Nice dream!

And I hope we're coming. And unfortunately I don't meet Kath when she comes here since the place she goes to is so very far away from Helsinki...

And err... *is afraid of the chat skrewl* Speaking of Kath, I had a dream involving her some time ago but unfortunately can't rememeber anything of it.

edit: ooh, this is the 666th reply!

*sigh* This is a strange one, but very briefly in a dream I found myself poking Boromor88's cheek (for what seemed over five minutes) without getting much of a reaction out of him at all. Then again, I wasn't really reacting to it either, oddly... It was all very roboting cheek-poking event, and I'm so bemused by it there was little left to do but share. : )

I had a strange dream the other night, and not surprisingly it was about werewolf. (Sort of.) I dreamed the the BD was a physical place- people still posted as a forum, but the forums were distinct places. It was all very apocalyptic future-esque, all black and gold but with a dark red sky. There were two forums solely for werewolf- our werewolf and this very elite group of werewolf players, but their werewolf wasa different version. They lived in this tower, and we lived below it on a river. (It was a yucky river- the kind that runs through the slums.) The elite werewolf players harassed us constantly. They had these bombs that they would drop on us that would connect to form velociraptors that would attack us. So I had a plan to stop that. They kept all their bombs in a container on the side of their tower. SPM, Nogrod, and I took a flying boat (it looked like a small version of a Chinese house boat, but it had an engine under it that allowed to fly- if you've ever seen 5th Element, it was kind of like the flying boat that the Chinese food vendor has at the beginning.) We were going to cut a hole in the container, and drop all the bombs into the river, where they would drown or disolve.
Unfortunately, when I tried to open the container, it was like it was side scenary in a video game- I clicked on it (with my mouse) but I had no effect. SPM asked what was wrong, and I was trying to explain to him why I couldn't do anything, when the elite werewolf players discovered us. They fired their lazers at us, but fortunately they hit their own container and ripped a hole in it. All of the bombs sank into the river and disolved. Even the few that were activated only turned into velociraptors which couldn't swim (they have small arms) and drowned anyways.
For some reason, the mod of the elite forum talked with the BW and had transfered to that forum. They showed me where all of the bombs were, and how each player there earned them (through victories in their games.) I decided that I had to earn as many bombs as I could so I could take out the elite tower from the inside. But before I could play, I had to fill out an application. I kept trying to point the players in the elite tower (none of whom had names that I recognized) to look at our forum and our games, because I was convinced they'd like it better, but the mod of that forum (someone who had no name but was very powerful, put a stop to that. Then my phone rang and I woke up.

Weird, huh?

Roa, I felt scared when I read the first few sentences. I thought "Why is Roa copying my dream?". 619. And there was a river going through the school grounds too.

Luckily no bombing. And I took a flying bus there...

I don't believe I read your dream before, but I dare say our views of two seperate Werewolf forums are a great deal different.

If I did read it, though, it no doubt had some influence on my own.

The low class forum of werewolf was more of a post-apocalypitc city slum. Not really a school yard. And the elite forum was a black tower, with a wide section around the top (like that tower in Chigago, only sinister) where the elite players lived. And they weren't sitting around voting.....

So, after cruelly leaving Nogrod out of my dream last time, I had a dream about him last night. I really struggled to recall it too - I had to sit in my room, chanting "Nogrod, Nogrod" over to myself like a mantra until bits of it returned.

Nogrod was going somewhere, so we all sent him cards to wish him well. I'm not sure exactly where he was going. Anyway, we all send cards, but lots of people wrote them in Quenya because it was similar to Finnish (rather than English, which he speaks perfectly... bizarre dream people!). I particularly remember Lalwende's card - she had tried to write it in Quenya, but she didn't know it well enough. It ended up half in Quenya, half in English, which made me lol when I read it.

Last night, I dreamt about Oddwen. It's lucky I remembered this dream - I was thinking about Oddy's Sims game in the morning, which suddenly sparked the memory of this dream.

There was a large mountain, fairly forested, with a lot of people going about on it. There were a few beaten paths here and there. I escorted Oddy over the mountain by these paths so she could get home. Also, every so often we would stumble across a small clear box of fairy cakes and cookies and pastries and other tasty treats, just lying on the ground! Obviously we took them.

After I had got Oddy to the other side, I gave her some boxes of sweets and went on my way back over the mountain with an armful of sweet boxes.

A psychoanalysis is necessary, I feel. I think the dream represents my excitement about the Sims game. I escorted Oddwen to make sure no harm came to her, and I gave her sweets at payment for having such a good idea.

I shall not go into the Freudian interpretation. After all, it's not hard: A tall structure like a mountain could only represent one thing!

My dreams:
Feanor 9
kath 5
formendacil 5
Lhuna 4
littlemanpoet 4
Encaitare 4
Eomer of the rohirrim 4
the phantom 3
mormegil 3
Barrow Wight 2
orominuialwen 2
nilp 2

lalwende 2

piosenniel 1
Shelob 1
mithalwen 1
sleepy ranger 1
Guinevere 1
Meneltarmacil 1
Durelin 1
Lalaith 1
Thinlomien 1
Nogrod 1

TGWBS: 38 different people in dreams. 75 dream-people. 60 total dreams. Average 1.25 people per dream.

Oddwen:
TGWBS - 6
EomerotR - 5
Diamond18 - 4
Nilp - 3
the phantom - 3
Mithalwen - 3
Fea - 3
Thinlomien - 3
Hookbill - 3
Gurthang - 2
Bethberry - 2
SPM - 2

Menel - 2
Lalwende - 2
Davem - 2
TorEstel - 2
Glirdan - 2
Formy - 2
malkatoj - 1
Da BW - 1
Zali of Willowbottom - 1
Elf-warrior - 1
Durelin - 1
Nogrod - 1
Oliphaunts_rule - 1
Estelyn - 1
TomBrady12 - 1

Oddwen: 28 different people in dreams. 62 dream-people. 31 total dreams. Average 2 people per dream.

I've just realised I'm doing this a bit too often... I suppose I'll do it once every two pages from now on. In my defence, it is ridiculously addictive.

I suppose Lommy also deserves a mention:

Lommy's dreams:
Kath - 4
Anguirel - 4
mithalwen - 3
mormegil - 3
LMP - 3
Lhunardawen - 3
Sleepy Ranger - 2
Dancing Spawn of Ungoliant - 2
Glirdan - 2
Roa - 2
Spm - 2
Rune - 2
tgwbs - 2
Macalaure - 2
Boro88 - 2
Caranlondien - 1
Wilwarin - 1
Jenny - 1
menel - 1
eomer - 1
Fea - 1
the phantom - 1
volo - 1
durelin - 1
Lalwende - 1
Fordim - 1
Estelyn Telcontar - 1
Paavo - 1

Lommy: 28 different people in dreams. 51 dream-people. 27 total dreams. Average 1.89 people per dream. 1 new person dreamt of every 0.96 dreams.
Oddwen: 28 different people in dreams. 62 dream-people. 31 total dreams. Average 2 people per dream. 1 new person dreamt of every 1.11 dreans
TGWBS: 38 different people in dreams. 75 dream-people. 60 total dreams. Average 1.25 people per dream. 1 new person dreamt of every 1.58 dreams.

So, I seem to have the most dreams, and have dreamt about the most people overall. However, Lommy and Oddy have more populous dreams than I do, fitting about 2 Downers into each dream. Lommy is the dark horse, and the only one of us to introduce more than one new downer to her subconscious per dream!

One explanation for my low rate of dreaming of new Downers (1 per 1.58) may be that I have dreamt of so many people, it's hard to find new people to dream of. However, many notable downers seem to not be on my list, so perhaps I'm just mentally conservative.

If these trends continue, I will have the most dreams, Oddy will have the most populous dreams, and Lommy will have dreamt of the most people. But that is just a guess.

In conclusion, I am searching for a life, honest.
