You mean like this?

There you go Brinn, you're subconscious also is up-to-date on the prehistoric discoveries of penguin adaptation and study.

As for me, I had several dreams last night where there was running/walking involved or something, but only one had Downer references. One of them was staged in a piece of work I did for Rune's B-Day, where there's this tree with Odin's face in it and it starts glaring at me and says, "You didn't shade enough! 3H graphite pencil isn't enough! I need more!"
Then I ended up just walking off and I find Fea and Diamond writing a story someway inspired by WW and the Downs. I go to look at it and whenever I lean over the writing and scribbles of editing it disappears since apparently I'm not allowed to see it, then they walk away with the story and the dream ends.

No, I have no clue what it means and I think it's a rather annoying dream because my work was critizing me, which I can do enough on my own.

Aha, so giant penguins do exist! ...Or rather, they once did..

Had a dream the other night about Rikae and Mac. It basically boiled down to my mind making needless correlations, and went something like:

I went to the wedding, and saw this very nice old German lady who is connected in a totally obscure and confusing way to my late great grandmother, and was like, "Tilly, what are you doing here?"

And she was like, "It's my great-nephew's wedding. What are you doing here?"

And then I was like "Zomg, we're all like family now!"

I had a most disturbing dream. In it, Mith and the phantom were both really angry at me. That was because I had cricised Arda Cup Soccer and said that tp shouldn't be included in the Tol-in-Gaurhoth team, because he's always included everywhere. I said they should take some member who's just as active but gets less attention, like Groin, for example. Mith was outraged that I could even suggest something like that and the phantom was rather upset too. So, they stopped talking to be, but they were always laughing and gossiping behind my back, and telling other 'downers bad stories about me. They were also sure that it's going to be a fiasco (and told as much to everybody) when they heard I was to play Hermione Granger in the last Harry Potter movie. ( ) Even though I was angry at them too, I couldn't ignore their cricitism, for I too doubted my capability to handle a major film role. Unfortunately, Mith and tp also tried to sabotage my position as Beorn's heir. (I almost wrote "Beorn's hair"... ) They questioned the papers that proved I was the heir and started such a public debate and suspicion that Beorn himself had to come back from the woods where he had retreated to and put his paw print on the papers to verify them. That silenced Mith and tp for a while.

That sure is a complicated dream, Thinlomien. I wonder what you did to have your crazy, yet lovable, brain make up such a dream?

I saw an amusing dream. I had a TARDIS inside the cellar of a TARDIS. At first I suggested to take my philosophy group to see something intresting and historic. There were different ideas, but I wanted to see the playwrite Sophocles, whom Karl von Munchausen has also met, and being a fan of Munchausen, I thought I might find him there as well. Then the philosophy group changed into another bunch of people and in the end it was the lot with which I spent the last week of my holiday (I met a fellow BDer!!), except that instead of Legate a silly guy I know from secondary school called Mikael was there. In the end everyone except the two Vikings (Rune and the scary Rohanian man (who was neither scary, nor Rohanian, nor a man) decided they wanted to travel back in time. Mikael had some really bad suggestions, but I don't remember where exactly we would go to (the dream ended before we got anywhere), though I suspect it was Italy.

Otherwise in the dream people were mostly messing around in the wonderful cellar, while I was making sure that I had everything with me (sonic screwdriver, psychic paper, accumulators for the CD-player, etc.) because that was the first time I tried to fly the TARDIS.

Ha! Rucksack again! So it's not just me who imagines that Rune must have a rucksack in every dream!

Welcome to the family!

As a matter of fact, I do have some very distant relatives that immigrated into the US a long time ago, so there's a chance.

She's not from the US. She was like... An exchange student? And my great-great-grandparents hosted her... or something? And she became close with my great-grandma and over the past sixty or seventy years has flown to the US regularly to visit. And now, even after my great-grandma died, she still comes to visit, and my aunt and some of my cousins fly to Germany every year or so to go hang out with her and her family. And she brings us chocolate.

So, point being, due to the smallness of the world, they're probably your next door neighbors.

In a way, though, I personally think they're hiding out somewhere. Probably in the infamous rucksack...

So that's why Rune's been always carrying it! Maybe he is smuggling them all around the world...

It is a quite tiresome job, but it pays well.

The churchyard was filled with snow. "Yay, now it looks more like it should look like," I commented and somehow stepped into the picture and then I was in the churchyard. Brinn was there (and she had taken a really long hair extension, by the way). We were both very happy to see each other and hugged. Then, Greenie, Aganzir, Volo and Legate popped into the churchyard as well. "What are you doing here?" I asked, for as far as I knew, they were supposed to be in our summer cottage. The others looked at Legate, and in the end, he spoke up, scratching his ear: "I just heard Brinn calling me in the distance. We followed the call and it pulled us here." Then all the six of us went for a walk around the churchyard and after that - I think - we went to have hot chocolate in a nearby café. Needless to say, it was a very pleasant dream.

That does sound like a lovely dream. So lovely that I wish it'd all come true (the hair extension part too)....even if I don't live near a churchyard.

Move closer to some then and let's do it!

All right, I had a weird dream tonight, and I hope I will be able to put it together well, although I sure forgot something of it.

I was going to the US, respectively, according to where it was on the map, it would be somewhere in the center of Canada, but it was the US. Kath was living there. It took me one day to go through dense forest to her house, which was a large family-house partially made of glass, had two or three floors and was full of lustres and very noble-looking inside. Kath invited me inside, but I said that I want to go instead to the old garage which was located under the hill on which the house stood, and said that I am going to wait there for Brinn, Volo, Aganzir, A Little Green, Lommy and their RL friend, Annina, who were to come. So we went to the old garage, which was falling apart and a very old car from the 50s was standing there. Suddenly all the expected Downers started to come, one by one or by two at maximum. When Volo and Aganzir came, they started to speculate about using the car to go somewhere, and when Little Green came there, she became all enthusiastic and started even polishing the car so that it's nice when we drive it (the RL friend of theirs was just hanging around and kept telling them that it's all nonsense). Then suddenly there was a bus stop and I said that I am not going to go with them but wait for the bus to come. And that's about all of it.

A while ago I had a long and rather complicated BD dream but I can't recall all of it. I remember it included Rune being somehow physically disabled (paralysed or something) and being very much like (both personality and looks) Eustace from Narnia. He was rather annoying and insisted on being carried everywhere. Then, also, Angela Merkel was chasing me, Legate, Volo and Greenie around Helsinki at some phase. Originally, Agan had invited her to join our company, but the four of us (especially Volo and I) were against the idea, so we ran away and she followed... Also, this all had something to do with tp writing a relationship guide and dedicating it to Fea, Eomer and Cailín...
