For reasons not known to me I managed to overlook the good mr. hookbill's post and for that I am sorry.

However I am happy that I am starting to appear in peoples dreams again, for me it is almost the same as getting a rep.

Better - for the reputation system can be reset, but being the man/woman of someone's dreams is forever.

I never thought I would have a BD dream again.

I was with the Finnish Downers (dancing spawn not included, sadly), and all I remember was that there was a lot of drinking (though I passed up on that) and silly dancing in front of a mirror.

I'm not sure Nogrod was there, though. But he sent me a PM/note/whatever from of written correspondence it was telling me about his work, among others which I can no longer remember.

This must be a reflection of how frustrated I am that I'm too far away to meet a Downer.

Well, I had a rather silly dream last weekend. It seems like poor Legate has stuck on having the role of a jerk in my dreams... Anyway, this is quite funny:

Legate sent Agan and me a collection of Finnish folk tales. We thought it was very sweet of him, he had also written a very nice dedication to the first page. We started leafing through the book. It was full of Legate's own notes written to the mariginals with a ballpoint pen. About half of them were intelligent comments on the stories, their intertextuality and structure etc. But half of them were very idiotic jokes and insulting comments of this and that.
"Are you sure Legate has really written these things?" I asked Agan.
"Well, it's all in the same handwriting, so he must have," she replied.
"I can't believe he's really like that!"
"It seems quite surprising, yes, but it seems he is."
We were about to close the book, when we saw what Legate had written on the last page: "Wow! I just realised that the words 'alegre' and 'allegory'* resemble each other a lot. This proves that God exists and that He loves us! Hallelujah!"

*apparently, "allegory" was a religious term in the dream

My apologies, I really don't understand how my subconscious works...

Well, at least it had a happy ending.

You know what, Lommy, you are crazy, or at least your subconscious is, but I like it nonetheless

Although you probably are afraid that I have some hidden dark traits which you are unaware of, or so it could be interpretated, I'd think

That's very interesting, half the time I always imagine him as a scholar pooring over mountains of books in the candle light in a dimly lit room. I guess I'm not the only one who thinks that.

Anyhow, it's a very funny dream Thinlomien.

I can't wait to see what else you dream up!

Do you?
Or will you fight to get an extra rep box to be one ahead of Lommy?

We may never know the answers to these questions. Tune in next week to find out more *Theme tune*

This is almost quote-worthy enough to be placed in a siggie.

But why can I, somehow, imagine Legate saying this?
