Last night, I dreamed I was on the steps of a large museum, although it looked more like an observatory. It's name was Italian, but I don't remember what. So I was standing on these steps up to the door (accessible by climbing up several large blocks of concrete. It was a weird door; sort-of knob-like), and Kitanna and Wilwa were standing near the edge of the steps, by some large trees. Kitanna said that she thought I was a girl, and Wilwa said that the museum was closing soon. And that's pretty much it. There was also some sort of political rally in a forest with torches and pitchforks, but Kitanna and Wilwa weren't there.

Oh wow I completely forgot to post in here but I will now tell you of my exceedingly strange dream.

It started off in Nilp's house in the Philippines and Nilp and Lhuna were there except that Nilp was about 12 and Lhuna was her normal age. Lhuna gave me a huge hug and then disappeared in the way that those pesky dream people do. The dream then (you know that this where you're in one place and then another? I call that flashing) flashed to Nilp and myself being in a funfair. We saw this mime guy and he was miming the Balrog Wing Debate, I remember that his way of miming a Balrog without wings was to clamp his arms to his sides and fall sideways off his box!

Anyway then the dream flashed again and now I was Nilp-less and was walking down this path. A guy, who might have been Eomer, told me that I had to be careful because there was a wasps nest on the side of the path and if they stung me I would turn into a frog. As I (very carefully) walked past a frog jumped into my path and somehow I knew that it was Menel (I think because his avvie reminds me of a frog).

The dream then flashed again and I was back watching the mime who then did the entire story of LotR. I actually remember sitting there and watching the whole thing and it taking so long that a whole day had passed before he had finished. And then I woke up.

So yes, weird dream, and because of the miming LotR thing I was exhausted when i woke up because I thought I hadn't slept for a day!

(And, of course, it involves Kath.)

I dreamt that Shelob was passing a letter to Kath. But since I was one of the Shiriffs, I knew this correspondence wasn't innocent.

That's why I thought you were a werewolf!

I knew that I'd had a dream, but I couldn't for the life of me remember what it was until just now. I had a dream that I was looking at the best signatures thread and that Esty had posted a shortlist of her favorites. It contained seven names, almost none of which I can remember, but mine was at the bottom in very small font. I think it was probably brought on by taking such pains to get a picture of "Esty St." from a moving vehicle then linking it into my sig...

I had an altogether odd dream last night.

So me and some other people (some of them were Downers, but I'm not sure who, and some of them were people I've never met before) were slaves, and we were the entertainment at this party, except all we did was sit in the garage - they were showing us off or something - we were important. So we decided to escape while they were doing other things by going through their house and out the back door, which was a very risky attempt for some reason. Somewhere in this escape that house turns into my house, and it's me, Regin Hardhammer (he was a Dwarf), and my RPG character Sondo Brandybuck all trying to escape from these people who are trying to make us be slaves again. We fought them for awhile, they might have been Orcs for that segment of the dream. Regin and Sondo both killed one, I just sort of directed. The dream ended with us just dashing through a door.

I had an interesting dream last night. It was where Christopher Tolkien had agreed to do a question and answer session on the Downs. The first question was, of course, "Do Balrogs have wings?" to which he replied, "Would you like them to?"

There were other things like "Did you like the films." to which he replied, "No. But I liked the free pop-corn". It seemed to my mind the he was just having a laugh. Oh well.

I think I might be getting a cold after all.

Last night I dreamed that the phantom was chasing Robert DeNiro who was fleeing in a flying pay toilet.

And the phantom ate my deodorant stick.

Egads, I should stop visiting this forum.

I had a Downs / Lord of the Rings dream last night.

It started with myself, Nilp, Eomer and Gil-gallad wandering around Shelob's layer. We found Frodo and Sam looking for each other and were trying to help them out. But soon, Shelob and Ungoliant came chancing after us. We all ran back to The Barrow Downs and shut ourselves into a Barrow. But the spiders were trying to break down the door, so we piled up random things in front of the door to try and keep them out. In the end, I think that Gil decided to get a giant slug to help on the idea that spiders were afraid of slugs... yes...

I woke up after Nilp and Eomer began digging a tunnel to get away while Gil tried to use the slug... I think I need to drink less tea; it must be doing something to my brain.

Well, wouldn't you find a slimy grub of a creature detesting in your webs, whilst you were about to prepare a wonderful meal?

Wonderful dream though, and an excellent read.

Hehe, I love the giant slugs. You mean like this one?
