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.

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.

I had an interesting downs dream last night, but amusingly, in it a downer that is a girl, was a guy... slightly disturbing when I checked up on it this morning...

However, I think this dream was sparked because of all the fun you folks had at the Findlandmoot. Cause I dreamed you all came to visit Foley and I down here. There were lots of you, and it was quite fun. Downer's specifically noted were Oddwen, Kath, Elempi, Lhunardwen (is that her name? I don't know if I'm spelling it right...), and then others that weren't named in the dream. Oh, and Foley.

Well, you headed up a game of Werewolf (in the bed of our truck...), but it was only a 5 player game, so I stepped out so someone else could play. So Foley played that with you and a few others (who were probably named in the dream, but by the time I woke up I didn't remember who they were).

Lhuna hooked elbows with me and we "took a turn around the yard", meeting Oddwen and Kath who were excitedly taking a walk (that's the best I can explain it. I think they may have been skipping...). Then a rabbit came from under the house and stole Lhuna's flashlight (which I have no idea why she had, as it was daylight), so she and I went under the house to get it back, and either she challenged one of them, or one of them challenged her, but whatever the case, they agreed to have a battle (all in fun), so I walked up front, around which time the dream ended.

Lovely, eh? I think Lhuna and I would get along capitally, as long as there are no rabbits around.
