Who knows! We love you really, it's just our subconscious wolves that want you dead.

I clearly need a sort of witness protection programme to save me from the Downers' collective unconscious....

Look at the bright side of it, the collective unconscious might be turned into collective conscious and we won't need the forum to discuss things anymore. Wouldn't it be cool if you could just switch to BD-mode anywhere and play WW. Sure would make Swedish lessons more interesting.

Having quickly searched the thread for refs to me.. I retract ..I really just need to be protected from Lommie's subconscious. She has had me attacked by a multitude of suicide bombers, dying (alongside Boromir88), and metamorphosing from David Beckham.

Yours was sweet ..I don't need to be protected from you

I had a long dream with a Downs theme going on, but it was mostly just some Downer being around.

First I tried to get people who I mostly didn't know to join the Downs. So we went to a library where we could find computers and entered the Downs which turned out to be a small village-like place. Every new member got a PM from Hookbill with some general welcome talk, a picture of a dragon and The latest Downer. One of the new members, a guy I went to confirmation camp with, got very excited about The Downer as there was a long red snake-like cord in the picture. He pulled the cord out and tried to strangle me.

While the guy was messing around with the cord I noticed that Mith had a new title. I went the Title-thread and saw that somebody had posted that it's even wierder than Volo's, in a positive sense. I agreed. Then I somehow I found myself at home. "Mith got a great new PT!" I told my mum. She looked at me suspiciously and was about to say something, when I said, "Oh, right. You don't know anything about that..." She shrugged, sighed and went off to do whatever she was doing.

I was back at the Downs village with my three-year-old brother. We walked to a wooden table, where Hookbill sat. My brother had something to ask so he asked, in Finnish. Hookbill was confused and said something in English to which my brother answered again in Finnish. He was obviously playing, because he could understand what Hookbill was saying and could just as well answer in English but didn't. Soon Hookbill got annoyed and pulled my brother away from the table.

Later in the dream there was a sruggle of some kind - I still don't know why - between two big concrete buildings.

I had a confusing dream yesterday, where the Downers could give things to each other through the monitor. You simply reached your hand and whatever you put inside your monitor was accessible for everyone. I remember when there were more people posting (it was more like a chat) on one thread, Roa offered them coffee she had at home. So people could take a cup and place it inside the monitor (while still holding it), and then from the top of the monitor Roa's hand with a pot of coffee appeared and filled the cup. Then I remember several Downers, including Hookbill and Volo, started to exchange some medicaments this way, because some of them were ill. And that's all I remember.

Finally!

I was dreaming about Homestar Runner cartoons, in one segment the Cheat & Strong Sad were arguing about something, and Master Hookbill kept jumping in yelling "Throw ice at it!".

It really is the only way to deal with arguments.

I dreamt last night that I lived in an apartment complex, and that Diamond18 was moving back into the apartment that she had vacated several weeks before. I remember snooping around, looking at all the evidence she had left behind her the first time - including a heart scraped into wet cement that read

I also dreamed that Rune was using any means possible to contact me - email, phone, instant message, letter, telepathy, friends...every time I turned around, there he was. Stalker.

I was about to complain that I didn't have any interesting BD dream for a long time, and tonight it came. I had a dream that there was a presidental election at the Downs, and in the end there were three possible candidates: Nerwen, Aganzir and Lommy. When thinking about my vote, I presumed that Nerwen is not going to get enough support from others, so voting her would have been a waste of vote. I decided to vote for Lommy.
I may also add that the voting process was somewhat nontypical: the candidates did not have any speeches or presentations or anything like that, instead, if a voter chose to vote for someone, there was time reserved for every candidate when she was sitting alone in what was in fact a class room in the high school I used to attend, and each voter could come in and tell the candidate why they decided to vote her.

I think it's quite cool that you voted me - just as long as you make sure you don't do it in ww.

I had an odd dream and it featured some 'downers, unfortunately I can't remember whom. Volo was there certainly, though: I was travelling with him in some odd country and he did some crime and was sentenced to receive ten lashes. He was terribly afraid of it and all I could think of saying to comfort him was: "You don't die of it." (Might tell something of my presumed social skills... ) Then for the rest of dream I wandered around the weird country, trying to find Volo a lawyer and he followed me wailing and walking like a zombie and not being of any assistance at all.

Maybe I'm a bit sadistic, but now afterwards that dream actually amuses me...

I'll have you know that I was unanimously elected to the Student Council when I was in high school!
