At home of parents, light, dining room, brothers and mother are there. There is a calendar lying ready on the table, Druivelaar. Two of them, one is already in use and shows the 8th of April. The other shows the 9th of April, but it still in plastic. Red and yellow.
After some time in the dream, supposedly after something has happened or just when time has passed, my mother changes the calendar and says she should have done it earlier. When she unpacks the new one it is the right time to do that, but she thinks she should have done it like half a day earlier. I don't know why and observe. The reason is not clear, there must be some energy or esoteric reason that I don't know of, like astrologics. It means it must have been late, evening or night.
There is also a puzzle on the table, purples and blues, and green. Square. Everyone works at this one, that is, my two brothers are currently on it. Three quarters is already done. Maybe I want to help.
At some point I go to bed, everyone else too, and things become quiet. The scene changes, but I am in my bed. We are no longer in the house, but in some sort of building, like a castle or monastery, rectangular, very wide, no rooms, the front shows doors and portals and windows, but there is also no roof, so we sleep under the sky. Clear, light. Colours of quality. There are different sections in the building's plan. And I am in the right top one, but not all the way to the side. My brothers are bottom left, both of them, but in different sections. Because of the arrangement, everyone is a long distance away from the others.
I'm in my bed, on the floor actually, on a mattress, under my duvet, which is nice and warm. My head is pointed to away from the front. H&B are also here, can't remember why or what they do.
Then, all of a sudden, Kr comes in through the front, he is back from doing some business on the road, he has been working and still is or is now finishing his shift. He comes to me and says I have to pay him this or that, about 6 euro 15. And I don't feel like, stay under the cover, lift myself a little, and pay him all the same, and he gives change back, the exact amount, because I gave him a tenner or something. I'm surprised that he does that, on the other hand I don't want to argue the point of paying or not paying. I can't remember why I should pay, has something to do with the fact that he drove around for all of us maybe. Maybe H&B were with him on the trip. They all went to deliver to schools, maybe even Jotr was there.
2. Circling Push Hands
Maybe part of the same dream cycle.
Inside, long wide corridor. We are about five people and Pake is there and we are constantly on the move, we move through the corridor from right to left, I suppose because we want to get somewhere. At the same time we move in circles, against the clock most of the time. This is all necessary to train, because Pake is in the middle and shows us some pushing hands, very basic things, but continuously, so everyone evades and walks around him, that is how we proceed.
Then halfway through the corridor and stay put by the wall, still going in the general direction, but I think that the circling is unnecessary, and from time to time Pake passes me, and I can always evade, except for a touch of his trousers or hip or whatever, just slightly. I still stay. After a while I feel awkward, because I'm being different than everyone else. Still I think it is right.
Then a pause, because he wants to practice or show something with someone, and I suggest a person to him, a man who has been lagging behind, and has been skipped by him everytime, in the dream I know the person, and now Pake clearly says, no, not him, and from that time this person is expelled, and stays behind on the right, where we came from. I don't make a big deal out of it. We turn a few times more, sometimes clockwise, sometimes anti clockwise.
3. Table Football and Rhino Skull
Home of parents, outside, on the terrace. There are two things, for play or sports, installed, one by the second garage, and the other away from it by the veranda, where you can park your car. My brother N and me play with this second one, which is an enigma, but has to do with food. All the same, I know from the start what it is. N does not and continues to dig, or carve.
D is playing at a sort of table with a lady friend. This table is a combination of games, but table football is the most obvious, although there are many balls and when I come over to help, I see that most of the balls and figurines are not connected with bars to turn, so you can't move them. There are a lot of balls on the board. The thing also looks like a flipper box. There is some other construction, too, put on the board, which looks like a water race track of some kind, this in red.
The person D is playing the game with reminds me of Ledi. She is on the left, D is opposite of me. I try to guide the balls over the board as best I can.
Then D says it is time to clean up, because the car must be parked or whatever, implying that the thing is actually a car, but it is a little more complex than that, because now I see behind D another car, a van, white, that needs to be parked in the second garage, but it cannot move, because of the game. So we make room and then it seems like a part of the front wheel, on the left, of the van, is broken. Wheel clamp, but worse than that, and it seems that the other front wheel is also damaged. This is going to be difficult. Possibly the van's roof is not even whole anymore. We move the table out of the way, which also becomes a car, which N has to move, because it is his car.
I turn to N and see that he is almost done with his game. In the beginning only one horn like thing was protruding out of the mass, but now he has carved all the meat away, I think that is what it is, and the bones are clear, and the shape of the Rhino's head is now clearly visibly, though it is still a stylization. When he carves away the last of the meat, it really looks like a piece of lamb cooked tender, but it is the shoulder blade of a rhino.
Then we go inside, possibly to eat, mother is there, too (Can't read my notes here).
(First time in the night I took notes).
4. Girl Leaves Class of Father
At university or college, looks like one of those American ones with a lot of parks, space and so on. I'm walking from one department on the right, closer to the road, to the main one in the middle, which has a large green in front of it. People catch up with me as I walk there. They are going to class.
There's a Chinese girl, can't remember details. Two girls are with me from the start, they are going to class for sure, one of them is Ilvm, the other one might be Neve or Napa, who are all people from when I was a teenager and I haven't seen the since. The two girls walk in front of me chatting the whole time, and complaining about boyfriends, I'm just a friend. And then Ilvm starts to whine that she has never had a boyfriend, and wants it to happen soon and hopes that this university thing will make it happen. Actually, the other might not have had one either, if I followed the conversation right, so she said in the beginning, but by the end, it turned out different, so I'm sure, anyway, she's more relaxed about these things. They both have blond hair, are not that tall, and dress in light colours. Ilvm has long hair to her shoulders, but straw colour.
When she's whining I'm thinking I don't want to be her boyfriend, even if she'd ask me. There is something about her character that I don't like.
In the meanwhile I am following them because I have nothing better to do. And they know exactly what they want. There is a certain class starting and they want to go, so they head for the main building. And they decide I have to go with them. My studies are chosen for me. They try to convince me by saying that it is a Tolkien class, they will teach Elfish, and I am thinking, on the one hand I don't want that because it is a waste of time, and on the other hand, that would force me or give me the opportunity to finally do it.
Once in class, the room is full, I sit in the back, with another girl that was already there, she wants to be with me all the time, as if it is so arranged. I sit at a student's desk with her. She is beautiful, young, and dominant. What's more, the person teaching is her father, reds. The father stands on the right of the blackboard, that is also where the door is. He has his back turned to class very often, to explain things, I assume he uses the blackboard for that.
Halfway the class, my girlfriend decides she wants to leave class, of course I have to go with her. She has good reason to leave, although I think it is improper behaviour to do that now, she could wait till class is over, but she knows the teacher, so she can get away with it. First of all, she asks her mother, who is also there, and sits in our vicinity, the mother says she should not do it, but the girl goes anyway. The girl needs to prepare something, and I believe it is a surprise for her father, so this would be the only suitable moment. She's been waiting for this for some time now. So after that she goes up to her father and asks him, or tells him, and I have to go with her, which I do.
5. Self Made Rose Candles
Maybe part of the same dream cycle.
We are outside, dusk, in a garden or at a house, not immediately familiar to me. The girl and her mother are there. I feel like being in a rpg for playstation or whatever. And the mother is by a shed, but there are flower beds everywhere. Somehow the place does remind me of my parents' place. I watch. The girl brings her mother a set of flowers, they are roses, but she made them into candles, they look a bit like candy, long stalks. And she is proud of it, shows her mother and explains, and the mother says that she has to plant them in the garden, here and there, that will surprise daddy (I think). I think it is weird to plant candles, but the idea is good. The flower of the rose is still free, but the stalk is wrapped in red wax, and the stalk is put in the ground. The girl goes about her business, sticking these candles in the ground here and there. She does not know where, but the mother gives suggestions. The places the mother points out are the places that father will definitely see them when he comes home.
6. Church Jeka Reunion
Maybe part of the same cycle.
I'm in a city, light, spacious, know the place, though a dreamworld, cobbled streets and brick buildings, houses, deserted, like on a Sunday afternoon.
I'm there with a few others, we walk into a certain direction, because we are supposed to meet others. I walk alone when I come to the square. Beyond that is a church, stands alone and has stairs towards its doors. Someone is waiting on the stairs and when I come closer I recognize her. She is Ludu, she used to be one of the monitors when I was at Jeka. I go up the stairs, but she does not recognize me and looks past me, I leave it and continue. Meanwhile things are becoming clear, because the people that were with me earlier might have been the club of Vaau, Kave, Elbr, and so on, Kave was certainly among them. They will come in after me. I enter the church.
I pass Ju also, who was one of the monitors, but he does not recognize me either, I think that is strange but go on, we will all be together soon enough.
In church there are already a lot of people there, some of which I know. Mostly on the left side. And the tables are arranged like in a big hall, or restaurant, when I enter the church, some other people join me. I was with a few others anyway, but they too did not recognize me, although I was with them, this is the same group as before. But now I recognize Rovm and Dive, and I shake Dive's hand, to show the others that I'm not a stranger but actually know somebody here. And I wave to Rovm, because he is at the other end of the group, too far away.
So we walk down the left lane and sit ourselves at a table. By that time I've seen on the right Clsm, who is pregnant, and sits with people that I don't know, but she prefers them over the Jeka group, which reunion is the purpose of this all. The mother of Clsm is also there, that might be why she stays there. And Grdr is also here somewhere, I'm sure I saw her, don't know where and whether she stays with us.
At our table sits an Australian girl, she was not part of the Jeka back then, but somehow she belongs to our group. I'm sure I'll hear the story. She's drinking something already. I sit opposite of her. In front must be a podium of sorts. I have a tea with me, everyone has tea or coffee. I drink of it, it is almost finished already. Only at the end, I add the milk, but too much comes out and I don't like it anymore, so I leave it and hope some waiter will come and take it away.
There is also something about mail, maybe a postcard. All this is towards the end of the dream.
(Second time of taking notes, maybe 8am).
7. Gathering in Antwerp
Possibly hypnagogic.
I'm traveling with my parents, brothers too, we are going to the city of Antwerp. When first we arrive it is light and we come to the main square, looks different than in real, although it is the same dream Antwerp of years ago. Very big square, even for London measures it would be too much. It would take people too long to cross it or to even visit it. I can see what they did with the traffic situation, people just have to decide early enough which way they have to go and then there is no problem, otherwise, you will traverse such distances that you will lose time. The traffic situation has changed since last time. There is only one street for cars anymore, and it goes in a quarter circle from near us to the front of the station. Where we are there is also a street, but it has a dead end, so only local. All the rest is pedestrian area. Many different areas.
There's other people with us, but they are friends of my parents, and I know them from long ago, but I don't pay attention.
When we arrive where we should be it is dark, night, and we are meeting other people, that is friends of my parents again.
In the meanwhile, somewhere on the square, there is a stage magician doing tricks. He is high up in the air, balancing on top of a construction, contraption, and speaks loudly to the crowd, I don't like his character, but I think it is a nice thing for the city people. Lots of people are gathered here and look up, but I hear many say that they don't like this person, because he is rude and so forth. One of the tricks I see him do is that he puts his leg, right one, in a tube that is filled with a certain transparent fluid, it goes in all the way up to his thigh, and when he takes it out the leg sparkles with electricity, he shouts something to explain what happens, but I can't remember the words, he has brown hair, half long, and maybe a beard too. He is too rough. I expect that he will put his other leg in such a tube too, but he does not, instead, he puts his right leg again in the same tube, and off comes the sparks and lightnings.
So this is some city party or event going on that we are in the middle of, but I don't think that is why we are here.
Then we find our table, there are rows of tables, somewhere, near restaurants, I believe, and I see uncle R there, which surprises me, because I had thought this was only for friends of our parents, my brothers D and N run ahead and meet the kids of another befriended couple, as if they have kept contact over all those years, they have three daughters, not the best looking, and all younger than me, and I don't recognize any of them, although maybe vaguely. Then everyone is seated and I notice there is no chair left for me and I walk around the table. I can't decide where to sit in the first place, which is why I lost my seat, either with my brothers, or with my uncle, uncle B is also there. Then I see there is a gap, between one side of the kids and the parents and there is at least space for three seats. So I go stand there. Mom and dad are in the centre of the table, opposite, and my dad can't believe what I'm doing, and does not understand me, he does not understand I will sit there, there are no chairs. But then I see chairs at his side that are not used, and he reaches them over, over the table, they are all red plastic chairs. I take them, there are about five of them, I pull the chairs from each other and arrange them at the table, of course there were other people waiting to be seated. So I consider the number of chairs I'll put down, but not so many can sit here.
Later, we walk through the city which has become a citadel, and there is food and tables everywhere. We play a sort of game but I don't remember the details, but my timing of being somewhere is always wrong. At some point near the end I have to carry a bunch of knives with me, but I can't remember what to do with them, anyway, there is a big part of this passage that I can't remember, but at last I sit down, later than everybody else, parents on another table, other section of the citadel, down on our left, we separate table for kids, though Sual is also at this table, opposite of me, my brothers are here, and maybe Ledi again.
Food is served, all Italian, but it looks very good, pasta, lasagna, pizza, pizza bolognese, more sauce than crust, at first I had not even noticed it had crust at all. I take as much as I can, but everyone else is faster than me, but there is plenty and the food I already have is good.
There is a last scene somewhere else, in a house, people gathered, lower level, Covw is there and I carry the book with notes that she gave me and we talk about it, I think, and someone, a man, on my left, sees it and is interested, he wants to buy it, but I say he can't and then Covw explains, they have only two left, and that is there own property, not of the author himself so to speak, they can't give it away.
Dreams were very peaceful and healing of quality, colours of a certain quality, throughout the night. Took notes at different points and was awake enough to do that, had my eyes closed though.
ReplyDeleteWhen I went to bed I set out to do a dream incubation for retrieving the runes of the rune square, but I did not do it because I felt a cold coming up and so I concentrated on healing, which was much better. I also slept very long. It is now proven to me that when I do taiji I need more sleep. I went to bed at 11.30pm and got up at 11am.
All the dreams have a very symbolic feel to them, different atmosphere than usual, but the same as the other time I had 'healing' dreams.
Residue.
Dream 2. Pushing hands residue of watching taiji videos on youtube, among which pushing hands.
Dream 3. Table football residue of seeing and playing that at Stco's, they also had a water race track kind of thing to play with water for the kids.
Dream 7. Note book and Covw residue of working at haiku yesterday. Finished it.
Dream 6. Australian girl might be a residue of that girl that came in the shop a few weeks ago, more than a month ago.
Dream 5. Candles may be a residue of the wax candles I used on Monday for the ritual, one of the candles fell off the table, twice. I make these myself. Rose is a residue of the promotion with Vivabox a while ago, this was for Mother's Day, and also of its mention in one of the haiku.
Interpretation.
Dream 1. The puzzle is surely a reference to the dream rune square I wanted to retrieve. I think it had the motif of flowers on it, which would be a residue of one of Mibu's paintings.
The date in the dream is my birthday. Can stand for a new beginning, rebirth, hence the strong aspect of mother.
Throughout the dreams my mother was much more friendly towards me than otherwise in my dreams, as if something has been solved.
Dream 6. The church and the square somehow remind me of the Arcturus/Antares dreams I had many years ago. So maybe this dream is a different world, a parallel universe.
Dream 4. Going to class might be a Hall of Learning kind of dream.
Dream 5. Reminds me of Aeris, the flower girl, of FF7. She is a healer.
Dream 7. When I was a teenager or maybe student, I had some dreams where I was in Antwerp, and the city looked like that, but I went more in town than the place I was now, although I remember that when I returned I had to go to the same square and this whole area because of the train, which I almost missed because it was late.
Interpretation.
ReplyDeleteDream 1. The only time today I laid down my head to rest was before the meditation. When the first person rang the bell, I started awake.
Dream 2. Endless chain of white transparent circles of protection, Chwe.
Dream 5. Might be Chwe, speaking about her dreams, after the meditation.
Interpretation.
ReplyDeleteDream 7. Today, Saturday, I went to a place to practice taiji with a group I have never met before. The teacher happened to not be there, which was out of the ordinary, but the people invited me for lunch, and the teacher would be there, so I went along. The chairs in the restaurant were red. This reminded me of yesterday's dream. This explains why in the dream I don't know anybody of the group, because it is not my group, and the others greet each other heartily. And also the fact that we sit down at table and I wait is because I don't know my place among them and they all arranged this in advance while they did not know of my intention to show up. The red chairs and the table are the same in the dream as in real life. My uncle R represents the teacher of the group, about the same age.
