Barrow-Down Dreams

[Kath]

Ooh I actually had a 'Downs dream the other night. It was part of a longer dream that was completely random and nothing to do with this place but for some reason I was driving a lorry and suddenly I could see through this window. Laurinque was in there and she was having an argument with Lommy because Lommy had said that she was the oldest werewolf player in the game they were currently in, but Laurinque (who was about 50 and had black hair) was saying she was the oldest player.

Then Mith jumped through the window (I say jumped, she mostly just appeared out of nowhere but it looked like she'd jumped from the street into the room) and tried to explain that Lommy was actually the person who had been playing the games longest and that's what she meant by oldest and that Laurinque was the oldest age wise and that's what she meant. But they weren't having any of it and promptly lynched her.

Definitely inspired by Volo's game I think, though I don't know where I got that image of Laurinque from!

We found evidence of them being there but none were to be seen, so we looked in this larger hole that was all covered in spider webs. The door mouse had severe misgivings about this but I made us go in. So when we got it the place turned into this boardwalk in a swamp and the whole thing was covered in sticky webs, and then we knew (for some reason) that it was Shelob's lair and we were trying to get out, but we found the exit had turned into the Barrow Downs (like in FOTR) and Bill the pony was there too. Anyway, this really, really creepy wight would not let us pass saying"you shall not pass" and I would say he looked for some reason like The Might. No offense to the Might.

It was soo weird....there was more but it did not have anything to do with BD.

You could tell me at school tomorrow, there is not subject we can't talk about there! And Lauri, the Might is not that creepy looking is he... of course he's no Beautiful!

I don't know where you got that image from either, cause she's not fifty and her hair is far from black! I should know, I go to school with her!


Well, I had this dream last night that I was going to this cabin place and there was a map and on the inset I there was this diagram and it said The Barrow-Downs, and there was squares marking where this big building was (probably the Great Barrow) and a bunch of other buildings too, and I was marking up and writing where I thought the Great Barrow and other Barrows as well I think maybe mine and Laurinque's... there was more to that dream, but it wasn't Barrow-Downs related... except for Laurinque was there...

Warrior, you have way weird dreams, I not want to know half the dreams you have. And, really I don't mean to be rude but please don't talk about where I go to school on the Downs. You never know, one day we might end up with Thinlómien on our doorstep. No offense Thinlomien...but Warrior should not tell people where I am, not that I think anyone here would chase me down but still.

Was I really in your dream Kath? Amazing, I hope I was not rude.

You were! Um, I don't think you were rude exactly, though you and Lommy were having a good yell.

[Thinlómien]

Kath, that was a very silly dream.

I had some weird ones as well during the weekend.

In one, A Little Green and Aganzir somehow hacked my BD account. They changed my username to Hanni (which is my RL name) and my avatar to a previous avatar of Isabellkya's (the photo of a woman with red frames). They also changed my birth date to November 15th 1996 and my location to "New York". They changed other things as well, but I don't remember what did they exactly do. I just remember I was angry at them. But I think I might have been a little amused as well...

I think it was in a part of that dream that The Might and Legate of Amon Lanc played the guitar in a bus. Nogrod was with them and he was very sad because he couldn't play his piano, because he obviously had been unable to take it to the bus with him.

I also had a dream in which there was some kind of work camp for BDers in Oulu (which is a city in Northern Finland). I think they were constructing some big building or something. There were lots of BDers working in there, but the only ones who I can recall being there for certain were Meneltarmacil, Rune Son of Bjarne and Volo. I tried to call Volo in order to ask more about the work camp but he had switched off his mobile phone.

Hey, that does not sound too bad. Not an unimaginable situation (if TM plays the guitar) - which does not necessarily mean a pleasant situation for the people in the bus. Anyway, Nogrod really plays the piano?

In RL I think I'd rather be one of those playing the guitar... I know the basic chords with piano and can play some easy tunes but guitar and bass are the one's I actually know a bit how to play them.

But I'm not sure if that was somekind of foresight-dream as I have thought lately that it would be great if I had enough money to buy a decent keyboard or a cheap clavier just to learn more of it. I thought about it yesterday the last time. So my daughter is a psychic as well?

New York, eh? It's a sign - all downers are being drawn to New York. You can't resist the call forever!

So you were 12? That's interesting...

Ah....we are all insane I swear....

That will teach me not to interfere.... why do I always seem to end up dead in people's dreams .... ?

Who knows! We love you really, it's just our subconscious wolves that want you dead.

I clearly need a sort of witness protection programme to save me from the Downers' collective unconscious....

Don't you like being in our dreams? I mean not all of them are bad.

Look at the bright side of it, the collective unconscious might be turned into collective conscious and we won't need the forum to discuss things anymore. Wouldn't it be cool if you could just switch to BD-mode anywhere and play WW. Sure would make Swedish lessons more interesting.

Having quickly searched the thread for refs to me.. I retract ..I really just need to be protected from Lommie's subconscious. She has had me attacked by a multitude of suicide bombers, dying (alongside Boromir88), and metamorphosing from David Beckham.

Yours was sweet ..I don't need to be protected from you

I had a long dream with a Downs theme going on, but it was mostly just some Downer being around.

First I tried to get people who I mostly didn't know to join the Downs. So we went to a library where we could find computers and entered the Downs which turned out to be a small village-like place. Every new member got a PM from Hookbill with some general welcome talk, a picture of a dragon and The latest Downer. One of the new members, a guy I went to confirmation camp with, got very excited about The Downer as there was a long red snake-like cord in the picture. He pulled the cord out and tried to strangle me.

While the guy was messing around with the cord I noticed that Mith had a new title. I went the Title-thread and saw that somebody had posted that it's even wierder than Volo's, in a positive sense. I agreed. Then I somehow I found myself at home. "Mith got a great new PT!" I told my mum. She looked at me suspiciously and was about to say something, when I said, "Oh, right. You don't know anything about that..." She shrugged, sighed and went off to do whatever she was doing.

I was back at the Downs village with my three-year-old brother. We walked to a wooden table, where Hookbill sat. My brother had something to ask so he asked, in Finnish. Hookbill was confused and said something in English to which my brother answered again in Finnish. He was obviously playing, because he could understand what Hookbill was saying and could just as well answer in English but didn't. Soon Hookbill got annoyed and pulled my brother away from the table.

Later in the dream there was a sruggle of some kind - I still don't know why - between two big concrete buildings.

I was dreaming about Homestar Runner cartoons, in one segment the Cheat & Strong Sad were arguing about something, and Master Hookbill kept jumping in yelling "Throw ice at it!".

It really is the only way to deal with arguments.

I dreamt last night that I lived in an apartment complex, and that Diamond18 was moving back into the apartment that she had vacated several weeks before. I remember snooping around, looking at all the evidence she had left behind her the first time - including a heart scraped into wet cement that read

I also dreamed that Rune was using any means possible to contact me - email, phone, instant message, letter, telepathy, friends...every time I turned around, there he was. Stalker.

That's just hysteric.

I was about to complain that I didn't have any interesting BD dream for a long time, and tonight it came. I had a dream that there was a presidental election at the Downs, and in the end there were three possible candidates: Nerwen, Aganzir and Lommy. When thinking about my vote, I presumed that Nerwen is not going to get enough support from others, so voting her would have been a waste of vote. I decided to vote for Lommy.
I may also add that the voting process was somewhat nontypical: the candidates did not have any speeches or presentations or anything like that, instead, if a voter chose to vote for someone, there was time reserved for every candidate when she was sitting alone in what was in fact a class room in the high school I used to attend, and each voter could come in and tell the candidate why they decided to vote her.
