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.

Wrapping Paper with a Zip

1. Exam and Zipped Wrapping Paper

Late, already nighttime, I want to help somebody with making a package. This is one of the tasks that we were set, to wrap something up. There is a girl who has trouble with it, so I help.
The scene itself changes a little from time to time. Big classroom to take examinations or living room of parents. And the examinations room changes appearance too. First light, later dark.
Tables, other people working. We all got two plastic bags as our exam. I have mine and sit down at a table. One person per table. The girl is in the background and doing something else, because something else is happening at the same time, which I now can't remember. But now all these people in front of me are also taking the exam. It is puzzling, and I see everyone bent idle over their bags.
They are plastic shopping bags, maybe of the shop where I work. I have a sheet of paper too. The purpose is to make a list of everything that is in the bag, but in a certain order, but I can't remember the details.
When you first look at the bags you see that they are filled with other plastic bags, and that is why everyone thinks there is nothing in it. The sheet of paper is coloured, or has some design on it to help us make the list.
Zealous I take the plastic out of the bag and then I see there is something in it, hidden. I take it out, there are lots of small things. Now the others see this, the one closest to me sees it and takes stuff out of his bag out too. I can't remember what's in it, but I want to write it down, and then remember to do it very accurately, and then I first sort all the things and start to make the list in my head, but so long as I don't know what should be first item I can't write it down.
Later I wrap up presents, this is in a different area, though it must be the same room. Now people are standing. D is there, and maybe N. And things are going on that I don't know about or I forgot. But I can concentrate on this wrapping paper which must also be done, and I can do it. I wrap up one thing and then I see that the wrapping paper is in fact made of cloth and there is a zip too, so I zip it.
Stuff happens that I can't remember. Then later I also make the present of this girl, wrap it up, and once it is wrapped I see there is a zip again, so I zip it, and I see that the t-shirt or whatever it is, has not been wrapped well around the book or whatever, but that is okay. I turn it around, and two more zips are there. The girl had no time for this, that was the reason. So the paper turns into cloth once it wraps something. This was at the dining table at home of parents, last scene of the dream.

2. Mission to Crossroads Aborted

Street of parents. I follow it. I want to go to the t-crossing, at this strange hour. It is New Year's Eve, and night. By the time I get to the house of Stco's parents, I see other people going the same way and I'm annoyed, because I wanted solitude. What's more, they are all slow, because there is a tractor in front. Now we are at the beginning of the field track itself. I can't imagine what the tractor is doing here, but it goes very slow. I could pass on the left and go to the t-crossing, but I don't because I would not be able to get back, certainly not at a time of my own choosing, and also, I would still be bothered by it when I am there, because it must pass there. That was the end of a dream.
The tractor was low and yellow. And a car was waiting too, and someone else.

3. Lion Cat

Inside, a little dark, don't know where. Bale is there, and her cat V too. And I see the cat and she is much bigger and has the manes of a lion, almost, but it is still cat like, though I say something about it to Bale. V is very playful which I did not expect and seems very happy. She goes this way and that. And then goes back to her boss, Bale, who sits on a chair.

4. Bad Guys of Maya

Brdk is telling some story. Long table, door on my left, I'm in the middle of the table, people come to my right, they are Spanish, and are exploring Dutch culture, and are looking up something about Maya the Bee, and some other things, such as the Smurfs. And there are three images on the screen, but they can't read the names, so I come closer to inspect, but they are right, you can only read the middle one. I take the images out and they are then figurines. These three are in particular the bad guys of the series. Black. And I try to read the names that are written above them. The one on the left is Silfrpartitem, and at that moment I'm not sure at all if this is right, because there seemed to be so many consonants in the name that I was rather unable to pronounce it. The other on the right was easier, it was Grade, although at first it was something else, which I don't remember.
Joha sits on this table, all the way on the left in the corner, opposite of me.


5. Stones at Sea

Fragment of dream, dark, we are out at the beach, the old friend club, Ande is already near the water, to the right, I am next, the rest stays behind, which should be Bale and Elbe and their partners. I go to the sea. There is first an area with rocks or pebbles. The stones are as big as a fist, all the same size, and almost round or oval, white, or a light colour. I find that curious, which is why I go near and inspect. Not a word is said. I also don't interact with the others.

6. Cold Bath

Maybe hypnagogic. When I wake up I am in bath, but I entered the bath when I woke up first, which was an hour ago, so the water is called. I'm in a room next to the street, and all is open, so not really a room, no roof. I have a television set hung up in the right corner and I watch it. I remind myself to get up and note my dreams. It takes me a real effort to leave the tub.
Once I go out, I am at the foot end of the tub, the room is as small as the bath tub. My white socks are there, but before I put them on I use those to pen down key words to remember the dreams. Then tourists pass by, and they have to pass where I am sitting. I must be naked, but they just pass, and I try to ignore them.
I can't remember what happened next, but it won't be much.

  1. When the alarm went off I remembered nothing. I stayed for a while, and then some things trickled back to memory. Then I slept for another hour, which produced dream 6 for sure, but maybe dream 4 and 5 too.

    Residue.
    Dream 4. Joja residue of seeing him yesterday.
    Dream 5. Stones may be residue of watching a certain anime yesterday, last one before bed.

    Interpretation.
    Dream 4. Maya may be interpreted as 'illusion', certainly in connection to bad guys.
    Dream 2. Aborted effort means that I don't pursue an intention.
    Dream 6. Cold bath might mean that I let a chance in regards to emotional world pass without acting.

  2. Residue.
    Dream 5. The stones at sea is a residue of reading the Ilias, which plays at sea, at the ships, this is what I have been reading today. And stones feature prominently in the book as weapon.
    Dream 3. Lion may also be a residue of reading Ilias. Lion sometimes used as metaphor. Read about it today a lot.

    Interpretation.
    Dream 5. This may refer to my meeting with Anpi, which was incidental. I went to where she works, but did not know she was working. This was a peaceful and short meeting.
    Dream 6. Maybe anticipation of fact that I took a bath today.

    I don't know what the rest means.
