Shooting Star

2 November 2012

1. Shooting Star

Square in a building, I watch the sky. College building. Main entrance to my left. Night. I look at the stars. There are two in particular I see. One of them falls. This must be a meteorite. Falls down right to where I am. I keep watching it. Just in the last moment, I step aside to my left and the rock falls next to me in the sand. Sand is like in the desert, but more grey, because of the dark. I kneel and want to take it. Someone stands beside me, too, and sees everything happening. But I think it is too hot to touch, so I leave it. Instead, I cover it with sand, so that it can cool. And maybe also to hide it, so no-one else sees it. I stand there, I want to collect the rock later. 

2. Walk in the Woods

Fields and meadows, strange village, rather small. We are in Limburg, I am alone, rather. I find myself on an asphalted street, I meet scouts people, still young people. They come along or I join them. The road is blocked, yet we drive through it anyway. Car. This must be the forbidden parts of the village.

Village changes again into a more rural area. I meet young people again. Walking this time. There is one girl in particular among them that I like and I get closer to her. Some time later I put my arm around her, I like it, it is exactly what she wants. After we leave the fields behind. We cross a road, and beyond that is a forest. But dark and big. Hollow paths. Looks kind of threatening, I go in anyway, instead of taking the road, which would have been easier. When we enter the forest I think it is just the two of us.

There's lots of people there, all kind of rough. Bit scary, heavy metal people. Seems like they're doing a festival in the woods. I continue anyway, take her with me. Crossroads, I see someone ahead with heads holding in his hand and maybe an axe. This is not a safe place. I turn right. The walls of the path are much higher now. Pathway slopes up. More difficult. I don't want to continue anymore, but want to go straight back to the road. It is a bit late for that now. So I climb the wall, which is very difficult. Almost vertical. I put my hands in the dirt and plunge my feet in the dirt and in that way I have some hold on to the wall to climb up, but it is really hard.

3. Chinese Name

I ask my father about our Chinese names. Seems that cousin Pa has one as well. Close up, light. Seems like my father was there when our grandfather determined the names.

4. Sail Away

Out of town, but in a park of some kind. Museum about Vikings, shop as well, have been in the shop. At some point, I want to leave, and there is a pond and a river or canal stretching away from it. The pond is still within the walls or domain of the museum, the canal is not, is public. It is difficult to get about, but I get a small one eventually. I also consider buying something in the shop to help sailing, maybe sails or oars. I leave without. After I leave the pond and enter the canal, everything goes rather smooth. Town reminds me of Roskilde. Halfway through I reconsider and think I want to buy that thing to help me sail anyway. So I suddenly leave the water, haul the boat onto the side, where there is a walkway. The river banks are quite high. I manage anyway. I hope no-one will steal the boat while I'm gone. I rush back to the shop. Running.

When I get to the shop, the thing I want is sold out. I knew it was the only left. So I buy something else, because anything can help. It is two small things, maybe boosters of some kind. It is for the boat at least. I hold it in my hands.

But there is another shop, bigger, further down, I go there, too. I see a girl I know. She comes and sits with me, so I lay my arm around her waist and maybe press her towards me.
