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.

Time Travel Book and Stickers

1. The Witch and her Girl Servant

Main dream.
The point where I start remembering the dream was outside in a park, or rather the countryside. There is a path, hardened earth, no paving. On the left is a wagon, not a car. Old gypsy kind. In front is nothing, although there might be a castle somewhere faraway. To the left is the realm of this gypsy. There is a girl serving this gypsy, who is sometimes a witch, although she might as well be a merchant, looking at her wagon.
They have all stepped out. And talk with me, and whoever else is there. The girl stays behind at the wagon I think. What happens next, I'm not sure of. Maybe the witch turns into my mother. But it is also my mother who gives me advice and help. She takes out the book that is central to my quest that I am about to embarking, if I want it or not. She is on my left. There must be one or two other persons behind me, but I can't remember who they are or say what they do.
There was something about this girl too, about poisoning, would she poison the witch? Can't remember the plot.
The book is white, hardcover and normal size, but I recognize it as the next volume in the Gem Trilogy I was reading. This must be the second book, the first was Ruby Red. Then this must be the sapphire one.
My mother, whites, opens the book somewhere in the middle. I think on a random page, but I'm sure she knows exactly where. All this means that I will be sent to the future.
My mother points at particular words in the book, on the left page. She also has another sheet of paper with tiny stickers, most figures look alike, they are all geometric figures and she says they will help me. Maybe the leave was already between the pages, but it is loose for sure, so then she must have put it there before. She peels of one sticker first, it is smaller than my fingertip and looks like a pentagon shaped figure. Then she peels of another one from a lower row, somewhere in the middle of the leave, and this is a hexagon. And she explains to me that the first is to go into the future, but the second is for getting back. And then she carefully puts them on the page of the book, left page, both of them, not too hard that I would not be able to get them off, but gently. This means that I will need the book on my travels, and that I will have to stick the stickers on my body somewhere to use them. The leave with stickers, she will keep. I endure the lecturing.
All this is done in the open, just before I am supposed to jump. Sometimes in the dream, or just after when I start waking, this book reminds me of Neil Gaiman's new book, which I haven't read yet, but know exists. The book itself must have been possession of the girl.
Then the scene changes a bit, same party, same story. We are in a city. Walk slightly to the left, and pass a clinic somewhere, purples, and it is a bit out of the way, but when we pass, mother says that this is the one that Charlotte was in some time ago. Charlotte is a character from the book. The city is London, only looks different than real life. Mother points out that the clinic is part of the brotherhood or society, I don't know of what, I only know that this is not good, and that it is related to the realm of the witch earlier. As a matter of fact it turns out to be that most of the city is owned by them. The energy feels masculine, after one of the characters of the book.
Don't know what happened next, but in the end we are somewhere inside, maybe in the witch's castle. We sit on the left of a big room at a long wooden table. On the left of the table. Anle sits on one side. And we on the other. On my left a young boy, on my right someone else, maybe mother. Anle has a lot of spots on her body, I see her very clearly, maybe a lucid moment, I see her skin in detail. She looks very much like Anle, but there is something else about her that makes me careful. She is the witch. And maybe much older than her appearance reveals.
Before that was a scene about someone who helps the evil woman, but this woman knows everything, so it is better to help her, even if you do something behind her back that is against her will, she will know. She sees all. The small boy is frightened by that. Maybe the boy was originally the girl who had to help the witch.
Then at the table, this woman becomes embodies by Anle. We talk at first, then Anle says something from which we deduce that she has seen us do something she does not like. In fact it was much gentler. She said rightaway and directly to the boy, although formulated as a hypothesis, that he want to the kitchen and sneak and get some candy there, without her knowing. When she says that, the body startles and becomes afraid. My father sits on my right side, and he is impressed too. Both feel caught red handed and react strongly, although the boy much stronger. I don't blink. Of course it was true that the boy sneaked into that room and took some food, but whether it was the fridge, freezer or a candy box, I can't remember. The room was dark, and behind us, at the end of a corridor. This place must be the castle.
Both the boy and my dad become red, flush.
Maybe I say something because I see that the energy bodies of both men respond the strongest in certain well defined areas only, that is the forehead and the throat, but not the part in between. These parts light up red in the aura. Anle explains and says: the heart I will not touch. This is her mercy or grace. It also implies that the second area might have been the solar plexus, because the heart is in between the areas.
The boy admits that he did this. He says as much.
In the meanwhile, because I see Anle's skin so much in detail, and her lips and her face and so on, I become more and more attracted by her, to the point that I would like to kiss her, I would even go to bed with her would she ask, even if she is the bad guy.

2. Two Halls

Having food together with other people. Big hall, on the right. Then I continue on my own, going to the left, there is also a hall, maybe with food. Don't remember anything else.

3. Erel

Last dream before waking a first time, 9am.
Last part.
Garden, light, day, maybe parents' garden, on the side of the terrace. Looking at the grass. Erel is there. We stand together. He is on my left and doing something or showing something. Four stems or beams of wood lie in front of him, and he moves them with his foot. I watch. These rods might be of plastic,  fibre glass or wood, I'm not sure.
One part of this dream is in the morning, another part in the evening. At the end Erel asks me a question, because he forgot something, and I start to sum up what he wants to know, a little more than he asked, to give context. Maybe this was about badminton. But I totally forgot the text, although I could see it written in chalk on a black slate, while I said this. Right at the end I woke up.

4. Brfr

Brfr was in one of my dreams.

5. Czech MacDonalds

(Maybe hypnagogic)
I am in a strange country in a strange city, big city, and I find a place to eat at the corner of the street, on my left. Across the street opposite is a MacDonalds, but I don't want to go there.
I enter and once I do I know I am at the wrong place, and I can't get out. People sit in the beergarden, which is fully enclosed, and the restaurant itself is mostly empty. I stand there and can't explain myself, because everyone speaks Czech and I don't understand that. Where the door to the outside should be there is only a wall, white, and soft in a way. I find shapes in the wall, beneath the cover. And I push on something hoping that this might be the door, but nothing happens. Then behind me someone starts to shout in Czech, but he tries to tell me: yes yes, I am coming, I'll be right there and open this door for you. And I feel something happening, but it does not, the door stays closed. So I go in, and I find the chef of the house all the way at the back, and he is doing some cooking, preparing at least, no fires. Again he is a little impatient and tells me to wait, and then helps me. I feel totally lost, but this time I get out.

6. Dream Notes for 435
(Hypnagogic)

Light, day, outside, city, on the right, I am in a place that should be inside, but there are no walls, on a slope, street nearby, maybe London. The place reminds me of the terrace that needs to be broken up at my parents' place. I'm on my own there and I have papers and notes with me and try to write. If I remember correctly, I write a story (the sf one), and I take dream notes.
At some point Ma passes and gives me instructions and tells me to do work for her. By that time, already other colleagues of the Diestsestraat have passed and said hello. And I have set up a sort of whiteboard in the room, which is only a raised platform. Can't remember what happened exactly. I was already doing stuff for her without her asking me and correct her. Something like that.
Later the dream changes to inside, a big room, with tables and chairs, like a reading room in a library. Lots of stuff happens there. Among which the presence of Wabr. This may be in a corner first, and after him follow Woli and Jo2 and maybe Mefa. Sofas here. I was making pictures. Have a manuscript with me. Woli's not interested. Maybe Wabr shows me his pictures. Then again at the table. Brothers are there but at another table. A woman asks for me. Or is sent to me because I would be the one able to help her. She wants chickens, or cocks, the are here indeed. Later Jotr and his family pass by, I wave. This was in the same scene. I am inventing new worlds and get inspiration for writing. Maybe Brva is there too, and I model the text on her. And I invent a planet that is inhabited my mongoloïd people only, syndrome of Down, I mean.
Wholly at the end I walk away, the woman with me, there is a cat, this must be the spirit cat I saw in another dream. It has grown, but the colour has changed too, because she is much lighter now. There is a door, but I wake up anyway.

7. Villa Van Tilt

Last dream flash before getting up.
Television, in the show. Marcel van Tilt, his program is on. Green, orange, yellow. The podium is high and there is a board or wall so that you can't see everything. He is on the left, on a screen, and on the right there is a lot of space, but one book displayed, in such a way that you can't see it, but I stick out my head and recognize the book of Saskia De Coster. And I think I would rather read that other book, by those two men, but I can't remember the title now.

3 comments:

  1. Again, the dreams were very clear when I dreamed them, but at the point of waking up I almost completely forgot to memorize them. This time after the last dream (3), I started memorizing this very last part, the exact words, and I could repeat it word for word, only to find that when I took out pen and paper I had forgotten and only remembered the circumstances, but more than I had realized, and once I got that down, more flowed back from the earlier dream, which means that the earlier dream must have been a little lucid at times, to make me remember then.

    Residue.
    Dream 7. Book of Wij en Ik, I saw this at D&S's on Saturday.
    Dream 6. Presence of Wabr, residue of his reply yesterday, that he will come to the meditation. Diestestraat people, may be a residue of Inro's mails, yesterday and the day before. Place is residue of current project of parents to break up that part of the terrace, it really looked like that place.
    Dream 3. Erel maybe residue of mailing him to practice Wednesday, and he answered quick enough.
    Dream 1. Anle is a residue of seeing her taiji workshop, but the detailed skin is a residue of looking at the paintings of Mibu yesterday, these for the haiku. The witch may be a residue of Stco telling me he saw the video of Narnia, Sunday.

    Interpretation.
    Dream 6. This was weird because after dreaming a part of this dream (there was something about dinosaurs and mammoths too), I was fully inspired to write and would almost have gotten up to start writing for the rest of the day. Everything was there. Yet when I finally got up it was gone. I can't remember the passage anymore, only that I took Brva as an example for conversation and situation.
    Dream 3. The place on the lawn was the same as where I was yesterday with my brother building this thing with wooden beams. Maybe they are related. If so, then maybe this is about the haiku?
    Dream 1. Character of book reminds me of Chdm, but she was not in the dream, though maybe the character referred to her as a symbol. The geometric figures might refer to M7R text from a few weeks ago. Upper right leg of abraxos.

  2. Interpretation.
    Dream 1. Stickers. I made an evening walk before the sun went down, in the park, on my way back, just before leaving the park I saw a something small on the floor, which was the same size, with a figure cut out in the middle. I did not take it, just registered it.
    Anle, she might represent the conversation with Auae on facebook. This person wants to meet me, said so yesterday already, so maybe this can be linked with dream 3, too, because I had a similar dream yesterday.

  3. Interpretation.
    Dream 3. If we consider the conversation with Auae to be an interpretation of this dream, then the question might relate to the content of the conversation which was dreams. We also exchanged phone number, though not on my initiative. Erel is doing something and I watch, this might be what it was like on facebook.
