My GLOM Dream

[alrick888]

This was a repeating dream I had a while ago where somebody would shout the word "GLOM" to me. I had it several times before I looked the word up. I thought it was a nonsense word but it actually means something in English:

glom
One entry found.

Main Entry: glom
Pronunciation: \ˈgläm\
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): glommed; glom·ming
Etymology: alteration of English dial. glaum to grab
Date: 1907

1 : take, steal
2 : seize, catch

— glom on to : to grab hold of : appropriate to oneself <glommed on to her ideas>

I don't know the word so it is kind of funny it ended up in my dream. Does anyone have any particular association with it? And is it also an existing word in another language?

Grand Lodge Of Maastricht......?

The way it was said was in a facetious way.

I myself was thinking it was more sort of a light-hearted admonition: "Get a hold of yourself, and seize the moment!"

I don’t know about a glom but strangely enough you’ve just reminded me about some odd words that that I heard in my slumber this morning…The words were Fas Faus.

I just googled them and came up with FAS :- Federation of American Scientists

Faus:- A faus is a (usually) fat annoying person that grunts a lot. In general, nobody likes fauses and will just stare at them when they're not thinking about beating them up. Historically, fauses were thought of in many cultures as shape shifters that somehow got stuck in the guise of a walrus/humanoid creature. Modern science, however has revealed that they are humans indeed, but just in an extremely annoying form.

Well that explains the faceless black humanoid figure which popped into the dream as well…:eek:

Either that or I’m an annoying fat grunty person that’s about to be beaten up by those American scientists…:D
