elaby: (Holmes and Watson - L&S hand grab)
[personal profile] elaby
So, the other night I had my very first Sherlock Holmes dream. I was very sad indeed to wake up and find out that it wasn't real. I dreamed there was another Russian Sherlock Holmes movie that I had missed, and when I watched it, oh boy was it wonderful.

I don't remember very much, but...


There were only two scenes I remember. Livanov and Solomin were both speaking English in this "movie," which I found very strange while dreaming, and they spoke with Russian accents. But the weirdness of it not being in Russian was immediately forgotten when Watson stepped up to Holmes and kissed him. It wasn't particularly passionate or desperate or anything like that, just tender, and kind of... feeling out whether it was okay. It obviously was, because they kept at it.

The other scene was equally short. Holmes had some sort of letter, and Watson was doing something with it - using Holmes's methods to discern who had written it, or something - and Holmes was so proud he got all teary-eyed. Watson was a little surprised, in a fond sort of way.

Adorable. All of it. I remembered it in the shower and went "OH MAN. That wasn't real?!"


This is mostly for my own information (though it may interest you too, [livejournal.com profile] coastal_spirit :3) because I keep forgetting where I put it on my computer. Genealogy going backward in time!

Francis [ElabyLastName], 9th generation, died in York, ME (I think) in 1706 and was born in England in about 1625.


William (father of Francis), 8th generation, born in Wyton Hall, Leigh-upon-Mendip, Somerset, England, and died Abt. 1630

Lawrence (father of William), 7th generation, born in West Newton, England, and died Abt. 1632.

John (father of Lawrence), 6th generation, born in West Newton, England, and died in 1613 - buried in the Churchyard of Aldborough.

Lawrence (father of John), 5th generation, born in West Newton, England, and died in 1583. He married Elizabeth Barnie.

William (father of Lawrence), 4th generation, born in West Newton, England, and died Abt. 1565.

Anthony (father of William), 3rd generation, living in 1500. Had a child in West Newton, father born in West Newton, so presumably lived in West Newton.

William (father of Anthony), 2nd generation, born in West Newton, Aldborough, Norfolk, England.

Thomas (father of William), 1st generation, born in Patrington, East (Riding of) Yorkshire, England and died in 1475 or 1457.

I've never had one as nice as that before XD It was really nice. Usually if I have "fictional characters doing things one would see in fanfic" dreams, it's about Snape or someone I don't particularly care much about.

Guh! OMG, possibly the best dream ever! Isn't it a bitch when you have to wake up from them though?

I never have Holmes dreams *sulk*

The closest I ever got was the dream where I got married to Clive Merrison...yeah. The only thing weirder than my concious mind is my unconcious mind.

This was the first time I've dreamed anything really good about characters I really like. Usually it's weird things about people I sort of like but don't have a vested interest in.

I think your dream sounds pretty darn interesting XD

I rarely dream about people I know, which is very odd. Most of my dreams are filled with complete strangers. What do you suppose that means? o_O

My dream is what comes from falling asleep listening to Sherlock Holmes. It was actually really nice. I was actually oddly disappointed when I awoke to discover I wasn't in fact married to him. Such a good husband lol.

"subconscious" movies

Oh, I love watching movies that don't exist in our plane of reality! And some of them are so vivid and memorable that I'm convinced there must be an astral plane I go to at night for these flicks.

Could be.

Could be, indeed :) And it wouldn't really be out of the realm of possibility for these guys, since they're really quite all over each other in the actual movies.

Dreams like that are the absolute best! I wish I had more of them ...

The Genealogy stuff is very interesting. Going to copy it and send it to Daddy. Thanks! :)

I thought Daddy might like it! If I ever get to England again, I'm so going to West Newton.

I loved that dream XD *cherishes it*
