Black Train

1. Dog Lion

Some end of a hall, this part is a little higher, but away of the people, and no chairs or tables. A girl is waiting here, she is with us, N also in the neighbourhood. I am waiting too, but I use the time to practice my taiji sword, without sword. But I have the luminous idea to practice with my sweater, the light grey one, and I swing it about this way and that. I move fast because the sweater is not solid like the sword, so I keep moving fast so that it is always moving. I slightly try to impress the girl, who is on my right, and watches me sometimes. I am mainly doing the Falling Flowers Posture, which is the best one you can do with the sweater.
Maybe in this dream too, or in a later dream. In the corner is a dog, and its lady boss too, the dog sits or lies but makes it very clear to me that he wants me to come so I go and kneel and stroke the dog. The boss encourages me, so I stroke the dog, looking for the right place on its head and neck, I feel the bristles. Very different from a cat's head. This is a big dog, like a Shepherd. Light brown, yellow ochre colour. I have some trouble finding the right spot, but the dog is patient, and when it is okay, the dog really enjoys it.
At that point the dog lays its paw on my arm, leg or body somewhere, just nearby, and I see it is a lion. The dog has changed into a lion, and it is a little more dangerous now, but I have to persist and be confident, this is a mighty feeling.

2. Invading the Sports Complex

Eating somewhere in a public place, but after that we go to a second place, night. Cafe. N wants to go there for a specific reason, but when we get there it is no longer there.
In between we are waiting on the parking lot, it is late.
When we enter the second establishment, it looks like a combination of a Chinese restaurant and the Fnac, stairs to go in, stone. Then restaurant which I thought would be a pub, has two sections, front and back, but we immediately go to the front, we are a handful of people, N is leading. I think the tables here are too well dressed, this is too posh, I am not prepared for this and feel uncomfortable. I like casual.

When we leave the restaurant we split up, I have to follow a very specific route, but it is already late. One lady who was with us goes ahead, and then follows a part of dream in which I am not present but I see what happens with the lady. She walks beside a cliff on the right and on the left is a small river or brook with very clear water, and she skims the river with her blown up yellow orange boat. But then I see the life boat going alone with her with the current, and she has stepped out of it, and this means she loses her means of transport and she will be late, but apparently she found something worthwhile on the side. Something caught her attention, maybe flowers, and she takes her time.
Because I fear for her and her boat, this is where I come in the scene, as if I am teleported there, and someone else comes with me, also a woman. We follow her along the the path, a little further on the right is a sports complex. We want to go there, that is the two women want to, but I don't because it is private and it is late and we are surely not allowed to go there. Now this is in the country side, and the path is fully on the land, trees like a lane, then on our right is still a height, but it is a field, with nothing on it, just earth. And then the parking lot, the front of the building, the complex itself, and behind that visible to us is also a cafe connected to the complex. There is still light and people about. All those people know each other, we would stand out.
The two women know as well as I do that we can't have anyone see us, but the two of them are jogging towards the complex, thinking that if they jog, they look like people who belong here. N is also here now and he knows the way. There are different ways to approach the complex, public and secret.
Of course, soon enough the people see us, and they try to stop us. I can't remember what the reason was why these two ladies wanted to go in so badly. (Here I can't read my notes). 
Something something, and the authorities of the place come, maybe one or two persons, and they want us to explain. I comply and go behind the building, rather calm and knowing that things will now turn out the right way. I can't remember how the two ladies reacted, anyway, behind the building was the pub and I sit there and wait and there are other people there. And about there does the dream stop.

3. Cast Iron Train

We are on the train. My brother N is there. We sit next to each other, he on my left, and a third person is on his left, and this person we know, or I know him, although it is a coincidence that he is here. Someone called Robin, although sometimes the name Johan comes to mind. Someone of my schooltime?
Later we enter a second train, which is a little unusual, but the same thing happens. My brother and I sit next to each other, and there happens to be a third person, sitting on the left of my brother, and I know him too, this is purely accidental. This person is called Hans. And N might sometimes be Bale.

The beginning of the dream is in someone's living room, some workshop or other. It is late, like at a wedding (?). Stco is also there, and my parents.
This is something that has to do with our family, we have to leave. N and me are first of all with the car. Light, horizon type of dream. We take a long turn left, the road curves that is. Another car was in front of us for a moment, you can't see behind the curve, I had not expected this, but this is the only possible way and my brothers knows it.
Then we arrive at the station and hurry to catch our train, N has a ticket.
The station is a very wide place, under roof, we walk a whole end, hurry, then come to the place where we have to choose our path, although the way to the platforms is still far away, but one corridor leads of to the right, this is to platform 6 and 7. 8&9 and the next one are straight through. N walks through, because he is in a hurry. There are people sitting on our left at this place, because there is some kind of cafe. At first I follow my brother because I trust that he knows the way and I don't take initiative, but then I see we will go to far and I stop him and ask him which platform we have to go to, again, because I already knew, and I was paying attention. We have to go to platform 7b, and this is in the neighbourhood of 6, but 6 and 7 are together. All this is not clear in the first instance. The corridors are signposted in yellow and blue, but the yellow stands out. But then I stop my brother and tell him we have to go to the right, and he follows, and it is the right way.
We catch the train, N is tired. I say something about being tired, and he replies that in order to overcome his exhaustion he keeps working or works more, that this is his remedy, and in the short run it works, but I know it does not last, no long term solution.
So this is the first train, and this one goes, underground, to the very end of the tracks, rails. Still underground, and we see the end of the tracks, there is only some kind of platform beyond it. Three different tracks end here, and changes of tracks are possible here too.
When we arrive here we have to look for our second train. And we look for the right track. Then after a while we suddenly see the coal black train, which is only the locomotive and a sort of wagon behind it, the vehicle is solid, and solid black, and to the touch it feels like cast iron, and it is very hard to approach, and it is also massive, which means that you cannot go in it, and we go to the back, which is where the wagon is and sit on a ridge outside. And so we end up with this third person who also sits there.
We climb on the coal train. N takes the initiative. Train arrives, we go to the back to look for seats. There are no doors, no windows. I assume the train is driven by a ghost or by the intelligence of the train or stone or iron itself.
Something about taiji practice.
But about here is where the dream ends.

4. Book on Ancient Mammals

Mefa and Woli and I go to a place, looks like Stuk or Fnac, but avoiding something (I avoid something?), because something something me behind the counter. I suppose I am trying to avoid Woli and Mefa. Of course, Mefa comes my way because he wants to order something, Swaffel beer, five of them, five pints, I don't know what he means, I don't know the brand. He something something help.
Later, something something (can't read notes).
Later among the tables, we look for a table, Mefa found a table, not much room to go between the tables, I am still standing, so is Woli, he turns around and sees Selah Sue, and I already knew she was there, but he says: hey, Selah Sue, to point our attention to it. I ignore him. She is behind me.
I eat something, and get from Mefa a book about prehistoric animals. In the book something something rhinoceros. He eats something something, later, something something, I first something something. And something (can't read notes).
