Legate of Amon Lanc · 07-07-2009, 07:16 AM

I just came home and my brother told me: "This week, on the night from Saturday to Sunday, I had a dream... that I picked up a girl on Fungoltch and Shcmurt!"

The dream, he says, went like that he was in metro and at one station, he walked around some girl, who was just saying something that sounded like "Fungoltch". He turned to her and asked: "Fungoltch and Shcmurt?" And she was like, "Yes", and then she went into a carriage and he shouted after her: "Moldutch!" and she replied: "Gimifril!" (for reference, see Fungoltch&Shcmurt comic strip #3) And then she came back and they started to talk.

I had a really weird dream the other night...

The phantom, Esty, Legate, Lommy and I were in a disused hospital being chased by a gang of thugs lead by Simon Pegg.

We spent a lot of time rushing up and down corridor and bundling through weird barriers until, at last, it came to a final showdown where the phantom stabbed mr Pegg in the heart with a load of old syringes. Lommy and I had to drag the body into the garden. Legate and Esty were left to fight off the rest of the thugs.
When we got back it turned out that Legate had been taken hostage and was being questioned in one of the underground cellars.
We rushed down there, passing many wards full of skeletons in lab coats, cobwebs and rats. Legate was refusing to answer any of the questions and eventually bit one of the questioner's hands off!

We managed to rescue Legate by getting Esty to distract them with a tuba. Once we got back to the outside, the police were surrounding the hospital. Davem and Lalwende were there, but they talked the police out of arresting us.
That was nice of them.

Make of that what you will...

A few nights ago I had a dream where THE Ka turned out to be a representative– or maybe the CEO– of "Ka Industries", a powerful and highly sinister multinational entity which had something to do with snakes. Everyone was quite shocked.

It's finally happened! After six and a half months of virtual undeath, I had my first Barrow-Down Dream.
During today's afternoon nap, I met davem at a calligraphy workshop. It was in a pub, and my non-Downer wife was there too, besides several nondescript other people. We were supposed to turn a page-long text - preferably a quotation from Tolkien - into an illuminated medieval-style manuscript. davem (who looked only vaguely like his picture on the photo page, but I recognized him although we've never met in RL) was dissatisfied with his own writing and drawing skills and said his attempt "looked like Orc's work" (which didn't do it justice), while I realized that I had forgotten to do my homework and composed a nonsense text that read a lot like Five-Word Story instead of illuminating.

I had an interesting dream last night.

I woke up, went to my computer to check the Downs, and found that I had about five or six green rep boxes next to my name (and a couple were bright green). I wondered how this had happened so suddenly, so I went to check my reps.

I only had ONE new rep, and it alone was somehow responsible for leaping me up several hundred points. The rep was this-
"Hee hee. Look how powerful my rep is now!

~Legate"

I went to view Legate's profile, and he had rows upon rows of bright green rep boxes, and he had also started a thread in each sub-forum entitled "Look at my boxes!"

But I love Simon Pegg's films!

Oh, and Fea, in your dream I hope you didn't mind being introduced to the family. They insisted upon meeting you before we had any "fading to black" moments.

I had a rather interesting dream last night...
Last night I dreamed (among other things) that I was hired to babysit lal and davem's child, their female child. I remember telling her about her parents on the BD how much better they made this website. I then proceeded to tell her that I was a BDer too, she was not very impressed. I took her out somewhere and she climbed up this rope and that is where I stopped dreaming about that...
This child, who does not exist had a very strange name too. It reminded me of Nienor... But it wasn't.
