Dream interpretation

This is a dream journal. The intention behind it is to also give interpretations on the recorded dreams. In my experience, much of the dream content is prophetic and can be linked to events following the night of dreaming.
Throughout the year 2013 I will keep to the discipline of recording my dreams every morning and interpreting them every evening. That way, people may start to get a feel of how dream symbolism works.

Manneke

1. The Number of All Numbers


The room is dark, not that big, square, on my left is a door that lead to a room we were in before to have a discussion of some kind. Everything in this room is made of wood. A heavy wooden table is in the middle of the room. My father is there. He has the answer and smacks a slip of paper on the table. On it, a phone number is written. He says that he will contact Mr. Tobback to see that whatever was caused will be prevented from happening. Apparently, my father has a key number which he can ring in order to contact all the members of press at the same time. I wish I had that number and am a little jealous.
(I can't remember what the issue was about, but it must have been discussed in the other room, and involved other people, one of which was a girl.)


2. The Girl that Hid the Baby


I am standing outside, next to a complex of buildings. It is dark outsidee. There are a lot of people and it seems as if they are taking a break. Some of them are smoking. They are mostly youngsters. I don't know anyone of them. They all seem bigger than me. A certain girl catches my eye all of a sudden. She is the only radiating, lighted, person about.
At that moment, three or four other people find me. They were looking for me. We have to go back inside. They are all familiar faces. My mom and dad, maybe my brothers. I start to follow, but want to say something to that girl first. I know her. And she seems to remember me.
She has got blond hair, is not so tall. Her arms are naked. My family goes through the crowd, and I head to the girl for a moment. I ask her: "what's your name again?" She says: "Janneke." (But it is possible I changed it into Janneke; she may have actually said "Manneke.") And I remember. She goes my way. I slap her on the but and hit the naked flesh, which startles me, but I don't show it.


Inside we all sit at one and the same table. The girl has specifically chosen a place at my table, but everyone else around it knows each other. This is a difficult situation for me, because I want to talk to her, but don't want to do it in front of the others.
There are more tables and this looks like some sort of restaurant, but much more basic. It looks like this is a camp of sorts. Some people are still outside. Many are inside now. There are other rooms, too.
Then, the girl shows her little girl. She has a baby. The girl itself is rather little dressed at this moment. She wears something stretching, but really short, around her bum. The baby is really still young. And it feels awkward that she shows it only now, because it feels as if she has deceived me.


The dream continues. I go to one of the adjacent rooms. Other stuff happens. Girl still there. But I can't remember what exactly all of it was. The spank was the most memorable part, that and the fact that she had a baby about which she hadn't said anything before.)

  1. Interpretation:

    That person that presented herself as Janneke/Manneke looked like someone I know with the name Janneke. She is Dutch and quite easy-going. I also met her in a situation which was camp-like. On the other hand, Manneke also refers to a girl, but as a misspelling of Hanneke, someone I tried to hit on. But 'manneke' also means 'little man' and is the root of the word mannequin. It might refer to a stray cat I've lately been feeding, because Anle called her 'manneke' last time, because it's a tomcat.

    The baby or child represents something I didn't reckon with. Someone else said I should check what gender the cat is, because if it's a girl, then it is better to sterilize her. (There was a small fear in the dream.)

    The first dream may refer to me posting my dreams on a blog. The fact that my father is going to inform the press, means going public after all. Moving from the first room, which I dind't describe, to the second, may symbolize the shift from one stage of the project to another. Once the dream blog is launched, I can't go back.
