Barrow-Down Dreams

[Kath]

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.

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...

I actually ended up having two Barrow Downs dreams last night.
In the first dream I was on the Hindenburg blimp and Mormegil was the pilot. And I begged to be let off, but morm just laughed at me.

In my second dream Gil-Galad kept showing up in the latest werewolf and was voting for random people. First he voted for morm, then the Barrow Wight, then I think someone that doesn't even exist on the Barrow Downs.

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?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Improve my grip on finances? I could have told you that.

I remember studying dreams a couple of years ago. Well, I use the word 'studying' but I really mean staring blankly in lectures. Anyway, I know what you mean by the separate segments of sleep guy. Also, is it true that you're more likely to have Barrowdowns dreams if you've been browsing the site for hours before sleep? I know that I tend to dream about the Downs during my periods of obsession. However, I never really have dreams about doors and I encounter many doors each day. What's all that about?

Well, how long do you explicitly think about doors each day? And how long do you spend straining your brain on BD?

I've just remembered, to tag onto the last dream, that Eomer (in Snoopy form) was deliriously happy because he was selling lots of products in his still-half-completed shopping centre.

I had a dream about the latest werewolf game. The only thing was everyone was a stick figure. And me being the wolf I am was going around impaling everyone's stick figure heads on spears. And the last person I left alive was TGWBS.
I might have found it disturbing if it didn't involve stick figures.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

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.

Fëânòr óf thé Pêrèðïl, perhaps you were dreaming of this site, BethBerry's psychic mediums rather than this site: BarrowDowns chat wights . Hmm?

I experience a creepy dream about breakfast last night... Seriously! Breakfast foods were involved!


Anyways, I'm in some 'community'-like kitchen and walking around looking at the lovely tile, then out of no where I look up and someone from the downs (they have blonde hair... That's all i remember, so don't get your hopes up at a name) is cooking. Before I can sneek out, they wip around with a plate of something and give it to me. They start spouting off something like:

" You should eat it, it's really good. I found some eggs in the back of the fridge and other things to make it with. See? There was only three pieces of spinach, and two pieces of bacon in it."

I look at them for a minute in disbelief, ask if they have ever actually eaten any of it. Oh course, they haven't, so i'm left with them looking at me trying to make me eat it. The eggs looked somewhat greenish and there's this odor stuff coming off of it, so I say 'no thank you, maybe another time'.

All I can remember from that point was that they were slightly angry and they walked out of the kitchen. That's it.

I can't figure out why I didn't post this earlier - I dreamt it more than a week ago - but it was scary. I think it would make a good horror film.

Well, Firefoot was the leader of an evil pack of werewolves who inhabited a parallel universe. She opened a portal into ours, and suddenly, the entire planet was being bitten in the night.

I remember watching a news report about how the werewolf epidemic was worst in Africa - in Eritrea the werewolf population had reached 40%.

Anyway, basically, the world was under siege from Firefoot and her band of evil werewolves from the next universe along. There was a lot more to the dream - I was trying to stop Firefoot somehow - but as I've left it so late, I've forgotten all that. Sorry. I've also completely forgotten how Firefoot looked - furry, most likely.


Oh, and mormegil, you haven't been forgotten. I dreamt you were writing loads of huge essays full of complex interpretations of Tolkien in a new sub-forum devoted to your essays.

That brings me up to 14 people. Try and beat that! I could host a dream-party...

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

I saw these dreams quite a while ago but I just recently recalled them.

My first dream was about the 2nd werewolf game. I was walking in a medieval town - the buildings were from 19th century but it was a medieval town, nonetheless. To add the proper feeling I saw my whole dream in differen shades of sepia. I remembered that I was supposed to phone phantom so we could discuss who we would like to kill during the night. When I called him (with a cell phone that worked with coins...) his voice was really high-pitched and it sounded like a voice of a six-year-old girl.

Now, I can put up with lots of oddities in my dreams but I just couldn't imagine phantom with such voice. I decided that it must be his little sister who answered the phone. Suddenly I was watching the dream like from a screen that was divided in two. In the right half I was making a phone call and in the left half there was phantom's little sister who wanted to babble about something I can't remember. I guess she would have talked for ages but that's when my coins and dream ended.

My second dream was about WW7. A person called Esgallhunardawen sent me e-mail and asked my opinion of the wolves' identities. Suddenly my mail box was swarming with Downers' names that bounced around the page and I was supposed to spot the wolves from the chaos of names.

Thirdly, Fea wanted to make a short film as some school project and she recruited half of the members of the Downs to act in it. We stood confused in some huge warehouse and didn't have a clue what was about to happen or what the film's plot was. Just when something exciting would have happened, the dream ended.

I think I just did, though I must admit that your dreams sound to be much higher quality than mine. Can I lodge a complaint? I want to see more interesting dreams.

[the guy who be short]

I dreamt that Lhuna and Nilp were arrested for accessing BD - illegal in the Phillipines! Yes, my dream self knows even less about Phillipinean politics than I do (and all I know is that most of the government recently resigned or something like that).

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?

This was an odd dream, combining BD and HP. But HerenIstarion likes HP anyway.

I was on MSN when suddenly I got sucked through and ended up in Georgia. H-I was working on a computer, typing away, looking just like he does in the photo album. He was at a long desk with a woman typing on his left and a man on his right. He also had the BD site open, but whenever anybody came near he minimized it, and since his workmates didn't know how to minimise, that was all good and fine.

Another interesting note is that I was in the USSR. Don't ask me how I knew. I just did. H-I and his office were in the modren day - but the USSR still existed in the dream.

H-I apologised to me, because he had the old version of MSN and couldn't transport me home through it (evidently he was a wizard). However, one of his workmates, Hansi, would do it as soon as he finished work.

I got bored waiting around and stepped out of the offices. Outside, there were stairs to go down, but also about twelve massive dogs (I have a phobia of big dogs). I wanted to go down, but I wasn't allowed out of the office (it was unproductive) without some dogs. So two dogs took me down, but there was nothing there, so I came back up.

Upon entering the office, I found that something had happened to Hansi (he was either dead, fainted, or taken to hospital). I got worried that I wouldn't be able to get home, but luckily H-I transported me using Hansi's computer.

I had a Downs related Dream last night.

Me and a company of Downers were travelling through Moria. For some reason. We got to the Bridge of Kazad-dum and found it broken (Because of Gandalf fighting Mr Balrog) it then chanced that, for some reason, Gil-gallad was on the other side. We asked him to help but he decided to break the rest of the bridge as well. Needless to say, most of us were unhappy with this and we found some wooden planks that went across the gorge.
When across the gorge we chased Gil to Lorien where we found that he was planning to build a new bridge, one that would not break by the tap of a staff.

It was immensely strange.
