Barrow-Down Dreams

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Just a little bit of observation, is it just me or is Rune, at least lately, the most frequent "dream-visitor"?

[The Sixth Wizard]

Actually two nights ago I had a dream that there were 1,500 messages in my PM Inbox and I could only get rid of 33 at a time. Yes, those were the exact numbers. It was very annoying in the dream because I had a grim feeling there was some real-life obligation I had in ten minutes or so but I had to get rid of all these first or no-one could PM me!

...Wierd.

Well then, I guess I'll have to add...
I had a dream that Macalaure and I were going to cook something, but when we opened the oven, we found The Guy who be Short hiding inside. Then TGWBS turned into Rune...

That's actually the second dream I had involving Macalaure and cooking, oddly. The other was that we were in the kitchen of the house where I lived at 13, with my mother, cooking breakfast. I thought the eggs had gone bad, but Mac thought they weren't and wanted to cook them.

Well, personally I think it's quite easy to come to a conclusion, but since you don't want to hear anything, I'm shutting up...

Yeah, it kind of begs for a certain interpretation, doesn't it?

Did we cook him?

I never thought to be named in one sentence with "cooking" twice in one post.

Last night I dreamt that durelin annouced on her livejournal that the Vatican had declared independence. Dream-me got confused about who it had declared independence from, and decided it was Israel for some reason; in reality it was probably from the Church/Basilica. Which is only slightly less bizarre.

There is a backstory but I warn you, it doesn't involve BDs or Tolkien and is somewhat nonsensical. Here goes.

In some far off place, there was a powerful witch who was going around killing all the less important witches and wizards. She imprisoned one such withc in her castle. The ghosts of all the murdered witches and wizards came back one night and raided the castle in vengeance; about this time the castle, while retaining its looks, became the Vatican, and the witch locked up in irons became me. The ghosts took the Pope (probably the High Witch transformed; he looked nothing like the real Pope, and more like Lord Farquaad) and locked him up next to me.

Then the raid was over and afterwards somebody freed the Pope, but left me there. I was only freed later, and I don't really remember the rest. For some reason, though, all this lead to the Vatican declaring independence from the Pope.

This was inspired by an episode of the Fairly Oddparents.

And yes, I do have odd dreams. It's got to the point where I prefer dreaming to waking. In the past week alone, in the dream-world, I've explored Ancient Egyptian tombs, observed Iraq invading France and the subsequent effects on the British public transport system, and dreamt a few coherent stories with cool plots.

Well, at least you're not the only one, I assure you that. Sincerely,
the girl who just dreamed she was a water-goddess and swam with fish asking them if they had seen the tailless cat from a Swedish children's book

I have those sorts of dreams sometimes too. Actually, as kids, my little brother and I discovered we were dreaming of the same non-existant castles, cities, etc. and made a map of them.

For some reason, Lord Farquaad as the Pope seems quite reasonable.

Did you go looking for "Pelle Haleløs" ? (Don't know what the exact swedish tranlation would be)

I just have odd dreams where everybody is named Pelle and are dancing in magical showers, while I am racing one of my best friends too a grossery shop to sign this kid for a football club.

I am quite sure that there was a Downer who in my dream was one of the many Pelles, but I am not sure who. . .I want to say Lal or Mac. (because they resemble each other so)

Lommy: 39 different people in dreams. 82 dream-people. 43 total dreams. Average 1.91 people per dream. 1 new person dreamt of every 1.10 dreams. Started dreaming 01/06/2005 (713 days ago), so 1 new dream every 16.6 days.


So, in conclusion, as of today:

TGWBS: 43 different people in dreams. 86 dream-people. 68 total dreams. Average 1.26 people per dream. 1 new person dreamt of every 1.58 dreams. Started dreaming 19/05/2005 (725 days ago), so 1 new dream every 10.7 days.

Oddwen: 29 different people in dreams. 66 dream-people. 34 total dreams. Average 1.94 people per dream. 1 new person dreamt of every 1.17 dreams. Started dreaming 17/05/2005 (727 says ago), so 1 dream every 21.4 days.

Lommy: 40 different people in dreams. 82 dream-people. 43 total dreams. Average 1.91 people per dream. 1 new person dreamt of every 1.10 dreams. Started dreaming 01/06/2005 (713 days ago), so 1 new dream every 16.6 days.

Compared to this on 21/3/07:

TGWBS: 38 different people in dreams. 75 dream-people. 60 total dreams. Average 1.25 people per dream. 1 new person dreamt of every 1.58 dreams.

Oddwen: 28 different people in dreams. 62 dream-people. 31 total dreams. Average 2 people per dream. 1 new person dreamt of every 1.11 dreams.

Lommy: 28 different people in dreams. 51 dream-people. 27 total dreams. Average 1.89 people per dream. 1 new person dreamt of every 0.96 dreams.


It's interesting to note that how often we dream of a new person (somebody we have not dreamt of before) has remained quite stable. The only noteworthy thing is that Lommy has now passed the 1.00 barrier, meaning she no longer on average dreams of somebody knew in each dream she has, as before. Her rate of dreaming of new people is slowing.

The average people in each dream remains almost the same, thought the gap between Oddy and Lommy is closing.

I still have the most dreams, and the most dream-people overall. However, Lommy's subconscious seems to be exploding at an incredible rate and has almost as many dream-people as I do, and almost as many different Downers within them. I predicted this would happen in March.

Oddwen is stagnating.

For the first time today, I have also included the dream frequency. I was astounded by how early we all started dreaming, and also by the fact that we all started fairly close to one another. I found that I dream exactly twice as frequently as Oddwen, with Lommy somewhere inbetween us.



So, future predictions remain more or less the same. I will continue to have the most dreams of all of us. Lommy will soon surpass me and have the most dream-people due to a combination of populous dreams and fairly frequent dreaming. She will also have the most different Downers in her dreams. The only thing I change from my verdict in March is that Lommy may end up with more populous dreams than Oddwen, leaving Oddwen no first place prize at all!



Yes. I do take pleasure in doing this.

Jealuse?

I am actually quite pleased with this development and especially Lal's dream gave me a good laugh. (not that I did not like Rikea's oven)

Earlier I used to have BD-Dreams all the time, but I never featured in any. . . Now I only have dreams about internet relations seldomly, but when I do I often have a bundle.

Not at all jealuse. I just thought it might deserve some sort of sociological, psychological, parahypotetoropohumomaniacal... study... or whatever...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

damn. . .

anyways I shall be most interested in the result if you ever make such a study.

I'm your son? Wow.

I remember dreaming that I was cycling, and Lhuny shouted at me "I've discovered a new chemical boys secrete when exercising! You'll be releasing it now!" But I zoomed down a hill and away before I could reply.

She looked just like her pic.

Apparently, you and Rune are the REAL first BarrowDowns babies.
