Speaking of that, I could maybe mention that during our stay in Finland, me and Rune, if I recall correctly, were chosen as most probable that one of us could become the Pope. Although I think I was the only one who voted for Rune...

I vote Formy... oh wait... Anyway, so do my dreams predict the future then?

I had some BD dreams about a week ago.

The first one wasn't very BDer involved. But it started off with me waking up in some sort of museum/aquarium. And on display were giant penguins. I think they were supposed to be Emperor Penguins, except they were something like five feet tall. I got to observe them, take pictures, and even hold a baby one (which was not giant) in my hands. And of course my first thought was, Ooh, I have to call Lommy and tell her about this. She's gonna be so jealous! There was much more to this dream, but sadly no BDers were involved.

In my second dream, I returned to my computer and got onto the Downs only to discover Mac and Rikae's WW game had already begun. But instead of typical WW, it was being played through some online roleplaying game (something like World of Warcraft, I'd imagine). And the special feature of this game was that instead of typing their arguments and suspicions, the players spoke with microphones from their computers. I can't remember much who was playing...I know there were a lot of regular WWers. But what struck me odd was the fact that Bethberry was playing...as far as I know, she has never WWed before. Meanwhile, I was trying to figure out how to work this new way of playing WW as I had entered the game much later than everyone else.

I've had a couple of BD dreams lately, which have naturally been influenced by last week's happenings.

The first one was kind of a flashback: Legate came to Finland. But he looked completely different from his photopage picture - he was very short (about my height) and very fat. He had short, light brown hair, and a round face which looked almost like he had Down syndrome (he-he). He kept jumping around and laughing at very silly things.
I would never had believed him to be the Legate of Amon Lanc from the Downs.

Then there was another dream. A few years ago there was an incident in Helsinki in which a man took an axe with him to the metro and killed some random guy. Well, in my dream I was sitting in the metro, and knew that someone would soon kill someone.
I had barely noticed Rune when he pulled an axe from under his grey-striped jumper and started hitting the guy who was sitting opposite to me. I left my seat and went a bit farther from him to call the ambulance while everybody else screamed.
When the police had come and taken Rune away, I fetched his all bloody rucksack from his place and took it with me in case he would still need it.

Agan, your subconscious is hilarious. Especially that Rune-thing is priceless.

And Brinn, that penguin dream must have been awesome - I wish I had such dreams too.

I had an entertaining dream last night where I was absently observing a thread, I think - though it might have been a chat - about the various schools downers have attended.

This wouldn't really have caught my eye had people not started talking about how Kath loves her grad school, mine, and goes for hikes in the woods outside the city all the time.

I obviously reacted with jaw-dropped incredulity: the college is small. I know many of the students, if not personally than by sight. I know most of the faculty, and much of the staff. It will be strange in a week and a half when a horde of new freshmen arrive for orientation and I know none of them. And yes the graduate program runs on its own set of tracks, but still, I reasoned to Brinniel, surely I would have known if Kath was attending my school and living in my [very small] city. Surely she might have mentioned to me that she intended to come here? And how could I not have known that she'd been living less than a block away from me for months now?

Brinniel failed to console my tremendous oversight, and I mentioned something about Lhuna and Johns Hopkins, and then my dream changed into some weird sing-along in the library which involved a bunch of people I haven't talked to in years and a Santa Claus puppet, and all else was unrelated to the Downs...

Indeed, it was. You should tack a poster of penguins to your ceiling so that penguins are the last thing you see before you fall asleep.

I can't believe I forgot an important part of this dream! While I was playing this weird version of WW, I was hanging out in RL with Glirdan...apparently we had become good friends. When I woke up, I couldn't help but wonder how he managed to wander into my dream considering I never knew him that well and I think he's been missing from the Downs for about a year now...

Another dream I had a few nights ago was about Rune. On Facebook he changed his profile picture for the first time in ages to a completely different photo that resembled something like a professional portrait. The picture looked like Rune, except he was clean shaven and much more poised. I remember writing on his wall to tell him it was a good photo and to keep it as his profile picture for awhile.

And then last night I had a rather silly dream about Legate. He was participating in a wrestling match of all things (I think for a college team). Never mind the small detail that this wrestling match occurred in a boxing ring. Anyway, poor Legate didn't stand a chance against his opponent who was twice his size. And as I watched him get tossed about, I couldn't help but wonder how Legate got to be a wrestler in the first place (don't worry, he didn't get hurt if you were wondering). Then later on, I was browsing on the internet when I came across an article with Legate's picture and a lengthy interview about his life. So apparently in my dream, Legate was not only a wrestler but semi-famous. I think there might've been even more details involving Legate in this dream, but alas, I cannot remember.
