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.

Three Cats and a Bellow

1. Three Cats

I was in a house, other people too, rather dark. Living room, maybe my parental home. Three cats want my attention, they are quite big. Walk between my legs. I give them attention and start preparing food for them. I think that is when the door bell rings, or something else happens, so that I have to leave them for a moment. But my father is there, rather vague and in the background [I'm starting to think that this figure is my guide]. And I leave him the care of the cats.
So I go away for a moment. I think it was here, in this dream that I opened the door, or it may be in another dream too. A girl stands in front of me, rather nice and young. She immediately goes for kissing me, but I don't know her and don't know how to behave. We hesitate. I try to initiate a hug anyway, but now she is unsure. There is some tension in the air, like when to people who like like each other meet but there is nothing official yet. So, nothing happens.
When I go back to my cats I see my father has rather failed. He's done the feeding wrong, but I don't feel any anger or blame. As a matter of fact, I don't care anymore. The cats are still there. Things are what they are.

2. Paired DVD's

Last dream.
I'm in the shop, looks different than in reality, more space, darker, blue. Rather impressive. A family starts queuing up and buys a lot of dvd's. I see it coming. They want them wrapped as presents. And they do. In pairs, they say. Man, woman, son and daughter. This will take some time and I haven't started scanning the items yet, because something is wrong with the labels or I want the order in which they have to be wrapped first. I open the first two and scan them. Of these I know they have to be together. Now, when I open them, at least one of them has no reference number to find the actual dvd's, which is in the drawer behind me. So, this too will be a problem. I tell them I have to call my colleague. Tama is not there, so, I call my upstairs colleauge, Keva. He doesn't come. I call again. No answer.
Then I really fill my lungs and start screaming his name. This is really powerful. Everyone looks at me surprised, because it is really loud. There is a queue, too. What happens is that I put so much force into calling out that my voice starts to falter, my throat starts to hurt, and I stop screaming halfway through his name. But it must be enough, because people noticed my sudden power.
By myself I think, now I will not say a word anymore, I have to save my voice. This was really bad for my voice, not at all the way how it is done, though I learned the right way. This was the wrong way, I forced myself, but I bellowed.
Still he is not coming, and I start sorting the DVD's with the customer, not caring about the queue behind them. I think in the end Tama comes and helps me.

  1. Dream 1 with the cats reminds me of another dream. I looked it up, it was 2 December. This one referred to Mavt.

    The father figure in the dream today seems to be the same energy as yesterday. Then, too, I had a feeling that this is an entity related to my Self that protects me, watches over me. So, maybe my guide. The archetype of the father suits this. The fact that the figure is present but always in the background instead of a solid character in the dream also points to this.

  2. Interpretation.

    Dream 1. Maybe refers to the Dutch version of "to have made one's pile" or "de schaapjes op het droge hebben", but not sheep but cats. But of course I did not succeed in doing this. The girl at the door was Do, who is a beautiful girl, and there was a chance to get close to her, but Mefa got in the way. He started to talk to her and continued chasing her the whole evening.

    Dream 2. Someone at the party tonight suggested we all do a small performance. I didn't know what to do. I let all the others go before me. So I did mine at the end. In the end I ended up telling a story, a Norse myth, which did not go as smooth as I liked. I don't know what the screaming means. But the building up of tension was the same as in the dream. The customers and the queue are of course the other people at the party.

  3. I told my dream at the party, and someone else did too. Dore said she dreamed of her late cat. That she got it back, because it only recently had died. This I interpret that she made friends with either me or Mefa. She was conspicuously close with Mefa that night. So I take that the dream refers to their meeting.
