1420! curiouser and curiouser

I had the most bizarre dream the other night.

Mithalwen and I were discussing Jane Austen and Anthony Trollope heroines and trying to decide which one would make a good Arwen, Galadriel, etc. We bogged down over agreement on whether Miss Bates would make a good Ioreth. In fact, things got so heated that, erm, *cough*, a mud wrestling exchange broke out. At the loud and boisterous sounds of BDers hooting and hollaring their raucous cheering for various sides, I woke up!

Even more bizarre, when I checked out this thread, I find Celuien's dream:

We went to the auditorium - inexplicably connected to the kitchen of a house I lived in 10 years ago that's actually a good 3000 miles from the HS - and listened to them give a lecture. Which I couldn't hear, and when I could hear it, I couldn't understand because it was in an unidentifiable foreign language. Other Downers (sorry, I can't remember who), were also in the audience and looked very intent on listening. At the end, everyone cheered.
Some kind of elven osanwe?

Well. Celuien? Are you sure it was a lecture and not a mudwrestling match?

Bethberry: did you enjoy it?

Quite sure, though at my high school the terms occassionally seemed interchangeable. (Okay, okay, it wasn't that bad, but I hated high school, so I can make fun of it if I want. So there.)

Osanwe might well be involved.

My dream last night involved the Downs for a bit. In the first part I was trying to scale these walls and obstacles, I think it was in a forest. I don't remember it very well, though. The part I remember most distinctly is that Saucie showed up in a later part of the dream where were were in some fancy place all dressed up. Of course, Saucie looked nothing like himself, he had very white hair and looked rather haggard and quite unshaven. But it was him all the same.

I've had my first Downs Dream-or meta-Dream. Basically I dreamt that I dreamt a dream with weird Celtic imagery involving the Triple Goddess in the form of Diamond, Fea and Jenny, woke up (still in the dream) and decided to submit it to the Barrow-Downs, but then got distracted and swanned about in London for a bit. Then I really woke up.

Oooh...omnipotence and omniscience!

So I've got that going for me...which is nice.

Interesting that the three of us are getting grouped together. (Anyone else seeing a wolf-team?)

Ang, I like the way your subconcious mind works. Now if we can only get to the point where you dream that I am The sole Goddess....


Quote:
Diamond and Jenny as their current avatars. The fact that on encountering Audrey Hepburn in the subconscious world (not for the first time) I now instantaneously identify her as Diamond is...curious...
Excellent! I knew it was time for a change when Oddwen started dreaming of me as Daffy.

We'd be invincible.

This night I dreamt that I was to meet Abers in Skovlunde, Denmark. I knew that she was due to arrive a day before we were going to meet. I decide to send her an SMS and to do that I have to go into a phone booth next to the train station, just I have send it a person looks down on me from the station and cries out "Abercrombie of Rohan !" I of cours goes to check out who this person is. It turns out to be on of Abers friends who looks very much like JennyHallu, she tells me that I am allowed to say hello to Abers, but that is that. The reason she gives me is that her and some others have arranged a party for Abers and her boyfriend is going to show up as a supprise. Apparently Abers will go crazy when she see him and therefor I cannot be there.
