Barrow-Down Dreams

[wilwarin538]

I just thought of this, there was a thread a little like this except it was different.

I was curious if any one has ever had a Barrow-Downs dream. Envolving the Barrow-Downs, the Barrow Wight or any BD member. What happened in the dream?

I mentioned this in another thread, but Ill say it again. I had a dream that Feanor of the Peredhil was a dog and she was rummaging through my garbage bins.

How about you?

[mormegil]

Well I had a dream just last night (or was it two nights ago) about the Isle of Werewolf game. Being the seer I found it comical but nothing was actually reveled in this dream.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Should I be flattered, or worried?

I don't suppose you would know what breed I am, would you? In keeping with the theme of mormegil's post, it would be hilarious if you dreamt I was a wolfhound.

I can't remember ever dreaming about 'Downers, but I did once dream that Gimli was actually a girl in disguise (very like in form and appearance, and all that). That was just plain weird.

[Firefoot]

There was a thread like this a little while ago: Your LotR Dream. It wasn't so specific to "Barrow-downs dreams," but I know people have posted those on that thread (I have). If you have time, there are definitely some things in there worth a read. Some of those dreams are awfully funny.

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

Maybe it isn't necessarily realted to the Barrowdowns, but it's still pretty cool... I dreamt that:

I was in a store looking at a poster when it suddenly started moving. The horses hooves started galloping and so forth, when all of a sudden a tenth nazgul came in the picture. Except he didn't necessarily look like a nazgul, because he was sort of sillier, I don't really know how to describe it. It was like he didn't take his job as a wraith of Sauron very seriously. Well, then the names of all the nazgul starting popping up over their heads in little speech bubbles; Witch-king of Angmar etc. Until it came to the tenth nazgul and his bubble said Skippy the Nazgul.

Well, I was throughly impressed with that dream and remians to this day, my very favorite.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Absolutely. I once had a dream that HerenIstarion came to dinner at my house. The only thing I remember about it was that I got very drunk and he kept laughing at me.

What does it all mean?

[The Perky Ent]

Woah. I just had the weirdest dream! I was sitting at my computer on the downs, when The Saucepan Man banged me over the head with his saucepan, and dragged me off. When I awoke (in the dream. I'm still asleep, mind you) I was tied to the Eifel tower. After screaming for about a minute, Saucepan man came back, and climbed up the tower like King Kong. He tried to swipe me with his pan, but he missed, I grabbed it, and he fell to his death. Inside the pan was a button, I pressed it, and I turned into the Saucepan Man! But the pan must have been evil, because I started closing and deleting all the threads. Go figure

It seems to me Sauce's busy every night...

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

I've had quite a few Werewolf dreams lately but last night I dreamt that I suddenly got ten text messages from different Downers. The first one was from Squatter whose "real" name spun on the phone's screen with Beren87's avatar. That name was Latent MacSomething and he told me to ignore a post that Fordim had made (not sure why). The next message would have been from Fea but I didn't have time to read it before my alarm clock went off.

[Glirdan]

I had a wierd dream the other night which I'm not going into detail about o much. I was at the mall with my friends sitting on a bench when out of nowhere, the phantom glides by!!! I said outloud (in my dream of course) "Oh my gosh!! It's the phantom!!!" And my friends gave me a wierd look which plainly said "What are you talking about?" and when I saw that look, I said "Uhhhh, never mind that. Now what were we doing?" and that's when that part ended.

[Thinlómien]

I had my first WW dream last night. I dreamed that I got minus reputaion points for being too much absent and not voting. Mithalwen and a renowned downer called Banished Buck gave me those minus points and that BB was even saying I broke the rules by playing half-elven half-hobbit character... It's quite obvious where all this came from...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Last night I had a rather disturbing dream. It involved Mormagill (looking like his avatar) and Nilp who had just set fire to one of the Barrows in the Barrow Downs. Everyone was running around and wondering whom it was that had just set the Downs on fire. Then, all of a sudden, three Nazgûl came onto the Downs and began to chase Mormagill and Nilp over the hills, they had aparently set fire to Barad-dur also.
What was stranger was the fact that some Wights were blaming me for starting the fire. I believe my alibi was that I was having tea with Tom Bombadill at the time. Very strange.

[Oddwen]

I had a dream a week or so ago, about getting reps for things done in real life.

I dreamed I tried to get out my torch and melt some glass for lightbulbs (?), but my Mom tried to help and we ended up burning our hands and a wall.

When I logged onto the downs (still in the dream), I had four or five reps for the incident. These I remember -

A well-placed quote ~

Angry. -mith

I wish people wouldn't stare.

[the guy who be short]

Alas for school and poor memory, so that I was unable to post this until many hours - over 40 - after 'twas dreamt.

The was a Fea, and verily did she come to England. I was a little surprised to suddenly find out that she was staying with me, but it was fine, so I went to pick her up.

On the way back to my house, Fea got off our bus because she was ill. For some reason, instead of going with her to help, I stayed on the bus and told her to get the next one, leaving her puking in a new country.

When I got home, I realised she wasn't coming back. I pulled out a piece of paper and emailed her - I don't know how I expected this to help. I took a look at the phone number and groaned - tricky as she was, she hadn't given me her real number. I should have guessed by the "square root of three" in it.

This is where the dream becomes hazy. We reunited somehow, and something happened with her passport and possibly nurses. Then we went to tourist attractions together

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I had a dream about that Barrowdowns Map that the Barrow-wight created (it's in the announcements sub-forum).

Lots of people were, for some reason, living in Scotland, and all I could do was wonder why I hadn't visited them or they me.

Mithalwen was somewhere on the west coast; Bethberry was in Perth or thereabouts. There was also a new user called 3girls, or was that in another dream...no, definitely on the map. I was so happy that I'd soon get to meet all sorts of Barrowdowners; then I woke up.

No comment on Eomer's subconscience.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

TGWBS, you left me? What an awful host.

[Farael]

Or so I dreamt of last night. It was a really odd dream as it involved some LoTR, some Werewolf and some oddities that do not belong to either Tolkien's work nor this lovely forum.

I was the King, but oddly enough my "palace" was... my bedroom... (why can't I have cool dreams? would have been too hard to dream of Gondor?) and I was worried because I could not find that darned wolf!! I knew it was out there, I knew it was someone from my city... but I was the King, the people were looking at me for guidance and I had no idea!! it was so stressing!! I remember arguing with some people I have never met (so I guess it could have been you all). Then I woke up.

I wonder if this dream meant that I'm somewhat of a bossy yet useless human being.... (King that does not what to do) or maybe it means that... I should NOT get my name down for the next werewolf game to be started.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Last night I dreamt that the Downs was being bought out by a big corporate company and they refused to let anyone talk about the books! They claimed that the films were better for making money.
So, The Saucepan Man, Lalwendë, davem, Eomer and Myself protested outside their headquarters. I think we threw Pidgins at their windows. And Eomer released a peacock into their offices and ran away.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I had a quick dream where I returned to my room from events with non-Downers only to find Mithalwen sitting at my computer waiting for me.

"We can't start WWJ without you."

Also present were JennyHallu, Kath, and there was definately a male Downer, but I don't know who it was.

Could be Boro, Nogrod, Morm, Sleepy or Gil....

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

For Werewolf, I'd be begging the police to crush those protestors.

Inaccurate dreaming, Hookbill...

[Diamond18]

Last night I dreamed that everyone negetive repped me and I went from Elrond's Council to gray box territory to black.

That's what one gets when one paints right before bed.

Inaccurate dreaming, Hookbill...

Wouldst thou triad Werewolf for the books?

Fine, I'll get my own Peacock!

Besides, I dreamt about the Books being removed in favour of the Films, nothing to do with W-W.
I’m sure you’d all be out in force for that.

It's already happened - or did you think the concentration on Werewolf games was a coincidence?!

[JennyHallu]

I've actually shown up in a dream...wow...

Getting a warm fuzzy (kind of)

Anyway, always wondered...what do I look like, Fea?

Actually, I would probably be one of those advising the big corporate company, rather than one of the protestors ...

Eomer! Get the Peacock!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Okay, this was my dream. Formendacil, in Gondorian soldier-king attire, and Farael, in wizard attire, were in some grassy field with me, wearing my infamous red clouds in black cloak. We were there for a duel.

I threw some shurikens at them. They jumped to dodge my attack, but as soon as their feet touched the ground, two clones of me appeared from underground, grabbed the two Downers by the ankles, and then dragged them to the ground, leaving only their heads sticking up.

Needless to say, I won.

Yes... but which ONE of you?

I don't think it was a fair fight... three on two- and with the element of surprise.

Still, I like mine costume!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Well, go scold my subconscious, will you?

The two clones were not real, biotechnology-made clones, but shadow clones made from my energy. If you hit them they'll be dispelled immediately.

[the guy who be short]

Well... bear with me here. This is a long dream involving werewolves and Kathwin. It's all rather confusing.

First off, I was a zombie in a secret society for zombies at my school. A teacher discovered this and trooped in with two policemen armed with guns to put an end to our zombism.

I forget a bit and my memory jumps straight to a standoff between us. I was holding my teacher hostage but the policemen had their guns aimed straight at me.

My teacher said "Now it's just like those games where you have to destroy the zombies faster than they can infect people." I decided it was worth being shot to turn her into a zombie, so I bit her. The police shot me in the stomach several times, but apparently this doesn't hurt zombies.

Then one of my friends, along with a scary, crazy looking distant family member of mine, rushed up the stairs to our zombie base, where all this was happening, and presumably took care of the policemen. I remember being elated that my friend had come to rescue me, but this quickly faded when he aimed a gun at my forehead, called me the rudest word in the English language (sounds rather like French for story) and shot me in the head.

Apparently, even this is not enough to kill zombies, and I was shoved into a cupboard. However, I believe being shot in the head may have turned me into a werewolf, because after being put in the cupboard, zombie was I no longer.

I then somehow teleported to some rich girl's house. Her father was some sort of captain in the navy or army, but he went missing every 28 days, most mysteriously. I pointed out to the girl that she was a werewolf, and we became werewolf lovers.

But suddenly the scary relative jumped into the house! He too was a werewolf! I tried to protect my lover from him, but he was far bigger than me. The hall, where all this took place, was full of mirrors. So I shot all the mirrors, and this somehow killed the scary relative. But it also harmed my lover - I think she may have died.

Anyway, the lover somehow disappeared and was replaced by my dad. We were on a ship off the coast of India, being chased by 3 diplomats - one was probably from China, for he was represented by a Korean friend. We shook off 2 of the men, and I shot the Korean friend in the ship's engine. Unfortunately, this caused the ship to stop working and it almost sunk, though luckily it reached Mumbai before this could happen, and I jumped off, losing my dad.

I was now alone and in the poorest part of my hometown. I went to hide, for I was still being chased, either for being a werewolf or for supporting democracy in Nepal (which the EU, US and India are all against, explaining the diplomats). So I went to hide in a house with a friendly woman.

After being in the house for a few minutes I saw a policewoman outside the kitchen window. She saw me, and I ducked quickly. But she came right up to the window. I tried to hide by going right up to the window in question and hiding behind the sink, but suddenly Kath was behind me, and saying "You're in her line of sight! You're in her line of sight!"

Too late, I ran, but the police stormed the house. I ran up the stairs into an abandoned room, broke through the window and jumped onto the roof of an opposite house.

Then it's all a blur. The next thing I remember is standing in court - but whether it was because of the secret zombie movement, being a werewolf, sinking a ship or supporting democracy, I don't know.



Right. Analyse that.

[JennyHallu]

Whoa.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Well, I am on exam leave at the moment, and I thought that a great use of my time would be to go to sleep in the middle of the day. I did this and had a rather odd dream.

I dreamt that I was watching the Lord of the Rings films and the Hobbits suddenly went to Tom Bombadill's house. There was the whole tale telling and dancing from Tom and eventually the Hobbits went to the Barrow Downs. When the Barrow Wight caught Frodo I saw the inside of the Barrow, and it was filled with saucepans!

I remember turning to my brother (with whom I was dream watching it with), and said "I know what that is a reference to!

Note to self: No more cheese!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Ah... so with Wizard Werewolf finished, I can now post the most amusing 'Downs dream I've yet had and not worry about influencing the game.

I dozed quietly in the village. In my sleep, I was turned into a Seer. Immediately, without even waking, I dreamt of Roa, spotting her pure evil. I woke up and lynched her without difficulty given that Gurthang knew I was his Seer and Nilp knew as well, and so I had two definitive innocents on my side.

What they didn't know is that with Roa's death, I turned into a werewolf. Hiding behind the trust of the Good Wizard, I ruthlessly slaughtered the entire village with the help of Eomer who I sacrificed last. Nobody ever suspected a thing.

Analyze that.

[Boromir88]

Diamond, ya them chats and message boards can get pretty nasty. Perhaps, you were looking into the future:

Basically, the wonderful place that is the 'Downs was getting infected by the spawn of evil I've witnessed destroying other messageboards -- horrible, vile people and mods that do nothing about it.

You should post this on TP's Future thread.

[the guy who be short]

Recently I have dreamt about Fea, Encai and LMP.

Firstly, I dreamt that I was cycling with somebody or other down a hill. Fea was on the pavement with her three (for some reason) brothers and a small grizzly dog downhill from us and coming up towards us. We decided for some reason to swerve around Fea by going on the road - perhaps because she had a dog (playing in a puddle) and I'm afraid of them. Perhaps I was avoiding her for some reason.

Then I dreamt of Encai in the same night. She was in England and wandering about, so I said she could come and stay with me. Unfortunately, I didn't plan this with my parents. She declined, but I checked out my garage to see if she could stay there anyway just in case she changed her mind.

Then I dreamt of Fea again. We were cycling together and we followed some Asian (in the British sense) guy to a shop selling Indian/Pakistani goods. I can't remember much else, except that she knew the guy and went off somewhere with him to discuss something or maybe get some rare ingredient. Meanwhile, I was left alone with my bike in the shop.

I have a vague recollection of Fea being my cycling partner in the first dream, but this doesn't make sense, as it was definitely her that we swerved around. Perhaps this is Pro-active interference.

I don't remember my LMP dream, but I think he was dressed as the Anakronist.

[Thinlómien]

It seems that Barrow-Downs dreams haunt me...

I had a dream that I, Nogrod and my little sister were going to an Iittala glass factory and Nogrod suggested we should take spawn with us. I said my sister wouldn't like it, since then we would only speak of BD.

Then, in another dream, Roa wanted to write a book about the Dueling Wizards WW. Because she wanted to set in a fantasy world of her own, she wanted to change some names and changed my name to Victoria. I was so angry with her, because in the dream I hated the name.

Weird.

I don't know what I can analyse from the first one, but the second dream points to that I unconsciously hold a grudge to Roa and her evil teammates from winning the game...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I had an odd dream last night...

I dreamt that I got a rep that simply said "Yar ha ha! Yo ho ho!" so I went around trying to find out who had given he this odd rep. It turned out to be from a user simply called "Pirate".

[The Saucepan Man]

I had a weird dream last night too. I can't remember much of it. All I can recall is that there was some recording device attached to the Downs so that people could record messages and speak to each other. For some reason, Formendacil had left his running unintentionally and then inadvertently sent the message to me. The message solely comprised "um's" and "ah's" and the occasional creak of a chair ...

Dr Dream ...?
