That's about all I remember from it.
I'd go for such trip with such people any day!
Now I only wonder what was in Rune's rucksack...


Finduilas's dreams are affecting mine. The night after Finduilas had her trivia match dream, I had mine.

I went to the petrol/gas station that is near my dad's place. It was late night and I was going to buy something, I don't recall what. When I entered the station I noticed that my trivia match team (Macalaure, Folwren and Gil-Galad) were sitting on the floor of the station and they had playing cards in their hands. They were trying to solve the current trivia question. There were two people of the other team in the station as well. I'm not sure who they were but I think they were Gwathagor and Finduilas. I joined my team mates and we were gloating to the other team as there was four of us present and of the other team there was just people.
Then we got bored of sitting on the petrol station floor and went to another place. It was a room with wooden walls. In the middle of the room there was a huge trampoline-like construction made of a big light blue sheet spread over wooden poles. Mac, Folwren and Gil climbed on it and started jumping. I was a bit sceptic as I didn't trust the sheet to be strong enough to be stood on, not to mention jumping. "Come on, it's perfectly safe", Mac told me. "Yes, it is, come on", Folwren echoed. Gil wasn't concentrating on us at all, just jumping up and down. "Okay then", I agreed hesitantly and climbed on the "trampoline". I started jumping. "See, it's perfectly safe. Just like we said", Mac said. For a few seconds we all four were jumping merrily, but then the sheet cracked/tore below me and I fell to the floor.

Now I know a psychologist would make an interesting analysis of this and of how I see our team but I don't even want to know...

I guess this is technically a Barrow-Downs dream, it's just a very lame one.

I dreamed "Oddwen" was the name of a very famous brand of pants.

I had a vague dream including Legate and Gil-Galad. It had something to do with a lake and a white boat, but I can't recall what happened in the dream. I think they two were just rowing around the lake or something like that. In the same dream a RL friend of mine posted in his LJ a black and white video clip of young J.R.R. Tolkien cruising on a yacht with some Hollywood actress and I was quite shocked and posted the same video clip on my livejournal so that all my 'downer lj-friends culd see it. Diamond commented something very naughty about it, but I can't remember what.

At least we did not get drowned.

I had a Downish dream too, today, but unfortunately, I don't remember anything from it. I just know that there were some Downers featuring, but I can't remember the story. If there was any.

Somehow I can see Mac doing that. *remembers the rock-climbing episode*

Nah. Rocks appear way safer to me than trampolines. (does not fancy heights)


Sorry for making you hurt yourself, Lommy.

Two dreams last night - or two separate subplots or something.

First I dreamed that one of my old co-workers at BK knew Durelin - I was so surprised that I fell over.

Then I dreamed that TorE was coming to my town for a concert - I was so surprised that I fell over.

Last night I had a rather long and weird dream, can't remember most of it, but I do remember that at one point, I was standing in a group of people trying on a light blue satin dress which was either a prom or bridesmaid dress, but I think I was trying it on for a play. I did that once in reality, wore a modified prom-or-bridesmaid dress in a Shakespeare play. Anyway, it was a bit too small and I couldn't get it fastened even though I was wearing a corset underneath. Supposedly I had worn this dress before and it fit alright. So I said something like, "I think I got too fat for this."

Rune, who was sitting nearby, spoke up, "Yes, you're quite fat." Then before I could say anything in reply he added, "You deliberately baited me into saying that to start a fight."

I replied, "Well, I'm not 18 anymore."

There was more after that but there were no Barrow Downers. I woke up and went back to sleep and in my next dream, there was a werewolf who had lost her daughter, and she howled mournfully, but that's all I remember.

I had a dream that there was a ww-game where some villagers were granted "magical skills" along with giving out the roles. Nogrod demanded that the people with the magical skills should come out and swear not to use them during the game. Mac seconded this idea. First, Legate came out and promised not to use his magic skills. Then, Volo wrote a long post in which he promised not to use his skills, but he added the word "maybe" in a very tiny font at the end of the post. Finally, I posted and declared I would not make such a ridiculous promise.

Now, what does that tell about the latest ww-game?

Valesse has just left Hobbiton.
I had a dream last night which kind of struck me as odd. I was coasting through the downs and noticed that Celuien of all people had plans to visit where I'm going to school... I suggested that I give the Ribbiter a tour of my campus --Volo offered to join us-- and instantly I was in the airport waiting for her. Long story short I gave the tour pointing out mundane instalations and the university center turned into a very, very large Wal-Mart like ...store. There were computers sitting around to direct people like one might use in a library to locate books... we were going to check out the downs, but I woke up (after Volo got lost on the way to the bathrooms) but I woke up before we ever reached the machines.

I'm pretty sure if I did dream that far it would cycle back through the previous events.
