A Strong Wind and Rain on the Roof

1. Wind and Water in the House

I am in a house together with someone else, possibly my lady partner. Then there is someone at the door. It is dark and already late. I go open the door. The living room is slightly deeper, more below, so I have to take a step up towards the hallway.

I open the door. A strong gust of wind comes against me. With the door open, there is an unstoppable and almost unmanagable continuous flow of wind entering and being in the house.

I have to go out so I can close the door and meet the person. It is a man of middle age. But with the door closed behind it, because the wind was really too much, I had to struggle, I cannot enter anymore. I suppose the pressure of the wind is so much that I can't pull open the door. So I look for other ways.

And then it starts to rain. There's a lot of water in the night. I find spaces where I could enter, but none of them direct and they are all dangerous. So I keep looking. All of the creases into the house are difficult to enter with the rain. Everything is slippery and I would lose control if I let myself slip through it, and fall once I'm inside, and hurt myself. And what about the guest if I do?

So I climb up the roof and there are spaces there too, where I could slip in and enter, but again, it is too slippery, I don't want to risk it. I keep looking and looking, but there is no safe way to enter the house again. The only way in is to risk losing my control and hurt myself. I don't want to do that.

So the dream ends with me keeping looking out for a whole in the roof, not finding any, while I hurry and am in haste, frustrated. I woke after this dream.

2. The Ancient Egyptian Immigrant

I am in the States in an apartment, one of the higher floors. Big space. There is fellow sitting across me. I don't know how he entered,but I start a conversation with him, because he looks interesting. First of all he is wearing a cap that looks Egyptian, coloured red. He has an outlandish skin colour and in my feeling he is an offspring of the slave trade in America. Therefore he is African, and I see in him a teacher of Voodoo, so he might have a real connection with Africa too.

When I interrogate him, he stays calm and polite. It is not clear why he is here. Maybe on the run?

When I ask him, he says his name is Pa-at-ka-nan, or something of the sort. The name looks like the name of the Finnish girl that takes the rune course (Vepi). Something like Paak and two other syllables? It has meaning, but he didn't tell me what. And it does not sound Egyptian, but it does not sound anything else either. He makes it clear that he comes from Ancient Egyptian times. I get the feeling he is an alien. He says he is from the first (or ninth?) century of Egyptian history. I guess he has been around like an alien immigrant in Egypt. I reply that he must have known Djoser and the some of the other early pharaoh's if that is true; because I am surprised that he goes that far back. He nods and says, it is Jaser. He pronounces the name slightly different than me. The Dj is much softer and there is clearly an A not an O.

He goes on to tell me about history, I forgot the exact details.

The dream seemed important, especially the name. In fact it seemed to be a residue of my late night conversation online with Dabe on knighthood yesterday.
