How did you do that?

Jste... zajimavy.

Then again, the subconscious is a wonderful, but strange place.

Speaking of dreams, I had a short little one the first day of Aganzir's WW game, but it really has nothing in relation unless Lommy's infinite insight can make anything of it.

Anyways, as the dream goes I woke up in the morning, readied my things, etc then went out into the kitchen to have a nice cup of kava. When I wasn't half-awake and finally turned around a random Downer was sitting at the counter eating popcorn. They were male, had blonde hair, and he wasn't very tall, but not short. It was kindof odd, because they didn't say anything, and the only sound was him munching on popcorn.
Then Nogrod popped into the dream, said hi, then went through the fridge and found some beer and sat next to the other fellow, but didn't say anything to him throughout the rest of the dream.
I decided to finally have breakfast, but for some odd reason decided to ask the blonde man if I could have some popcorn (though, really, who eats popcorn for breakfast?), he looked offended and hugged the bowl to himself and said,
"Pfft, no! Make your own! This is my bowl."

The dream ended there, but I was more confused that he was claiming the bowl and the popcorn from my pantry as his own and was so offended.

Wait, so I might have been featured in your dream? Can you describe this mystery blonde further? I'm curious.

I had a very odd dream last night. It came to me rather clearly when I woke up...but now I admit it's a little vague. But I'll do my best and write this before I forget anymore.

I dreamt that Gwathagor announced on a thread that he was in fact not human at all, but a machine (a very advanced robot...probably something like the ones from the Terminator films). The thing was he was so advanced a machine that he wanted to become human and was in the process of doing so. Except that in his most recent surgery there were some complications and some of his machine parts crashed. Gwath was alright, but a bit worried which is why he posted this announcement on the BD. The reactions of others are a bit vague, though I do remember everyone was surprised that a machine was advanced enough to participate in a Tolkien discussion and play WW. Of course, we all wished him well. A few days later, Esty announced on the thread that Gwath successfully had a multi-organ implant and was recovering and surely on his way to becoming human.

Yeah...I told you it was a weird dream. Usually my BD dreams are dull and hardly worth mentioning. For example, I had a dream a few weeks ago that I was on a bus with several of my classmates and Lommy was randomly there. I kept thinking to myself, "This is cool...but what exactly is she doing here?"

Keep in mind I haven't actually survived a game of Werewolf yet ...maybe my robotic posting style makes the other players uneasy...

I don't remember much about them, since the dream took place awhile ago, but this is as close as I can remember:

Excuse the 'amazing' drawing, I just doodled it, plus the hair also. It was a little darker blonde in the dream, but my photoshop is being difficult today.
I do remember that they didn't have long hair or any facial hair to speak of.

I would have drawn Nogrod, but I forgot what he looked like. Plus he only appeared for a microsecond after selecting some beer from my fridge...

Why thank you. All a result of a continous lack of sleep and being busy. The only thing I can deduce from the whole thing is that my subconscious wants a dinner party, in the morning, with random Downers and popcorn.
Even the nightmare I had last night turned into some two-bit opera, but sadly involved no Downers.

That seems to look a bit like myself. Not enough for me to start really worrying, but enough to be mildly freaky. I'll get around to posting a picture of myself for comparison when I have the time, motivation, and (most of all) picture. But until then, Ka, yours seems to work. Most strange.

*shrug* I can't really explain it myself. Only that I don't seem to have as many Downer related dreams as others do, but usually when I do I either know for sure who's in them, or they are random as can be.
I'll stick with your conclusion though, I can't assure anything except that yours makes sense. Plus, its all the more humorious.

Here's a post I posted on this thread on some of the alternate 'downs versions some days ago:

Ok, I have had a couple of BD dreams lately...

Sometime last week:
- Elizabeth Taylor had made a petition for Tolkien (don't know why) and Mith, Lalaith and Lalwendë had signed it.
- Sauce and Sauron the White met Peter Jackson in the Helsinki-Vantaa airport. Or it was more like StW meeting him and Sauce overseeing the meeting...

The night before last night:
- I had a couple of them but it seems I've forgotten. I have to ask Agan if she remembers because I think I told her.
- The only one I remember was that Legate had posted his admin thread and one person (possibly THE Ka?) had replied to it. And when I came to 'downs for the first time after that, guess which thread had been opened and how many people had posted on it...

Last night:
Okay, this is quite psychotic. The dream started with me being on the 'downs. I was playing in a ww game. There was only a couple of players, so there was only one werewolf, and of course I had the bad luck of being the wolf. I had a kill on Night1 and killed Brinniel. We lynched Menel on Day1 but I was suspected quite a lot too, especially by Nogrod. Then came Night2. I decided I'd kill Nogrod, because then people would not think I'm the wolf, because generally I would let Nogrod live in a village consisting of mostly quite players (there was at least Greenie and Shasta and probably one or two other people). The Day and Night phases only lasted two hours and it was the Night when I was thinking about killing Nogrod.

Suddenly I realised I had two unread private messages. One was from Mith and the other from Nerwen. Nerwen's message was odd. She said she had considered starting some odd mirth thread and asked if I wanted to help. I replied: "Yes, I can do the names of the songs in the soundtrack." So I devised 15+ new age -ish names with a Tolkienesque echo. There were songs called Arien's Journey and Golden Goodbye at least. One disco song was called High-Elven High and for some reason I wanted to name the remix of the same song Hyper-Elven Hyper.

When thinking about these songs I was drawn into real ME. I think I was in the fords of Isen and there were dead Orcs around. But suddenly I was in Barad-dûr with Sauron, Witch-King and Gandalf. I was doing a survey on health products and Sauron and Gandalf had opposing views: I think Sauron was representing some big company that fools its clients. Anyway, the four of us were going up the stairs and somehow this was part of the plot of LotR and I knew it very well, but I was afraid for Gandalf nevertheless. (Not for myself because I was, in a way, not there.) Also, I kept thinking that Tolkien made a huge mistake when he made Gandalf be afraid of the W-K.

However, when we had ascended to the top, I was suddenly Théoden and entered Sauron's office. He was really scary and I could barely speak. I knew he was my enemy but I could but show him allegiance and bow down, I was so mortally afraid. Suddenly he was Vladimir Putin. He asked me if I wanted to be the foreign minister. I was really surprised and could not say anything. Then he just smiled at me (it was the sort of tolerant smile you smile to slow-witted children) and I agreed and climbed over his desk to his side and started reading a newspaper that had Medvedev (did I spell it right?) and Angela Merkel on the front page.

Go analyse that...

edit: I just realised I have most posts on this thread... should I be surprised...?

I had a dream that Gollum was after me. The I woke up strangling myself.
