1. Wedding for Married Couples
(Wet Dream)

Location of a party, and afterward I run through the town streets on my own in a hurry, because there is just a lot to do. Light, and these are the back streets, though it may be night, streets mostly deserted, but not all the time, reminds me of Oudstrijdersstraat. I think some young kids follow me sometimes.
Now I am a guest in Herent somewhere, N is there, and there is a wedding and I am invited.
Ludr is there, she is a neighbour of parents. I come to this place because I am invited, but feel a stranger among the many people about, even if I know them, because some were neighbours once, and my own family is here, parents and brothers. Where I enter is behind the facade of a large building, like that of a school, then where I am now is like a playground, there is to the right (in the dream the front) a terrace with people waiting. To my left there are steps down to another playground with the shade of trees, and this is the actual entrance to the party and I am near it. N is still at the first level, but he can move freely and has been here long. I am not late, but many people are already here.
I do what I think I should which is entering, but before I am halted by Ludr, who stands near me and was approaching the gate, because there is a queue to go inside to the nether playground. And she addresses me asking me casually if my situation has changed: are you married? She means if I have married since last time I saw her, which would be possible, since it has been a very long time that I saw her, but no I am here alone, and she knows well enough that I am single. She explains or implies that only married people can go in. I'm confused. I am actually angry, upset with her. And I go on anyway, because I have a right. Hafr is also here.
I continue and mix with the people, I have to look out for my brother N, because he is chasing me, and I don't want that. Maybe the early part of the dream was much like that, and it only continues here. I run away from him.
Among other things I have to do the press (?), and there are four tasks I have to fulfill and I have to fulfill them everytime. That is what I am so busy with. 
This party may be the wedding of Stco, who was also a neighbour once.
My mother is there, and she is angry at me, and I walk away from her. Can't remember well why she is angry. Because I run away I come in the hall where the children are left behind while the grown-ups do this party. This is to the right (front) of the second playground. Still light and sunny.
All the children look up, surprised, and remain distant. They even look scared, when they see me.
I know I can't stay here, so I go back and away, back up to the first playground, and try to remember my way how I came here, and I make a real effort to visualize the town and the streets, things are blue and vague as if I imagine things, but in the meanwhile I am outside, and I make a real effort to go along the streets up and to the left, but it takes me so much effort that I have to crawl, not really over ground, but rather hovering. I really want to get away, and do my best to follow a path I know leads somewhere.
At some point the dream becomes normal again, and I find a place to enter in a back alley, or a larger street, but the place is small, and cramped when I look in it, because people are there waiting. And it looks like a wellness centre, but I know the place. 
I enter this place, because I see naked ladies, but I am not allowed, surely because this place has separate quarters for men and women. They are all waiting to be treated. I squirm my way in anyway, and because I don't want to entice the anger of those girls and women, I try to leave the place as soon as I can. I see a door to the left. All is white, they are browned, they have white towels, you enter this small cabin immediately through the front door, but I see to the left another door that leads inside and it stands a little ajar, and this is my only way to get away from the ladies and be polite, so I go there.
Now I enter the room where the men are treated. Nothing but naked men. This place is much bigger, and something is funny. Two people oversee this, and they are at the other wall, behind a counter, a man and a woman, she is the only woman here. I think I see a door far away in the left opposite corner which might be the regular entry for this room. All the men have towels too, but some are stark naked. All are treated, and there is a lot of water, like this is one big complex shower. Some are halfway in a bath, one sits in a shower like he is drunk. There is something slightly off here, and I suspect the woman who is in charge is the cause, as if to keep the men under her thumb. And so on. All of them seem to have lost will. This is not a good place for me to stay. The water is clear and flows abundantly, that is the only thing I like. But I continue to the right, behind where the ladies room was, to see if I can go on. They look very vulnerable.
When I continue to see what is behind, I see only more men and shake my head, I have to go back. Again effort, and this is a rather lucid decision that I make. And I look for the room with the ladies again, venture forth, find them, and cannot go further than the first girl I see, naked, back to me, towel around her waist. Yet I stand behind her and take her from behind and feel it coming but I can't hold it back, and let it got. This is a wet dream.

2. Future Article

Fragment in which I see or find the new edition of the Viking magazine that I write for, with the blue cover. Possibly in my home. Since this is the new one and I have not written an article yet, I am curious whether there would be an article by me in it. I want to look at it.

3. Loyalty Card

First part of the dream lost to me.
Then in the shop. Busy. Light. I know I have a sweater or fleece lying about, and the weather is cold, so I go and wear it. It lies behind me, but it is a different one than I remember, but I put it on, this one is a bit stiff and too warm in fact. It reminds me of my winter coat, but more lean. Yet then I also open a window, the shop does not have such a one in reality, but it is the same window as I have in my apartment. When I do that, this is on my right, I see also that one of the doors is open and I think that is a good idea. The door must have been open the whole time, this is the right door. And that might have been why I was cold, but the window I open for fresh air.
I'm back at the till, a few customers are there but I don't feel the pressure. A young woman first and I help her. An older woman after her, but she smiles, and I think I know her as a customer who is friendly and understands patience. Someone else behind them. The young woman hands me a book she wants to buy, she wants an invoice and the book made as a present, no problem. She goes to where she can pay with the card. Then she says something, about how it must be wrapped, or what must be entered as an accompanying phrase on the invoice or in the computer at least to register the present, somehow. The other customer is listening. I can't remember exactly, but she says something about God. And I am thinking, this I can't do, she must mean 'gods', but I realize that most people around will only be familiar with the one God, so I think hard. At first I shake my head and discuss things in a friendly way and joking about it, while I try typing things in the box on my screen where it should go, and then I find a better expression, and I ask her what she thinks about it: God offers this present. Something like that. Formulated like that it is less distant than what she said. And she agrees, but changes it again, but I can't remember. And I tell her in passing, that I'm sure God would not eat meat. Maybe the book is a cookbook, with meat recipes, I'm not sure, maybe it was just the way she expressed herself at first that associated god with eating meat in my mind, which cannot be correct. I change it again and it becomes a long phrase when I enter it. The other lady nods all the while, she understands and thinks I'm doing a good job, but I can't rightaway tell them that I can't associate with their concept of God anymore.

When they are gone, another customer comes. Before that, or in between then, I was working on my own, at the till, and had spread all the necessary papers in front of me on the counter, I can't remember what it all was, but I have to make some room when the customer comes, he has a pile of books. And has a wife with him. And then there is also Liha who comes up from the basement and brings me a book, though it is not clear what I should do with it. But I take it and try to check it out via the till, but it does not work, then I understand. This is something only I can solve. The book misses the cover, or is bound wrongly from back to cover. The title is very clear: Kettricken. The whole book is about her. I take a look, interested and intruigued, but wonder what can be in it that won't be in the other books. When I try to scan it, it does not work, the price is wrong. When I type in the ean code, it does not work, it says on the computer the book is sold out, like this: U U. And the ean code is also split in sections of numbers, too old to be still updated. So I will have to use another method and will look for it. That is when the customer comes, and I put the book and thought aside. And take their books.
I ask him whether he wants a loyalty card. And he says yes, and I understand he is from Holland. Tall man, slightly bearded, brown hair. I had scanned the card, and then the books, but before he pays, lots of things are on the counter, among which his own leather purse (etui), he hands me another card, and I scan it but then I realize something and recognize this is a 10 percent card, I can't give him that. And I try to void the transaction, but then the computer does something weird, as if the programs are updated and I am not informed yet, a new window pops up and suggests what I can do with the transaction and the discount given, and I try to follow its directions, but it complicates things, and I have to void the whole thing anyway. I tell the man sorry, and take the books out of the plastic bag again and tell him I have to scan things again, he is okay. I do it, but the computer remembered the discount given and things go wrong again. This all takes a lot of time and now the customer is a bit unnerved. I stay very calm and tell him I will have to do it a third time. Now I will do it my way, properly and clean.
In the meanwhile, another colleague comes when I was busy with the books and doing something with them, so it appeared that the till was free and this colleague comes and stands at my till and I tell her to go to the other one, because I'd like to finish things here, though it could as well have been at the other till. But she listens and moves. She brought a customer with me, which tells me she had just helped this customer and now will settle the bill with her. The funny thing is that I don't know this colleague, and I realize this in the dream. She is middle age, woman, a little shorter than me, blond hair, short, smiling, friendly, easy with the computer. She reminds me of different people.
When I check the books of the Dutch customer a third time that is when the dream ends.
