: I dreamed I saw the rest of The Hobbit trilogy. It may have been the second part, or both together, I don't remember.

I was reading reviews on the BDs, and Legate had a very long review and claimed he was "spitting mad", but Rikae said she was thrilled, especially with the part about the Silmarils at the end.

I remember Thranduil being a huge disappointment. There wasn't a party in sight, and all he really did was lean way over a cliff and not fall over.

Apparently the prisoner's cells in Mirkwood were flooding, so Thrandy and Legolas went down to do some transferring, and they walk into the largest one and are like "It's time to move you...your majesty." And then there's this stupid zoom-in on...Tauriel. BAM.

Then at the end of the Battle of Five Armies, Thorin has been stung by Shelob and is slowly being poisoned. The poison will turn him evil, so he begs Bilbo to kill him. I'm starting to cry, because I know what's coming, and Kili is getting a pillow for his Uncle's head and Fili is handing him a fresh-baked loaf of his favorite bread. Such good nephews. I have to leave the theater for a moment at this time, and I beg them to pause it, but they don't.

By the time I get back, Fili and Kili are dead, they're taking Thorin away in the ambulance, and Robert Baratheon and the Kings of Summer have come to turn the tides of the battle.

Then at the end Gandalf invents eyeglasses. There are twelve Silmarils and they are given out by some sort of magical gumball machine. Then Gandalf turns to the screen and the rest of the movie turns into an advertisement for laser eye surgery, and how all twelve Silmarils ended up in the eye of someone who didn't really see very well.

Your subconscious sounds optimistic.

Well! If this is not the most random turn of events!

I'll need to remember to refer to this dream in a year, when/if I watch the 2nd part of the movie.

Would someone please explain to me why I was so intent on hiding Phantom's flowery pink teapot last night?

That is where he keeps his Spanish dubloons.

And possibly something else that rhymes with that, but that's another story entirely.

Raccoons?

I had a dream last night in which I laced a pizza with weed and fed it to Oddwen, Eomer, and Hookbill. I was trying to convince them that hanging out with me is a good idea. All the while we were trying to hide the pizza from the principle of my high school.

It seems whenever BDers make appearances in my dreams I am always trying to get them drunk or high. So be warned anyone headed to my neck of the woods.

Hilde Bracegirdle · 04-22-2013, 05:13 PM

I had a particularly fitful rest last night, no doubt from a late night cuppa joe. Finally got to sleep an hour before I was due to roll out of bed, still I woke up again prior to my alarm and realized I had been dreaming that I had seriously furry feet. Positively luxuriantly so. And very dark as well. Well, despite my alter ego here on the downs, that was alarm enough to get the old feet out bed this morning! Wouldn't wish that sort of dream on anyone! Brghk!

Hilde that is the stuff of nightmares...

That's a crime in and of itself.
I would have generally felt my subconscious had utterly betrayed me by that point, by not pushing him over the cliff.

I dreamed that the NewFinland Moot crew was preparing to set off for a month-long road trip. We were trying to get everything packed, but chaos reigned: Squatter, dressed in a tight-fitting red jacket, was dealing out souvenir chocolates and trying to translate their names into Finnish; Hookbill managed to hang Lommy's old teddy bear from a lamp without anyone noticing (though when we did, it was not very hard to guess who was behind it); and Oddwen revealed that she was actually from Norway and confused us further by speaking Norwegian. Also, I was worried that I'd forget my pocket handkerchief.

I know! I remember thinking already in the dream that it would be a bit too much to forget your handkerchief on a 'Downs trip.
