Dream One -- Legolas, Compensated Endorser
I was standing in the forest of Lórien, though I couldn't really tell what day it was - it's always dark in there, you know - but I wasn't thinking about that anyway. For some bizarre reason, Legolas was standing there, (even though he's from Mirkwood) but he didn't do anything.
I had the weird feeling that someone was reading my mind, and I thought about it. Suddenly I heard Galadriel's voice...
"I underestimated you."
Maybe I looked surprised, because Legolas asked me what had happened.
"I heard a voice in my head..."
So Legolas made some sort of facial expression akin to a smile and said, "You are protected by the elves of Lórien."
This was one of my stupid dreams. I asked, "What does that mean?"
"Grace, health, and 10% OFF ALL PETCO DOG FOOD!"
The Petco bit was when everything faded to black, and I heard it in an annoying commercial narrator-guy voice. The insanity of it all was magnified by the fact that the rest of the sentence had been spoken really calm-like. You had to be there. Honestly.
That's where I woke up. And guess what? There was a Petco commercial on TV. Probably didn't help that I was there a few hours before this happened.
...
What have I learned from this?
1. Lorien is pretty. I felt really peaceful when I was 'there.'
2. I don't think Legolas looked quite like 'movie Legolas' do. Yes, DO. I was reading the Silmarillion right before I fell asleep, and all of the elves/Ainur I pictured had nice faces. Not square. NOT square. Luckily, I can say this from a somewhat neutral point of view, since all of my other friends are obsessed with Legolas/Orlando Bloom. It's horrible. So Legolas looked a little bit different. I think. Anyway, my Silmarillion ref. brings me to my next point...
3. Reading the Silmarillion gives you odd dreams. Okay, not ODD, but unusual in the sense that I don't normally have dreams of one particular subject... normally it's just a mix of things I thought of during the day.
I'd like to thank Maggie (yes, THE Maggie) for telling me I should put this up on Fanfiction.net. I'm scared to death of writing my own LOTR fiction, so my brain did the work for me. pats head Thank you!
"Grace, health, and 10% OFF ALL PETCO DOG FOOD!" -- Legolas said quite a bit more than that, some about elvish medicine, I think, but I don't remember it. Short-term memory.
