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.

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).

Another Barrow Downs Dream...

This one wasn't much fun - I would explain that I was really quite tense on Saturday night because I was anxious about the Charity sea swim I was going to do on Sunday (and for which I felt underprepared) and I was also curious / anxious about whether we had won the werewolf game in which I had a spat with Nogrod about being glad I wasn't one of his pupils.

And so I had this dream in which I was in his class, but he wasn't at the front. Instead his voice was coming from a loudspeaker behind us. I think he was talking in English but I couldn't follow since it was distorted by the loudspeaker
and accented and for some reason I only had a text in French (which I do understand well) to follow and though I could read the words I didn't have time to work out each part before he asked me questions on it - which I couldn't answer. It was so annoying that I felt as if I hadn't slept at all and it was only when I realised I had been dreaming and looked at the clock that I accepted I must have been asleep.

I think it was werewolf related version of a recurring dream I have (no doubt when there are things I have not done which I ought to have done) which is that there is an essay I have to do for my degree which has to be submitted the next day and either I haven't known about it or have forgotten and it is a long essay and I haven't read any of the books and I don't understand the question and there is no hope of an extension since it is so long since it was set. It is terribly realistic even though it is longer than I want to think about since I graduated and have a post-grad qualification yet the logic of dreams means I wake up in a cold sweat that my BA isn't valid. Clearly I have a guilty conscience.

Well, you can keep dreaming miss, since I'm now working my way towards being one of the last Downers to recieve a title, let alone settle on one. It's because I'm unofficially, but at a consistent level evil. It's recognized, but hey, there are others with far more of a glamorous track record.

The night before last, before I started my first day at my current job, I ended up having Downer-related normal anxiety/worrying dreams. There was several of them but I could only remember about one where I was up to my gills in bussing trays and dirty dishes, and out of the corner of my eye I see several Downers.

They're scattered all over the place and seem to be doing fine with their plates, so I rush to the back of the kitchen to unload some more dishes, then when I come out I pass Hookbill at a table where he has a few tea mugs and small plates stacked nicely and then at his right is a huge haphazard stack of dishes with green slime all over them. I roll my eyes and somehow take the obvious Alien plates back again, then I end up meeting Nogrod, Lommy and her mother at a table which ends up going nicely (I'm sorry Lommy, whenever you appear in dreams nothing bad really happens, must be what Agan calls 'evil' and I see as relatively fine). Rune was there too, but he kept buying only drinks which would fill my tray too soon so I kept having to go back and forth with drink glasses.
Gradually our forum began to invade the dining area, then I realized I was the only one there from the Downs working, and then the dream ended.

Now I'm more afraid if this actually happens, which I don't think it will. Mostly, for the Alien presence, since most of my human customers would probably be eaten in the process. Come to think of it, I like that idea a little bit...

Amusing dream, Ka. I'm sure if your restaurant got invaded by Downers, it would be something like that. Although, if Alien was there, where was The Phantom? (as far away as possible, I imagine).

I must as well, because I dreamed that I was pulled over by a policeman while driving to buy cards to send to Downers. :/

Ha, I dunno though. All of my good customers have a few cups of tea usually, so it's probably some weird pattern that's been lodged into my cranium.

Oh no, The Phantom would probably be over where my friend works, in the steakhouse... I highly doubt they'd let Alien even near the door, though since he has a thing for disguises, I can't blame him for trying.

In my dream I was walking along and listening to music happily on a sunny day near the metro station when I saw my friend's sister sitting on the edge of the street, I turned my head and saw the same sister of my friend's walking into the opposite direction of me. As we passed she smiled and said hello and I mumbled something like that back. Then as I walked past the friend's sister who was sitting, she rose and laughed that it was the Downer dancing spawn who passed me. I was very surprised by all that.

I've had such amusing dreams lately, that the only BD dream really pales among them. [and now I have a migrane \o/ ]

Doesn't everyone have dreams like that? Mine usually involves exams for which I've somehow forgotten to study... although actually something not unlike your scenario happened to me in real life this year.

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
