I had a dream about Ents a few nights ago! There was something about some endangered creatures living in our back garden and I had to find them. To help me in the search, the phantom, Kath and Squatter came along. Although, the phantom was annoyed at me the whole time for not making him awesome enough in the comic strips.
When we did find the creatures, an Ent came along and took the little squirrel-like thing away. I followed the Ent through the village and he eventually came back to my house and asked for some tea.
Then I woke up. I had left my curtains open, which is unusual, but I looked out of the window and saw next door's tree swaying quite a lot. For one, brief but magical second, I almost believed it was an ent.

Sounds like Ents dislike chat-skwerlz just as much as our moderators.

Also, I was worried that I'd forget my pocket handkerchief.

Just tell me which is Lommy's teddy bear and I'm sure some of this will come true.

I had a dream last night that I was in Finland and we were filming a Barrow Downs sit-com.
I don't remember much besides Aganzir saying, "You're not going to William Worm your way out of this situation!" to Lommy an awful lot. I suspect she was trying to make her wear a beard or something.
There was a studio audience which probably wasn't good for Agan and Lommy's flat!!

I had two dreams tonight.

In the first dream I saved up $1000, and announced to my parents that I'm going to Finland for a moot next summer. They approved. My mother bought me fancy clothes to wear on the trip. Then my parents started looking at the hotel prices, and they were 10,000 euro and up. Therefore my parent's support deflated somewhat. (why on earth would I need a hotel I don't know, since all the mooters just seem to exploit the Finns' hospitality ). Anyways, the verdict was that I am to fly to Finland for a few minutes to se how it goes, and maybe meanwhile they'll figure something out about the hotel. So I arrive in Finland, and me, Agan, Lommy, and Oddwen (who was also visiting) all knelt on a blanket and looked up at the sky searching for Planet Earth, forgetting that we're still on it. Endeth Dream One.

In my second dream I was skyping with Saruman. He was insane, and looked like a cartoonized insane old man. For some reason I decided to give him mental therapy. At first he kept saying that he has to kill Gandalf, and I was telling him that he doesn't have to kill Gandalf (each emphasized word was accompanied by a smash of the keyboard). Then I noticed that on his head he had a weird accessory, kind of like two balloons connected together. One was yellow and one was blue. If you press on the yellow, most of the air goes into the blue, and vice versa. So I tell him that when it's daytime, the light is more than the dark, so he nods and makes the yellow larger. And when it's night... [repeat vice versa]. Then I tell him to make the blue one smaller without making the yellow bigger. So he does, but the yellow still becomes bigger. I tell him to reduce the yellow, and he does, but it's not the smallest yet. I keep shouting at him to make it smaller! the smallest! and he keeps tuning down both balloons until they are almost gone. I think my purpose was to make them disappear, which would make him sane, but at the last moment I thought that he looks even less sane than he did before, and he's about to turn the baloons back up on full - but here endeth Dream Two. And at the end of it for some reason I was shouting at him in Hebrew.


I am completely bonkers.

I had a dream last night about a moot. Aganzir had posted on the Downs about a recent moot and what it was like. At the end of her post she made a note for me. It was about ticket prices to Finland or a related subject, in any case it was something that would have been better to put in a PM. She also had made some comment directed toward me that included information that she was privvy to, but I did not want to make public. I was (a) quite embarrassed that she had let everyone know about whatever it was and (b) baffled that she decided to share something with me that was very off-topic from the rest of her post. Ah, my subconscious.

I had a dream last night that Bêthberry made a facebook event for a midwest-moot and put me in charge. I kept insisting this was a bad idea because when I'm in charge it ends with everyone drunk on vodka and rum eating cheese and crackers. I'm pretty sure I even cried, but she refused to be swayed by my tears, judging them inadequate for getting out of planning a moot.

I woke up feeling miserable and a little mad at Bêthberry. And then I thought a midwest-moot would be fun, but I'd need to bribe someone to plan it because it'll end in drunk BDers stuffed on crackers and cheese if I do.

I had a dream Legate came over for lunch in what was supposed to be my parent's new place. We started talking about books (duh), one thing led to another and I ended up transferring to his computer all the Russian books I've saved up as pdfs, including the entire Harry Potter series.

You're welcome, Legate. If any of you want a pdf of a book you can't find in the library...
