Barrow-Down Dreams

[Oddwen]

I dreamed last night that Legate released a musical album in the 'States. I never got around to listening to it, because I was trying to read the horrible handwriting in the liner notes.

Awh, thanks. It writes all my scripts.


Speaking of writing, I had another Downer dream last night which was rather short, but interesting nonetheless. I was working at a publishing agency and a manuscript came in with Lommy's real name on it and I went to review it (and then immediately ask her afterwards why she never told anyone she was writing a book), but someone in an office right next to my desk snatched it and took it with them instead. They oddly left their door opened a bit and didn't bring down the blinds, so I watched to see why they just 'had' to review it, plus I was a bit angry.

They read for awhile with usual reaction, then they got to a point where they were screaming 'No!' and as if they were in pain or something and immediately threw it out their door. I went to go see why, and they still wouldn't let me read it, and then proceeded to lock the manuscript in a file cabinet.
When they were gone I ended up taking a crowbar (don't ask where it came from, like everything in dreamland, it popped up handily), and pried open the drawer and managed to start reading her writing. The other person from before was trying to get it out of my hands, but I ended up locking their door and proping the crowbar on the handle.

I forgot what Lommy's novel was about, but I didn't scream in pain or anything and sent it off to be published since it was rather lovely.

So, happy ending. I guess.

I had a dream Ka got a personal title. She picked Always Evil. Sorry.

Then I had another dream in which Brinn and I visited Oddwen. I was apparently on a trip to the US, and Brinn was accompanying me. We had thought Oddwen would take us around the town, but instead she insisted on staying at her home. She lived in a dark two-storey house with stairs that looked like they were about to collapse, and she also had a teenage sister and brother who lived there.
I noticed that someone had written The Plastic People of the Universe (a Czech rock band) on a wall, and asked Oddwen why it stood there.

"My sister listens to them. She has two of their albums," she replied.
"Ooh, do you think you could burn them for me?" I asked, enthusiastic, and explained how it was funny that a Downer (Legate) had first introduced them to me and now I should find some of their CDs at another Downer's place.
However, Oddwen's sister wouldn't have allowed us to burn them, but in the end we didn't tell her and did it anyway.

Then Brinn said our bus was about to leave and we had to go. I was sorry, for in the dream Diamond lived in the same town, and we wouldn't have time to see her.

This is probably exactly what would happen if anyone visited me. Except my house would probably be worth the stay, unlike your vision of it. But my brother isn't a teenager anymore.

My teenage sister does not approve of burning copies...and I would do it anyway. She doesn't like rock beyond the Beatles, though.

No, alas.

In closing, you Agan, bear close watching.

Oliphaunts_Rule (the sister) also demands her albums back.

This is what happens, children, if you put personal info on the internet...

Honestly though, I had no idea you have siblings. Maybe I can read thoughts then. Cool!

Agan and THE Ka - quite nice portraying of me. (Especially Agan .)

I had two BD dreams while I was away. In the first one, I was Victoria Beckham. I was talking with David Beckham and found out he had cheated on me. I got really angry, so he jumped out of the window. I thought it was a good thing, for he could not survive the long fall. I went to the window to see him fall. About halfaway down, he transfromed into Rune. (Honestly, I have no clue what's it with David Beckham transforming into 'downers. Besides, I only have dreamt of David Beckham twice in my life and both times he turned into a 'downer. Odd, eh?) And he was as lucky as to survive the fall, nothing happened to him. When he was on the ground, he met a fat girl who was dressed in a wedding dress. Actually, the girl looked a bit like Brinn, (except that she's not fat). And you don't need to be Freud to interpret this quite interestingly but never mind, it made me laugh.

Also, I had a rather complicated dream, but there were two rather funny parts in it. Firstly, I was on a cruiser ship on the Baltic Sea (on a ship that goes regularly between Helsinki and Stockholm) and found an ad of a b-class movie. To my amusement, I saw that Rune was in it. He was standing in some dark doorway; he was the villain of the movie. The second, quite unrelated, thing that amused me was a part where I, Greenie and Legate were sitting on a bench in the "yard" of my summer cottage. I asked how Legate's day had been and he showed me a drawing of his that demonstarted his breakfast. "Nice colours," I commented. (When I told this dream to Greenie she laughed at me and at the compliment. But really, I didn't say it in the dream because I couldn't think of anything else positive to say, but because the colouring was really beautifully done. He had captured the colours of the fruits very well.)

Oh yeah - I dreamed that I was having a conversation with Hookbill. The conversation wandered to memes* that we were posting on LJ, and I mistakenly pronounced it "mee-mee". I saw Hookbill's face darken with anger, and my hasty "No no! I meant "Meem"!" did nothing to assuage his furious uncloaking**.


*A meme, in this instance, is a quiz or test that is passed around via the internet.

**Uncloaking in the "unvieling of power" sense, not the "getting naked" sense, you gutter-minded people.
