"Yes."

And there was an awkward silence.

Sadly, that does sound quite like the kind of conversation one could have with me.

Why are you people dreaming of Rikae and me all the time? Give us some privacy!

Today, I had a Downish dream. I had several even in the days before, but I don't remember them. From the one I had today I remember only two episodes: First, I was talking in French with Lhuna and it was really very bad as I did not seem to be able to put together a simple sentence. Second, Lommy complained in a PM that I received from her (as response to my PM), that I did not use enough smileys in that PM I sent her.

The night before last night I had a long and vague un-BD dream which featured a short episode with Mithalwen as a fairy godmother living in a creepy ghost manor full of spider webs and Nogrod playing a strategy computer game called "Commodus" against Legate in the internet.

I just have to point out one thing: please look carefully at the syntax of the sentence. The second part obviously says "...living in a creepy ghost manor full of spider webs and Nogrod"

^Now that is what I would call nit-picky...

Anyway, I had two BD dreams last night. The first one was quite horrible, the second one quite crazy.

In the first one, I heard about an explosion there had been in the healing houses of Rivendell (which was situated in Idaho). My first reaction was: "Oh my god, Brinniel was there!" I wanted to find out if she was alright, so I and my three closest friends tried to find a hospital from which we could call some Idaho hospital. It was quite difficult and I was thinking all the time: "I hope Brinn's not dead, I hope Brinn's not dead..." Aganzir (being one of those three friends) was thinking other things: "I just pity Oddwen. She has a horrible flu and no one's paying any attention to her - everybody's just thinking about Brinniel. Poor Oddwen, this always happens to her." We didn't find a hospital, but we found a library and I dashed to a computer and went to check BD, LiveJournal and Facebook if there were any news of Brinn. To my horror, there was a short message in her facebook page: "We lost both our daughters today. Our little Victoria, who was only 14 years old, has left this world. We are both heart-broken and comforted by the idea that her older sister Erin will be there to guide her to the other world. Our grief is endless. -Erin's mother". I just looked at it and thought it can't be true and started crying. Then I woke up. I was looking at the computer screen (which showed Brinn's facebook page) and my three friends were standing behind me. "Ir was only a nightmare, wasn't it?" I asked. My friends said they didn't know and that I should update the page (which was still showing the morbid message of Brinn's mother). I updated it and it disappeared. "So it was a dream!" I concluded and burst laughing, I was so relieved. I wrote Brinn a facebook comment saying: "I had a horrible nightmare last night." Then, the dream really ended.

It was quite a scary dream and odd too. I know it must sound comical (especially that Oddwen-part) but it really didn't feel comical at all before I woke up in the dream. But Rivendell's in Idaho? And Brinn has a little sister called Victoria?

The other dream was maybe as weird but far less depressing. In it, The Might had founded a mine and wanted to capture slaves to work in it. For some reason, he ended up choosing Nogrod (who was described as a "woodland sámi person"), the father of a friend of mine (he was described as a shaman), a Rohir man called Slimyhands and me.

Sadly, I woke up before anything else happened in the dream. I really wonder about that Rohir man and the descriptions of Nogrod and my friend's father...

The Might · 12-01-2007, 06:33 AM

I think my plan has been uncovered...must run!

I would actually be interested to ask how I looked in the dream?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-01-2007, 06:38 AM

The first dream was really horrible, Lommy. I can't possibly imagine a sadder dream. In the general context, even that comment does not sound too much comical. *shudders* If I even had such a dream, it would be quite horrific experience, I must say. I would like to see what Brinn thinks of that.

And the second one was really weird. Though I always knew TM was up to no good

Aganzir · 12-01-2007, 06:59 AM

Why thank you, Lommy. Of course I know how cold you've always considered me, but isn't that exaggeration?

I laughed quite much at the second dream, though.

At least I was not dead and I got a big house

After a long and odd introduction part (featuring a sulky Faramir who was wearing trendy glasses and Boromir leaving for Rivendell by tram) my last night's dream turned quite gruesome.

I came home and went to see my tortoise. In the dream, I also had another tortoise. When I looked to the terrarium to see if the tortoises were alright, I found a third tortoise. I picked it up to have a closer look at it. The most creepy part was that it had six legs instead of four. I dropped it and almost instantly I realised that my tortoise had two extra legs as well. And then I realised there were several other six or eight legged tortoises in the room. It was horrible. I climbed to sit on my bed (yes, climbed, I and my sis have a bunk bed and I'm sleeping in the upper bed) to be further away from the grotesque tortoises and wailed I must be cursed.

I heard a maniac laugh and a voice that told that my skin would be ripped off. So, suddenly I was without skin and wondering how could I still be alive. (Thank you, Nogrod, and your ww narrations...

) Horrified, I tried to see how it had affected me. My bare arms looked pretty normal (so nothing like just muscles and bones), just paler and little red lines were everywhere. I remember I thought I didn't want to see how my face looked.

I decided to call my aunt and ask for advice if she knew any witch who could make a counter-course. She told me I should have a look at a text she would send me and that I should call an Indian witch who was in her forties. The text was a very long philosophic dialogue between Lhunardawen and a witch deity. I called the witch (who turned out to be Nerindel). She told me I should not trust Kath's advice, because "she can't see the reality. There's a wall full of holes between each human being and the reality. Kath, she can only see through those holes, nothing more. She can't remove the wall in her mind. Even you have more potential." And then, thankfully, she told me she'd help me.

After that I woke up. That was all too crazy and quite disgusting. I continuously have dreams of sinister extra tortoises popping out from places and something horrible happening to my little darling tortoise, but this was one of the most disturbing this far. The sight of a six or eight legged tortoise is something very, very creepy. Though, the part with Boromir and Faramir was just hilarious, and I find it funny what my dream said of Kath, who had just been revealed to be the seer in the current ww game before I went to sleep.

Kath · 12-06-2007, 04:00 PM

... huh!? Though I suppose seeing through holes in a wall is a pretty good description of a Seer! Still, scary dream there Lommy.

Volo · 12-06-2007, 04:22 PM

:O What a dream! Have you been reading Renegade's Magic by Hobb lately?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-06-2007, 04:36 PM

Seriously, Lommy, maybe you should stop playing WW for a while. Though it's true that the fear for your tortoise is understandable (while the six-legged thing isn't

) and I could maybe think of other origins for the witches part as well, this is still all too creepy.

Well, at least there was the Boromir and Faramir part...

But I would like to pose a question whether Nogrod is sure the outcome of his narrations may not result in lifelong traumas among the readers?
