Barrow-Down Dreams - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

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.

I had an eccentric BD dream. In it, in order for the EW to die, one ordo had to be sacrificed in the process. In a previous game, Durelin had been the ordo. She had not died, but turned into a unicorn. Now, Rikae the EW was to be killed and I was to be sacrificed. So, I kind of died and turned into a unicorn. However, I had a complaint: "I don't want to be the same as Durelin. I'd rather be a pegasus. Besides, Dury and I are both females, so we can't even reproduce, so there's absolutely no reason for us being both unicorns." The mysterious ModGod agreed and I was turned into a pegasus. Then I galloped away to the woods and to the night.

And no, I have no idea how my subconscious works. But I think it's brilliant at times.

I dreamed last night that Macalaure was flying to the Philippines to visit Lhuna. She intended to take him to "the store that's bigger than the island!" on the advice of a local friend of hers. What island and what store I don't know, but this was Lhuna's friend's advice. And I'm not sure how I came to know about Lhuna's plans for Mac's arrival (pick him up at the airport, take him shopping), but there it is...

That wasn't a dream... Can I have my cloak back?

In the dream I had last night, Hookbill wrote in the Downer that he would like to read The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling some day. Then Eönwë came to my place and wanted to use my brothers' computer in order to write to Hookbill on Facebook that he'd like to read it, also. Hookbill replied that he has a copy of the book, and Eönwë could borrow it if he wanted to. Then Eönwë left, and I wrote on Hookbill's wall that also I might like to borrow it, if he didn't mind.

Then I was suddenly out with Greenie and Lommy. It was dark, probably late autumn or early winter, and we were walking through Helsinki.
"We were once hanging out on Weathertop with some guy," began Lommy.
"Yeah, and then he just fell off the hill," said Greenie.
"And when we all went back to Weathertop later, he fell off again."
"He seemed to have serious problems with his balance, falling all the time. And besides it was dangerous to fall off Weathertop, it is so high."
"Then we started thinking... We didn't really want to say anything to him since it was a bit embarrassing... We thought he might have brain cancer."
"Oh," I said, and was silent for a while. "Well... Did he have brain cancer, then?"
"No," said Lommy casually, "he just had bad balance."

Then we entered some museum, and suddenly I wasn't walking between Lommy and Greenie anymore, but Hookbill and Kath. I don't remember all the things we talked about, but then we ended up speaking about my English skills.
"They don't quite match those of a native speaker, but it's just understandable," said Kath, while Hookbill refused to say anything and just rolled his eyes.

Kath · 07-11-2008, 08:43 AM

Agan! I wouldn't say any such thing about your English skills, I think they're fantastic. You, Lommy, Greenie, Volo ... all of you speak fantastic English, including RL in the case of Volo which I am sure is true for the rest of you as well.

Aganzir · 07-11-2008, 01:50 PM

Haha, thank you.

Though I'm too much of a perfectionist to be really content with my skills, and will probably always be.

Eönwë · 07-13-2008, 01:53 PM

I had a BD-ish dream last night. I can't really remember what happened, but I do remember that SpM had returned.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 07-14-2008, 01:22 PM

I've had a few Barrow-Downs related dreams recently... well since I got home from vacation... and they all had Hookbill in them... probably a side effect of reading too much Downer.

I had a dream that Lauri and I went to an Independence day celebration and Groin Redbeard was there, and we talked with him for a little bit and then I think we saw Brinniel and some other American Downers, but then out of nowhere came Hookbill, and I know he's not American. So I asked him why he was there, he promptly replyed "I can go wherever I want to go!" in a very snobby tone, and I thought that he was a bit weird... Anyway for our celebration he showed us a slideshow basically dedicated to Lauri because it was her birthday, I think that there were some P and As there as well...

I had another dream that me and some other BDers were at a place and I don't know where we were, but Lhuna was there and she turned into a werewolf, which is funny, because I don't play werewolf games, so I was confused... But anyway she was eating different Downers and I couldn't , stop her... But I think that Hookbill fell over, I don't know why but he did, but he fell down in what looked like a pew like you sit down on in church... But after that my dream got way scary, so I woke up...

Another dream I had was last night, again with Hookbill...
A convention for the Barrow-Downs was being put on and there were a bunch of BDers in one place that was sort of like a high school gym. But everyone was dressed up like pirates except for me and another person that had a Barrow-Downs t-shirt on, which I think was Gil-Galad, but I'm not sure... And I think that I was standing next to Eomer of the Rohirrim... But when the thing had finally started, Hookbill came on the stage looking very funny, but he was talking so he could introduce the Barrow-Wight. But the manner that he was talking in and the accent he had was very surprising. Because he had this strange American sounding accent and was talking about killing people and many different strange things... that is where that dream ended and another one started...
