Barrow-Down Dreams

[Diamond18]

Last night I had a rather long and weird dream, can't remember most of it, but I do remember that at one point, I was standing in a group of people trying on a light blue satin dress which was either a prom or bridesmaid dress, but I think I was trying it on for a play. I did that once in reality, wore a modified prom-or-bridesmaid dress in a Shakespeare play. Anyway, it was a bit too small and I couldn't get it fastened even though I was wearing a corset underneath. Supposedly I had worn this dress before and it fit alright. So I said something like, "I think I got too fat for this."

Rune, who was sitting nearby, spoke up, "Yes, you're quite fat." Then before I could say anything in reply he added, "You deliberately baited me into saying that to start a fight."

I replied, "Well, I'm not 18 anymore."

There was more after that but there were no Barrow Downers. I woke up and went back to sleep and in my next dream, there was a werewolf who had lost her daughter, and she howled mournfully, but that's all I remember.

I had a dream that there was a ww-game where some villagers were granted "magical skills" along with giving out the roles. Nogrod demanded that the people with the magical skills should come out and swear not to use them during the game. Mac seconded this idea. First, Legate came out and promised not to use his magic skills. Then, Volo wrote a long post in which he promised not to use his skills, but he added the word "maybe" in a very tiny font at the end of the post. Finally, I posted and declared I would not make such a ridiculous promise.

Now, what does that tell about the latest ww-game?

I had a dream last night which kind of struck me as odd. I was coasting through the downs and noticed that Celuien of all people had plans to visit where I'm going to school... I suggested that I give the Ribbiter a tour of my campus --Volo offered to join us-- and instantly I was in the airport waiting for her. Long story short I gave the tour pointing out mundane instalations and the university center turned into a very, very large Wal-Mart like ...store. There were computers sitting around to direct people like one might use in a library to locate books... we were going to check out the downs, but I woke up (after Volo got lost on the way to the bathrooms) but I woke up before we ever reached the machines.

I'm pretty sure if I did dream that far it would cycle back through the previous events.

Unfortunately, I don't remember almost anything from a dream I had today, but it was very long, very epic and very pleasant - which is just a vague recollection based on the feelings I had when I woke up. I remember only that there were some of my fellow students, a journey on train to northwestern Bohemia, Lommy (which is why I write that here), my cousin's place where we play RPGs when we do, and at least one of my friends from that RPG group. But I don't know how it was all connected together and what was happening there.

I had another Barrow Downs dream - I can't remember much but I was meant to be meeting Nogrod and Lommie - but were stymied by the fact that Nogrod had written instructions on how to find them in a letter but his handwriting was impossible to read (no idea if this is true). For some reason I was walking around a field with Gordon Ramsey trying to reach them when I woke up. My psyche is a strange place.

I had a dream of the LAlfieVem family last night...something about Lal & Dave morphed into some sort of protective cave around the Young'un so he could perform some tremendous destiny-riffic feat...it was quite odd.

Very odd indeed. But with your name it's quite understandable.

Anyway, tonight I had another Downish dream and this time I remember something of it! In the first part of the dream, SpM was lurking in sewers and killing us (=me and some other people, given the logic of the dream there were probably also some Downers present) one by one. In the second part, me, my brother, my grand-aunt, Volo and several little children (probably was supposed to be something like a camp for children, because my grand-aunt was doing things like that) were riding on bikes. I remember Volo's bike changed into a motorbike at certain point, and he could not drive it. Then suddenly we were in fact in a tram, which looked like a... hmm... well, imagine a cabriolet tram But we were in several little waggons, similar to these roller-coaster waggons, you know? The continuity was preserved, technically they were still bikes, or the bikes changed to them, only they were connected and there was a driver in the front who was driving it all. He was totally stupid and he started to drive too fast, he left the railway and suddenly was driving down a hill very, very fast. I knew there was going to be trouble, but at that moment the waggons turned into normal bikes and my brother crashed into a car. It was the driver's fault, of course.
Then there was the third part of the dream, and that was that I was in a classroom in some (probably) elementary school (or so it looked like) and Mac was a teacher and looked like Boro's avatar. There were many other Downers in there, but the only one whom I remember surely was Mithalwen. We were to write a latin test. I was a little bit afraid, because I did not know much, but the test proved not to be too hard. There were sentences in English and we had to translate them to Latin, and they were like: "The Balrog is in Moria." "I live in the Dark Tower." "When the Balrog comes, the Wizard loses." When I was translating the latter sentence, I woke up.

You're absolutely a psychic! That's so true. You would never get anywhere with my instructions if they were on handwriting... I'm worse than the proverbial doctors.

I am sure that it can't be as bad as in the dream since I didn't know where to look and (presumably) Gordon Ramsay said "but there was a letter .. here it is " and I said "That's a letter?"
