Barrow-Down Dreams

[Boromir88]

Wow, a happily ending dream that doesn't see me being torn apart by rabid nationalistic zoo animals. I like your dreams Lommy.

As far as what Freud would say...clearly the stray dog being named Cleveland means you miss Ohio, and you want to stop back here again, so I can take you to the Cleveland Natural History Museum. Fabulous place that it is.

P.S. received my powercord, and letter. Glad you're all having much fun on your There and Back again journey.

Yesterday I had a dream about Hurt & Heal, featuring Mac, Tuor, and Pitchwife (and others I cannot recall). Perhaps you won't find this dream entertaining, but it's definitely one of my favorites.

We were playing with some sort of new Hurt & Heal system set forth by Mormegil. The rule was, whichever category we picked (Ainu, Monsters, Lonely Mt Dwarves, etc), we had to include ALL characters that qualified. Given that fact, we obviously had to be more specific- eg rather than "Elves", we would have to go with "Elves of Doriath".

Well, someone (I believe it was Mac) suggested that the new thread be "Men of Brethil", and this idea was well received by everyone. I, on the other hand, was dead set against it, as I had my own ideas I wished to put forward, and so I tried to convince everyone that "Men of Brethil" was a bad idea.

(We weren't having this talk on the Downs, but rather on some sort of voice-chat thingy on the computer.)

My primary argument was that there were simply too many men of Brethil, and that our list would be far too lengthy. Naturally this point was contested and Tuor asked me to start naming them to see if my point was true. I started rattling them off- "Turin, Niniel, Dorlas, Brandir, Ebor, Manthor, Avranc, Hardang, Handir, Hareth, Haleth, Haldad, Haldan..."

I was doing well, but I realized there were only a dozen or so left, and that I'd have to look up half of them to be able to name them, and even then it certainly would not be enough to push the total up to an amount that would discourage my fellow Downers from playing the game. In short, I was definitely on the losing end of the argument.

So I did what any decent chap would do in this situation- I started making up names.

Realizing that there were so many beginning with "H-A-L", I figured I could come up with a score or so of real-sounding false names, and if I rattled them off quickly and with confidence perhaps they would be accepted. So, I proceeded, mixing in false names with a couple of real ones- "Halbir, Haldar, Halbad, Halbeth, Halden..." (I was doing splendidly!) "...Halran, Haldorn, Halmir, Halbuguz, Haldir..." (Crap! Did I really just suggest "Halbuguz"? I hope no one caught that.) "...Haldin, Halthan, Halrad-"

"Wait a minute!" Pitch interjected. "Halbuguz?"

Crap. Busted.

And then I woke up. And frankly, upon waking I was still rather upset with myself for my slip-up. "Yeesh, that was stupid. Halbuguz? I mean, really, you're supposed to be smarter than that, Phantom! *grumble grumble* Man, I'm an idiot. *eye roll* Seriously, Halbuguz?"

I had a dream the other night involving Folwren had an electric tea kettle. The dream involved her saying that she didn't know anything about electric tea kettles until Aganzir informed her of them. Folwren said that she got hers from eBay, but, unfortunately, it was only 140 volts, and didn't heat water up as fast as its British counterpart.

The strange thing is, I don't even know if Folwren drinks tea...

That isn't really out of ordinary, you know!

Because I like all kind of things that protrude from one's body (ie. noses)? I think they're aesthetic. However I don't think I touched anybody's hip bones (at least on purpose) during the trip! So I can't really tell you what I thought of Ka's or Kath's.

It's definitely easier to make tea with an electric kettle!

I had a couple of short dreams during the last month. It's likely I actually had more, but I can't remember anything else.

I had a dream I had bought a Moomin book to Fea but forgot to give it to her when I met her and found it in my backpack a week or two later. I was sorry I hadn't given her anything, but when I woke up I realised that wasn't quite the case.

Then I had a dream we Finns visited Shasta's mother who was a rather interesting person. I couldn't for the life in me remember Shasta's name and called him by Gwath's name. That was very weird of my subconscious because I never thought they resemble each other particularly much.

In the last dream I remember, I found out Inziladun was in fact Bill Clinton.

It is indeed! I only wish I owned one...

I don't think I look like him! And if I'd been acting like him, my wife would probably not be as serene about it as Hilary was.

No I don't think so either! Apparently you were supposed to be Bill Clinton when he was younger. I wondered why you walked around boldly without any bodyguards.

I'll take his charisma, but I don't want his looks.

I wish I could rep you for that.

I recently had a dream that a poor black woman had appeared at the phantom's doorstep and told him she was expecting his child. The phantom had to apologise to all his 'downer friends that he couldn't be around any longer because he would have to concentrate on taking care of his new family. He was especially sorry to quit his correspondance with Greenie and Wilwa.

PS. Boro you're my favourite dream-interpretator but you have to admit Ohio isn't the most interesting of places!
