Barrow-Down Dreams

[Aganzir]

Ahahahahahahaha

You had me laughing out loud by the end.

This is amazing - but although I really like beards, I can't see it getting quite that bad.

However, I kept hoping I would grow a real beard before the dream was over. Even if that wasn't the case, it reminds me of a dream I had a few weeks ago and posted on Facebook:

I dreamed women could grow a beard, only it was something really inappropriate, like armpit hair times ten. And then I ran into a girl with a beautifully plaited long beard, and we ended up chatting.
"Of course people stare," she said, "but it's worse if you only have stubble because they think you don't take care of yourself. When it's this long, they can tell you do it on purpose and you don't give a damn. You should try it."
I knew growing out my beard would be a huge step, but I decided to give it a try because suddenly shaving began to seem absurd. Best dream ever.

Haha! Nice dream, phantom!

I had several dreams which I clean forgot after I woke up, aside from the fact that I know they are Downs dreams. It's a bit weird, but every time I wake up with a dream the first thing I think is "Is it a Downs dream?". It got to the point when I answer that question before I even wake up.

And today I finally remembered my dream. For some reason a random assortment of people were being divided into partners if not for life, then for a very long time at least. I'm not sure what for, but it was very serious. I can't remember who was Agan's partner, but she was quite happy. Then Eonwe's name was announced by whoever was calling the names into the mic, and he was partnered with Davos (a guy from A Song of Ice and Fire). He protested that he's not homosexual and would prefer to be partnered with someone of the opposite gender; evidently he took the whole thing to be some massive arranged marriage thing. He was refused, though, and he was quite furious and horrified. I was there too, but I woke up before I was partnered.

Poor Steve.

I love that! Eönwë and Davos, hahaha!

My dream began as one of what I call my morning hallucinations. I tend to put my alarm on snooze and lie in bed half-awake for about 15 minutes before I get up, often without even opening my eyes to put the alarm on pause, which causes all sorts of half-dream half-awake stuff in my brain. Once I dreamt that way that I was a hunter in ww, and I found out that I could win the game if I only pressed the button on my phone (which has the alarm) only when certain numbers appeared, and instead of normal times I kept seeing stuff like 13327952.73. I don't know what I did to the phone, but I was sure I was winning the game, and I obviously overslept. Badly.

So this is not always good. But today was a fun dream. And I awoke on time.

First, in my dream I knew suddenly that when my phone rings this way it means Shelob is close. It worked kind of like Sting glows when orcs are near. Then I saw Agan. Her hair was very messy. She warned me about Shelob, and I said I knew. We saw a very disappointing spider rush by, and the Shelob part was over. (If you were expecting a spider nightmare, be disappointed.)

Then we were somehow transported to Agan's apartment, where she lived with Greenie. She and I started arguing passionately over something, and she was being offensive. Then we decided to put aside our differences, and I asked Agan if I could post on the Downs. For some reason the computer was unavailable, so I had to post from Agan's mobile device. Well, not exactly. It looked like one, but it wasn't a phone. I couldn't figure out how to use the keyboard (typical me ), and Agan got very annoyed. "Look," she said, "if you want to press backspace, it's this button," (points to a blank button), "and this one is enter, and if you press them together it's shift." Well, in my defense, I just saw 2 blank white buttons, so how was I supposed to know how to use them? I was typing from Agan's account, so I said something like "Hi everyone, this is [insert my username], and I'm posting from Agan's place!!!" For some reason my username was not G55 but something very random that does not contain capital letters, like "parrot" or "lizzard".

Greenie came in then, said hi, grabbed her purse, and rushed out again with apologies, because she was late for work and couldn't stay to chat with us.

Then we saw a comercial on TV that had something to do with packing trunks, and we (or at least I) realized that we need to pack, and we packed so many trunks that they piled up almost to the ceiling. We both were tired from piling all those trunks, so we sat on some couches.

Then, for some reason, the setting changes again, and instead of sitting on a couch I am sitting on a desk with my work stuff scattered all over it, and I'm trying to sort out some RL work issues. My mother comes in and tells me to put my work away immediately and start studying for exams, but I tell her that I'm finished my history exam and that I even finished it early. And, lo and behold, my history exam papers are now lying on the desk above my work stuff. My mother seems satisfied and leaves. I don't know why, since at the time of my dream I still had my physics exam to write.

Anyways, not a very Downer ending for the dream, but Agan being offensive is very entertaining to think about when you're not actually trying to argue with her.

[Aganzir]

Aww sorry about being offensive! I don't live with Greenie any more (that sounds a lot like her, though), but even so you're welcome to my apartment any time you wish! Also you're right about my hair being a mess. I suppose that's what I get for being too lazy to brush it oftener than every third day.

Last night I had a dream Shasta announced he had got married! The lucky one was a handsome (I saw a picture) white-haired man of 65, with whom he'd secretly had an affair for five years.

Geez, first I pair Eonwe up with Davos, now you couple Shasta with an old man... What is the message that cosmos is sending through us regarding the single male population?

I used to have lots of dreams about Legate getting romantically involved with various (male) Downers, but haven't had any for a while.
