Oh, I forgot that part. You looked quite odd. You were some sort of cyborg. You were about 2m tall and you had broad shoulders and your robotic suit (or something like that) was in the colours of your avatar. You had a helmet or a mask, but your face looked quite similar as in the photopage pic.

Seriously, I wonder if there's something wrong with me as I didn't consider that special or weird enough to be mentioned...

I really can't understand how you dream up such things. I find it odd that all around me have such dreams, while I haven't dreamt anythign I can remember in eons.

I died?! Well, that is a horrible dream or rather, dream within a dream.

I don't know what's more shocking: that I died, or the fact that Rivendell is in Idaho of all places (god forbid), or that I must have an illegitimate sister out there somewhere because she's certainly news to me.

Anyways, it's a good thing I'm not in Idaho right now, otherwise I might be a little more freaked out. Btw, if you have any sort of psychic ability Lommy, please do tell me now.

It feels oddly good to be dreamt about after a looong time. Must be a sign of addiction...

How your subconscious knew that I'm currently attempting to speak French (actually, sing in French - a version of "Angels We Have Heard on High") is beyond me, but I can assure you such a conversation would be equally bad for my part. I've only recently developed a profound respect for French speakers.


Lommy, I prescribe a few days without sleep, and no Downs either.

I don't know. I think that the very easy explanation could be that my subconscious messed up France and Philippines because they both start on F (at least if one is not writing that with English spelling). But that's a mistake I would never make consciously and I don't even think French was supposed to be your mother language in that dream. But it's the only thing that I thought of right now.

While I am here, I might add that today I had a Downish dream (again). I won't be elaborating on that here fully, also I don't remember it all, but the point was that I missed certain Downer's birthday and I was sitting by the "Happy birthday" thread which was slowly filling with congratulations from all the Downers, only I was just sitting in there, thinking what better than just "happy birthday" should I post. And since I spent so much time sitting by there, whenever I got any idea of what I could post, I refreshed the page and saw that it was already posted meanwhile. The dream was really, really depressing - or at least I felt like that.

Oh, and I could also mention one funny detail, that among all the congratulations TM posted (with no connection to anything around) a short post saying: "My head does not look like a coloured helmet."

Mine, of course, Legate.

I just woke up from a BD dream. I was in a Werewolf game - it felt like it was a real life game but I didn't quite get the same heavy heart-thumping feeling I did the last time I dreamt of it, if I did dream of it at all - and we were several Days into it. The wolves were in a desperately mad hunt for the Seer so they began killing every which person they thought was the Seer (just like what Eomer and Oromin did in WW VII, when they had taken down dancing spawn and Elempi before Eomer, after Oromin's lynching, thought of killing Kath) and the person who had been killed the previous Night was Valier the Arranger, and Mandos had something to do with her death. I was wondering why it took the wolves so long to kill me, but I realised then that I was just an ordo Lover and they would not take any interest in killing me. And then late in the night, or it was very early morning, I was hiding from the wolves in my parents' room, then my dad awoke and asked me, "You're still alive?" Then he began asking me if I was taking the standard precautionary measures (whatever they were) to keep myself from getting killed.

Too bad I never found out who the other Lover was.

I suppose the dream about Brinn was horrible to experience but I thought it was really quite funny to read about. Especially the part about poor Oddwen and her flu...

I had a very long and disturbing dream the other night which had nothing to do with any BDer, but then at the very end I walked out of my grandmother's house and since, apparently, Rune lives across the street (who knew?) I went over there and he came outside wearing a fake a mustache and goatee and told me, very excitedly, that he was going to El Dorado. Then he started to sing and dance, and I wondered if it was from The Man of La Mancha but decided it was best not to ask, so I just smiled and nodded.

Sadly, Lhuna's advice came too late: I had already gone to sleep and as you might guess, I had BD dreams. The first one was quite vague and it involved almost all players of Nog's game posting something on the admin thread. Scarily enough, when I woke up there had been quite a many posts on the admin thread...

The second one was very odd. Or what do you think of this:

I was in a kitchen that looked suspiciously like Agan's kitchen. There was an identical kitchen next to it. I was in the first kitchen, Legate was in the second one. I did not have a cheese slicer but I needed one, so I went to Legate's kitchen to ask if he could borrow me one. I came back to my kitchen with the cheese slicer Legate had borrowed me and realised I didn't have cheese either, so I had to go back to Legate's kitchen and ask if he could borrow me some cheese as well.

*does not want to hear a freudian interpretation of this*
