And so does your dream logic. I would never ever insist anyone on killing lions. I adore them.

I had a minor dream in which I discovered my grandfather (who has been dead for, what, eight years) had been an active Downer when he still lived.

Hilarious!

Tonight I had a dream I could report here. I was going on a trip somewhere and I had to catch the train. But the train was leaving and I had to hurry. With me, there was Gil/McCaber/The Might in one person, who chose to take a shortcut and run across the railway to get to the train. I followed him. Then he turned into Rune with enormous rucksack (sorry, Rune. I don't know, but that's really worth psychological analysis: in my dreams, you either are shopping, or carry an enormous rucksack. Or both.) and he was shouting on me to hurry, as a train may arrive and it will run over me if I stand on the rail, of course. But, as it goes in the dreams, I could not move very fast. I could not even coordinate my movements well. I was moving just by milimeters, really. And so of course there was the train, but the driver spotted me and stopped, yet I, of course, was still moving horribly slowly there and blocking the train's way. The driver started to be quite upset, the people in the train and around are becoming upset... but suddenly Esty appeared with a solution. She took a throwing dagger and threw it at me. Her conclusion was simple: she was convinced that the person on the rail is not really me. She concluded that it is an unreal clone of myself, which will disappear as soon as it is hit. Well, she wasn't right, of course. Anyway, I woke up after that.

I think it is lovely how you in your dreams know what is the logic behind everybodys actions. . .anyways I do have a big rucksack.

I dunno why, but I find that image rather beautiful and I'm not especially fond or repulsed by lions either way. I'm glad you didn't kill the lions.

I also don't mind being killed by Agan. I imagine it was probably very clever and downright hilarious. Just the way I want to go.

... Though, do I have to be killed randomly with Sleepy? Ugh, how original...

Interesting. He's always trying to sell me something in my dreams, and it's usually the oddest bunch of objects.

Oh, that's nice to hear.

I will keep it in mind, in case we will meet each other some day.

And to be killed randomly with Sleepy? Nay, I'm rather sure it was intentional indeed.

I had a dream I found an old Disney cartoon which had an 18 certificate in a local DVD rental store. Its name was HerenIstarion, and all that I could find out of it was that it began with a scene of a young girl committing suicide at her friend's birthday party. I would have wanted to rent it, but I didn't have much money and thought I wouldn't have time to watch it, anyway.

Lovely!

It'll sort of be like Master and Margarita, minus the dual story.

Intentional? Arrrgh... I was hoping that I'd go out alone and with style, to leave everything to my numerous animal friends. Maybe some to my human friends, just to keep them happy.

Oh well, you're plan, my stage.

The other night I had an odd dream.

For reasons best known to the government I was at Oxonmoot and yet reluctant to go in.

I seemed to think that the Watcher in the Water was there. Anyway, I eventually went in only to discover a large crowd had gathered outside. Rune and Lommy were there and laughing at something. It turned out Davem was on the roof and refused to come down. Lalwende was trying to entice him down by burning his wallet, but he was hugging the chimney and saying he'd stay there forever...

Yes...

I don't know if he ever got down because I decided I was bored with waiting for him to come down and it was suddenly night time for no reason. Oddwen appeared out of nowhere and asked to use my mobile phone, it was then I realised I didn't have it, nor did I have my wallet. I asked Lal if she'd seen it and she said she'd burned it by accident.

Then something different happened that was unrelated...

Oddwen · 04-14-2008, 09:25 AM

I had a dream last night. With Barrow-Downers in it.

I dreamed that I went Abroad to visit Downers, with the knowledge that Diamond18 was in the region too. I made my way unannounced to Rune's house, where his (possibly abusive?) parents were less than happy to see me. I was puzzled to see that his father was Nogrod, and even more puzzled to see one of my RL friends and a group of her manga-nerd posse show up and cry "Let's form a Fellowship of our own!". After Noggie kept trying to get me into his recording studio, I fled to Volo's house where I met Diamond, and we had a nice quiet evening.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 04-14-2008, 09:38 AM

I cannot help to wonder what my parrents where doing at my house, it is not like I have them over very often. Maybe Nogrod can explain, both why he was at my house and why he is abusive. (and why he has never told me he was my father)

Eönwë · 04-14-2008, 10:09 AM

Nogrod: I am your father!
Rune: Noooooooo! Wait, haven't I heard this before?
Nogrod: Wait.. I'll rumage through what I did here... Maybe that will explain it.

Oddwen · 04-24-2008, 06:23 PM

I dreamed last night that I was trying to move into Diamond18's house and get rid of her cats without her noticing, before Rune reached it on his raft. Volo kept trying to give me away.

Kath · 04-24-2008, 06:54 PM

Good for Volo! Can't have any more missing cat escapades for poor Di.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 04-24-2008, 07:23 PM

ah yes, my mysterious and ever pressent raft. . .how could I forget about that.

I think I overstated that - it was more like moving them out of my way, not eliminating them.

No worries Di, er, right?

No kidding, you two had more adventures down the Amazon than you could shake a stick at...

Oh wow. I can't believe I haven't read about this until now.

I had a dream Lhuna and Nerwen came to Finland and participated in an RPG campaign of ours that was run by Nogrod (really such campaign doesn't exist). Lhuna lived at my place and Nerwen at Nog's. It was their last day in Finland, yet Lhuna and I just sat in my room. I was mostly hanging on the Downs and she was talking to me. We wondered if we had time to finish the campaign anymore, as it was quite late in the evening already (9 pm I think) and we should have gone to Nog's to play.

"I wonder what they are doing right now," said Lhuna.
I remembered talking to Lommy about her summer plans (in RL) a long time ago, and she had said she will play werewolf, and when she's not playing she will sit with Greenie on Nog's sofa doing nothing (ok, she said also other things, but that was all that matters). An image of Nerwen sitting bored on the sofa with them popped into my mind.

Also, we posted the main synopsis of the campaign onto the Downs. All I remember is that my character's name was Kamparauskukampela, which means something like... comb-ray-flounder.

I think in the same dream we also discovered that Morthoron was really a woman.

Warning: Playing Werewolf is dangerous to your mental health.

I read the first few words of Agan's post and thought, "Why is she revealing her dream? Wait, wasn't Nerwen just lynched?"

Yay, I get to go to Finland - if only in someone's dream. Thanks, Agan!
