Barrow-Down Dreams - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Formendacil · 03-01-2006, 01:10 PM

Well, it seems I have now entered the realm of Barrow-Downer Dreamers. Well, I've had a couple of dreams with Werewolf or Rep in them, but last night I had my first proper dream involving a 'Downer. Or maybe two...

For some background information, it's essential that you are aware of my employment as a Cook (sometimes this equals Grunt) in a pizza shop. In my dream, it seems that it was either late at night or sometime in the earlier afternoon, since I was the only cook in the store. It also seems that I was still somewhat sick, and was in need of using the washroom.

At this point, Anguirel comes in, and I get into a huff because he was supposed to have been there earlier (apparently Anguirel works with me...) and I was ticked off because I needed him to cut his pizzas while I went to the washroom.

At this point I woke up, and realized with a shock that Anguirel is a 'Downer, not a co-worker, so he could not have been buying pizza, or working with me, and he definitely couldn't have a PIN number of "X".

TGWBS seems to have been in the picture somewhere as well... Possibly he was the useless delivery driver that was leaving all the work to me.

It beats my most recent barrowdowns related dream though Form.

In mine a group of downers, of whom I can only remember you (Form), Wayne, Abercrombie/Malka and myself specifically, were at my grandmothers house to play werewolf. Real Werewolf, the wolves killed people and we, well, I think we threw them into a pond that was on my grandma's porch. One of the mornings we'd woken up and before we'd gathered to figure out who the wolves had killed I went to brush my teeth. Come to find out, of course, the wolves had killed WaynetheGoblin and turned him into the toothpaste I had just used.

Three guesses who read her tooth-past lable extra carfully this morning...

Last night I had an interesting dreamlette (one of those really short dreams, it's more like a picture than anything else.) I was working at a grocery store and I had just finished ringing a customer up, so I looked over to start ringing up the next person. And lo and behold! the next person in line was Esty and she had tons and tons of salad. She had stacked it up on top of the counter and in the cart and it was overflowing into the next aisle. She just stood in the middle of it all smiling and wearing her red dress that she's wearing in her BD picture.

Your grandma has a pond on her porch?

Shelob · 03-01-2006, 04:12 PM

Not really, but it was my-grandmother's-house-in-a-dream-world. Unless I'm much mistaken the whole porch (pond and all) later turned into a car...but that wasn't barrowdowns related and made too little sense for me to bother mentioning it. Except I just did...

Farael · 03-02-2006, 10:58 AM

I dreamt of a cartoon. Even more so, a Garfield cartoon. Pretty innocent, eh? so first drawing, Garfield approaches a tree. Second one, there's a man who was hung there, with a pan placed instead of his head and a big sign saying "Good job villagers," and another at the man who was probably SPM saying "The Wolves"

I should seriously quit.

Valier · 03-02-2006, 11:04 AM

This was so weird but I had a dream that i was doing something.......can't remember. Then everywhere Nilp kept popping up saying kill me! you know you want to! Or I shall kill me for you! and stuff to that effect. It was weird because I would open the trash can lid and there would be Nilp.....Open the closet...There's Nilp amongst the shoes! And the thing is i can't remember what he looked like either! Just that he was everywhere and he wanted to die one way or another! I told you it was weird!

Maeggaladiel · 03-03-2006, 12:30 PM

Now this is just plain silly. I don't even PLAY Werewolf, and I just had a dream about me, my RP character Fionn, and Undome's RP character Meghan being attacked by werewolves (And one weretiger). We were in a big courtyard with Theoden and an army of warriors from Rohan, and as Theoden was talking, I saw a pair of werewolves creep up behind him. I yelled out, and suddenly the werewolf army ambushed us.

One grabbed me and was yelling that he was going to bite my head off, and I was screaming at Fionn and Meghan to help me. Finally they got the idea and came forward, but as soon as they attacked the wolf, their swords turned into blunt metal sticks. Eventually Fionn managed to kill it somehow, with Meghan holding it back.

Oddwen · 03-13-2006, 08:57 AM

Alright...last night I dreamed I went to work (BK), and I punched in, and my manager Mary was showing me the schedule, but right next to it this new topic on the BD's opened up. I can't remember what it was called, but I remember the third post was by this unregistered user named something like "unbalthawen".

Two posts later, the user had registered, and was saying something like "The Only Real Estel and Oddwen are the rockingest people on the planet and I only like them, but Oddwen, I've been to Holland and I don't think I should associate with you."

Then people I didn't recognize started joining in and saying how awesome I was and how much they adored me. (Malkatoj may have been one of these.)

It was a quite possibly the best dream I've ever had.

Although it was starting to get quite sad, as the posts got more and more off-topic and I felt the BW was going to close it soon.
But I've never been to Holland.

Too tall, hair's about right, I really have no idea if my eyes are "spunky"...I just like that they seem to change colors, bigger than that (unfortunately...drat), probably not far off...

Been reading your rep comments a lot lately?

Hilde Bracegirdle · 03-13-2006, 11:26 AM

A few nights ago I had this wonderful dream seen through the eyes of one of my RPG’s characters. It involved the impending end of a story and I was consciously thinking to my unconscious self - Fantastic! I’ve got to remember this stuff!

It was only as I was waking up I realized that that particular character met his end a long time ago, and that none of it would have worked anyway. It's some sort of sickness, but to be honest I wouldn’t might having a few more ‘bouts of it.

Glirdan · 03-14-2006, 05:35 PM

I don't see how me saying this could cause anyharm considering... well, why don't I just tell it.

Last night, I had a dream that I got a PM from Nilp telling me that Mith and myself (don't know why she was in it) we were the Seers for the game. Then, a little later on, Mith PM'ed me and suggested that we either dream about Garin or Valier and that's where it ended.

Now, don't ask me how Mith got to be a part of this dream considering she's not a part of Nilp's game. I think it may be because of the Tol-in-Gaurhoth Grimoire thread. I'm still trying to figure the dream out.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 04-15-2006, 04:54 AM

I just had a dream involving a few Downers. For some reason, I was in my family's old house. Anguirel was there and he presented me with an essay he'd written discussing the connexion between the new Flaming Lips album and Jadis the White Witch from Narnia (two awesome subjects). I remember discerning what I believed to be an overlooked flaw in his theory, but I was possibly completely missing his point. I remember Anguirel to be youthful, handsome, intelligent and friendly — for anyone interested in what he's like.

SamwiseGamgee was there too, just hanging out at my house with a bunch of other strangers, including a creepy lady who lived next door.

And AbercrombieofRohan was also there. She kept saying "But I hardly know Eomer!" Which was strange. Despite hardly knowing me, I had still managed to lure her into my house. And some guy was there begging me to check to see if my boiler was working properly.

Sweet. We are so the "rockingest" people ever!

Firefoot · 04-21-2006, 05:54 AM

Last night I had a dream that the Downs was having serious bandwidth issues, so they were really coming down on people with sigs more than three lines. So I'm thinking, wait, my sig is more than three lines, don't hurt me...

And a while ago (about a month, but I was out of town so I forgot about it) I had a dream coming straight from the "Assigned to Mordor" thread. I dreamed that on the trip I was on someone said route "root" and I wanted to say, "no it's route [as in rowt]. If you don't believe me, ask Fea."

Mithalwen · 04-21-2006, 06:09 AM

But that is just wrong.........

The Only Real Estel · 06-05-2006, 10:30 AM

I'd like to resurrect an old dream & have the famous Dr. Dream analyze it for er...Oddwen. And maybe me, just a little bit...

Diamond18 · 06-05-2006, 11:45 AM

I had an odd one last night...

I made a post in here about a dream that was about Werewolf. Someone with a screenname a lot like Encaitare (though it wasn't that exactly, and I'm not sure if it was supposed to even be Encaitare or what) posted a really short, somewhat rude comment right after. So I was a bit miffed, but then TORE posted saying how that was rather rude of her, so I felt better, and decided not to post anything in reply.

I wish I could remember all of TORE's post, because it went from saying "That was rather rude" to something about holding a sword that slew something or other and then you'd be able to walk a mile in my shoes. Or something. I remembered all the posts exactly when I woke up after the dream, but then I fell back asleep and the specifics got lost.

Oddwen, that's... interesting. I have never, nor do I ever plan on, working at a hospital. But a friend of mine who is an author did once put a character in her story that was named Sarah and was a nurse, and she was supposedly modelled after me.

Had a dream last night...I apparently was surfing a Canadian body-builder site, where Canadians would post pictures of their muscled selves, and I came upon a picture of Glirdan. He was sooooo skinny and soooooo pale, so I convinced him that that site wasn't the best place for him...and promptly put my picture up, and all the Downers were entranced by my muscled biceps (which I don't have).

Ha!! Yes!! That just officialy made my day!! But you didn't have to be so harsh about it!! Sheez!!

Thinlómien · 06-12-2006, 03:57 AM

Now that you're around, could you explain me this very weird old dream of mine I saw in February...

My phone said that the number where the SMS was from was just 30. Nothing else. I was left wondering how Ang knew my phone number and how had paavo got in so that no one had noticed.
