Lord of the rings and dreams of terror and death

In lord of the rings the battle of middle earth is close to beginning. The men of middle earth are forming their armies preparing for the final attack by sauron. A scene that stood out to me is when legolis was asked about aid from the elves. He responded by saying that the elves have aleady fought thier battle the first time sauron came to power. It was interesting to me because in the second movie the elves come to the aid of men at helmes deep. I really think that the elves picking up their arms again would make for a great part of the book and look forward to see what happens next. In dreams of terror and death I especially enjoyed the first assigned story, beyond the wall of sleep. At first it made me wonder if someone can live, or feel they'rer living in a dream world a commit those crimes that joe slater commited in the story. And then finding out that he was actually a being from another planet made me think that the story would make an excellent movie.
