Recommending DVD's

1. And that is When the Lights go Out

City with high houses. I'm in one of them built on a slope. (This is an environment that comes in the dream more often, for example, the one with the threads in front of the house... last year). Houses close together. Dark outside, night, or late in the evening.

I'm alone. Not at the beginning. Lots of buzz. Work, busy. One woman in particular I send my attention to, this is of course Inro. There's light at that point, inside, in the rooms. They are all very high. High ceiling, surface however is small. Because of something she says I go searching for dvd's and try to recommend one for her. At least that would be something I can do for her.

So, I browse through my dvd collection. I notice that most are still in plastic and never used. Maybe something is there that she likes. Many films are really too romantic, I can't give that to her now. The dvd's are stacked on shelves against the walls, but in different places, so I have to go to different places and find one. In the meanwhile, Inro is leaving, so I have to hurry. Sometimes I say to her, have you seen this one, what about this one. I keep running around and finding things that I didn't even knew I had.

After a while she is gone anyway and I'm alone. That is when I'm alone. And the lights go out or I switch them off. And that is when I see that the wall in front of me has a rosette, like in a church. The same structure, but a little different. I find that amazing, even in the dark. About that too I did not know it was there. Books are stacked against the wall, or maybe even against the window. It is so high I have to look up to see it.

2. Facing the Side Wall

(Hypnagogic Dream)

I enter the training hall. (The hall reminds me of another training hall, same taiji situation, I have dreamed about some time ago, but can't remember exactly). There is light. Full of people, all students who are concentrating hard. The class is about to begin, but everyone is already concentrating. And I enter, and the teacher is not there yet. I go stand facing a certain wall, because everyone looks that way, but doing that I am the one in front and I can already feel people start to become dependent of what I do. So, after a while I change position, and turn 90° to the left, everyone does by the way. That is about when Pake comes in. I feel uncomfortable standing there, because just the row I am in is so crowded I have no room to move. But I don't want to take a step forward, nor backward. He always says that you are fine just where you are, so that is what I do, I stay where I am. However, when he comes in, I cower a little bit because of my stubbornness. He gives away nothing.
