Barrow-Down Dreams - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hmm...I dreamed that I was modding a Werewolf game, and I had got three deaths done, but I was stuck on the fourth (TGWBS's, I think) so I started going killing Werewolves by sticking cherry bombs up various, um...crevasses. (It had to be cherry bombs, because anything else that would have been of use is illegal in Michigan.) There were something like fourteen Wolves, and they all looked like strange armored Star-Wars-esque dinosaurs. ¿

I had a dream in which I received around 20 different rep comments overnight, including one from Hulk Hogan! Only thing is, it wasn't for my posts; all the reps were for various Simpsons jokes, and I was being given the credit.

I remember dreaming that I got a reputation point from the Barrow Wight and instead of it being a green blob it was gold! I remember staring at it and saying "ooohhh!" over and over again. In fact, so convincing was the dream that I woke up at 2:00 in the morning and switched my laptop on to investigate the Barrow Downs, but found no gold blob.

If there had been, I believe it would look something like this;

I had a dream where Firefoot was evil and tricksy and led a bunch of people through some desert to find something that didn't exist or something like that.

And I had a dream where HerenIstarion was in fact a jester named 'Josh' or something along those lines.

Don't ask me...

I've had two BD dreams lately. The first I had several days ago. I had gotten up early to post in WW, spent some time on the 'Downs, then turned off the computer and gone back to sleep. When I was sleeping I had this dream. In it, Mithalwen was an elementary school teacher who looked exactly like Eowyn in Lhunardawen's avatar. She was teaching a bunch of very unruly kids, and she was outside on the playground supervising recess. The children were constantly writing annoying little poems about her and reading them aloud to her. Anyway, she made a costume of Eowyn's shieldmaiden dress, but was too nervous to wear it to schoool for a while. Somebody finally convinced her to wear it, and she did, but the neckline of the vest was too high and the sleeves of the dress were wrong. (I think this part was influenced by the fact that I had been reading the What LotR Costumes/Clothes Have You Made? thread.) Anyway, one of the male teachers at the school apparently had a crush on Mith, and her students were the first ones to figure it out. They wrote an annoying little poem telling her this, and so the other teacher finally confessed his feelings to her while they were standing in the parking lot. My apologies Mith, for my bizzare subconcious!

Last night, I had another LotR dream. I was at a robotics competition, and somehow the Barrow-Wight was working with my team. He found out that I was a BDer and wanted to talk to me then. I don't remember too much of the dream, except that there was an all-girl team who had black shirts with Burrahobbit's avatar on them. Also, there was some girl on my team who I'd never met before who turned out to be a BDer, and I had a conversation with her. I seem to recall that we all ate cake and ice cream (with caramel sauce) and that there was also something that people called "15 hour sauce" (which turned out to be pure caffiene) that they were putting on the ice cream too. 'Twas a very strange dream!

The Only Real Estel's comments on the Reputations thread reminded me of a dream I had the other night. I dreamt that I received an unsigned reputation (a positive one) but it was so nonsensical that I wanted to PM the sender to ask what it meant. Because it wasn't signed I spent the whole dream going through the members list and PMing people to ask if they had sent it, but everyones inboxes were full so I couldn't get through! Then suddenly everyone cleared their inbox all at once and I got about a hundred messages (somehow mine did not become full) and they all wanted to claim this rep. I have no idea who it actually belonged to in the end but I felt so exhausted when I woke up because in the dream I was physically running around the Downs from thread to thread. It was a bit odd.

the guy who be short · 07-27-2005, 08:56 AM

Well, I'd been watching Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets the night before and...

Encaitare was standing in a puddle of water next to Mrs Norris, who was hung up on a wall. I can't remember what she said or did, but she was taller, thinner, younger and less wrinkled than I used to imagine her, so we're getting there slowly, Enca...

A short description of TGWBS's sleep patterns

I typically go to sleep between the hours of 10pm and midnight. I am woken at about 6-7 by my parents noisily leaving to go to work. I then fall back to sleep and wake up at about 10.

Anyway, because of this, I get to remember two sets of dreams. However, because of falling asleep in between them, I only remember the first set vaguely.

A lot of the shorter dreams are from when I get woken at 7, and are thus only half remembered.

A dream about Eomer of the Rohirrim

I flew on a broom (too much HP? I haven't even read any for days...) to a huge shopping centre shaped like a cathedral. It was made of red (painted) steel and glass, mostly glass. Eomer owned it and was happily there, in the form of Snoopy, in the middle. The glass hadn't actually been put into the building yet, so it was just the steel infrastructure that was actually up.

What this means I have no idea. Perhaps I think Eomer should improve his grip on finances?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 08-12-2005, 08:06 AM

I had a dream last night. It was... odd. Very short, and very little to do with anything going on in my life that I can think of.

I was walking through my old high school and saw a notice board. On it was a list of names of famous people who would be visiting "next Monday". On it were a few names that I can't for the life of me remember, but the second on the list was Bethberry. I remember thinking in my dream "Whoa! How'd my school learn about Bethberry?!? That's crazy."

Then I woke up. The end.

PS: Beth's name actually had the little ê in it! My dreams have better use of alt codes that my waking life does.

the guy who be short · 08-15-2005, 01:23 PM

Well, I'll admit it's a little odd, but my latest dream was about GlingleglingleglingleFairy. I have no idea who it is, but somebody mentioned him/her in the Which Downer Am I? quiz.

I was next to a forest talking to a friend when three little toddlers, aged 3-4 maybe, came out of it with their hands on each other's shoulders, like a conga. They were very cherub-like and kept chanting "glingleglingleglingleglingleglingle" as they conga-ed along. Odd, no?

High King Fingolfin · 07-20-2005, 03:35 PM

I had a dream a few nights ago that my sister (Oro) and I were sitting at a table in this sort of tavern thing and Dominic Monaghan was sitting at the table next to us and he was wearing this blue shirt with potatoes somehow sewn inside it. He then walked out into this hallway, and we heard someone announce that they were going to play a song ( I can't remember its name, although I know it had the word "Faerie" in it) that was somehow dedicated to Scotland and we were sad that Dominic Monaghan would have to miss it. So we walked over to this place in the room where there was a raised dance floor and a guy with some sort of stringed instrument that you pluck who was singing the song, the lyrics of which somehow involved the Quiz Room and LotR. From that point, our converation went something like this:

"Hey that must be Eomer!"
"Do we know of any other Scottish B-Ders?"
"He looks a lot like Denethor."

I also remember there was this one string on his instrument which had the same color as the links here, and that I knew that this was a "link string," and that if the string was plucked, it would take us somewhere. The string, however, was not plucked.

I unfortunately don't remember any thing more than that.

the guy who be short · 07-22-2005, 04:17 AM

I dreamt that I received a PM (I forget who from, possibly Oromin) and it turned into a rep when I clicked on it! It said something like "Very nice knowing you, but I'm leaving forever."

I have a vague feeling Gil-Galad was somewhere in my mind too last night.

Kitanna · 07-22-2005, 09:07 AM

I had a dream last night about Feanor. She was in my old high school just drawing pictures of the Loony Tunes and at one point she drew the Roadrunner choking Wile E Coyote. She looked over at me and said "I'm so sick of that coyote chasing the Roadrunner." There was more to the dream, but no more involving Feanor.

Durelin · 07-22-2005, 10:27 AM

I swear I told someone to watch out for the werewolves the other night...

Just found this... I like the idea of looking just like Eowyn, dislike the teaching (the ones I "taught" were beyond unruly - more into assault), wearing LOTR costumes as an adult other than as a joke at a fancy dress party for me is a pecadillo that should be confined to the privacy of one's own home. Sounds terribly like my sewing skils though!!! Main question: was he cute?

Actually, I can't remember. I believe he had glasses, but that's all I can really recall. It's odd, because I can remember certain bits of that dream very well now (you standing on some steps wearing the Eowyn dress and the mistake in its neckline), and other parts only barely. My mind works in odd ways...

mormegil · 12-16-2005, 11:32 AM

I had a dream last night about a new WW game where I was the seer, while there were some BDers there were hundreds of people playing and I was the only seer. I had a dream about Andre Kirilenko. It was really odd and hopeless because of the hundres of people I was only able to get two or three dreams in before the wolves killed me.

the phantom · 12-16-2005, 12:01 PM

I'm so jealous of all you people having all of these cool Barrow-Downs dreams. For some reason, I never have any. Maybe it's because I don't truly know what any of you look like. Even if your pic is on the pic page, I still don't know what you look like in three dimensions from head to toe like people I know in person.

Or maybe my dreams have featured Barrow-Downers and I just don't remember them, which doesn't really count. I can tell you, it really is disappointing that I've never had a BD dream when you consider how much time I've spent here over the past few years. There are bunches of cool guys and hot women on this site, so I have no doubt that a Barrow-Downs dream would be loads of fun. I just wish I could have one. Any tips?
