Today, I had a dream that me, Lommy, Kath and Rune were going somewhere by bus through the countryside. We were discussing something during all the journey, but I don't remember what. I remember Rune had enormous rucksack (and he looked like Karl Marx, of course). In the end we arrived at our destination, and I remember the end was very sad, because we had to part. That's about all I remember from it.

EDIT: Oh, and something else I remembered now. It was also that (we knew) on the forum, Lommy had some signature, from a poem or something, which was very sophisticated (and I did not understand it), and it had something to do with cauldrons.

And also there was something that (while we were riding, probably), Rune stopped at a mini-market to buy some sort of cakes with strawberry jam. I think that there was something that either the saleswoman accused him of stealing, or that he accused one of us of stealing. I am not sure.

Cool, it has been a while since I have appeared in a dream. . .but this is probably the most unrealistic yet!

Me buying cake !? I never buy cakes at mini or super markets as I am very picky about cakes, I prefer home-made cakes or maybe from a good cafe/restaurent and so far there is only two contries in wich I really enjoy the cakes, Denmark and Austria.

Other than the cake part it sounds like a good trip.

I also prefer home-made cakes, so I don't know why it appeared there. But maybe you did not buy it for yourself?

Trivia match is getting to me...

Last night I fell asleep looking for the answer to the trivia question. Here is the result...

Anyway, all the contestents were in my kitchen, and The Might was in the corner standing, and the rest of us, except me, were all sitting. I was standing by the fridge watching people, probably looking for clues. The Might asked a trivia question, and Macualare(sp?) said "So ----- is the answer?" (I can't remember the word, it was really weird). TM looked at him funny and said something to the effect of "good job, you just told the other team the answer." TM asked another question, and Mac did pretty much the same thing. We all started laughing, but then I realised, and said, that he hadn't come up with quotes, so if my team could find the quotes, we would get the extra points. I think by the end I figured that I wouldn't be able to, because the way the questions were constructed the answer was one of the words flipped backwards, so no quote would apply.

Dream ended about here, but I will add that all I remember of how everyone looked, was I believe everyone had dark hair, and Mac looked alot like the picture of TM found on the picture page.

Finduilas, that's hilarious! But there is one thing that puzzles me - your dream seems to have been unbelievebly realistic! Normally (at least my) dreams do not have such continuity, or are more crazy in general

And TM, you hear that? You should be proud of the game you created

Realistic except that everyone was in our kitchen! It was really funny listening to her tell me the dream this morning as we prepared breakfast before I came to work...

"The Might was standing there," Fin gestures to the corner where the Lazy Susan is by the stove and I received an instant picture of the Might standing with his hands resting on the counter top behind him, looking at all the contestants, "Mac was there," she pointed to the pastry table. "I was standing here. . ." It was pretty funny.

I looked like TM? Well, maybe if I shaved.

I'd go for such trip with such people any day!
Now I only wonder what was in Rune's rucksack...


Finduilas's dreams are affecting mine. The night after Finduilas had her trivia match dream, I had mine.

I went to the petrol/gas station that is near my dad's place. It was late night and I was going to buy something, I don't recall what. When I entered the station I noticed that my trivia match team (Macalaure, Folwren and Gil-Galad) were sitting on the floor of the station and they had playing cards in their hands. They were trying to solve the current trivia question. There were two people of the other team in the station as well. I'm not sure who they were but I think they were Gwathagor and Finduilas. I joined my team mates and we were gloating to the other team as there was four of us present and of the other team there was just people.
Then we got bored of sitting on the petrol station floor and went to another place. It was a room with wooden walls. In the middle of the room there was a huge trampoline-like construction made of a big light blue sheet spread over wooden poles. Mac, Folwren and Gil climbed on it and started jumping. I was a bit sceptic as I didn't trust the sheet to be strong enough to be stood on, not to mention jumping. "Come on, it's perfectly safe", Mac told me. "Yes, it is, come on", Folwren echoed. Gil wasn't concentrating on us at all, just jumping up and down. "Okay then", I agreed hesitantly and climbed on the "trampoline". I started jumping. "See, it's perfectly safe. Just like we said", Mac said. For a few seconds we all four were jumping merrily, but then the sheet cracked/tore below me and I fell to the floor.

Now I know a psychologist would make an interesting analysis of this and of how I see our team but I don't even want to know...

I guess this is technically a Barrow-Downs dream, it's just a very lame one.

I dreamed "Oddwen" was the name of a very famous brand of pants.

Somehow I can see Mac doing that. *remembers the rock-climbing episode*
