And I really didn't treat her well, I ran away from her and the other girls when I heard a Disney song that reminded me of an inside joke and left her to translate my last words which were explanation of the joke - a sligthly rude nickname a 7-year-old boy once devised for a friend of mine.

Vraiment un rêve très intéressant, Lommy. Mais où est la tortue à huit pattes maintenant?

Eight-legged tortoise? Why would it be anywhere?

I, too, am rather confused by the obscure turtle reference. Is it poetic? Or symbolic? Beware the figurative eight-legged dream-turtle?

Or, what if Nerwen meant "eight-foot [long] turtle" rather than "eight-footed turtle." That might be a Disney reference of some kind.....?

I don't know why Lommy never listens to my advise

Yep. See post #980. (But it's a tortoise, not a turtle.)

Oh...that is fantastically creepy.

I was about to reply Nerwen in French but then I realised I would have to use the past tense of subjunctive and decided it was not worth the pain...

Maybe because it's bad.

And a night or two ago I dreamed that I and Agan were going to Copenhagen to see Rune next summer. We wanted to bring him something Finnish but we had no idea what. Then we decided we'd bring him a dead seal and a dead dolphin and we'd make him and his friends eat the meat raw and say that in Finland you're considered a loser if you don't do so. We also planned to make up an excuse that would allow us not to eat it...

Last night I dreamed I was playing a video game that was similar to Sierra's "The Hobbit" - I got to the level with the dragon, and it turned out to be Lalwende.

She was a rather friendly dragon, offering advise on how to play the game, but it was hard trying to avoid her nonetheless.

The way to get out of the level was to climb up these really tall ladders & ropes, sometimes switching from the two at dangerous heights. Diamond18 kept giving me advice such as "Ooo, you don't want to fall from such a great height! Ooo, don't miss your transition, you'll fall splat! If I were you, I wouldn't miss this rope! Jump! Jump!"

It is a good plan the only fault is that I do not really care if finnish people consider me a looser.

Also I would have been more inclined to belive the raw seal thing if you had been from Greenland.
