Barrow-Down Dreams - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I just woke up from a dream wherin Aganzir and I were walking down the street of an unidentified European town. I believe we were part of a larger moot, and returning from an outing in the Great Outdoors.

We walked back to skip spence and Pitchwife's apartment (aw, young love), where we were staying, when I spotted a familiar face in the crowd.

"Isn't that The Barrow Wight?" I asked of Aganzir.

"I don't know, it could be," she replied.

So we go up and introduce ourselves. The Wight brusquely admits he doesn't know us, but agrees to join the moot for dinner. He stomps up the stairs to the apartment, and then we hear this voice from above:

"The Barrow Wight requires a coffin, a gallon of lighter fluid, some sharp sticks and coal."

Aganzir and I panic because we don't know where to find any of these things, and then I wake up.

I hope The Wighty enjoyed his dinner.

This reminds me - in one of those short nights during Finlandmoot, I dreamed that I woke up in the morning and somebody told me that Kath had committed suicide in the night. I vividly remember the feeling of total shock - I just couldn't understand why she would do this in the first place, and at a time like that, when we had all been having fun together and feeling good just a few hours before.

I trust you're alive and cheerful, Kath. Sorry, I must have caught the dream virus from Lommy.

And the other night I dreamed I was back in Helsinki, on the morning of my departure, waiting for the post office to open so I could buy some stamps. The post office looked none like it does in RL, it was much smaller and somehow in the same building as Nog's flat and besieged by a horde of bums in tartan suits who were trying to steal my cash, but I somehow managed to get behind their lines.

Despite my apparently suicidal tendencies I am glad that I still grace someone's dreams!

It's been some time since I've had a BD-related dream, and today I had some, probably having something to do with my mind still jumping back to Finlandmoot.

I was back in Nog's appartment together with Lommy and Greenie, the time of the year was basically "now", so it was like I just came back there for a visit. Suddenly a doorbell rang, we were like: "What is that?" and Nog wondered something about postmen or door-to-door dealers. I went to open the door, and there I saw the corridor in front of the door stuffed with the rest of the Finlandmooters, at least there was Esty and Pitch and Oddwen and probably others - the only thing I recall for sure is that Kath wasn't there, since she was elsewhere in Southern Europe. And as we all gazed at the incomers in total surprise, Esty stepped into the door and announced loudly: "Well, we are back!"
And it indeed turned out that they all agreed to come back to Finland together, since they had been thinking that there was much that we had not managed to do during their stay. The only thing I recall after that was that I was worried about Nog's time schedule, since he didn't have holiday anymore, and that I felt a bit uncomfortable since apparently all the people assumed that they will once again stay in his appartment, and he obviously wasn't expecting it this time.

Aww! Can you guys do that for real?

That must have been my clone* - I'll very likely be travelling in the opposite direction, though I'd love to rejoin all of you!

* I do hope no clones were harmed in the making of that dream!

Night before last I dreamed I made a road trip to meet the phantom, Sally, Mnemo and Fea. phanty kept turning things into a game of WW. Not just referencing it, literally every time I opened my eyes he was accusing me of werewolfery and urging everyone to vote for me. It was awkward to blink. Sally just poked me and giggled. Mnemo and Fea sat next to me all the time and glared daggers.

Last night I dreamed I was on a frantic search for something. I don't remember what it was, but I do remember that Diamond18 was trying to help but was busy with school.

Nothing like spending time with people to make you dream about...other people.
