In my dream, three French girls came over to Noggie's place and I had to keep them company. Only one of them spoke a little English and I mostly had to speak French to them and it was quite horrible because my French sucks... And why I'm mentioning this here is that the girl who spoke some English was somehow Nerwen. And I really didn't treat her well, I ran away from her and the other girls when I heard a Disney song that reminded me of an inside joke and left her to translate my last words which were explanation of the joke - a sligthly rude nickname a 7-year-old boy once devised for a friend of mine.

Last night I dreamed (as I posted elsewhere) that I was playing Werewolf - alas, I remember no other players, so maybe I was playing by myself...an automatic wolf win. I also dreamed that McCaber replied to a PM that I sent him, he said "At least you're clever, I'll let you live.".

I had my first real Barrow Downs dream last night. By real, I mean, one that was clearly Barrow Downs and one that I can remember in detail.
In it, I was so excited to re-introduce a certain character in the Scarburg Meadhall role-playing game. I've been reading Fea's posts about Saeryn for two weeks now and am finally writing a post about Saeryn...I have it half finished, and then I get on the Downs, and I check the Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread. Legate of Amon Lanc (don't as me why it was him) had posted there for some reason... I scroll down, and what do I see? A massive post, pages upon pages, wherein he had done my job of researching Saeryn. He had quotes from her, her history, reasons why she would act in such and such away, and other things. He took it completely out of my hands... I was so angry (sorry Legate) that I nearly began to cry. I hit reply and began to write a post, immediately calling him an 'intruder' and 'thief' and other such names, for stealing the character Fea had given me. In the dream, I decided not to post that post, so I erased it and left. I woke with an oppressed feeling, thinking that I could no longer write Saeryn because Legate had taken her from me.

Oh, what a sad dream, I can imagine
 But I am actually honored to appear in your first BD dream, so no hard feelings from my part

My take on Foley's dream
Legate should enter the Scarburg Mead Hall.

I had a dream last night that Lommy was writing an epic poem for the deathday of this mighty forum - in it she would attempt to place the names of all the Downers who had "mattered" over the years.
She was about forty stanzas completed, but she was stuck for a few rhymes, so she posted it on her LJ for us to see & contribute. She was stuck on one particular line in Oromin's verse, it was a third line and the last word of the fourth line needed to rhyme with "day". Rune suggested "effulge", and obstinately stuck to that word, even suggesting it for multiple lines later in the poem. "I don't even know what rhymes with effulge!" cried Lommy, but she wasn't really impressed when I suggested "indulge". I suggested the word "delay", but Lommy shot that down, saying "'delay' and 'day' is too common!" I should mention for *cough* information purposes only, that my verse was first, but it was only three lines long to the standard four.

I, too, am rather confused by the obscure turtle reference. Is it poetic? Or symbolic? Beware the figurative eight-legged dream-turtle?
Or, what if Nerwen meant "eight-foot [long] turtle" rather than "eight-footed turtle." That might be a Disney reference of some kind.....?

I don't know why Lommy never listens to my advise

I was about to reply Nerwen in French but then I realised I would have to use the past tense of subjunctive and decided it was not worth the pain...
Quote:
 And a night or two ago I dreamed that I and Agan were going to Copenhagen to see Rune next summer. We wanted to bring him something Finnish but we had no idea what. Then we decided we'd bring him a dead seal and a dead dolphin and we'd make him and his friends eat the meat raw and say that in Finland you're considered a loser if you don't do so. We also planned to make up an excuse that would allow us not to eat it...
