Barrow-Down Dreams - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well, it's definitely worth attention. Maybe it has some sort of, you know, prophetic quality to it, especially considering the way you put it. I mean, you could never know. Although on second thought maybe not. Prophecies are generally introduced. In our case, I would expect the Barrow-Wight Himself, or maybe even Professor Tolkien to appear before you at the beginning, standing amidst seven stones and with seven stars in his right hand, with a blue-glowing sword coming from his mouth; saying: "I am The Hobbit and The HoME, the beginning and the end. And what thou seest, write on a thread and post unto the seven forums which are at the Barrow-Downs; unto the Books, unto the Novices and Newcomers, unto the Movies; unto the Fun and Games; unto the Translations; and unto the RPGs; and unto the Announcements."

If you haven't seen anything like this, then I guess it's okay. Otherwise, I won't like to see some events that will have to take place (like losing one third of the threads and one third of the members and similar). But anyway, logically in the end the Three-Headed Wolf you saw as well as the Pseudoprofessor (who will appear soon after the Wolf deceive us), will be banned and cast into Mount Doom...

Alatar...when exactly did you have this dream? It's quite disturbing....

Bêthberry · 06-13-2007, 07:04 PM

Be werrry, werry scared!

This sounds like some kind of prophetic utterance for Mac's new WW game. Or alatar has taken to channelling Mac in his dreams.

If al isn't playing in the game, I'd be very cautious about contact between him and the other members playing it.

And I note in passing that we don't have a warg or WW icon yet.

I think you mean Legate's game...

er....

Bêthberry · 06-13-2007, 09:03 PM

lol!

Er, I mean, *gasp* The horror, the horror, it's spreading!!

No way I'm getting involved in that game, no sirree, running about as far away from it as the Downs allows. Even if it is a way cool RPGish type game and I am a great fan of CoH.

Sorry, Legate (temporarily) of Amon Rûdh. This is just too freaky. *glares suspiciously at alatar*

Don't know the exact time, but it was sometime between the beginning of the year and a few weeks ago.

Don't want to get too specific, as, of course, I have a completely logical explanation for the said dream, and that being that it is just complete and utter nonsense filtered through sleep deprivation-induced emotions. I cannot reason otherwise.

Shhh! You don't know who's watching!

That being said, I've always thought it interesting the images that appear in dreams (i.e. what prompts truly random things?), and how, upon waking, we interpret these midnight menageries like internal Rorschach movies.

I would not recommend glaring this way - or any way - otherwise.

I think you just need a >hug<

alatar · 06-14-2007, 08:59 AM

I think you mean "a nap." That, and something to combat the paranoia.

Oh, and I accept that as definitive proof. I'm convinced. Are you saying that, somewhere in my walk in la la land, I mentioned that it were a new member? Are you saying that if I somehow referred to a somewhat older member, you would feel more suspect? How very interesting...

alatar begins wondering what dark secrets Rikae is hiding.
