Legate, I hope that is not a prediction of what will happen in the next game... *is somewhat worried*

Although, the first part could be from the previous game, couldn't it?

Yes, I wondered about that too

I had this dream about two days after I left with my family on vacation.

It starts where I am sitting on a hill underneath a large Oak Tree. I'm viewing a large valley covered with mounds (obviously the Barrow Downs). A large amount of people are having a party amongst the Barrows and all looks like its going fine. Suddenly I see a huge Bulldozer comes over the horizon with piosenniel (someone who looks like her avatar) in it! She gets out of the Bulldozer and unfurls a flag that says: "No more Signatures for the Downers! Ban them now!". Everyone laughs at her and starts to eat their pizza, but piosenniel gets into her Bulldozer and revs it up. She starts to destroy the Barrow Downs while chanting her slogan that's on her flag! Everyone flees in terror, but Hookbill scribbles some notes onto a piece of paper and just laughs.

I've never had a more complex dream than this!

That is tremendously amusing, Groin.

The other night, I had a dream that Nerwen told me that Diamond18 was dead. It was very realistic, as I was reading an obituary with her RL name in it...I remember musing on the futality of youth.

See, this is what happens to addicts when they can't get their fix. Two days off the Barrow-Downs, and Groin starts going into withdrawal.

I had a BD-ish dream this morning, I can't remember a great deal of it though, it's fading away so fast!

I remember that I was in my old school hall and for some reason there was a competition where you had to write an article for the school newspaper. As we didn't have a school newspaper I'm assuming I was thinking of the 'Downer, plus the guy running the competition was a dalek in a top hat, which is how I currently think of Hookbill.

Anyway, the competitors consisted of me, a few RL friends, Lommy and Lhuna. Lhuna was really getting into it, taking charge and saying that if we all wrote something different we could make a newspaper between ourselves and overthrow Hookbill. Lommy and I weren't so keen, saying that we really couldn't be bothered to do it every week so where was the point? Lhuna got quite cross and went storming across the hall ...

... and that's it. That's all I remember. Except that in the middle of the dream Lhuna started a quiz based on TV shows and I won. Unsurprisingly given that the quiz was on English TV shows!

I had another dream featuring a Downer this night. I don't remember much of it, but the point was that I was in a place which looked like my grandparents' flat, along with several other people, including my grandparents, but most of them were just some - and I now don't know what - friends? Or just "countrymen"? And there was also Lommy, who was something like a ghost, and she was invisible to anyone but me. And now, some of these countrymen (?) were traitors of our country (or city?) and I was trying to expose them. And Lommy, since she was invisible, helped me a lot with it - for example she followed some of them when they had a secret meeting where no one else was allowed, and she could overhear their plans. And the outcome was, that I was pretending to the traitors that I want to join them, and together with Lommy (who suddenly had a form at that time, I think), we tried to convince them that it was us who built the Trojan horse and thus, made Troy fall. And again, Lommy was invisible and by giving me the information she overheard (the others not only couldn't see her, but not even hear her) she helped me to find the arguments to make the traitors hide inside a Trojan horse and the plan was, I think, to lock them inside the horse or something. I think the dream ended here, however it seemed that they fell for it.

Interesting, eh? I have no idea how I could come up with something that complicated.
