I had a BD-ish dream last night. I can't really remember what happened, but I do remember that SpM had returned.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 07-14-2008, 01:22 PM

I've had a few Barrow-Downs related dreams recently... well since I got home from vacation... and they all had Hookbill in them... probably a side effect of reading too much Downer.

I had a dream that Lauri and I went to an Independence day celebration and Groin Redbeard was there, and we talked with him for a little bit and then I think we saw Brinniel and some other American Downers, but then out of nowhere came Hookbill, and I know he's not American. So I asked him why he was there, he promptly replyed "I can go wherever I want to go!" in a very snobby tone, and I thought that he was a bit weird... Anyway for our celebration he showed us a slideshow basically dedicated to Lauri because it was her birthday, I think that there were some P and As there as well...

I had another dream that me and some other BDers were at a place and I don't know where we were, but Lhuna was there and she turned into a werewolf, which is funny, because I don't play werewolf games, so I was confused... But anyway she was eating different Downers and I couldn't , stop her... But I think that Hookbill fell over, I don't know why but he did, but he fell down in what looked like a pew like you sit down on in church... But after that my dream got way scary, so I woke up...

Another dream I had was last night, again with Hookbill...
A convention for the Barrow-Downs was being put on and there were a bunch of BDers in one place that was sort of like a high school gym. But everyone was dressed up like pirates except for me and another person that had a Barrow-Downs t-shirt on, which I think was Gil-Galad, but I'm not sure... And I think that I was standing next to Eomer of the Rohirrim... But when the thing had finally started, Hookbill came on the stage looking very funny, but he was talking so he could introduce the Barrow-Wight. But the manner that he was talking in and the accent he had was very surprising. Because he had this strange American sounding accent and was talking about killing people and many different strange things... that is where that dream ended and another one started...

Wow, I can't believe I'm still included in BD dreams despite being absent lately. And I can't believe I still had one, too!

It was a BDer's birthday - I can't remember if it was Eomer's, SpM's, or davem's. The older Downers (mostly of the old Werewolf crowd, like those from the first 20-odd games, which in my dream included Evisse, Esty, Fea, Gurthang, Lommy, dancing spawn, Farael, Jenny, and Oddwen - sorry I've forgotten most of the rest) decided to have a surprise party for him, even if everyone knew he hated surprise birthday stuff. We were at my house (which looked nothing like my real house) and some of us were just waiting around for him to arrive. I remember being with Enca in particular, and I think Naria or Valier and Rune were there too. I heard Cailin (if Eomer was the birthday celebrant) or Lal (if it was davem - now I'm sure it's not SpM) arguing with someone that he - whoever he was - would just have to live with being surprised on his birthday. Suddenly the alarm was raised and all the Downers shuffled out of the house, and at Nilp's cue everyone began singing the birthday song in English at a dirge-like tempo while someone brought a birthday cake with lighted candles towards davem. Then Eomer (so maybe it was really davem's birthday) started singing faster, and everyone followed suit. I think davem did not get mad at us at all for the surprise.

Later, the phantom was giving a message, and for some reason it was about marriage.

When I woke up, I was lying on my LotR pillow with my roommate's laptop right beside me, a pdf file on "Self and Non-self Recognition in a Calcareous Sponge, Leucandra abratsbo" displayed, and Staind's "So Far Away" playing in the background. Some thirty-two hours later, I and my friends were walking towards our classmate singing the birthday song (still in English), and I had a mini pseudo-birthday cake with a lighted candle in hand. (I just included that last thing in case it has something to do with anything.)

Maybe it's the house you'll have when you're a teacher and all that.

I know this is a pathetic dream, but I mention all my BD-Dreams here and that is not going to change now.

I dreamt that Eomer repped me for my latest post in Terry Slogan and that it was worth 111 points.

Thinlómien · 07-21-2008, 06:17 AM

Well, I'm not sure if this is so special either... Anyway, I dreamt that I was sitting on a bench with Nilp and Agan, and Mith was lecturing to them that they should be flirting. Then I joked something about Volo, and Agan and Nilp laughed at it very much but Mith didn't get the joke.

Gwathagor · 07-21-2008, 06:20 AM

Weird dream: Brinniel showed up at my house and we spent a terrific day hanging out and chatting and doing random fun things in New York City (strange because I live on the West Coast, not the East).

Oh I can be thick about jokes...but I think Agan would make a delightful daughter in law... and I would be the last person in the world to discourage flirting... it helps the world go round

I had a dream last night that was really weird, but it did have Downs-ish qualities to it...

My mom was surfing the internet and came to the Downs and was logged into another account, I asked her why she was not logged into my account... She said that she "accidentally" got an account on the Barrow-Downs. Which is really weird, because she hasn't even read TH or LotR...

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 07-25-2008, 01:17 PM

I had a somewhat Downs-ish dream last night... well what I can remember of it anyway... But what I remember of it, it almost felt real.

I was on the Downs doing what I normally do and I checked the Paper Telephone thread to see if the current game was over and then I looked at some other threads as well... But what really caught my eye is that Hookbill had posted on the what do you assign threads, I had checked the Shire thread first, he said "I know I shouldn't be posting on this thread but..." and that's about as far as I got when it faded into another dream.

I also had a dream a few nights back that different Downers were winning contests to visit other BDers, that was a good dream... except for my grandma was in it and bothering me...

Gwathagor · 08-10-2008, 12:23 AM

Whilst I was at the beach I had a curious Barrow-Downs dream. In it, several Downers showed up at my house - I think they were Thinlomien, Brinniel, Legate perhaps, and maybe Kath or Hookbill - and began helping out with yard-work and various chores around the house. They all spent the night downstairs, but their sleeping bags caught fire randomly. Fortunately, no one minded. It was all rather odd.

Thinlómien · 08-12-2008, 03:29 AM

I've had some 'downish dreams lately, but as I haven't been around, I've forgotten a lot since I haven't written them down. Sufficient to say that according to my subconscious Rune would come to Finland if he gets a frog-ride and a frog to hug, Legate is a murderer (and the best swordsman of our time), puts soap to his food (it's a Czech habit, makes the food more healthy) and watches drag queen books with me. Also, he reputedly made a song with Greenie, it was called "The Ode to the Stabile System" and it praised the governments of Finland, Czech Republic, Zimbabwe and some other countries, and the Catholic Church in Congo.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 08-23-2008, 07:32 AM

My dreams are always related to what's going on in my life. Since I'm back on the 'Downs, is it any small wonder my dreams are as well?

Doesn't bother me any... I like dreaming about you guys.

So I'm walking along a boardwalk. There seems to be a street carnival of sorts occurring to the left of me. Behind me are the people I'm with.

And it doesn't occur to me who I'm with until I see three people walking toward me. Legate and Lommy, and Rune.

And I gasp. And I'm delighted. Because I'm with Nogrod, the phantom, A Little Green, Rikae, Mac, and several others.

And basically it's just like the shindig involving hairy lumberjacks... except cooler because I was there too.

And because we were next to a beach.
