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.

Getting there in Time

1. Parking the Car

Me and my brothers in the car. I am driving. D next to me. N behind. We drive through the city. We have to get D somewhere in time. I find the way quite easy. And I stop exactly at the right place, which is where the door or entrance of the building is where D has to go in. A small road leads up to it, or maybe it leads to the underground parking lot beneath. But I don't take it. I brake and stop in front of the door, and D gets out.
This is a workplace, an office. It is a strange day and time to be here, because it is Sunday. And either still early, or already late.
N comes sit in front. I have trouble keeping the car still. It keeps moving slightly and I have only a small control over it. But I plan to turn the car around, there is plenty of space. But this too causes me trouble, because I have no control over the car, and part of the car drives over the kerb when I turn. I take my turn too wide, and to sharp at the same time. And then I feel the car still going on so I brake very hard. I put my foot down, and it responds a little bit. It stops after some time and then it continues anyway.


2. Eating DVD's

Maybe still the same dream. We are at home, in the morning, my brothers and me, our mother is also here, but mainly in the kitchen, while we are in the veranda and the living room. We have to get a move on, because we have to be somewhere in time, again for our brother D's appointment. Again, I'll be driving.
The car is outside on the terrace. It is a bright morning, lots of light and colour. Everyone is in a good mood, except that I keep everyone waiting, and that pisses my brothers off.
At first I have to wait for the others, but when they are ready, I still need to eat, because by that time it is almost lunchtime and I have possibly not eaten yet. So I am in the living room and sit in the sofa closest to the veranda. We will go through the veranda to get to the car. And there is a dvd box with animation films for kids, maybe Disney. I start to unpack the dvd's. The cd's have to be put in, or the other way around, I can't remember. At any rate, I am thinking, this would be good if I had this done before we left, so I can take this with me fully prepared. I tear the plastic that is still around the separate dvd's and with each one I think, I would like to see that one. But it is food at the same time, or there is food at the same time. Of course, I am alone sitting here, because everyone else is in the car already.
When I was waiting it must have been 11am, now they're waiting it is already 11.30am. And I think, I better have lunch first. It is still a long way.
In the meanwhile, our mother reports to me that Pese is already waiting for us at the arranged place. He is a friend of D.
There is a lot more before and after, but I can't remember.
+ Somewhere in the dream, there was also the sister of So. She was standing at the door to the kitchen in the veranda. Her long blond shining hair caught my attention.
+ I am sure I had something with cocktail sauce when I ate what I ate.

3. Cat bites my Arm

Something about aunt M.
And later, when I go somewhere, maybe home, I am in a corridor like that of a hospital or apartment block. I find my way to the room I need to be in. The door is open, or there is no door. Before I can enter I pass a cat, grey striped, long. She looks like S, whose one of Bale's cats. I give her some attention, but the next thing I know is that she bites my arm and will not let go, more like a dog. So I lift my arm, but the cat does not let go. She holds on so that she is forced to get to her hind legs. Now she really seems long, or big. So, I'm stuck with her.
That is about where the dream ends.

  1. Residue.
    Dream 2. Pese is a residue of discussing D's bachelor party on Saturday of last week.
    Dream 3. Cat that bites my arm may be a residue from dreaming the same yesterday.

    Dream 2. The dvd's were in plastic, but only half, as if Kr had taken the cd's out.
    Maybe Soro was there too.
    Dream 1. It is very unusual for N not to drive himself, let alone sit in the back seat.

    I took notes on paper after dream 2. I managed to get back to sleep and dream, although the sleeping did not feel as deep as I wanted. So I am inclined to call this a hypnagogic dream, although it is possibly a normal dream. But this points out the whole problem of dream noting. Even a slight disturbance of sleep wakes up the surface mind and makes it difficult to get back in the sleep cycle.

  2. Interpretation.
    I would have thought that my dreams were about my intention to visit De. Now, I think they actually do, because I've been waiting the entire day for the opportunity to visit her, but I didn't until the evening, when I passed by her house, but she did not seem to be there. The feeling of getting somewhere in time was just that. In the end only got there late in the evening.
    Dream 3. The cat is possibly a reference to Bron who was playing with me when I was at my cousin's house. She is still little, and got attached to me. When I stood up to go to the bathroom or whatever, she panicked because she did not want me to leave. That is the scene by the door. Our position in regards to the door was also the same. She stuck with me in the same way as the cat did in the dream. So I gave her no reason to panic. Actually, her movement reminded me of the dream, because it was the same. I stood up and she was still holding on to me.

    Me on the wheel means that the dream symbolism is about me. The fact that I take D to somewhere, means that I take an aspect of myself to somewhere. As D is getting married in a month or three, this may well relate to romantic matters, which underlines the connection with De.
