Crystal Workshop

1. Entering Dusk

I am on a secret mission to outsmart the enemy. I'm not alone but with three or four others, in a car, outside.
When we pack, I pack my badminton racket, this we do inside. One of the younger fellows follows my example and packs his racket, but the seniors don't and when I am thinking more rationally, I can't see anymore why I want to take the racket. I want to take many other things. At first my paper shopping bag, as if for clothes, is empty, but one thing after another I put in it, not so many, because it still looks empty when I put the racket in it, I leave it in it.
I am the leader of this gang.
Later inside, home is house of parents, mother is there, there are books everywhere, like a library, with many floors, the upstairs floor, though I don't come there I can see it, it is full of bookshelves, light. I am looking for a particular book. But no one can know I am reading it, since it is forbidden. Some book, too, about the planet Earth. And in fact, the beginning of the dream was SF, though I can't remember it.
Downstairs with mother, it is time for her evening nap and I am about to go outside, I better, so I don't bother her. But all the time before I leave I need to check on something with her and ask her this or that, and she must answer so that I involuntarily prevent that she can go and take a nap, this is either in the kitchen or in the dining room. So I interrupt her every time.
Now I leave, and in the kitchen already I see the outside skies, which have turned from day to a soft rosy colour, and now when I am going outside it becomes dusk. And in the dream the whole while with my mother I see these colours change so I know that time is passing. It is almost dark when I go out, but not yet completely.
Now I go outside peace comes over me, and I know my dad will soon arrive from work.
When I am in the garage, which I have to pass to go outside, there are others there and I decide to play with them, they must be playing games. I stay close to the kitchen door, and by the drawer in the neighbourhood I kneel and I have a paper with example colours, rather artisty, and I need those colours to label things, though I can't remember what. Moreover, when I focus on this job, I am not aware of any other people anymore. And I start with cutting out the top colour, which is a patch of orange no bigger than my the top section of my pinky. I can choose my favourite colours myself. This is the end of that fragment.

But I think the dream continues.
I'm suddenly involved in some Japanese ritual, with three others, I only participate a little, and not fully focused, I am not supposed to be here. Because I am not something something (can't read).
Three people, among which me stand in three of the four corners, I think the west is missing (but might be north), I am in the east (south), and one person is in the centre turning to each of us and doing the actual rite, and I think she is happy I join, even if I don't actively participate, because it would be more difficult still with one person less to represent the quarters. And she is a mature woman, with long brown hair, I seem to know her from somewhere. At the end of it, she turns to everyone and gives each a kiss, then she comes to me and I know what is coming because I know the ritual, though I'm not sure whether it is appropriate for me to kiss her on the lips, but she does it for me, and I say a formula: luwatuwa (which is my rational mind waking up), because I heard the other people say something like a closing formula, but different, I pick this formula because it is personal and because it expresses my bond to the Northern tradition, even if this is a Japanese ritual. The other two are not happy I am participating and not happy that I say those words, but I don't think they understand the meaning. All the time rather dark, dusk.
After that I go back inside.

2. Apples, Steel Hammer and Rails

Something I can't read.
Then SF film, recommended by my brother N. I want to watch it. I want the others to watch it with me, so it takes a while.
In the dream, Bale is the wife of D, but there is a fragment of dream, where the situation is this that I will stay overnight with them, but I cannot but stay with them in the same bed, and she and I somewhat look forward to be naked next to each other and have some sex maybe, but later in the dream I think that if D will be there in the same bed, that will be rather awkward and I should not do it.
The bed is on the upper floor and the room is a small cabin within a larger room.
There is something that I am investigating.
At some point in the dream I am in a place that looks like the kitchen of my parents, and I have a bunch of fruit with me, maybe it was on the floor, but it was this that I came for, and there not only apples, but also tomatoes, which I think is normal. I get unsuspected help from my dad, who comes behind me and carries some fruit, or picks up what fell on the floor. Oranges too.
Something about poison, and notes I can't read.
Some later fragment somewhere else, ground floor, back side of building, open on one side like a hangar, but smaller, and an open gate to another room which is more private and has more things strewn about the floor, which is all mine. But the people entering are hostile and it is their place too, or maybe they claim this. (Can't read all of my notes).
When a confrontation happens, I tell them to hold on, step back into the back chamber with the metal treasures, and bring forth some sort of weird hammer, but it is completely made of iron and possibly used for smithing. I show them this, and it should put fear in them, because they are all armed and ready to fight.
And I take something else and from the chamber, though they stand in the big grey concrete hall, I demonstrate the power of the club and bring the hammer down on the anvil maybe, and smash it. It is a battle hammer.
And they want to occupy this place. (Can't read notes). There's a woman among them, and either she is the leader, or she has ears for me.
(Then fragment of apples maybe?).
Later in the same dream, I go to class on my bicycle, and this is in Herent, but a very different side than usual, by the Vaart, canal. There is a shorter way, but one of the women here does not believe me. The place we are in is lush, nature, we are on a height, the whole path is, but soon enough I realize that tracks run on this, of a train, and on the other side too. Country side on the left, and on the right are buildings and one street after the other leading into the centre, and we must take one of those, and I know a shortcut, and am trying to discern the right street, but this woman does not believe me and wants to go the conventional way, which is further up. Green grass.
Anyway it is difficult to get to the civilized part, because there are ditches. Other people are with us, and they leave it open whether there is a shortcut or not. I want to prove it and jump to the streets, but first I have to climb the tracks, and I don't even get over the first set of rails, which is a problem, because just when I decide to do that I see a train, locomotive only, come from my right, blue, and rather fluffy, but I think I will have plenty of time, and I also see the locomotive slow down. I'm crawling on my belly to get across it, and there will be a second track to cross and then a ditch to jump, but I can't do the first one at all, so after a while I give up and go back. There was nothing I could do about that. And I think everyone is relieved.
Later we all take the same route, normal route. Light.

3. Another Workshop on Crystals

Elbe is driving and I am in the car, she is taking me to the crystal workshop with Vebt. Highway, lucid. Or we happen to pass by the centre where Vebt gave her workshop and decide to stop. We don't go in in the front door but go by the windows to see whether anyone is there. And yes, we can see Vebt, and of course she can see us through the windows.
Then we enter on the right, via the windows and stay there in the corner. She is preparing for a workshop. We have a lot of papers or she hands out some to us, and we read it, then we are interested, and I have already decided to stay, even if it is on the background in the corner where I hope no one will see me, but Elbe would continue her own way, but after a while she decides to stay anyway, which surprises me, and she walks up to one of the chairs, black or dark, and sits down, she has a place among these people, and I do not, so I stay in the corner. A few others are here and I recognize all their faces from the workshop. And there are more men this time, and a lot more chairs than last time, but not all of them are occupied yet because it is still very early.
After a short while I decide to join and claim a chair, and I see a good seat but the people around it change, and so I end up next to Elbe, which she might not want, since she might want to be there in her own right. Vebt started, but then leaves the room and it takes a very long time before she returns, and I don't think I see her return in the rest of the dream.
Krvh is also there, and I am surprised to see her, and thought I could have gone with her or I think maybe she is thinking that I should have asked her to get me here.
I sit myself in another chair, on the right. But she's given me ten euro, I don't know why, and I suppose I will be needing it, and later I think that this will be subtracted from the total price which I can now only imagine I will pay with a transfer.
Also someone who assists Vebt, now that she left, deals out boxes, we get two, those who are present, one big and one small, long. And they are open and I see metal bars and so on in it and I suspect this is something from Ikea, but I don't understand why. The girl dealing these out says that you can put the small box in the large one and that will be easier to carry, and although I don't need or want her help, she demonstrates with my boxes and I leave it at that.
I am now relaxed and view the room, behind me is the table and I see it is made ready to eat, with knives and forks and spoons, but they are only drawn on the table. And I also see people draw these, and the lines around the actual cutlery are so wide that the end result does not look very good, but you can still recognize the utensils in the line drawing.
When I turned, there was also a cat, young one, blue, and she wants my attention, at first it is not clear, though I understand immediately. But I have something in my hands, maybe reading something, so I can't give the cat attention, and I think I will do it later, because now I can't do both at the same time, and I cannot put aside my reading, because it is as if glued on my hands, but I don't care.
When the little cat starts to push my feet more with its head, the others see it, and I say something about it, but I am reading.
The radio is too loud at this point, and the text I am now reading, at the end, is about dreams, all blogs, and this is another sheet that Vebt let deal out, and I am not among it, which disappoints me, but on the other hand I couldn't reveal it anyway because it is too personal, not just for me but also for the people involved. 
Something else about the cat, because there is some sort of computer behind me and I type in Heliotrope Cat, and press enter one too many times and a bunch of them appears on the screen, which happened involuntarily, and an Egyptian sign that looks like Laguz, but is more round that ends it. But this is when I am already waking up. End of dream.
