Sweet! I was in someone's dream!

I was lucky enough to have a dream about the downs last night, since it's been awhile. I dunno if this was Nyquil-induced effect (I've had bronchitis for the last week and a half), but it was kindof...interesting.

I drift into some town that first looks for the most part normal, until I somehow end up in the business/old part of town. I'm trying to find a payphone to call a ride, but whenever I look for one, there isn't one to be found. So, finally I end up meeting first Hookbill, but he's in a hurry to his office at the downer and can't tell me exactly where the sole existing pay phone is in town. So, I walk further in town and I meet Child, who is operating a boarding house. I ask about the infamous payphone, and all I end up hearing about is how much I should rent a room, just for a few nights. I end up paying for a room, and then walk out into the street and bump into Gil, who's running with a bunch of things in a bag. I ask about the payphone and all I am told is to be quiet and I didn't see anything that was in the bag, so he runs off. I end up just going to find the payphone myself, and end up in a much older part of the town where I meet Rune, who's standing on a street corner selling cotton candy and a bunch of other things, but he's wearing a police suit and looking for someone. I ask if he at least, knew where the payphone was and he gives me a look like i'm blind or something and points behind him at a payphone. Then he sells me some candy, a pen and paintbrushes. Then Gil appears around the corner and Rune runs after him as I'm calling someone to pick me up.

Yes, I know, rather long and yawn-inducing. Though, I'm rather curious what Gil had exactly...

Last night I had a very odd dream...

I was on some weird island with this huge mountain in the middle, but the mountain had a cliff that circles around the island. In front of this cliff was a beach that spanned all around the island. At some point in the cliff face was a Barrow in which all the Dowenrs were living and having a party of some sort. I was on the beach at the other side of the island where Eomer was telling me about some defencive system that he'd helped set up, namely Rune was at the top with cave wall that could be collapsed to send rocks tumbling down on invaders.

I looked out to sea and caught a glimpse of a black shape moving across it. Suddenly, Rune was running down the cliff (some how) and shouting 'their coming!' then he encouraged us to run. I looked again and saw that thousands of Orcs were coming from over the sea.

Naturally, I ran. We turned a corner in the cliff and ran down the beach, I looked back to see that the Orcs were coming up behind us. So Eomer said, 'I'll hold them off' to which Rune replied, 'there are too many' but Eomer went anyway. He seemed to vanish in the mass of Orcs. 'Oh dear,' said I.

Fea appeared next and asked us what the trouble was. Rune explained and she sighed and said 'not again!' and ran with us towards the Barrow. We suddenly saw all the other Downers congregated for no reason and began to shout 'run away! Run away!' so they did. Gil-Gallad then said that he knew someone who looked like him and so could confuse the Orcs. He dashed off randomly and the rest of us ran towards the Barrow.

Once we got there the gate was shut and The Barrow Wight was desperately shouting, 'Open the Gates!' over and over. They eventually did and we began to file into the Barrow, but the Orcs were almost on us until Gil returned with his twin and started dancing. The orcs then started chasing him. Thinlómien then said something about getting 'reinforcements' and ran off. For some reason, I didn't go into the Barrow but wandered after the Orcs who were chasing Gil. But doing that only made them chase me. Fortunately, before they could catch me, Thinlómien returned with an army of Penguins who began to fight the Orcs.

Then I woke up...

I don't know whether I should admire the penguins' loyalty and braveness (bravity?) or be infuriated of them being used in military purposes.

Last night I had a dream that SPM was directing a play in some finnish theatre. Noggie bought tickets for me, my sis and himself. We never a ctually got there in the dream, I just remember Nogrod complaining it's stupid that we of all the people going to see it don't know anyone else there, since we're not very close to SPM and that he's the only one we can talk to. (The other people in the audience were mostly SPM's friends and family.) I comferted him by saying that maybe Rune could come to Finland to see it too, and we could chat with him.

I had also another dream, or then it was the same dream, but anyway, I had a dream that I was seeing a school psychiatrist and she asked me about social relationships. All I managed to say was: "I know TGWBS and Mac from BD."

I had a dream that it was autumn and I wanted to arrange a live ww/mafioso party just before Christmas. I was planning to send invitations to some 'downers (I can't remember them all, but at least to Volo, Durelin, Anguirel, Rune, Lalwendë and Lhuna). The invitation cards were made or white paper and they had a picture of Lordi (the Finnish Eurovision winner from last year) with a hat of a christams elf. Nogrod (in whose place the party was to be held) was very sceptic about the idea. "No one will come to Finland just to drink coffee, eat gingerbread cakes and play some werewolf", he warned me. "Think about Durelin, for example. She lives in the other side of the Atlantic. If you want to meet her, you should both go to London and meet there." Nevertheless, I wanted to arrange the party. I posted all the invitation cards, and the weirdest thing in it all was that I post a little Danish grammar with each of them... The dream ended before the actual party started or I was able to find out who were coming. Weird.

This is the fourth night in a row!

I had three short BD-related dreams last night.

1) I was in school and I talked with a friend and a friend of hers I did not know. My friend had to leave and I was left there in the corridor with her friend. "Have you ever been to the Barrow-Downs?" I asked him. "Yes, sometimes, my screen name is the guy who be short", he replied casually. I was a bit sceptic about it: "I think you're lying. I know him and I know he doesn't live in Finland, doesn't look like you and I doubt you'd have managed to get that much reputation points or posts." He then admitted he had been lying and said thast he had made around hundred posts a few years ago with the name thefirestarguy.

2) Nogrod told me that he had invited LMP via PM to Finland and he had agreed. He also said that they had spoken on the phone and his phone bill was around 300 euros. "It's very expensive to call abroad", he told me. I was curious about the phone call: "How was his voice? Did he have a horrible yankee accent?" "He had a slightly nasal voice", Noggie replied, "and he spoke very quietly. And he did have a quite american accent, I'm afraid."

3) I was in school and received an sms from Nogrod. It said: "SPM has been lynched. He was a wolf."

When I woke up, I had one unread sms. And you can guess from who it was and what did it say...
