Barrow-Down Dreams

[Thinlómien]

Okay, this dream probably doesn't amuse you, unless you've played the Middle-Earth: The Wizards card game, or enjoy the idea of Rune as Tom Bombadil (or worse, both ). Anyway, some time ago, I dreamt that Rune was TB and I was Frodo and I came to his house. Tom Bombadil's house was a place in the card game (even though it isn't in reality, at least I think it isn't). It was a place of the category border holds. Rune Bombadil found it absurd and claimed it should be a "wilderness hold". I explained that "wilderness holds" don't exist in the game and that it makes perfect sense, since the only danger that can threaten you in Tom Bombadil's house is that if other travellers stopping there are thieves. Any dangerous things that could attack in a "wilderness hold" if such existed wouldn't make sense, because Tom Bombadil's power over the life in his realm would undo them. Rune Bombadil wasn't convinced and continued eating honey cakes and drinking beer.
