Here's a post I posted on this thread on some of the alternate 'downs versions some days ago:

Ok, I have had a couple of BD dreams lately...

Sometime last week:
- Elizabeth Taylor had made a petition for Tolkien (don't know why) and Mith, Lalaith and Lalwendë had signed it.
- Sauce and Sauron the White met Peter Jackson in the Helsinki-Vantaa airport. Or it was more like StW meeting him and Sauce overseeing the meeting...

The night before last night:
- I had a couple of them but it seems I've forgotten.

I have to ask Agan if she remembers because I think I told her.
- The only one I remember was that Legate had posted his admin thread and one person (possibly THE Ka?) had replied to it. And when I came to 'downs for the first time after that, guess which thread had been opened and how many people had posted on it...

Last night:
Okay, this is quite psychotic. The dream started with me being on the 'downs. I was playing in a ww game. There was only a couple of players, so there was only one werewolf, and of course I had the bad luck of being the wolf. I had a kill on Night1 and killed Brinniel. We lynched Menel on Day1 but I was suspected quite a lot too, especially by Nogrod. Then came Night2. I decided I'd kill Nogrod, because then people would not think I'm the wolf, because generally I would let Nogrod live in a village consisting of mostly quite players (there was at least Greenie and Shasta and probably one or two other people). The Day and Night phases only lasted two hours and it was the Night when I was thinking about killing Nogrod.

Suddenly I realised I had two unread private messages. One was from Mith and the other from Nerwen. Nerwen's message was odd. She said she had considered starting some odd mirth thread and asked if I wanted to help. I replied: "Yes, I can do the names of the songs in the soundtrack." So I devised 15+ new age -ish names with a Tolkienesque echo. There were songs called Arien's Journey and Golden Goodbye at least. One disco song was called High-Elven High and for some reason I wanted to name the remix of the same song Hyper-Elven Hyper.

When thinking about these songs I was drawn into real ME. I think I was in the fords of Isen and there were dead Orcs around. But suddenly I was in Barad-dûr with Sauron, Witch-King and Gandalf. I was doing a survey on health products and Sauron and Gandalf had opposing views: I think Sauron was representing some big company that fools its clients. Anyway, the four of us were going up the stairs and somehow this was part of the plot of LotR and I knew it very well, but I was afraid for Gandalf nevertheless. (Not for myself because I was, in a way, not there.) Also, I kept thinking that Tolkien made a huge mistake when he made Gandalf be afraid of the W-K.

However, when we had ascended to the top, I was suddenly Théoden and entered Sauron's office. He was really scary and I could barely speak. I knew he was my enemy but I could but show him allegiance and bow down, I was so mortally afraid. Suddenly he was Vladimir Putin. He asked me if I wanted to be the foreign minister. I was really surprised and could not say anything. Then he just smiled at me (it was the sort of tolerant smile you smile to slow-witted children) and I agreed and climbed over his desk to his side and started reading a newspaper that had Medvedev (did I spell it right?) and Angela Merkel on the front page.

Go analyse that...

edit: I just realised I have most posts on this thread... should I be surprised...?
