stuck in life. Lately my dreams have had me driving over the speed limit. :rolleyes:

[Celuien]

Lately my dreams have had me driving over the speed limit. :rolleyes:
Now how long can it be before that rolls into waking hours and you wind up reassigning yourself to Mordor? ;) At least you're not stuck anymore, right?

I hate to think how this dream (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=444908&postcount=261) could be interpreted. :rolleyes:

[littlemanpoet]

I hate to think how this dream (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=444908&postcount=261) could be interpreted. :rolleyes:That is hilarious! :D And easy to interpret. You're spending so much time doing stuff you have fun with that you're afraid your real life challenges are getting short shrift; and a sufficiently authoritative individual (me! :D) is enough to get the message across emphatically. Under the tables and food being tossed are clear images of shame. Namely, feeling ashamed. At least you didn't find yourself standing before a whole crowd unclothed! Well?

[Celuien]

I'd say that's a pretty good analysis. :D

Let's leave that dream for Gandalf the Grey. :o

[The Only Real Estel]

I dreamt that I was in a village being plagued by about three werewolves. :rolleyes: One of my fellow villagers, apparently The Only Real Estel in the guise of Aragorn, hands me a paper clip, as proof against the werewolves.

Funny, I dreamt I was in a village being plagued by about three werewolves, & I was disguised as Aragorn. I handed you a paper clip as proof...well, I actually did not dream this I'm afraid.

But I find your's quite funny nonetheless! :D

[Legolas in spandex]

okay then.

I had this poster on my wall of Orlando Bloom making a fist that I saw before I slept. It is not LoTR related in any way , however, in my dream, I woke to find I had pointy ears and was , in fact, an elf. The radio was going mad explaining how my school was basically under attack by Orcs, goblins, and perhaps other wicked things. Suddenly, Legolas came out of my poster in some wierd light and spoke to me. I don't remember his exact words, but they were to the effect of, we gotta go save your school. So, the scenery changes and I am at my school. All the ditsy girls I hate were in a frezy, which was amusing, but my friends were also in trouble. One of the said to be evil teachers at my school was holding her own with the axe rumored to have been at her desk. She was kicking butt I tell you!!!. Legolas was shooting his bow as I bore a sword for fighting and I was doing good. At the end of it all, Legolas and I stood on the red carpet and were handed a soccer trophy. Go figure. After that I believe he kissed me. (yes, tee hee, have your laughs at my fandom) Then, he and I floated back into the poster together as my friends watched in awe and in the poster was a group of huts on a tropical island and my friends were suddenly there and some random native was playing a (ukelailee?) can't spell. Anyhow there's my very random dream.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Seems the Barrow-Down dreams are far more often than LotR dreams (especially thanks to Lommy :D ). But anyway, I had a LotR, non-BD dream this night, although it had many aspects from RL...
The story was, that the dean of our faculty along with two other professors or who they were came to my house (which looked totally different) to have a lecture on something concerning the book of Job. I was there along with two other people as audience. I don't know who was the first of them, but the other was Sam Gamgee who was a student and this was shortly before his promotion. All the three lecturers came in, and the two professors normally sat with us, as the dean left, went to the nearby forest, took on a mask of a dog and returned. Then he pretended to be dog and attacked Sam, who was sort of nervous and said something in Latin which I didn't understand (in the dream, it had a character of saying some typical quote, like "et tu, Brutus" or "quo vadis" or something like that, but in real it was a complete nonsense, I don't remember it). It turned out, however, that Sam also didn't know the meaning of what he said (he was probably thinking it would make him look clever), since one of the professors asked him and he didn't know, then the profs started to talk to each other that this is quite a problem when a student who is before his promotion doesn't know such a typical thing, and they finally decided that instead of the planned lecture, the dean is going to spent half an hour with explaining what Sam's words meant.

Make of it what you wish. The dream didn't make sense to me at all, not a single thing in it. I have no clue why Sam or our dean appeared there, and the three lecturers also aren't much logical (not speaking of the dog mask). But why Sam? I haven't encountered anything concerning Sam a long time. If you said Arvedui or other folk about whom there was quite a mess in the Quiz Room, but Sam...? Hmmm... now when I think of it... maybe it might have something to do with the little note of Volo's or who it was, yesterday, that in the upcoming WWXXXIII no one wants to pick the role of Sam... but still... :confused:

[Finduilas]

A couple years ago, I unintentionaly(sp) set up my own dream. Before going to bed, I was waiting for my sister that sleeps in the same room with me, and I reached over the side of the bed and pretended to help Gollum over the side of a cliff, at the same time whispering that the coast was clear. Don't ask me why I did this, I'm just weird.

That night I had a dream that I was in league with Gollum, but when members of my family were being killed by him I decided it was time for our ways to part. He took it calmly till my back was turned, then he started chasing me, and the dream ended with his teeth in my shoulder. Needless to say, I no longer help Gollum up cliffs before going to bed :)

[the guy who be short]

Last night I had a weird dream that Darth Vader was the head of the Nazgul, of whom there were only two. They could shoot ice out of their hands as will. There was some sort of conspiracy theory I've forgotten, but I was the sort of spy, trying to find out what they were up to and all that. It ended with a grand finale at a train station, with all of us shooting ice at one another.

I also had another dream before, which was quite bizarre. I was in the fellowship, but we were all on bikes to get through Moria. Then, Smeagol was with us, but he looked like I R Baboon (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/70/I-am-Weasel.jpg) from I M Weasel. We got lost in Lorien, which was actually run by baboons...

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Oh gosh I had this dream the other night that I met the guys that played the four hobbits (Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin) and I held them captive then made them sign my LOTR books... Weird

[Thinlómien]

I had a rather vivid and extraordinary dream. In it, I saw a clip of the Hobbit movie and it was horrible. It was the Rivendell scene and some traveling bits. I think Elijah Wood was playing Bilbo. Hugo Weaving was Elrond and he had some very stupid lines, I wish I could remember them. But the dwarves were the worst. Only about a third of them had beards and they were stupid and had a very poor sense of humour. They looked like wrestlers and their lines included jokes that referred to celebrities of our time & world. One of them might have been joking about Paris Hilton and one definitely said something about Patrick Wolf. All in all, it was disastrous.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Sounds much like a dream I could have ;) :D

[Eönwë]

Sounds much like a dream I could have

It sounds like the future (or what could have been the future wasn't Del Toro isn't directing it).

[Kitanna]

I feel almost dirty and wish to never sleep again after my dream last night. It has been a very long time since I was graced with a LOTR dream, most of my dreams have involved Jurassic Park and my inability to stay away from that blasted Isla Nublar, but when my LOTR dreams come back they come back with a vengeance.

But to the dream itself. A viking Grima Wormtongue was determined to get the Ring away from Frodo and Sam (the Ring being in Sam's keeping at the time). So, Grima sets off into Mordor to find these wayward Hobbits. He manages to capture Sam and proceeds to seduce him. Clearly Sam's love for Rosie Cotton was not enough to save him from that stud Grima. As Grima is getting ready to take the Ring from the now willing Sam, Frodo, in a manly sort of way, jumps down and snatches the Ring away before Grima can get it. And then in an even more manly way he prances away with Sam chasing him crying, "He's really not that evil Mr. Frodo."

Meanwhile I am trying to help Peter Jackson make a better LOTR movie. In doing so I take away his budgeting and refuse to let him use CGI. Then he shows me the non-CGI of Shelob, who looks like a black muppet. And somehow a Jim Henson spider muppet seems like a better idea than a more realistic looking CGI spider.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I understand Sam, it can be hard to withstand that viking charm.

[Babidi Buu]

I've had dreams of LOTR mixed with other things(Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry potter and/or Star Wars) But here are some of the Main ones..

I had a dream that i was marching with the armies of Mordor against minas tirith, Exploring the caves of moria and had a cold when going to angmar.

[Elmo]

God I had a really strange dream about lotr last night and I've hardly though about the books in ages.

On the quest to destroy the ring was me Frodo and Gil-galad (the elf king) :confused:

When we reached Rivendell, I met up with Gil-Galad on a boardwalk populated with suspiciously human looking characters. Gil-Galad was smoking a cigarette and looked really annoyed. He told me he didn't want to do the quest as it was pointless. I told him that his love 'Arafel' would be in Minas Tirith and if he goes on the quest he'd see her.

Cue quest involving me shooting zombies with a shotgun. And a strange interlude where I meet my mum and I'm about to tell the reason Gil-Galad is on the quest., when my brother walks in the room. I change the subject so to hide the controversy about Gil-galad's reasoning.

We then reach Minas Tirith and meet Arafel who tells Gil-galad that his heart is too enamoured with the quest and there's no room in it for her.

Gil-galad looks really angry and then I wake up so I never found out what he was going to say.

Bit of a bizarre dream and I'm not sure where the name Arafel came from.

[Thinlómien]

(I warn you, this is weird)

Sometime ago, I had a dream I was Sauron and who was going to the conference of gods. But Sauron was not quite how we tend to imagine him - he was a very good-looking young woman, elegantly yet perfectly officially dressed with a wide-brimmed hat with black lace and dark red lipstick.

In she strode to the meeting hall, it was some sort of auditorium. She was, fashionably, a bit late. An old and venerable archangel was reading the list of the participants, doing a roll call and giving each god the number of their seat.

Saruman - who had the air and looks of a kind, geeky guy - was sitting on the seat row nearest to the door. Miss Sauron stopped to talk with her old friend for a moment. They exchanged greetings and started gossiping. Alatar and Pallando were not present in the meeting, although it was an important one. "They went for a holiday down south together, you know," Saruman told Sauron, giving her a meaningful look. "Together? I see," Sauron said, with an equally meaningful tone and a wicked grin on her face.

They continued joking for a short while until Sauron realised the roll call had ended and she hadn't been paying any attention. She headed to the front of the auditorium where the old archangel was standing. Her high heels made clicking sounds as she ascended the stairs on the side of the auditorium.

"Excuse me, I didn't hear my name," she said to the venerable crone. He turned to her slowly. "What is your name?" he asked. "Sauron," she said, brushing a lock of red hair from her face. "Your seat is 136, in the front row, next to Zeus." "Thank you."

Sauron found her place next to the half-naked Greek supreme god with white beard. "Hello," she said, sitting down. "Hi there," said Zeus. The dirty old god - as anyone familiar with Greek myths can guess - was eyeing the beautiful Sauron rather appraisingly. They started talking in whispers although the old archangel was talking and everybody else was listening to him with veneration. Zeus started boasting to Sauron of his great strength and she was playing along because of her own reasons. She even bowed down to feel his leg muscles. "You must be as strong as Hercules," she exclaimed quielty and he gave her a pleased grin.

What happened next, I cannot tell, for my dream unfortunately ended. I would have very much liked to see more of the adventures of this babe called Sauron! This dream got my imagination running, though, and it is quite interesting if you compare it to Sauron taking the pleasant form of Annatar...

[wilwarin538]

Lommy, all I can say to that is:

o.O

That's the craziest dream I've ever heard in my life. I like it. :D

[Eönwë]

(I warn you, this is weird)
Thanks for the warning. Though, of course, we expect no less. :p

[Thinlómien]

Haha thanks guys. :D I tend to have long and weird dreams every now and then, it is kind of disturbing but definitely cool. It's good we have threads where I can recount them. ;)

[Aganzir]

I had a dream I was a dwarf scout on a small and secret expedition to Moria. I knew there was a balrog and I was afraid, but we all had firm faith in retaking Khazad-dûm. There were monsters: orcs and giant spiders, but we managed to avoid them all and spent a night in the mines before going back to report to our leaders. Visually, the dream was stunning.

[Aganzir]

I woke up this morning after 6-ish hours of sleep to my alarm going off. My dream ended mid-sentence when I drifted to awakeness.

I had been explaining to somebody completely seriously that dwarves don't procreate the way humans and elves do, but from beginning to end through their anus.

I am sorry, confused, and very amused.

I dreamed that I missed the school bus, rode Shadowfax to school, and arrived in Science class only to have my teacher turn into a Balrog. I then woke up and remembered that I had graduated earlier this month...

This is The Hobbit dream, to be precise, or what's more unusual, a dream about The Hobbit film.

I was in a cinema - a 3D-cinema no less - watching the third part of The Hobbit, which nonetheless was probably something that should have happened in the second part - and it was the part when Bilbo enters the Mountain to spy on Smaug. He walked down some staircase in almost total darkness and then there was a man who looked like something between bearded Wormtongue and Andy Serkiss. It was Smaug in his human form! Yes, Smaug could shapeshift into a human form if he wanted. But he was blind and could rely only on his sense of smell, hearing or feeling somebody's steps resonating through the floor.

He started searching for Bilbo in the darkness, reaching out with his hands, and it was actually pretty creepy. I thought "wow, they did this well" and then Smaug stopped just about a meter in front of Bilbo, who probably had realised that Smaug couldn't see him, and stopped moving and breathing. I was thinking "that's well done, but doesn't Smaug anyway remember the last point where he had heard Bilbo from? Wouldn't he continue in that direction anyway?" Then Smaug (who had his back turned to the camera) started turning around. I thought "okay, they probably made it so that he suddenly hears some movement from the other side, otherwise why would he turn to the completely opposite direction?" Then he looked straight into the camera and it struck me: He turned because he senses movement - me! Or, the audience, anyway. Of course the audience moves, I reflected, brilliant trick from the filmmakers, since other people were no doubt wondering about the same thing I did, why would Smaug turn, and now it has been explained - he heard or sensed them!

It was rather scary when Smaug started creeping towards the camera, but then obviously the audience stopped moving and so he eventually would move back towards Bilbo, who however meanwhile had time to think about what to do next. I thought that was pretty inventive, to make the audience part of the movie and at the same time solve the problem of giving Bilbo a bit of respite from Smaug so he could get out of the tight situation. Not bad, I'd say. I think there wasn't anything much more in that dream, however.

I had a dream tonight, evidently in light of the recent threads up in the Books forum, that Theodred returned to life (either actually, or as a ghost, I wasn't sure). He appeared before Eomer, and Eomer said something very Shakespearian-sounding, like "your face doth look familiar to me". Theodred was disappointed at Eomer's face recognition skills. He then told Eomer that the country has the potential to prosper, and yet it just barely chugs on. He showed Eomer some mine, I think, and how much whatever they were mining for there was compared to how much they actually got out of it. Then, leaving Eomer to work with the mining industry, he got himself a chariot drawn by two horses and rose to a different place, probably the border. There were two guards. He told them he's going to lift this country up, and gave them each a few orders. Then he said he was going to the next thing he wants to improve in Rohan, and left them the chariot ("and those no-good horses!") because they were too slow. But the guards figured that this chariot was a very recent design, made after Theodred's death, so he just probably didn't know how to attach the harnesses properly. When they examined it, sure, as soon as they got a piece to click in place the horses whisked away, chariot and all.

And in the end it came down to Eomer and Theodred debating the nature of the non-covalent attraction between chocolate pudding and a metal spoon.

What the hell was going on in my subconscious that night???

Anyways, have a new dream to report. Eomer (again) was walking with Aragorn. Aragorn was explaining how Rohan got corrupted. Eomer wanted to know the name of the evildoer who did this to his country, but Aragorn would not say. His elusive answers kept riling Eomer up. Finally, Aragorn dramatically revealed the name Saruman. "Saruman!" exclaimed Eomer, "But I have met him before! That was the name of an old servant of a lord who was passing by. He must have posed that way to trick us! He is not a servant at all then!"

Judging by this entry and the last one, my subconscience thinks Eomer is not a very bright lad. :D

Thanks for resurrecting this thread, Gal. It's wild. :eek::D

Time to resurrect this thread once again!

I had a dream about the upcoming War of the Rohirrim film (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=19523). It was aired on TV and myself, Lommy, and several other 'Downers were watching it (I at least recall Boro and Oddwen).

First thing, it actually was not anime, it was live-action, even though somewhat strange. Somebody explained that the anime was scheduled to come in a year, but this was a sort of first-stage version of it, that they first did it with live actors and then they will just "draw over" them and make the anime. When asked why would the film company do that, the conclusion was that likely they wanted to release as much material as possible while they had the rights to Tolkien's works.

The plot was rather unexpected. It actually took place in the aftermath of Helm Hammerhand's death. The main protagonist was some Hobbit (presumably an adventurous Took) who had travelled to Rohan and stumbled upon Helm Hammerhand's daughter when she was bathing in a small pond in the middle of a forest (Fangorn?).

Now, the problem was that there apparently existed a law in Rohan that if somebody sees the princess naked, he should be sentenced to death. That was what the princess demanded once she realised that the Hobbit had seen her.

Dream logic insert: the Hobbit in question was at the same time sort of Frodo/Merry, and he was played by Daniel Radcliffe. The princess was sort of Éowyn and was played by Miranda Otto, but clearly a younger version of herself (she looked like she was about 16).

This is to also explain what happened next: Éomer appeared and tried to both placate his sister and also to explain to the Hobbit that this was just how their law worked and told him to simply cooperate. He was very much trying to mediate, but maintained that the law had to be respected. He showed the Hobbit some old parchment where the law was recorded.

The Hobbit read, in what I understood was to be some old Anglo-Saxon language, something that sounded like: "...arfhaed matté wytha."

"Does it mean you are going to boil me alive in hot tea-water?" the Hobbit asked, clearly not having understood a single word.
"Why would you think that?" Éomer asked, confused.
"Well, here it says 'maté' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mate_(drink))."

Then Éomer and Théoden (who had also appeared from somewhere) proceeded to explain that the only way for the Hobbit to save his life was to fulfil three tasks prescribed by the law. If he manages to do them faster than the Princess, he shall be exonerated.

I don't remember all of the tasks. The second one was a ploughing contest. There was a small plot of land (maybe 10x10 m), the Hobbit and the Princess were each given a plough and using them, they were supposed to unearth some root vegetables that grew there. Frodo/Daniel Radcliffe (I was very conscious of him looking like that at that point) did not seem to be very lucky, the Princess had found maybe four vegetables already while he found none. I thought that this was stupid because clearly the main hero had to survive, so they could not make him lose, but I saw no way he could win. Then he suddenly unearthed a large cluster of the root vegetables at once.

Then the dream shifted for the last time. We were watching it from the outside on some small TV, and the film turned into a trailer of sorts. There was Saruman who looked exactly like Gandalf, and we concluded that this was because in times of old, when he was still 'good', he did look like Gandalf, or at least close enough that people mixed them up.

Then there were several shots of Hobbits as adventurers. Very non-canon. One shot included a Hobbit with tiny fairy-wings, wielding two daggers, twirling them epically in mid-flight and then stabbing them into the back of some tiny fairy dragon that flew ahead of him. We understood that the wings was one of the ways the Hobbit was going to "level up", a special power he was going to acquire.

When I asked about the fairy dragons and the overall fairy-theme, it was explained to me that the owners of the license also owned the license to other fantasy and sci-fi franchises, and that they were going to introduce subtle crossover elements as they were going to place Middle-Earth into the same multiverse as several other fantasy series, but also Transformers, Star Trek and Magic: The Gathering. One of the last things I recall from the trailer was a dramatic view of a massive Transformer towering against the dark sky filled with lightnings, wielding Captain America's shield, and facing it, bravely, a bunch of tiny Hobbits alongside Chandra Nalaar (https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Chandra_Nalaar).

The overall feeling I got from the dream was quite unsettling.

Legate, I get the sense that your dream self just really wants to see Daniel Radcliffe cosplay a hobbit. :D

^This is so many kinds of hilarious, Legate! Also kind of creepy in parts.

Somebody explained that the anime was scheduled to come in a year, but this was a sort of first-stage version of it, that they first did it with live actors and then they will just "draw over" them and make the anime.
You probably know that this is exactly how Ralph Bakshi's LotR was made. (Got to admit, when I first read about an animated Tolkien movie being made I got my hopes up that somebody had at last given Bakshi the money to make the second part after 40+ years.)

Dream logic insert: the Hobbit in question was at the same time sort of Frodo/Merry, and he was played by Daniel Radcliffe. The princess was sort of Éowyn and was played by Miranda Otto, but clearly a younger version of herself (she looked like she was about 16).
So, er, you actually dreamed about Daniel Radcliffe spying on 16 year old naked Miranda Otto?:eek:
This is to also explain what happened next: Éomer appeared and tried to both placate his sister and also to explain to the Hobbit that this was just how their law worked and told him to simply cooperate.
This is where Thain Picard starts wracking his head about how to save Wesley Radcliffe-Took without breaking the Prime Directive.

I really cracked up here. Have you told that to Aganzir?

This is the creepy part. *shudders*

I dare say!:D

To be honest, I think he was doing really well. Especially the ploughing part. A natural talent.

I actually didn't remember that, but good point! It is either my subconscious remembering it while my conscious mind didn't, or else it is pure coincidence, as we say in the Shire.

So, er, you actually dreamed about Daniel Radcliffe spying on 16 year old naked Miranda Otto?:eek:
Well, that is also one way to put it...

This is where Thain Picard starts wracking his head about how to save Wesley Radcliffe-Took without breaking the Prime Directive.
This is actually an interesting remark, because I have recently been rewatching just that. But it absolutely did not occur to me that these might have been linked.

I really cracked up here. Have you told that to Aganzir?
I didn't, but I hope she's going to read this.

This is the creepy part. *shudders*
It's creepy because it's something that could happen somewhere! :eek:
