Lalwendë's real name was Leroy Brown.

Feel free not to analize that, O Impish one.
You're obviously psychic. You see, I happen to know that Diamond18 is a buxom nurse who looks like Daffy Duck. And Lalwendë isLeroy Brown (makes you wonder about that marriage to davem, now don't it?)

But seriously: hospitals are places of healing and Diamond18 is bigger (in your estimation) than she claims to be. And she's funny in a, well, daffy way. All of which makes her a healer. I haven't the foggiest on Lal. Not enough info, deary.

(Sorry Mith for stealing your child. ) I remeber that Fea was a widowed noblewoman too, but she was young. And Ang was a monk and morm was a common guardsman. Make of that what you will...
Seems you're still processing DWWW XXI.

It means you aren't in need of processing complex inner stuff. Either that or you're a dull lady. Although Roa & Kath do have something....

I can't remember what it was called, but I remember the third post was by this unregistered user named something like "unbalthawen".

Two posts later, the user had registered, and was saying something like "The Only Real Estel and Oddwen are the rockingest people on the planet and I only like them, but Oddwen, I've been to Holland and I don't think I should associate with you."

Then people I didn't recognize started joining in and saying how awesome I was and how much they adored me. (Malkatoj may have been one of these.)

It was a quite possibly the best dream I've ever had. Although it was starting to get quite sad, as the posts got more and more off-topic and I felt the BW was going to close it soon. But I've never been to Holland.
A mixture of very good and very sad, actually. There's a similarity in spelling between Holland and Oddwen, in a weird way, but that's what dreams are about. Basically Unbalthawen is saying you're cool but not enough for me to meet you. That might explain the 'Un'. That's my best stab. TORE, I haven't the foggiest idea what it means about you. It most likely depends on what Oddwen associates you with.

Except for one possibility, which reading Diamond's dream brought to mind. "The Only Real Estel" = the only real hope. We all know that. So whenever you're in a BDer's dream, unless they know you REAL well, there's this "deepest hope of the heart" element in it. Which makes me think about how the only dream I ever had, had TORE in it too!

Ouch. Dr. Dream has a headache after all that. Unpaid, no less. Grrr.

How does being buxom and funny make me a healer? *scratches head*

I sound like a very logical person in your dream.
Well, it made perfect sense to me at the time.

I think I figured out why it was Enca (or something like Enca's sn) who posted rudely in my dream. Her avatar says "Get lost." It's the only thing I can think of, since I can't think of any other reason why she'd play such a role. I have always loved that avatar, but apparently my subconcious finds it rude.

I dreamt about Formendacil.

My family were on holiday with him. We all had this suite in a hotel with a shared living room and separate rooms. When we got there, I think there was some kind of ancient riddle on parchment...

My family and I went out to socialise with the other hotel guests downstairs. I came up in the middle of the night, I forget why, to find three of the windows open. I can't remember whether Form was in or not, but I remember being certain that he'd somehow been transported to the 12th Century and had had amazing adventures. The air smelt different - it was heavy, almost magically scented. Furthermore, each of the three windows blew in different smelling air. I've forgotten one, I think one may have been an earthy scent, and the other was definitely rain.

These different air currents - each beautiful in its own right - were definitely related to Form's adventures in Medieval Europe. I closed each of the windows, having difficulty with the last, rainy one, before going down.

When I came up again with my family, heavy curtains were drawn across all the windows, shutting out all outside light. In fact, they may have been tapestries. I can't remember what Form was doing - I think he was shut in his room. But something magical, or Faerie, as our Dr. Dream would say, was definitely going on in our suite.

Unfortunately, I don't remember anything in detail, like what Form did, what he said, etc. It all comes down to wonderful magical feelings, really.



So... LMP? Influences: I've been reading about Medieval Europe. I've been thinking about Form a lot - I want to ask if he's sane or not.

when I first read that post I wasn't paying attention, so I thought you called yourself a buxom healer. My reaction was "Woah, I don't think she'd be that kind of healer."

Think about it for a while and it'll click. Just wanted to share this in case anyone thought it would be funny.


This is more of a LOTR dream, but I dreamt that a bunch of infection forms from Halo were eating Sauron. It was rather funny watching him run around with his arms flailing in the dream.

Werewolf has taken over my subconsciousness.

I had a dream that it was my school's spring celebration and my class had to make plays in groups of four, the title being "werewolf". All I remeber about the show is that there were people dressed up as lions dancing and in the ww-plays the wws wore a black wolf-suits. They were actually nearly cute. Unfortunately I can't remember anything of the actual ww-playes, except that I got to be a tree in an other group's play...

And I thought I played a lot of video games! I've never dreamed about them, not that I remember at least.

I'm gonna be a Dr. Dream Wanna-be and make something up here.

Let's see, two of your enemies, one from LotR and the other from Halo, are attacking each other.

Clearly, you have two problems that you should use against each other to overcome. Divide and Conquer type of thing, I guess. Any RL problems that might sync with this idea?

I think Sauron is pathetic, and in my dream he was running in circles with his arms waving in the air, screaming like a girl.

I once read something about Mordor vs. the Flood, and I pretty much imagined the result being a distorted Sauron inside a flood blob. I guess this is where the dream came from. The dream was funny nonetheless.
