Barrow-Down Dreams - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have had two barrow-downs dreams.

The first I don't realy remember, but it was something with Nilp and throwing tomatoes at people.

The second was about Sleepy, Mithalwen and people I can't remember. In strange way's i find out that Mithalwen want's to kill Sleepy because he has been cleaning her windows. She allso wants to kill another person for fixing her car and I am the only one that can warn them. Unfortunetley I woke before saving them. . .

It was a rather unpleassant dream allthoug it was no nightmare!

Well, that'll teach me never to do Mith any favors.

I dreamt that Fea and Boro were cunning, cunning wolves in some new sort of WW game whereby the first team to die won. So Boro got himself voted off first, and Fea voted for him so it would look like she wasn't a wolf. Then she made herself look very innocent... or something. All I know is that their team won very quickly.

Once again, TORE was there, but nowhere near interesting enough to remember.

Sorry...

While pondering whether to join the next werewolf game, I had a horrible dream that I was an inhabitant of a real mediaeval village being plagued by werewolves.

And I *still* signed up. I must be a glutton for punishment.

(I'm also ashamed to admit that I was almost as perturbed, in the dream, by the dowdy brown hempen peasant garments I was forced to wear, as by the fact that I was in imminent danger of being eaten by beasts of the night.)

On the second night of my first werewolf experiences I can relate that my dream was like this as well. Though, I kept being chased by the school children of the village, and that I never finished my last philosophical work, because one of the villagers kept borrowing my pens and never returning them. Plus, in the dream my writing desk had elephant legs... Quiet strange.

Then, I had another were the schoolchildren had convinced the local priest that I was a no-good Empirism philosopher, which sparked me being chased once again through the village, but this time by the priest as he was waving a work of Aquinas at me. Then, it lapsed into another dream were I was being banished from the village for my theories...

Ah, what a game of logic will provoke...

Last night, I had a really strange dream. I was a beggar called Ivor. Estelyn Telcontar was Frollo (from the Hunchback of Notre Dame). I was to kill her and asked her if she wanted to be killed by a staff, a club or a rusty sword. She chose the staff. I (or Ivor the beggar) was just going to crush her back with the staff, when I realized that I could not kill anyone.
Then Esty-Frollo told me about three opposing parties - elves, dwarves and hobbits - who wanted to adopt Garion (from David Eddings' Belgarion-books) after his parents' death. I had to test what party I was in. I was given paints and a paper and I had to paint something. I painted something red (which actually looked like SpM's new avvie. The result of the test was that I belonged to the dwarf party.

I had a dream this morning (sometime shortly before 8:00 AM) about lmp. In it, he had somehow become my history teacher from several years ago. However he looked nothing like either my history teacher or himself. He looked like my mental image of him, which is a bit like the man in his avatar, except with more modern clothing. For some reason my mom was going in to the school to argue with him about something. (This part might've been because parent-teacher conferences are today and tomorrow.) I have a very clear picture of him standing in the hall at my school. (It is actually in the part where all the social studies rooms are, but not where my classroom from that year was.) The rest of the dream was not BD-realted, but I did dream that one of my friends was reciting a particularly annoying commercial, and just as I was asking him why he was reciting it, I woke up to discover that that commercial was playing on the radio.

And so it comes to pass that the guy who be short's BDer dreams return unto him.

LMP wrote a book, so I went into a library to search for it. It took ages, I think I bought it eventually. Oddly enough, it turned out he had written a Discworld book - and it was absolutely hilarious. I remember laughing my head off at it.

That is all. When can we expect the book to hit the shelves, lmp?

SaucepanMan and I were walking together in the English countryside. He looked nothing like he actually does, assuming rather the form of his cartoon SpM avatar.

We had actually been sent out in a pair to look for Feanor of the Peredhil, who appeared to be missing. "A perfect day for Fea," I remember saying, pointing out the huge storm brewing.

Then, for some reason, we stopped looking for Fea and SpM started telling me about how sad he was that nobody on the Downs liked him. I said this was false, and that I, for one, do like him. I also made a list of other Downers who I claimed liked him, though I've forgotten them now.

Unfortunately, this didn't console SpM at all, and he continued moping. Then the dream sort of melded into another one, ending in a flying dream (I love them so much...) and the apparition of a guy I like, shoving SpM completely out of the picture.

Now, the Fea bit I understand; she's gone off for a while, which is a little depressing. I can understand SpM thinking everybody hates him because I'd taken a "Why do people hate you?" test that day (apparently, they don't, I'm perfect). What I don't get is... why the Saucepan Man? I hadn't been thinking about him at all beforehand.

The little SpM in your mind must have been feeling neglected, and decided to remind you to appreciate him via the medium of dreams...

I don't think this has something to do with your very early death in Werewolf XV...does it?

My older brother (who isn't even a BDer) had a dream about a Downer. How cool was that?

My brother and I were in some random place (a mall, he thinks), when something bad happens (a tsunami, he thinks). So everyone goes into panic mode, except us, who continue walking to our destination calmly. He asks why we aren't leaving, and I answer "[dancing spawn of ungoliant] is here." So we walk on to some connecting building with a few rooms. One of them has spawn's real name in it. So we knock on the door, and then she comes out. I tell her we need to leave because something bad has happened. Then my brother woke up, and found me playing Chip's Challenge, and tells all this to me.
