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.

Burning Ship at Sea

1. Taking in the Monkey

There is a monkey that clings to me, I take it inside with me. Even if I don't know if that is good idea. Dark. House. Urban setting.
Someone, maybe me, has a whole load of food brought along for the monkey. Currently it lies on the floor, I see there is a lot of meat among the food, raw steak and stuff like that, big pieces. It is in a transparent plastic bag. I leave it there for the time being. I wonder a moment if monkeys eat meat, let alone that much, this is more like for a tiger. Brown, slim monkey. Clings to me all the time.
The monkey does what it wills, I have no control over it and it does funny almost mischievous things, which I expect from it, so I don't care. It is only a monkey, it cannot understand.

2. Family Gathering

There is a family get together. My uncle J is there. (Can't read notes). 

3. Hiding from the Sea

We're in Holland with the family, at the end of the world, kind of feel, at the sea, nothing else beyond that point, although I see a ship at the horizon, at some point.
I go to that place, the dunes are high just before where the sea begins, which feels threatening, dark, and stormy looking. Not really dunes, because there is a lot of vegetation. Terp. I go there once, alone, and then go back, because I should not get up there and look at this sea. I think my brothers and parents are here too, but they don't come along. 
Later I go back up, this is when I have gathered more courage in myself and am prepared to face this sea. Still I don't want to show myself to the sea, and I try to hide from where I am sitting at the top of this terp or dune. There is a lot of grass, high, and reed maybe, but it makes it easy to hide. This is when I see the storm, at the horizon on my left are dark clouds gathering, they are really impressive, but a long way ahead, I would have time to go back at leisure and go inside. 
This is also when I see fire, at my right side, closer by, and this appears to be a ship that has caught fire. There is a lot of smoke, black smoke, and that makes the atmosphere even darker. And by this I am more impressed, because maybe there are people on it still, I think I can see human activity, trying to salvage whatever possible. The whole ship has burned, metal, big.
But I decide it is better to get back inside, and this is what I do and that is more or less the end of the dream. The last thing I do.

4. Buying Condoms with a Book

I am in Leuven, evening, wandering about, not many people about because of the time, and maybe it is Sunday. I am in the part where the Grote Markt and the Oude Markt connect. There is a shop instead of the street, in the corner, greenish, I go in because it is open. I have been here before, according to the dream. And I look around, seeing what they sell. When I leave a thought has formed in my mind and I decide to buy condoms because this might be the right moment. I want to have some with me and now not a lot of people are in the shop so no too many will see. I go to where they are and there is only one kind, I pick it up, it is a big package, sort of the size of a book, but square, and on one side the prize is stuck on, which I try to remove for some reason, I get it off only half, the rest sticks on the pack, I don't mind. The bar code is on this thing, dark, purple, black, and it looks a bit like a voucher that you sometimes find on supermarket articles, and can fold open. I take all this to the counter and check whether people see me, two other people are approaching the till, but I am sure to be first, this will be okay. Someone is behind the till, so I expect everything to go smoothly.
I hand over everything, she, or he, scans it, and says the price, which is € 29,95, which at first I think is a lot, but then I think these must be luxury ones and a lot of them maybe. I pay, not to make a fuss. At that point the package is red, a nice red, not too shiny. I take everything with me, under my arm, and at that point this pack is indeed a book and I am surprised to discover that, because I had not expected to find a book with the condoms, but that is a nice surprise and look forward reading it.

5. Taiji Staff

Fragment, dark, in which I or someone else wields a taiji staff. This staff looks like the one I have.

6. Drinking Coffee

Fragment in which I am with other people, someone has a coffee and for some reason I too drink coffee, it is suddenly there and I had not realized, but for the moment when I drink it and taste it. I decide I still not like it.

    Dream 4 was the last dream, it sexually incited me, but ended in time, then it ebbed away.
    Dream 6. Coffee associated with sex. Another person was drinking coffee, but I don't know who.
    Dream 3 was the main dream.
    Dream 2 was the second main dream. After dream 2 I had the feeling of no longer dreaming or sleeping, but what I went through were still dreams. The monkey reminds me of Joja, because of his playfulness, and this would be the start of the taiji week.
    Dream 4. The place of the shop reminds me of a tourist shop there, which I happened to be in when it opened first.
    Dream 3. The sea is emotion, the storm far away might be something in the future that I sense now. The burning ship I don't know, maybe linked to me personally in the future or the present, or not at all, because it did not feel linked. I associate this dream with my plea of how to approach Tivb and the dream might expess my fears and the fact that I don't have the opportunity this week to contact her, although I wish to.

    Dream 4. Residue of what I actually did more or less in another shop two years ago. The book on sex might be a residue of the book on erotic massages I looked into by accident on Saturday.

    Dream 3. I checked facebook today and Tivb sent me a reply on Monday, which is when I had this dream about the sea. When I had this dream I suspected it might be related to her. This is a link, but only the future can really tell.

    Dream 3. I had hoped that the storm and especially the sea would point to Tivb. We met by coincidence today, as a matter of fact she found me practicing taiji, so I could not hide. I wonder whether this moment is this dream, but I don't think so, because the storm was more impressive still. I know this storm is something that will happen in the future, only I don't know when, or what it will entail.

    Dream 3. Tuesday night 30 July, I had trouble getting to sleep. Earlier in the day I had decided I should write another book, and this haunted me, so I could not sleep, I got up and did some writing and collecting of material and went to bed at 2pm. At the same time other stuff is going on, like writing the Younger Futhark articles and wanting to restart working on the runic correspondence course, and expecting things from Tivb. All this together might be the storm. If so, then four weeks went by before it hit the coast. And today, I had a dream about hiding, behind my mother's skirts, and another dream about clear water, quite, and winning, Thursday, 1 August.

    Dream 3. Today Tivb posted on facebook that she's got a new boyfriend. I suppose that is the burning ship. And the fact that I rather go back inside than help the people on the ship means that I will leave the matter and not bother her, as I was already doing, because she had said to keep distance in the first place.
    This also means that the storm that was forming on the left is still to come and might only be expressed by the end of this year. I am actually looking forward to this.
