Well, well, someone's been having exciting dreams. And you've never even played Werewolf - at least not that I've seen. Are you sure you would not indulge in it? That might be the cure to your persistent werewolf dreams.

But then again, you might actually like having them.

Mysterious brother, eh? If he's a Downer, you can choose between Form and Eomer. If he's RL, well, apart from Nilp, you've four options.

But we really had nothing special planned, but didn't want you to rage at us for keeping you expectant, so we contrived to have the alarm go off just in time.

I've had two Hookbill dreams recently. In the first, he was also a first year going to the same Uni as me. Alas, this is not the case, or much nerdiness and fun would have ensued. In the other, I was on his facebook looking at the map of countries he'd been to. There was a LOT of countries shaded in, but what was oddest was their location. For example Hookbill had been to most of Central America - Nicaragua, Honduras, etc. - but bypassed the USA and Canada. He's been to all the Caucasus countries and the Asian former-USSR countries, but managed not to visit much of Europe. Bizarre man...

During Day 2 of Legate's WW game, I dreamt that Rikae changed her vote to me. Which was kinda upsetting.

By far the most interesting dream I've had for a while follows. A group of Downers had decided to have a werewolf game. However, we'd all congregated in real life for it, and we had it in a caravan!

I came in late, after the game had already started, in the middle of Night. The wolves, Brinniel and Mac, had separate quarters, and welcomed me to the game. They showed me to the innocent quarters - but then they tried to jump in after me to kill some innocents. I shut the door on them.

I can't remember much else. Diamond18 emerged as an innocent at some point, and Rikae was shown to be the last wolf, but that's all I know...

I recall having a dream a few days back about reputations:

I had posted something really weird and pointless (I think it was a list or something), and for some odd reason received several reputations for it. And even after all those reps, I still wasn't on top of the rep list because some fictional member named bil-bal was. He was a new member with only two posts, and I couldn't figure out why he was so popular. So, I went to read his posts only to discover that they were extremely long (like 3-4 pages on Word long). I attempted to read the posts, but it was all nonsense to me (I'm not even sure it was completely Tolkien related). Apparently, everyone who read his posts repped him because they were so awed by the length, and even though what he wrote was nonsense, it was very intelligent nonsense...

So, if someone named bil-bal ever registers onto the BD, we all better watch out.

I'd been meaning to mention this...

I dreamt recently that I was at work during the school year, though the library I work in had apparently undergone rennovation. It was a story or two taller and had several spare staircases. The top floor was more like a lounge. In any case, I wasn't quite to work, really. I was in my dorm, running a bit late. I knew I was going to be a minute or two late because I needed to grab food and a cup of coffee on my way. And my phone rang.

"Hey, Fea."

"..."

"It's me, [the phantom]."

"How'd you get my number?" Ever logical, yours truly. Worried about the details.

And he explained something about how he'd done something incredibly clever and he'd had my cell number for a while, but as he hadn't needed to use it, he didn't bother mentioning it, and whatever.

"Okay. So you need it now?"

"I'm in town. I thought we might meet up and have coffee or something."

"I'm on my way to work."

"I know. I was going to stop by."

"Right. I've got to go. I'm going to be late and I still need food and coffee."

And so I promptly forgot he'd called and went to work. A short time later, as I was shelving or something (though it seemed more interesting in the dream than it ever does for real), I remembered he was coming.

So I made a point to head up to the top floor of the library where I found him studying with a pretty girl who happened to be his girlfriend.

"Hey, Fea."

"Hi. Sorry, I forgot you were here."

"No problem. Just watching the game." And I realize there's a television broadcasting some sort of sport.

"You know I can't stay long, right? I mean, I'm at work."

"Yeah, that's fine."

I think he may have mentioned Boromir88.

It was certainly interesting...

It was over a week ago that I had a weird dream. In the dream I was walking the streets of Kulosaari (a part of Helsinki in which there are lots of little villas and where I lived as a child) with some RL-friend. Suddenly I saw Lalaith. She was a tall, athletic blonde woman, around 30 years old. Her hair was tied back and she was wearing khaki shorts and a yellow top. She was rollerskating with sticks. (The sort of sticks you use when you're skiing or nordic walking etc.) She moved very quickly. She was rollerskating, because she couldn't walk, because her leg was broken. And she rollerskated very quickly and I tried to follow her, but I was too slow. I cursed myself, because I was slower than someone, whose leg was broken. And Lalaith kept laughing. In a friendly way, though.

Another vaguely werewolf one, I think, though I'm not sure as it's so hazy. Diamond was in my house and we had just received our werewolf roles. Once again, I think this was a case of real-life werewolf. We both got a little panicky and started locking windows and such. Also, my house was oddly dillapidated...

In another one, I was in a large building, kinda of like a hall, with pillars to hold the roof up. It was made of blue stone and was quite dark and depressing. I met Mac, who was looking quite distraught, because, as he told me, Rikae was ill. So we went to visit Rikae, who was lying in bed in a room. But she wasn't too bad - she could talk and all - so I wandered off to find LMP, who berated me for taking so long to reply to his PM, and something about Farael too... Either he was annoyed that I replied to Farael before him, or he was annoyed with me so he said he would send PMs only to Farael thenceforth...

Amazing, there are still a couple of other dreams, but they're now void of all details except names, so I wont mention them.
