It started with me inside Helm's Deep, while the Uruk-Hais were trying to break down the door. Aragorn & Theoden had their speech, but the Uruks broke in a little early, and were walking in, one at a time, while Theoden did is "now for wrath, now for ruin, and a red dawn!" speech. I got on horse back and rode out with them to kill Uruks. I killed many. I was really slicing them up, and not getting a scratch! So the Riders arrive and attack, and the Uruks run away into the Huorn forest. It's a victory, and while we're all sitting on the outskirts of the battlefield, I suggest that we go in and rescue any wounded Riders of Rohan, and kill any wounded Uruk-Hai. Aragorn thinks it's a dumb idea, but I do it anyway. Somehow it changes from looking for wounded men to looking through bookshelves for books that I feel are worth keeping (still on the battlefield).

The next night I dreamt that I was telling people about the dream. I don't know where I was, it looked like backstage of a movie set, but I am able to reference images of Helm's Deep to tell my story, and I had pictures of me & other people getting dressed up as LotR characters. In one pic, someone was gluing cotton balls all over their head & face to look like Gandalf. I could also actually see & walk among the Huorns, and they looked like cheeky cartoon palm trees. Even in the dream I knew they looked dinkier than they should've.
