This would actually be hilarious.
It really would!

The weird thing about the last WW game was that I didn't have a single dream during the game (odd), but had one last night after the game ended (still odd). I don't recall the dream, though it involved wolf suspicion and Boro buddying up to an innocent whose identity I forgot to make them look like a wolf. Then Boro and said innocent were in a car on my driveway and were shouting something; Boro was leaving the car and the innocent was joking with him, blissfully unaware of his wolfishness. At this point I woke up and realized there really is a car on the driveway, and loud voices. I glimpsed Boro heading away from the car, and it looked like he was just dropped off by a buddy. Then I realized this wasn't Boro, least of all because he doesn't even look like the photos. Then I thought, if this is not just a dream-come-true-(literally) about Boro, who in Udun are these guys on the driveway? I thought maybe my neighbour had a friend drop by or something, it wasn't that late at night. But I haven't found out yet. Was the whole thing a dream? Did I ever wake up at all? We might never find out.

White Tree

I don't remember when was it the last time I had a Barrow-Downs dream, but today's counts as such, to a degree.

Majority of it revolved around going by a bus trip to some UNESCO site, which was a singular tree standing in the middle of a field, possibly somewhere in the countryside in Italy. There was something Tolkienesque about the tree, but that was not the Barrow-Downs part of the dream.

The Barrow-Downs part revolved around Lommy speaking to locals in Italian and making some jokes in it which was actually rather embarrassing, but also, more notably, Oddwen accompanying Jesus - as in, Jesus of Nazareth - as a passenger on the bus. (Sidenote: whereas I've had my share of Barrow-Downs dreams, this may be the first time in my life I had a dream in which Jesus made a physical appearance.)

Now the bus driver did not approve and wanted to throw Jesus out of the bus, claiming that he was "some unwashed hobo". Oddwen vehemently stood up in defence of the man of Nazareth, and to prove that he was no hobo, she testified that they had just been shopping together in a renowned fashion store for clothes of a famous international brand. To further prove that she was not making this up and that Jesus had really been buying some clothes in that shop (he was not wearing them, though - he wore the basic white linen you usually see him depicted wrapped in when he comes out of the tomb, so the bus driver's complaint was not unwarranted), Oddwen procured a plastic bag with the shop's logo as proof.

The driver accepted this explanation and afterwards became rather friendly and started chatting merrily to all passengers, to the point that he almost did not realise when he had arrived at the UNESCO site that was our destination and nearly drove into the very protected tree.

Sufficient to say, this has certainly been one of the more bizarre dreams of late.

Wow, that's certainly an unusual turn of events! But did the man say anything to you?

Now, because of Legate’s dream, I have this song stuck in my head. (Not that I’m complaining, there could be worse but it’s going to be there all day )

Fashion can be very important in Italy.

Sadly not. In fact, he said nothing during the whole episode, merrily leaving it to Oddwen to handle the bus driver. Likewise, when later the driver became chatty and started talking to everybody, including him, he did not respond. But then, the driver seemed happy to just prattle on all by himself...

I would apologise, but, to quote a classic, "you have done that yourself!"

I have no doubt.
