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.

Returning

1. Mathematical Dancing

The first part where I join anyway has to do with dancing. Pillars in the room and I am at one to lean back, a girl is dancing, but others soon follow and some sort of class is started. Everyone who joins has to wear a special pullover or t-shirt, mostly white. Even when I'm still not joining I wear that t-shirt at some point and I feel naked, but maybe I am not wearing pants anymore.
They do some position of taiji, but still I am not inclined to join. We were a group of five coming in, among which a brother and a sister. They both have the same eyes, and I look at the sister two times to see those eyes, because they are really special, and she is really beautiful, long brown hair, tall, strong personality but of few words, as her brother. I watch her, don't know her, don't know what she will think if I watch her, so I keep my eyes off. She goes to the dancing floor which is behind the pillars, after a certain while. I am sure this is the reason why she came.
Once the people dance in group, she is always in the front and leading, but a man is teaching. They are practicing some choreography. They dance the width of the hall and go to a certain direction indirectly, and in the middle of the end wall, there is according to the story of the dance a cash machine.
I'm not sure anymore whether I joined or not, but afterwards I give some comment towards the teacher, because I think the dancing practice they way he teaches is rather mathematical. And he says that it is not, it cannot be and he says it cannot be the other extreme either, but I don't remember the word he used for that, spontaneity perhaps. So he means to balance each aspect, but I only saw the one.


2. Eating Out

Inside, Frre is there, eating. Then coming back from there. This must be some kind of restaurant and we were supposed to eat here with all the colleagues.
The room of the restaurant is light, big, we are on the right side. Behind me are the kitchens. Our table has some few seats free, someone sits on my right, but no one on my left, and maybe three people sit in front of me. Opposite me is a blond guy, maybe my age or a little older, who I don't know. I sometimes am familiar and take things from his plate and eat it, but by the time I am finishing mine, he does the same and I am a little shocked, while the others at the table think that is a good joke.
When we finish and leave the place we pass through the hallway, but there are a few tables too, maybe three, each behind the other, and on that table sit some of the other colleagues, those of Diestse, among which Inro. Atmosphere here is warm and cosy, soft red light, wood, not too bright. That is about where the dream ends, because even if we now know they are here and still here, we decided to go and we can't come back on that decision.


3.  Giant Spider

Walk outside, we come to a piece of wood, have to climb a little first, the trees are rather chaotic or disorderly, only a small piece of wood, Anle and Svdb are here.
We pass through the wood and come to the backside of some rural gardens. Bale is also here. And when we've walked some way, possibly to where civilization begins, we turn back, and I had seen on the way here some herbs, so when we pass again, I say, look there is mugwort, and tansy. I saw tansy first, many of them, and I point it out to Bale.
A little behind those gardens starts a piece of wood again, old branches, forest floor, trees here and there, shade. In response to what I said Bale points to a tree that has fallen a long time ago, but not such a big tree, and maybe walnut, and she says: there, vogellijm. This is mistletoe. That would be a sight so I go over there and she goes too, but I can't see it. It is difficult to see, because the tree has fallen, but big evergreen leathery leaves still cling to the tree, so I don't see it. Meanwhile I answer her: Had I known that, is of the (can't read notes).
But when we approach the bush we both spot a big spider on the tree. I recognize is as a normal spider, only it is unusually big, its head is as big as a man's chest, and with the legs the spider looks even bigger. Some red and ruddy colours, otherwise dark, maybe greys and black, legs are certainly black, and very thing, skinny. Is first reaction is to hide, and it crawls over the tree trunk a little to reposition away from us, but is still there. We don't move. This is a frightening sight. And we are careful. The spider moves again, but it stays there, we don't come any closer. That is the end of this fragment.

4. Missed a Turn

I'm in Herent, returning from somewhere, driving a car or maybe even a bus, but if I do it is empty, because I am returning. And when the dream starts I am in the centre already and I can't orient myself immediately, but I am looking for the right street to turn which must be here somewhere, but when I get my bearing, and the surroundings become very clear I see that I have just passed the street where I should have gone left. I had seen the street and recognized it, but because I did not know exactly where I was I kept driving and only realized when I recognized the rest of my surroundings.
In retrospect I must have come from the Oudstrijdersstraat toward the street of my parents.
Now I continue, and I think I will go directly to my parents. Then I pass the supermarket which is almost at the end of the street in which I am now and is on my left, and I slow down, and a car leaves the place, and because of that I see that the entry towards the parking lot is broken up, but people are on the terrain and I go in, and when I do I am thinking that I might as well use the space here to turn back and then I can still go back and find the right way, I have not wandered too far yet.
But when I drive on to the parking lot I see two cars parked and people standing beside those and I know them, they are Anle and Svdb with their young children, and A&D. They are ready to pack and leave for a vacation, that you can see. And I think, I'm sure they see me, so I can't just pass them like that and have to say hello, so I stop, but they had not seen me yet, so I am taking the initiative, and I say hello, even if they have not much time. And it is clear that they are packing to leave for holiday together. I think that is nice and would have gone with them, but I am not invited and I have other business too.
Can't remember what happened next. Maybe I talked to Svdb. I must have talked to him and Anle.
This happened too, by the end. Many other people gathered there. Svdb was at the front of the car, which is a big car with lots of space, station wagon, and dark colour, maybe black. And all of us, Anle and the bystanders are behind, and the back door is open for all the luggage, but now Svdb says he will close it, which he does from the front of the car, but people are standing underneath the rear hatch. And I see how it comes down slowly, but no one has heard Svdb's warning, and the hatch bumps slightly against the top of the head of the tallest person, who is a man, and might be one of Anle's students. Even now people don't really move, and the hatch goes down a little further and the same happens, and I'm not sure what happens next, but I think Anle was not happy with the way Svdb did things, and I am trying to help people. Maybe here the dream ended.

5. Midnight Wedding

First inside, house of parents, they are making ready, and are waiting, maybe because the ordered lunch or something, but I stay in the living room, out of their way and keeping myself busy. They are either in the kitchen or in the bathroom, and running to and fro. At some point, because the waiting is long, I go to my room and get my small laptop, notebook, out and intend to do some work in the meanwhile.
One everyone is there we leave.
Next scene. Central square in Herent, which does not really exist, possibly Mechelsesteenweg, middle of the night. I am there with my parents and we are waiting for D and N. We are preparing for the wedding. I should have come with D and N, but because of circumstances I could not. And they have a lot of fun, and even now we have to wait for them, but we can check in into the hotel already. I was not aware this had to be done, but everyone else of the family seems to have done it. I am not worried about it.
We are now in the middle of the night, though there is light. In the meantime I realize that I am the only one who has not booked a room. The hotel itself is on the left, and the reception is a small place, and I am inside, but the moment I decide I would register myself, something happens and I don't, maybe because my brothers arrived. And we all go outside. D&S are there and N is merry. 
In fact I did not have the time to book a room. Almost toward the end, when we all decide to leave to go to the place where the party is, I go into the other building, which is on the right and more toward the square, and ask them if they still have a room available. They check but say that all is booked, and I say: no worries, I will find some place anyway. And I am not worried at all, and when I would not find anything I can still go to my parents' place. The doors of both places are open all the time.
There is loud music, family, D&S.


6. Boring Story as Introduction to Someone's Initiation

Maybe the same dream as dream 3. Later.
Inside, other people, listening to a story, the first half is very boring and takes too long, but it is needed to explain the second part, so I readily associate it with initiation. The story is about the family Duck, in particular about Kwekkelien (Gosalyn), the young female duck. Light, closed, seats arranged as for a talk, other room behind us. Small rooms.
This is not meant for me, but I am undergoing it willingly anyway. Something something for someone else. Later the same thing is repeated all over again, but this time without me.

  1. Interpretation.
    Dream 2,3&4. Returning seems to be a returning theme in the dreams. I looked up some Sumerian words yesterday, among which gi4, which means 'to return' and has special meaning to me, because gigi in Sumerian means to me to return to its original state. I had a crystal under the bed at my feet to heal my holes, and maybe this returning means that I will finally come to the stage where I am the same person again from before I burnt out.

    Residue.
    Dream 3. Spider is a residue of the spider in the bath yesterday while I wanted to wash my feet, and I did my best to guide her on a piece of cloth and remover her. So, she was scared but I saved her.
    Dream 2. Eating out with the colleagues is a residue of Thursday. Frre in particular since she asked me about the Monday as well when she wanted to come along to the fair, but because of a misunderstanding she went home.
    Dream 1. This girl reminds me of Elbr, but it was certainly not her and I don't think it refers to her, but she might represent what happened two days ago, as the unknown girl invited me into her house, and yesterday when I went home from taiji practice and a girl was also going home and looked an instant at me. I don't know.
    Dream 4. This seems to be connected to numer 67 two days ago.
    Dream 6. Seems to be a residue of Dapa asking me for the London Althing.
    Dream 3. Herbs, all three of them, are a residue of looking up something about those herbs in the library.

    Interpretation.
    Dream 6. This reminds of how I do the mead of poetry talk, I have to go through the story first before I can do the working.
    Dream 5. This seems to represent my dependence on my parents, which in the future might become a problem.
    Dream 3. The woods and trees were so sparse and shaggy that I felt sorry for them. Possibly this reflects my own health condition.

  2. Interpretation.
    Dream 6. Related to my time spent on reading on Voluspa while I wanted to write about it.
    Dream 3. Read something somewhere about a spider that could not be spotted, because it hid behind its legs?
