Hilde answered while the shrink scribbled.

"I zinks dat you are having de zecond toughts about zis never-never land meeting. Zhere are wimmen still in your mind you should be meeting, yes. You vill not rest in your dreams until you meet dem. Zere is also much to be pondered about zis bear fixation. Zat land you mizzed is svarming with dem."

I had a Barrowdowns dream a while ago, but couldn't think of the right words to descibe it then. I must warn you that my dreams (when I remember them) are quite... well, you'll see.

So it starts with just a chessboard sitting infront of Rune and Kath who are both on some rather tendy red ottomens (which were really neat. I wish I could find some and/or afford them.) Anyway, the view pans out and of all places they apparently were playing chess in Wal-Mart next to the sports section... where Eomer, Wilwa, Gil-Galad, and various others (it's rather blurry now who, exactly) were playing a lighthearted game of volleyball.

Bethberry and Esty were kicking back an aisle over (patio section), sipping on frozen drinks, giggling to one another with their brightly colored flip-flops and gargantuan sunglasses on.

As dreams usually include the dreamer somewhere, of course I was somewhere between the chess game and being pegged on the head by the volley ball. Curiously, I was strapped to a parachete harness which had been snagged on the net-pole. Everybody was laughing. Not at me, persay, but at how happy they were to be in Wal-Mart playing volleyball ... even Morm who rode in on a skateboard as an employee (somehow) while coming to tell everyone about a discount on something random like toliet plungers or something.

All of our coversation, anyway, was about cutting me out of the harness, which Rune refused with a grin. Eomer found this very silly apparently and snorted which was when I woke up.

I bet the drinks had those little paper umbrellas, too, eh?

Very bad habit that.

Oh you bet! I tried to keep the details down for... the downs, but I remember the colors. Your drink was orange, and umbrella was that brilliant aqua color straight out of the seventies, and Esty's drink was lime green with a magenta umbrella.

Yes... Dream-Eomer should seek professionals! I have no evidence now that the real Eomer of the Rohirrim snorts.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Gladly, I don't.

Lhuna, maybe it was. Maybe you are a true Seer and we are destined to meet at that very spot.

Don't say that. I might have to eat myself on a Full Moon.

Shortly:
Me at the top of Orthanc in a pub with some anonymous Barrow Downers listening to a terrible cover band "Borrim Hunters". Then Gandalf coming to cut peoples heads off, because his boss, an orc, ordered him to do that.

If you have stranger dreams, then something is wrong...
