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.

How to Cross a Street

1. Cross the Street

At the end of something, like a big event, I walk away, so do two other people, who are still young, and may be brother and sister or otherwise related, they disappear in a tunnel. Many other folk stay behind.
Becr is there, joining something (can't read notes).
At some point we cross a street (place reminds me of London, St Paul's Cathedral, there is this one crossing when you come from the Thames, it was like that, but it was a dream place).
The whole dream was light and full of a feeling of excitement or joy, no neutral joy, but excited, and this atmosphere is created by the people around me.

2. Open the Door

The bell rings, I go look, (can't read notes).
Something about the Smurfs, same dream. The played a relatively big role and were big and real. Maybe other characters too, but this I can't remember.

3. Alone in Bed

Maybe the same dream. Two people stand out again, because they take action of some kind, one of them is Krvh. Something alone in bed (don't know to whom it refers).

4. Errand on Experiment

Upstairs level, long room, plenty of people are quartered here, either sleeping or working, at the one time it is for working and at the other time it is for sleeping, day and night. Always night. Everyone own section. I am at the end of it. The door or entrance is all the way at the other side. On my right are windows, this along the whole room, then beside that is the walkway, and beside that against the opposite wall are the offices or beds. I can't remember what happened.
At some point we go from room to room, this might be during a break, but we still have an errand to run then, and in every room we have to check things, things that we need and want to know, but at the same time you check what all these people are doing, some rooms are big enough for three projects to be held and discussed about, small groups. I remember one particular table, almost the last one, wooden table, head of project looked like a pirate sea captain and some words that I read in a document also referred to a captain, this was on the list to visit. I was not alone working on this project, the other two or more were more awake than me. I just went along but could not really focus, wasn't sure what it was all about.
Later in the dream we go outside and we have to cross a street. Someone who guides us says we have to do this in a wild way, like the wild hunt, but I hesitate and the others too, besides it is dangerous if you don't look where you run, we see cars coming from the right, so we need to let those pass first, otherwise we would have been run over.
And across the street we have to enter the different shops or workshops in the same manner, but I stay behind, this is the end of the dream, I distance myself from it. All this was a rather excited thing to do.

+5. Kaco in the Picture

Some earlier dream, fragment.
We watch photo's of the wedding of D&S. They are new, so we are curious. At a certain point, I see a photo with guests that don't belong anywhere but were there. And I see, very prominently, the face of Kaco. I'm a bit embarrassed by that. At first I can't believe it, because I thought it could not be. How could anyone have found out. Then I look again. And she is really there. There are about eight or ten people in the picture. The picture is old style, a bit brown in black and white, brown and white style. And she is there. And I think, I hope no one recognizes her, or asks me about it. And my instinct tells me to hide the photo, but of course I can't do that, because they are not mine.

+6. Broken Key

I have a key, old one, used a lot, straight one, normal size, but looks more like the one I have from work. I am outside. There are doors. People moving about, going about their businesses. I am in front of my door, use the key and when I take it out I see that the key is almost broken. I am careful with it, would not be able to use again, though I don't give it any thought at that point. This is the end of a dream. But the key bends at the back end of the beard, there is no real beard, straight, and I want to test it but I think I better not touch it or it would simply break.

    Most dreams were lucid and had this over the top happy feeling that I could not associate with, but I needed sleep too much to make myself remember or even take notes. I took notes at some point, but that was at the point when I feared I'd remember nothing at all. What I recorded here are scant fragments, but it is all I have. Except the last dream, which was very late, and I was rested by then. Maybe it was hypnagogic.
    Except for the excited atmosphere, there is the crossing of the street and the two young people acting independently as common themes of the dreams.

    Residue.
    Dream 1. Becr, the shaman, residue of midsummer celebration, which he lead.
    Dream 3. Krvh residue of seeing her yesterday.

    Interpretation.
    Dream 1. This feeling of excitement, I relate it to Licu's feeling toward my presence. So this might be a remnant of yesterday's visit.
    Dream 4. This looks like working on the haiku. That is what I will be doing today.

  2. Residue.
    Dream 5. Wedding picture is a residue of yesterday, when D&S rang my doorbell and handed over this envelope with wedding picture.

  3. Residue.
    Dream 6. Key is a residue of a dream that Licu told me yesterday, which she told me before and which I analysed. She had to save her brother from drowning in a swamp, got hold of his hand and pulled him out but was left with a key in her hand, not him. This now reminds me of the myth of Freyja and Odd, and the gold or amber.

    Interpretation.
    Dream 4. The wild dancing in order to cross the street I was reminded of today when Covw at some point in the conversation, again, started to talk about Butoh and said something about wild dancing, too. This was at the Werf.
    Dream 2. Smurfs might be related to the revision of the haiku with the author.
