Barrow-Down Dreams

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

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 a seer - for he has a very horrible handwriting!

Ooh, I just had a Barrow Downs dream from a nap I took (yes, I take naps...don't judge me! ).

So, the dream started off in this big building. I think it was a building full of film studios and there was some sort of shoot going on because a whole bunch of people (including an old professor) tried to hand me random stuff, thinking I was a Production Assistant, and I had to tell them, "No, I'm not here for that." Because I wasn't.
Originally, I was there because a bunch of Downers decided to gather in a small room of that building to play WW with a boardgame. And the players who couldn't make it would just play as they always do online. I can't remember all the Downers that were there...I do believe Holbytlass was there, though she temporarily changed her name to Halloweenelass (I'm not sure why since Halloween is long over). We weren't expecting Lommy and Volo to show up since they'd have to travel all the way from Finland to the US, but surprise, surprise, they came after all.
Before we ever got started with WW, my dream turned into an orchestra performance arranged last minute in the same building, but a different room. Most of the Downers disappeared, but Lommy and Volo were there, and we sat in chairs with our violins. Then for some reason, I started arguing with Volo; I think he was trying to correct my pronounciation of an English word, and I was irritated because I don't like being corrected. We kept going at it, and finally, Lommy (who was sitting in the middle of all this) screamed for us to "Shut up!" My reaction was, "Wow, Lommy's kinda mean. I expected her to be nicer." I was suddenly really mad at her, but I suspect the real reason behind it was that I was simply frustrated because we were about to perform and be judged at playing a theme from the LotR film without any prior practice. And of course, I totally sucked because I hadn't even touched my violin for over five years.
Suddenly, Lommy turned into my roommate, and though now a different person, I was still mad and glaring at her all day. I noticed she was given a crappy lunch which involved a giant pickle and I was happy. And then I woke up.

Yeah, it was weird, though it made a lot more sense than most of my other dreams.
It was my first Downer dream in a long time. And usually my Downer dreams are too vague to post, but not this one.

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?"

I had a dream that I forgot to stop the Day in my ww-game (I thought that it was only 7pm my time, which is two hours before the deadline of my game) and I only realised it when an angry Nogrod called me an hour after the deadline... Encai was playing in my game and she posted a long complaint on the admin thread.

Modding is an unhealthy business, it seems to get to your dreams...

I had a dream today that consisted of several parts. I don't remember all of it anymore, but some flashes:
- There was a new member at the forum, named something1234, who said that he/she is in fact an old member who had not been here for a long time. He/she commented that: "It has changed a lot here from 2002, (precise formulation following) it's not as saint here as it used to be." And continued: "I think we should stop calling each other Mr. and Mrs. on the forum and call each other Sir and Madam. I hope all the rockers are going to agree with that." Yes, that was very weird.
- My mobile operator once again invented some sort of special service for customers, that you send an SMS to them and one of the (live) operators calls one of your contacts and says something to them. Like: "Happy birthday". (Imagine that silliness, but maybe they would be capable of doing that.) In my dream, I accidentally used this service and sent one such a "message" to Lommy.
- Some Downers wrote that they have too much work as students nowadays, and everybody suddenly started to write that they support them and so on. Raynor wrote some sentence in an undecipherable language, only I remember that it featured one Czech word. He then explained that it is a blessing used in the east-european hasidism and that when one is making it, he has to focus on a piece of food. He wrote: "That's why I have a beefsteak in front of me now. Good luck."

I finally had my first Downs dream in several months. I'm sure there were a few more Downers involved, but since this was the last scene I saw before my mum pestered me into waking up, it's the only thing I remember.

My entire line of sight was covered by the Downs, as though I'm an ant looking at a computer monitor and it was all I could see. The thread opened was the Downs Newspaper. davem posted a news article about something, I forgot what it was, but it was dryly humorous. And then the next post came from Kath, who had a rather violent but still funny reaction to davem's news.

I don't know why davem was in my dream at all, but apparently it's perilous to my subconscious for me to be chatting with Kath at almost four in the morning.
