1. Spear Hurling

From when I remember the dream I am on the street, the beginning of the street where my parents live and I used to live. And I am ready to go to my parents' place, to go home. Other people are there too, it is dark. When we enter the street, we stay on the left side. This is because something big is blocking the middle of the street, all the houses of the street are on the left anyway.

H&B are here.

At some point I am in the house of Bale, Keva is there. Something that reminds me of an ice queen. Are we allowed to enter. This is already on another location, unknown, enclosed, wall on one side, the house on the other, we can't go any direction. Then from the right comes the enemy and they start throwing spears. And I suppose, but can't remember, that we throw too. Anyway, we win. After that, forces are an equal match.

Before that there was another fight between two big groups, and we lost.

Elsewhere in the dream. The end of a journey. Zombies. Outside. I walk away.

Maybe this is when I go inside, Bale's place, cat V. At the table, there sits among other people Leonardo di Caprio, as if he is a friend of the house. And we talk about films, though he does not claim attention at all.

I want to let in V, who must have been outside first. Something something. Imprisoned, or caught. But she stays where she is, stands (I don't know what this is about, from notes). 

(Middle of the night)

2. Train Cable Car

My brother N is driving, escaping, fleeing. The police is there, but I'm not sure they're after him. On the high road (snelweg), we take over many cars (inhalen), driving left.

There is a train, wagon per wagon, cable cars. They are hauled wagon per wagon pulled up by cable along the steep hill of probably a mountain. Up anyway. We get out. (Can't read notes). We are saved.

(Middle of the night)

3. Pretending to be VIP

We are shooting a film, or playing in it, and maybe not me, but I am there with the people who do. Lots of people present. Outside. A scene is set and shot. First challenge of the hero is to fight alone against the rest. After that comes a scene in which a boat is fired at with guns. I get a chance to make a movie?

The producer talks with people who are interested about his next film and how this will be. I would have loved to shoot my own film, or have it made by him, just deliver the idea and the material. At the moment, I join the conversation and pretend to be a very important person who is familiar with these things.

Later we are with Bale at home, and make diner, her brother T is there too, and might have cooked something too.

(Later in the night)

4. Father and Son

(Can't read notes). Carrying stones? Street, around the corner, up. Shoes for wearing at home. One of them lost, the other on the foot? A person his friend or son, and everyone can take care of himself?

Something he still can't do. Two dogs. His son again.

Maybe this is the dream I remember of being on the kerb, terrace, and a parasol, and a cement stone that needs to be put down like a weight to hold the thing?

(Later in the night)

5. Closed too Early, Crab and Bacon

When I arrive, I'm in the shop, but no customers are there. It is light, but getting evening. Almost time for me to finish. Two other colleagues are working, Liha and List, but they don't care about me and hang out together ignoring me and ignoring the shop. They don't care about the shop. The shop is different than in reality, it is at a lower level, you still come in on the right, but you have to pass several rooms and stages. On the left is a big window, in front on the left is a door to another place, that is where my two colleagues go to be alone.

On the left through the windows is the garden, I am reminded of the veranda of my parents, as if the living room is where the shop is. But the place feels like it is in the basement.

A little later it turns 5.30pm and I start finishing up because that is my time to go home, I finish the till and am starting to close the shop. Both tills are closed.

To my surprise, I see Liha and List going home or making ready to go home to, which is not right, they should stay till 6pm. They're gone. I am finishing, when a customer enters and asks a question. I try to help him but make clear that he can't buy anything anymore, because I've shut the till and we are closed. Then another customer enters. I am angry with my two colleagues for leaving me. I realize we have closed to early. But I was in my right.

Everyone comes to my place to celebrate. This is just behind the corner from the shop. Only a short run, like only crossing the street, but it does not work like that and we go a long way around. It takes a long time to get there. We travel, take the subway to Finchley. Outside.

Group of colleagues and other people. We go through the corridors of the subway terrain, but I don't remember going on a train. We take one of the corridors on the left. This one leads to the north.

When we get out of the tunnels, we are in another sort of world, we go down and come to a canal, two boats are anchored. It is light, peaceful and bright.

Two persons of our group are ahead and run to the second boat, which is furthest, but will leave soon. They get seats, somewhere in the back of the boat. The boat is manned.

Then I arrive, and get on the boat, but I choose different seats, because I like them better, on the left side, on the side of the boat. The others that get on the boat go sit beside me, a girl among them, maybe someone I know. Then the first two people want to join us, but they can't leave, that is against the rules, they can't move at all. Fixed.

At long last we arrive. House, inside. Long table. I sit down in the middle but more to the left, left side. Colleagues are there, such as Brva. Digr is also there and comes in later and does not sit down. I am eating already. There are three kinds of spread on the table and I take two of them, and both on the same sandwich, but I don't like the third, so I have no other options, but it looks a bit decadent. So Digr makes a remark, why I am eating crab salad and bacon.

(Morning)

6. Looking for a Shoe

I dream I am in bed, there is much light, and the window is open, air, wind, curtain is open. White clean sheets. I want to get up. (This is the dream with the house shoes). I don't find my shoes, I find both at first, put on one, and the other is gone, I see it under the bed, but don't consciously register it, then I keep looking and get frustrated, I look everywhere, beside and under and behind the bed, between and beneath the sheets, under the pillow and so on, all with one shoe.

I do all this while I am still lying in the bed.

Then the door bell rings. And I want to hurry down, because I want to open the door as fast as possible, which is polite. But I can't find my one shoe, and I need that first, so I get frustrated. I know who it is too, Bale. Then I give up and take that one shoe from under the bed where I had seen it lying first, and it was exactly there, I don't know why I doubted, maybe I wanted to see all the options first.

Now I hurry down, thinking I am late and maybe the person is already gone. I cross the grass or lawn which is in front, like a patio, I come into the front building, which is an old portal, house, where other people live with whom I share house.

The front door is right in front and because it is of glass, I can see right through and see Bale's bike standing there leaning against the door. She is not there, I think that it is good the bicycle is there, but where would she be?

I look at my right, that is where the kitchen is and I see a woman, she lives in the house. I suppose that she let her in. Yet, I still try the door and open it but of course Bale is not there. Then I go to the kitchen and another girl appears, who don't immediately know. I think she lives in this house too. I had not hoped that so many people would see me dating with Bale, even if it is innocent. But that is the case and I get red on the cheeks, because they are all here, Bale, and two other women, who otherwise might be interested in me.
