Hey Legate, was Hookbill the Goomba there to cover the election process?

I might have had a dream in which DWII had already started and I hadn't signed in. Aganzir was modding it and Day3 was going on. For some reason the roles hadn't been given yet but the family chart had been made. Aganzir told me that I could and should join, but I wondered if joining so late was legal. I decided it was and joined.

I had a COOL dream the other night...

My brother and I were in his car and driving along the motorway going home. We noticed that all the cars were driving quite fast and people were screaming. Looking out of the back window I saw, far away in the distance, a HUGE Dragon curled up and sleeping. My brother drove faster and we got to the top of Parbold Hill (the hill near my house). We saw that the Dragon was now moving and wandering aimlessly around the countryside.
When we got home Legate and Rune were in the kitchen and pulling lots of tea-pots out of the dishwasher and laughing.
"Don't you know there's a Dragon out there?" I asked, and Rune started crying.
Then Lommy ran into my house and locked the door.
"It's heading for the zoo!" she cried, "We need to save the Penguins! It's after them!" But as I looked out of the window I saw the Dragon's foot step through my neighbour's house. The Dragon looked rather bemused and began shuffling forward. So we all hid under the table. Like you do.
The Dragon destroyed half of my house and then wandered on. Legate complained that all the tea pots were now broken. Rune wore a horned helmet and was very angry about it. Lommy was still trying to get us to go to the zoo but no one seemed to care that I now had only half a house.

Last night Gandalf and I visited Professor and Mrs. Tolkien, who live (apparently) in a hobbit hole. Mrs. Tolkien made me a fruit slushy, and Professor Tolkien offered me tea.

I saw a WW dream once again. Day1 started and for some reason Nerwen and I each lost one because we were attacked. It was obviously so that players would die only after the second attack, but the Wolves could attack twice a Night. I wanted to say something to the mod, but I wasn't sure who it was. I remembered that morm was planning to mod a game with something like this, but I also thought that Aganzir's game was supposed to be going on.

I had one the other night...that lots of the Barrowdowns ladies had a RL girlie get-together. One of my RL friends was there too and when I told her that all these people had only known each other online before, she was amazed - but you all get on really well and they're all really cool, she said.
Funnily enough, I don't remember which women were present or even who the RL friend was. I just remember Lommy being there because I remember thinking, oh, she's grown up a lot since she had that photo taken (the one on the photo page).

If you'd been lucid dreaming then you could have trapped the dragon in the quicksands north of Southport Pier if he was that big he was stomping all over Lancashire!

Did you know West Lancs is one of the places rumoured to be Arthur's resting place and the Douglas is a magical river which runs out of Martin Mere which was supposed to be where the lady of the lake lived? Therefore Lancelot is a Lancastrian - and aren't there links from Lancelot to Dragons?

Some nights ago I had a dream Legate, Lommy and I were talking in the MSN. Legate said he and Might were going to run a LARP because his roleplaying group was very interested in trying it. He told us some words he had invented himself in order to use them in the game, and asked our opinions on them. The only one I remember was Gustavbirch. "It's a tree that attacks passers-by," he explained. Lommy and I thought it sounded like some boring Swedish king.

Last night I dreamed Nerwen posted a picture of herself on the photo page. She looked quite like I had been imagining she would - she was pretty, rather tall and skinny and had long, light brown hair and a narrow face. She was wearing a black shirt and jeans. I don't remember exactly how old she looked like - about 20 or something, maybe a bit more, maybe less.
So, Nerwen, confess!

I think your right, but the only link between dragons I can remember from Arthurian tales is the white and red dragons that Merlin finds and shows to king Vortigern. Then there is Pendragon, but that's Uther.
Lancelot kills a dragon, but that's all I can remember.

I think it's something in the symbolism isn't it? Arthur IS the dragon?

davem will know...

Though I think Hookbill was in fact predicting the spooky Earthquake we had the night before last!
