Barrow-Down Dreams

Well, my subconscious controlling device is only in its parliamentary stages so... I mean, this has nothing to do with me and it was just a strange dream...

I think I got away with that...

I had a weird dream featuring Rikae and Mac again. I really don't know why, but they seem to get to my weirdest dreams.

In the dream I was talking with Mac and Agan in MSN. Mac wanted to send us a love song he and Rikae had made and sung to each other. I think it was pretty awwww-worthy so I told him to go on and send it. Rikae and Mac both sang pretty well, especially Mac who was a professional singer in the dream. So, when I first listened to the song I thought it was quite nice and cute. But the song didn't sem to stop. It just went on and on. After 6 or 7 minutes I started wondering if there was any polite way of saying I don't want to listen to it anymore. Right then Mac said: "Oh, listen, now comes the Spanish part." They both sang a few lines in Spanish and Mac complained that he really can't pronounce Spanish. I said that as far as I knew, he was doing fine.

I had also another dream where I was visiting Rikae's house. (Mac and Nogrod were also there.) Rikae lived in a big manor and she had a few servants of her own. We had a lavish dinner and I and Rikae talked about literature. I also ended up giving a lecture about the differences of what it means if a Finn says something's good and if an American says something's good. (Because Rikae thought I hated Margaret Atwood, who was her favourite author, because I had said I think her books are "quite good".)

PS.

Oh dear! We can take a hint.

Manor? Servants? *ocl* Well, if by that you mean "tiny two bedroom house with the roof in desperate need of repair" and "three girls under the age of 8 smearing mud on the doorknobs", then yeah...
Margaret Atwood? I haven't read her in quite a while (actually, I covertly read my mother's copy of 'The Handmaid's Tale' when I was 8 or 9, until mom found out and took it away.) My favorite author at the moment is probably Virgina Woolf.... I just hope that doesn't influence people's subconscious impressions of me in Volo's game!
So, what DOES a Finn mean when she says something's good? And what does an American mean, for that matter?

According to what I said in my dream, if a Finn says something's good s/he thinks it's good, but if an American says something's good, s/he actually doesn't like it so much, for if s/he really liked it, s/he'd say it's awesome or that s/he loves it... I'm not at all if this is so in RL but that's what I seemed to think in my dream.

So I'm dreaming of being forced to dance on the backs of Galapagos sized snapping turtles in standing water. Normal enough, right?

But then I go into my grandparents' cabin and who should be sitting on the couch but Macalaure! Crazy!

On the far side of the cabin, in the kitchen, I see Rikae baking something with my grandma.

From the guest bedroomish direction, out walks Rikae's daughter, Lommy!

I hide my amazement and think to myself, they must either be secretly related to me, know my grandparents, or were driving along and got lost and my family invited them to stay forever.

So Rikae and Lommy went outside or something (but otherwise totally disappeared) and I tried to make polite conversation with Mac, but I'm conversationally inept around my family, so it was a little stilted.

"So I see we're playing werewolf together..."

"Yes."

And there was an awkward silence.

And then more sentences of the sort.

And then he started to talk in German, but I don't know German, and my grandmother yelled at me for being rude to the guests.

And I'm not entirely sure if my mother approved of me meeting all of you, even though you were visiting my grandparents.

Ahh, my mind.

Now, Fea, that was funny.

I had a dream that it was Rune's birthday and everybody wanted to send him video clips featuring Gimli from the LotR movies. Someone (Nerwen?) sent him a clip in which Galadriel, Legolas (I think I was him but I'm not sure) and Gimli were walking in a forest. Galadriel told Gimli to do various things and he always obeyed nicely. Then a white canine creature came and Galadriel said "now, Gimli, take that piece of meat from the warg" but I remember the creature looked suspiciously like a dog to me...

"So I see we're playing werewolf together..."

"Yes."

And there was an awkward silence.

Sadly, that does sound quite like the kind of conversation one could have with me.

Why are you people dreaming of Rikae and me all the time? Give us some privacy!
