Hahahaha, I had a dream that Mirandir was desperately in love with the phantom and was ranting about how she'll miss him (because he was leaving the 'downs for a week or so) on her LiveJournal.

Ignorance of the metric system, such as relating cm to inches, ("It'll never catch on...tis only a fad."), that too may be true. But *writing* a letter...now that surely is the stuff of dreams, not that I cannot 'write,' but that my handwriting is not so much 'atrocious' but more 'very specific to the writer's needs.'

Today I had a dream about the Tears of Mirrormere RPG, it was so that Groin wrote a post about some Dwarves in Erebor, one of them was Thorin Oakenshield, discussing the fact that Moria has apparently been overrun. Thorin actually said that "it has been a year since the Orcs breached the gates of Moria", and I thought "ah, now I see, so the plan was to actually leave the situation now and move one year further... so I guess now Thorin and the other Dwarves are coming to help, while the rest of the Dwarves in Moria are driven further and further into Khazad-Dum? But I wonder, is this canonical? In the sense that - should not Frár, Lóni and Náli have died already during the first attack of the Orcs - you surely can't tell me the Dwarves are holding the Bridge for the whole year!"

Well, an interesting dream it was...

Last night I had a very strange BD dream, well two dreams really.
The first one was rather uneventful, I had just gone onto this website and it said the only two people that weren't members were Hookbill and Lommy.
In the second dream, I was hired to make cardboard cut-outs of BDers. I made a cut-out of Rune, Volo, and Legate. I had to apologise to Rune, in person, because his wasn't finished. Although when I walked over to get it out of a train car, it was. Apparently it was finished by Laurinque...

Strange dreams....

I had an interesting dream last night. I dreamt that my Latin teacher gave us an assignment and it was to design a unique Werewolf game. It included all the rules to how the game should work and such, since people in my class wouldn't know how it worked. When I saw the assignment I was shocked and approached him, figuring he had to be a Downer. He ended up being Nilp. Obviously not the real Nilp, since he is far younger then my teacher...perhaps one of his "other" personalities ran off to Canada...

The other night I had a dream that Kath and I ran into each other. I have no idea where I was, although the latter part of that dream I was in Brazil so it may have been we were both down there. Anyway I introduced Kath as 'Kath' to my wife and kids. We were just shaking hands and then my dream shifted and Kath was no longer there.

I had a dream about Hook and Oddwen a couple nights ago. They came over to my house, and while I was trying to entertain them, my mum told me to a take a shower, I was not pleased. Of course, when this was happening, I was trying to pawn my little brother's TARDIS t shirt off on Hookbill because he likes Doctor Who. (Well, it think that 'like' is an understatement) Athought, for some reason, I don't think my little brothers clothing would fit Hookbill.
Don't know what happened to Oddwen though...

Anyway, when I woke up I had my blanket covering my face like I was a six year old hiding from monsters or something. It was....interesting.

I dreamed that Groin Redbeard (though he had Eonwe's avatar) posted a new topic urgently requesting news of his favorite webcomic, which hadn't updated in a long time. I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to reply to him that the last news post from them had been over a year ago, and to give up already. One such attempt was to put the reply in some sort of video, which was stupid. I don't think I ever succeeded in replying.

The webcomic involved penguin characters somehow.

I had a terrifying werewolf dream.

I was at home, and in RL I am irrationally afraid of my one neighbour, so in my dream somehow that meant that I thought he was a werewolf. I heard all this clanging and banging from across the street, and walked into my neighbours yard with my shotgun (no silver bullets though, so not sure why I believed that would help?) The door burst open and out came my neighbour who was transforming into a WW (it was like Lupin as a werewolf - but I haven't watched HP in ages so...who knows?) I turned and ran back towards my house, and he chased. Then little Max came running around from the back, and I was yelling for him to go inside, because eventhough he barks up a storm about everything he is a big wimp. So, Max was barking and then he cowered at the sight of the WW, but the WW began to chase him. I fired two shots, I guess I hit him with one, because the WW turned and came back after me. It's only a single shot, so I went to reload and then the cliffhanger, I woke up.

Heh. Nice one, Boro.


So I had a dream about the Hurt and Heal thread last night. No joke. Apparently when I woke up the game was over already and I'd missed this huge flurry of cross-post slaughtering. Morm's trying to sort through all the posts to determine a winner, and it ended up being....me. Lol needless to say he accused me of cheating.

I had a weird dream that included me, Noggie, Greenie, Agan, Legate, Volo and Boro running around my school, robbing role garments and accidentally alarming the guards by pushing the "Crime" button on the elevator.

I also had an even weirder dream full of scary things and I was appointed "the Barrow-Downs Mommy" at some point there. *blames Boro and Agan*

Hmmm...

I had a dream in which Noggie found a way and decided to reset his post count, so that it would say that he'd only posted 363 posts. His reasoning was that it made him seem like a more respectable member or something...


Well, it made sense in the dream...

Very odd dream, it doesn't make sense and it cuts off in the middle, but I guess that's what dreams typically do.

So...Lommy, Rikae, Mac, my friend Erica, and myself were in The Hub (it's this foodcourt place on my campus). Rikae and Mac were talking about how for a foodcourt, the Asian place was pretty good (and if you really were to eat there, I would probably agree, for campus foods...it's one of the better places). The real action was going on across the table though, where Lommy had this large metal bucket, full of water, and she was ripping open/dumping in all these salt packets. She was trying to convince us that a mixtur of salt and water was better at putting out fires than just water.

All of us looked confused, but Erica (who's a Lab tech and wants to eventually be in forensics) was arguing about how it doesn't make any sense...water will put out fire by itself, mixing in salt did nothing. Lommy said it was magic and she was going to prove it, because this could put out dragon fire, and regular water wouldn't.

It cuts to us being outside, Mac and Rikae, no longer with us (I guess they had no interest in dragons, and their fire being squelched by Lommy's salt water ). Anyway, it had cut to being outside, Erica and Lommy were running way ahead of me, and yelling at me to keep up because they didn't want to be late (late for what...who knows?), but somehow I was the one who got stuck with carrying the bucket of salt-water, so it wasn't that easy. And the last 'leg' of the dream, sally is out there selling apples. She was trying to get me to buy her last apple so she could go home, but due to Lommy and Erica hastling me to catch up, I really had no time to hear about apples or to buy one and so I just left sally there and hopefully she would sell that apple soon enough. (I bet it was poisoned anyway! )

The end.

I had a dream about Paper Telephone two nights ago. I had a dream that instead of passing Paper Telephone through the internet, we sent it by the post! It was all on paper and at the end all of the drawings and sentences were not sent, but given to me by Nogrod! And all of the people playing Paper Telephone were there. I remember that on Hookbill's picture, he had put a black and white photo of his face on it that reminded my of William Hartnell.

I dreamed a few nights ago that The Barrow-Wight sent out invitations to a large Downer gathering overseas. I was very upset because it would be fairly impossible for me to go overseas, so I was working hard to get one set up here in the states.

I remember campaigning for the meeting to be in Wyoming, and running around crying "Formendacil! Brinniel! Gwathagor! We can make this happen!".

I had a dream about Ents a few nights ago! There was something about some endangered creatures living in our back garden and I had to find them. To help me in the search, the phantom, Kath and Squatter came along. Although, the phantom was annoyed at me the whole time for not making him awesome enough in the comic strips.
When we did find the creatures, an Ent came along and took the little squirrel-like thing away. I followed the Ent through the village and he eventually came back to my house and asked for some tea.
Then I woke up. I had left my curtains open, which is unusual, but I looked out of the window and saw next door's tree swaying quite a lot. For one, brief but magical second, I almost believed it was an ent.

Sounds like Ents dislike chat-skwerlz just as much as our moderators.

In my dream...

I'd noticed that I had a few PMs from Mith regarding something that may or may not have gone on between me and Eomer. I ignored them, partly because I had a dinner date with the phantom's family, and I was running a bit late, and partly because I had no idea what she was talking about and figured I could sort it out later.

At the phantom's: his mother and father look suspiciously like my aunt and uncle, though they most definitely are not, and the phantom most definitely isn't my cousin, and lo! there is an adopted baby in his household as well as theirs. While his mum cooks dinner, his dad plays with the baby in the extremely elaborate dining room (think long dark wood table, heavily ornate, with high backed chairs and oil paintings on the walls).

I wander the house and come across-

His pretty blond sister in the shower!

Mildly embarassed, I tell myself it wasn't my fault, because she was showering with the door open, and I really couldn't have avoided seeing her without her clothes on, not unless I'd stayed in the dining room or something...

After dinner - which flew by in the sort of rush only dreams can provide - the phantom and I were upstairs. Fade to black.

Next thing I know, I'm at home (dream home, which resembles nowhere I've ever been), and I'm on the Downs and I check my PMs, and there are like 13 new ones. There are the three from Mith about me and Eomer, then there are two from people who want to know the truth of what happened in that fade-to-black moment, and there's one from Morsul saying something completely unrelated to any of it, and (gasp!) The Barrow-Wight himself sent me a PM titled 'teh Phantdom???' And some newbs have also sent me PMs that want to know things about me, and then-

I wake up.

1420! Something rather impossible.

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.

Thumbs up

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.
(Obviously inspired by the 'Elvish' Silmarillion thread)

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.

An economy sized bottle of awkward sauce....

Last night/early this morning I dreamed I had a creepy boyfriend/stalker. He didn't meet me on the Downs nor did he seem to even have a Downs account, but somehow every time I logged in I had like thirty reps of a creepy (read, mostly inappropriate and occasionally illegal) nature, all from him.

I had a very strange dream about a 'Downer who I doubt was ever a member, and I hope she never will be.

Name was SlythGirl and she was a total Harry Potter fan, and that's all she wanted to talk about on the 'Downs. I had a PM from her asking if I would go to this HP convention. And as I was leaving my house (for some unknown reason) SlythGirl must have been stalking me, because she was outside, grabbed on to me and tried to drag me away to her HP party, or whatever it was...she kind of looked like Loony Lovegood, only dirty blonde hair.

The End

Please don't try to explain this to me, I would hate to be the cause of anyone's trauma.

The other night, I dreamed that Mac and I were hosting a party (actually, I think it was another wedding reception), and this guy who looked like Nogrod showed up and started complaining that the food was cold. I gave him a reheated bowl of the lentil soup Mac made for dinner on Monday.

Last night I dreamed I was one of the privileged first few people to view volume one of TheGreatElvenWarrior's webcomic.

It revolved around this man who pranked the wrong radio station, and "won the prize" of being king over a whole other world. The guy was force-marched across across an icy world to this castle, where he found more than he bargained for in his queen and subjects. He was still learning their rudimentary magic when war broke out between his kingdom and the GIANT DEATH ROBOTS next door.

The drawings were fluid and graceful, the action well-packed, and the Second Doctor kept making his way in there somehow. Two thumbs up, TGEW, and I can't wait to read volume two.

Okay, I'll start writing it. Laurinque must have done the drawings.

While I was on InterRail, I had a dream where Sally was dressed up in a rococo-style dress and teasing Anguirel, which in my opinion served him right because I thought he looks too much like Barack Obama.

Go figure.
