Seriously, Lommy, maybe you should stop playing WW for a while. Though it's true that the fear for your tortoise is understandable (while the six-legged thing isn't ) and I could maybe think of other origins for the witches part as well, this is still all too creepy.

Well, at least there was the Boromir and Faramir part...

But I would like to pose a question whether Nogrod is sure the outcome of his narrations may not result in lifelong traumas among the readers?

What?
I still can't understand how you can dream that?
Probably if I had a gramm of LSD I still wouldn't dream that...
The Downs seems to be an even worse drug then that

Even if there's nothing new to anyone who has read any other history-books than those designed for the first grades of the elementary school, I will be getting nicer and nicer... that's not only a promise but also a plan I had before the game began...

But yes Lommy, a weird dream indeed...

Are you sure you're not neglecting the Myth (that's the name of her tortoise) and that's just your bad conscience reminding you about it?

Mehehehe Noggie's narration for my death gave me nightmares.

No seriously. I have some weird fear of eyes, and when I got lynched I got stabbed in the eye with a fork. I about threw up.

And I kept waking up in the middle of the night after dreaming that I'd been attacked by all the other villagers and stuff. I get WAY too involved in that bloody game. I have had some other interesting ones throughout this last game due to lack of sleep and general craziness, but they actually have something to do with the game itself and people who are still alive, so I'll keep those amusements to myself.

I really don't know... I just have a very vivid imagination and odd subconscious, I guess.

The Myth sounds like The Might... Why not use his real name and just say Myytti? Anyway, I hope I haven't been neglecting him and you should be grateful I'm not someone who would take that kind of joke too seriously because I just had a vision of you telling a young mum she must be neglecting her child because she's having nightmares of something bad happening to him/her!

Actually I thought there could have been at least some connection, since there was that part about Faramir's glasses, and looking at Boro's avvie...

Or one may start to think about Mythalwen.

At last I can post this here, I have been waiting for this day for 3˝ Days.

I had a very scary dream during the RL night of Day2 (Noggie's mad game). I was lying on my back half-asleep thinking about something completely WW unrelated. Suddenly I saw an image of a werewolf attacking me from above, the image was very clear, but it lasted only a few seconds. My whole body jerked into every possible directions at the same time and the image disappeared as soon as it appeared.

Never before has my body jerked like that. And never before was I as frightened while not even asleep.

Last night I dreamed that the phantom and one of his lackeys, I think it may have been Gurthang, were hired at my place of work. We were all three in the break room, admiring some new appliances, when I opened the fridge and saw gallons of barbeque sauce all on the side and the bottom drawer of the inside of it...I turned around to see phantom and Gurth running away and the dream ended with me chasing them through the production area screaming "Dude! I know it was you! Come back and clean this up!"

During the rare times I slept this last WW game (because really, I hardly did thanks to juggling many things at once), I seemed to be constantly dreaming about it.

Nothing specific, but I remember different scenarios during the Days kept playing through my head. Of course when I actually got up, it all went quite differently. I think there were times I actually got confused between what was really happening and what was just part of my dreamworld. Never has a WW game troubled my sleep so much.
