Barrow-Down Dreams

[Hookbill the Goomba]

As bizarre dreams go... This was pretty bizarre...

Rune, Diamond and I were, for some reason, trying to gain entry into an 'exclusive' golf club. It turned out to be run by the phantom who lead us into a field with a few other people, mostly wearing suits. phantom explained that they have a very strict selection system because they like to 'keep the riff Raf out'.
So he began to administer his tests. First everyone had to jog on the spot. Then he flung a rugby ball towards the people. One man leaped up and grabbed it and began shouting. Phantom nodded to some security people who dragged the man away. Rolling his eyes, phantom said, "Rugby player. We always get one!"
He then ran at Rune and almost kicked him between the legs. Naturally, he attempted to protect himself. Therefore, phantom signaled for him to be taken to where the rugby player was standing.
Phantom then yelled out abuse until one old man broke down and began crying. He was dragged away as phantom sighed and said, "divorced, eh?"
There were a few tests I obviously missed because when I looked the crowd of 'rejects' was getting larger. Now they were tying some Police cordon tape around them.
The final test was about to begin, everyone still jogging on the spot. Diamond and I nervously glanced around. The phantom began shouting out random noises like "bloo blah blee guurrnn..." and blowing raspberries. Diamond and I tried desperately not to laugh. We were saved when an old fat man in a grey suit jogged out of the line up to the phantom with a baffled face.
"Ah, Mr Davis," said the phantom, "I think you know where to go." the man nodded and jogged towards the rejects. While the phantom began giving out congratulations to the remaining applicants, Mr. Davis had missed the rejects and was now jogging off into the distance.

We never did get to play golf...

A night ago I had a dream including, once again, Rune.

For some reason I was hanging around with some of my local friends in a cafeteria and Rune came by. He still had long hair, so I told him: "I knew the photo you posted in lj was a fake". Then we went to play paper telephone with him and my other friends. I got a sentence that was something like "He had never been on a ship before, but many times on a boat, so this was his first time." I drew the deck of Viking Line and on top of one big pipe another smaller ship. I thought my picture was brilliant.

Getting kicked between the legs and have my hair re-grown in one night. . .how lucky can one guy be!?

There was a picnic table. Around it sat Mithalwen, Lal, somebody, davem, Mac, Rikae, TGWBS. Nearby was Rune, and Volo was wandering around.

"Wow," I said, "Look! Volo cut his hair too!"

Volo stumbled along carrying an armful of wood as we inspected his Cate Blanchett-in-Indiana-Jones haircut.

"Oh, wow," I gasped, suddenly remembering, "Lal, I had a dream with you and davem and Jay in it!"

Lal asked what I dreamed about.

"In my dream," my dream self answered, "I told you and davem and Jay that I'd gone to Surrey."

"What did I say?" she asked, sipping her iced tea. I sat lazily, draped on my bench, my feet up with my back to the wall.

"You said, 'Why the [-] would ya do that?'" I laughed.

Mith, who was a good thirty years older than I've been imagining (sorry, my darling, it's not my fault...), laughed and said very primly, "Quite a good response, that."

[Mithalwen]

Well you got the aversion to Surrey right .

[Kath]

Oy, what's wrong with Surrey?

[Mithalwen]

Well it has good shopping, I'll grant you that..and Wimbledon ... has to be a good side to being the "Gin and Jag belt" and choc full of Stockbrokers ....

I always think of Margo and Jerry Leadbetter from the Good Life ...
