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.

Dentist House

1. Underworld fight

Building, feels like underground, complex and deserted. Things start to crumble if I remember correctly. Me and some friends are there looking for a way to escape. It is full of invisible beings, that want to attack us, but can't remember the details. I am the one who leads the party.
There must be fighting and hiding. Like in a fantasy novel, very epic. Can't remember the details.

2. Invitation

First part of the dream a long way from the centre of the town, day, light, can't remember what happened. I have to be somewhere, it is afternoon and I have a tight schedule.
Second part of the dream is when I am on my way. Now I am closer to town. I go somewhere, I think in a shop, like a bookshop. Herent. This is a place I know well. There are a lot of people. This too looks like a place beneath the ground floor. But there is light. Different rooms, three rooms I think. Books. I see someone I recognize or wanted to see. There is a sofa, on which she is lying, and I go there, sit with her. She is Sabine De Vos. She writes children's stories. I take a look at her latest work and we talk about this. At a certain point she asks me whether I want to pick up her son or daughter, who is still small and at school. I say alright, and she names the school and I ask what the exact adress is.
I like sitting there with her, even with all the people in the room. I'm not sure what to think of the situation, she is a lot older than me, and she has a family. That puts me off, of course.
I keep looking at the clock, because I have to be somewhere else, but I can't see the hour clearly. I think it is half past four, which is still very early in the afternoon. Still, I tell her I have to go, and she is surprised, slighty upset, which means that she wanted me to stay. But I have to go. There is another appointment waiting for me, although I can't even remember the time of the appointment in the dream. I leave anyway, which breaks my heart too.
The room where the sofa is, there is another room next to that, which is a veranda, and really open. But still underground, so has something dwarfy about it. I think what we talk about is books she wrote, and I look at her latest work, which she would like to publish, but she can't find a publisher. I see books she is reading too, a two volume one, really big books, they are published by Kramat, a publisher that I look down upon. So, it looks really troubling for her.
Third part of the dream is when I am on my way to picking up her boy at school, I think I am already half an our too late, I think his name is Abraham. But he may be the brother of Elbr, when he was young.
This time I am really in Herent, I recognize the OLV street which leads to the church. I pass a certain house, where I think in the dream that Elbr used to live. I expect that she still lives there, in the dream. When I come there I stop, I see on the doorbell, or the plaquate on the wall, the name Yisobel, which looks kind of Jewish, and reminds me of the song by Bjork (which just played in the background while I am writing this report).
When I come to the door, the dreams becomes very lucid. The door opens and two ladies come out. They see me, and I thought it would be Elbr leaving the house, which would be good, because I haven't seen her in years, not talked to her in too many years. So, I am suddenly hopeful. The lady who looks like her, looks me in the eye, and asks whether I want to enter the house. I say yes and wonder if it is at all allowed if they are leaving, but she doesn't make a problem out of it and lets me in. She may be her mother, though in real life she looks different.
When I enter, I meet the same lady again, so she is still here and guiding me. The above was the lucid part. Now normal dream stuff. When I enter, I also see 'tandarts' which is dentist on the plaque on the wall, which fits with Elbr's current profession. I go in anyway, even if I'm a bit scared of the dentist.
But once we go in the house, things start to change a bit. The mother is naked, and covered in some kind of salve, she has boils along her whole body. She does not look healthy. I try not to look at her breasts, which are small. Because she is a whole lot older than me I can't decide whether she is beautiful or not.
I follow her while she shows me around and explains. The ground floor room is not special at all, actually I don't remember well. I remember she started explaining things to me in a language that I could not understand, I suppose Chinese. That is what it looked like.
Then we go to the next floor and shows me around. There are beds in rooms with clean sheets everywhere. I can tell already that the structure of the house is layer per layer, and every floor has a particular theme.
The next level has people in it, by which I am surprised, it is darker here, whereas earlier it was really light. There are women here working, and I suppose they are all friends, but they work, prepare things, such as dinner. I see all kinds of food, small party snacks, stuff I like, some of it is on my left, which means that it is in a room I can' reach, because you have to walk around, because right behind me is the stairwell. There is a woman there, she takes care of the snacks. There is also a woman in front of us, they talk to each other, this time in German, that is the language spoken on this floor. She is new, apparently, and her cooking or preperations must be carefully checked. So she is somewhat interrogated by the hostess.
Then we continue along this floor, there are more people working here, all preparing food. Once we turn the corner, I see two men working in the kitchen. One of them is very rough with French breads. The other one does something weird, he disassembles the French breads and gives them to the first one, who puts them in the window and reassembles them there. Weird. There is someone else working in the kitchen, too, a woman. The lady host speaks to all of them.
This is more or less where the dream ends.

  1. Often, when I reread a dream report it looks like I have given too little detail. When I write it down, I should describe everything in detail, but this just takes too much time. The dream with the different floors had so many details, that it was difficult to keep my mind to writing.
    The foods were amuses gueules that you put in the oven, piles of it, on a central table, she stood on the left side, behind her was a doorway to the kitchen. So, part of the kitchen was invisible to me. These were snacks I really liked, but I did not eat it, this was not necessary, nor was there the desire to do so.

  2. Dream 1. These were like high stone vaults.

    Interpretation.
    Dream 2. I would expect the dream to be about Chdm who contacted me on facebook. The question is, is she Sabine De Vos, or is she the two ladies at the door later. I think the former. The room she is in, with the books, represents facebook. I am on the couch with her, chatting. Then I say I have to go because I have another meeting. I now realized this is the moment when I said I would watch a dvd. Although we had already talked a long time by then, she might have felt a slight disappointment.

  3. Residue.
    The French bread is a residue from last week when I went for lunch some place else that I usually go, and they use this kind of bread, which is not my favourite.
