Wild Race

1. Peeling Shrimp

I am peeling cooked shrimp, or scampi, really big ones, and eat them. They're good. At the moment I am the only one eating them, though I'm not alone. Close up type of dream.

2. No Control Bicycle Race

We are in a coastal city, beach nearby, but I never see it. Leave the building, enter the promenade. Driving on a special bicycle, it is really a small wheelchair. Wheels are small. I continue in this. I am the only one with this. Maybe that is the reason why I get caught up in a competition of cyclists. Most have normal bikes.

This is a straight street. From the moment I am caught in the race, I can't pull back. But quickly enough I take over everyone and I am in front. I don't really like it, because it goes too fast and I can't control it. I look for my brakes now and then, and only now and then I find them. But then I think, I might not use them at all. Then there is a sharp bent to the left and the road goes down steeply, which means, I'll be going even faster. I'm thinking, I'll just have to steer better. At that point my brother comes after me, he has joined the race and takes me over. The rest is behind. I descend the bent. And I don't know whether I am supposed to keep left or right or in the centre. The lanes are coloured and somehow show the most efficient path to take. Green and blue.

And then there are competitors of another race who are speeding upward. Now not only I have to not smash into the walls left and right, or fall, but also evade those coming up. The others behind me are so slow.

3. A Bed in the Centre

Medieval complex, building in that style (reminds me of the building in the dream about the phoenix). Can't remember what happens.

Then, when we are going back, we come into a room that reminds me of the veranda of my parents. It is a room at the side. Big, rectangular, a bit dark. Lots of people, not much in the room itself. Windows. Especially on the left. You can see people pass by, the same as in the taichi training hall of Joja. There is a big bed in the middle of the room. I am in that bed. And there is a girl that I know in the dream in it too. We are not supposed to be together, but we are. What's more, we are naked, or at least almost. At first, we are decent, but then she wants me so bad (she reminds me of De) that we start to get naked and start to get excited. And that is when I say to her, softly, are you coming to my room (wil je mee naar mijn kamertje?). Everyone can see us, but at this point I can't care anymore. I let it all happen because we have been postponing this for so long. So long that I possibly had given up on it. She says yes, but we are already naked then, and the sheets are tossed.

My brother N is in the neighbourhood.

4. Sampling Mead

(Hypnagogic Dream)

I'm in the restaurant where I usually have lunch. I'm at the bar, rather intimate, this is the private place, not the public space of the restaurant itself. I am there and I serve them mead, which I made myself. I have three cups to sample. The first one is the new one, which I think is not so good, because it is too sweet. And I think the other two are better because they are of the first batch, and that was better. Yet, both are still different. And the second actually comes from a bottle of beer, dark beer, Grimbergen. And it is dark when I serve it, and Pi finds it suspicious. He doesn't like it anyway, I am a little disappointed. 

5. Recording Dreams

All through the night I tried to remember my dreams (not the ones recorded here) so hard that the taking of notes came through in the dreams.
