| Oh, yes, those *lovely* nightmares that leave us certain we’re late for something, have done something wrong, or have totally embarrassed ourselves…poor Denethor. | |

| Ah, poor guy. It looks as if he was ever troubled in mind and spirit--which is usually the case with overly ambitious Men. I felt quite sorry for him here. Author Reply: I'm glad you felt sorry for him - for something drove the man - I know not if it was ambition... or despair, even early on in life. | |

| Poor Denethor! And he will probably continue having that dream for the rest of his life (I know that I still have test anxiety dreams ten years after I finished grad school.) But this is an indication of how difficult (impossible?) it is to please his father. Well done! Author Reply: Isn't that the truth, Branwyn! I hate when I have a report due or a meeting that I am not sure of, or the baby is sick, or whatever. Life seems to deprive us of sleep when most we need it! | |

| Poor Denethor. Even his most trivial dreams are bad ones! I can sympathise because I always have a similar dream the night before an important meeting. I just thought of what must have been the worst job in the 'free' part of Middle Earth: Denethor's jester! Author Reply: A jester would have been welcome, I think. But I cannot see how any could look across the Pelennor and laugh... | |

| I've had those sorts of dreams and for a few seconds they seem so very real. Author Reply: I hate those kind. I try to lie back in bed and remake the dream so that it comes out with a better ending. Poor Denethor! Thanks for reading and most especially for responding! | |

| Oh, how well anxiety can play such tricks on us! Nicely realistic, even the cold, cold stone floor. Author Reply: I could just feel my toes cramping as I wrote it. LOL Thanks, Larner, for your kind comments and for reading these! | |

| This is a great drabble. You do a wonderful job of linking past and present by showing how Denethor's present personality is still affected by past worry and pain. I really like it. Author Reply: With the war, no king, and a father as the last bastion of hope for the free world and no family, except said father, that we ever hear of - all I can presume is that Denethor had it rough as a kid. Glad the scene worked for you. And thank you so much for your comments! | |

| Chilling. I am sure that Denethor had more and more of those sorts of disorienting dreams and experiences the more he relied on the palantir. Author Reply: The lad was definitly under a lot of strain, being the Steward's son and expected to be 'perfect' - so it didn't surprise me to see that stress turned into nightmares. And yes, the Palantir would probably cause a LOT more! Thanks ever so much for reading and especially for your comment! | |
