Barrow-Down Dreams - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Here's a post I posted on this thread on some of the alternate 'downs versions some days ago:

Ok, I have had a couple of BD dreams lately...

Sometime last week:
- Elizabeth Taylor had made a petition for Tolkien (don't know why) and Mith, Lalaith and Lalwendë had signed it.
- Sauce and Sauron the White met Peter Jackson in the Helsinki-Vantaa airport. Or it was more like StW meeting him and Sauce overseeing the meeting...

The night before last night:
- I had a couple of them but it seems I've forgotten.

I have to ask Agan if she remembers because I think I told her.
- The only one I remember was that Legate had posted his admin thread and one person (possibly THE Ka?) had replied to it. And when I came to 'downs for the first time after that, guess which thread had been opened and how many people had posted on it...

Last night:
Okay, this is quite psychotic. The dream started with me being on the 'downs. I was playing in a ww game. There was only a couple of players, so there was only one werewolf, and of course I had the bad luck of being the wolf. I had a kill on Night1 and killed Brinniel. We lynched Menel on Day1 but I was suspected quite a lot too, especially by Nogrod. Then came Night2. I decided I'd kill Nogrod, because then people would not think I'm the wolf, because generally I would let Nogrod live in a village consisting of mostly quite players (there was at least Greenie and Shasta and probably one or two other people). The Day and Night phases only lasted two hours and it was the Night when I was thinking about killing Nogrod.

Suddenly I realised I had two unread private messages. One was from Mith and the other from Nerwen. Nerwen's message was odd. She said she had considered starting some odd mirth thread and asked if I wanted to help. I replied: "Yes, I can do the names of the songs in the soundtrack." So I devised 15+ new age -ish names with a Tolkienesque echo. There were songs called Arien's Journey and Golden Goodbye at least. One disco song was called High-Elven High and for some reason I wanted to name the remix of the same song Hyper-Elven Hyper.

When thinking about these songs I was drawn into real ME. I think I was in the fords of Isen and there were dead Orcs around. But suddenly I was in Barad-dûr with Sauron, Witch-King and Gandalf. I was doing a survey on health products and Sauron and Gandalf had opposing views: I think Sauron was representing some big company that fools its clients. Anyway, the four of us were going up the stairs and somehow this was part of the plot of LotR and I knew it very well, but I was afraid for Gandalf nevertheless. (Not for myself because I was, in a way, not there.) Also, I kept thinking that Tolkien made a huge mistake when he made Gandalf be afraid of the W-K.

However, when we had ascended to the top, I was suddenly Théoden and entered Sauron's office. He was really scary and I could barely speak. I knew he was my enemy but I could but show him allegiance and bow down, I was so mortally afraid. Suddenly he was Vladimir Putin. He asked me if I wanted to be the foreign minister. I was really surprised and could not say anything. Then he just smiled at me (it was the sort of tolerant smile you smile to slow-witted children) and I agreed and climbed over his desk to his side and started reading a newspaper that had Medvedev (did I spell it right?) and Angela Merkel on the front page.

Go analyse that...

edit: I just realised I have most posts on this thread... should I be surprised...?

A few nights ago I had a dream Brinn posted she's going to meet Groin Redbeard now that she's in Europe. I wondered why Groin should travel to Europe just to meet Brinn - surely it would have been much easier to wait for her to come back to the States.

The second dream isn't actually mine but my non-Downer friend's, who said I could post it if I wished.
She told me she had had this dream in which she & I were at school. She asked me to look after her bag for a while when she went somewhere. When she came back to me, her bag wasn't to be seen and I was smirking.
"Where's my bag?" she asked.
"I don't know," I said.
"Tell me now. What have you done with it?"
"I have hidden it."
"Really, this isn't funny. Where is it?"
"Well... I called Hookbill and he told me to put it in the fridge."
She was angry with me and Hookbill and thought he was annoying.

I keep my bag in the fridge, right next to my shoes.

Hee hee, yes, the complusive and random in-character posts...

Afterwards, I am usually sure that I'll end up killed by admin priviledge or something similar for being annoying.
I actually miss doing that, and now I'm kicking myself for not signing up for Legate's game.
It looks very interesting, but I have far too much university applications right now and I had the 'plague' when the game was being decided.

I thought it best that I didn't say anything about joining because I had taken flu meds, and probably would have *conveniently* forgotten all of anything to with deadlines and school.

So, I'll just be reading this time.
