1. Climbing Frame Chairs in the Night
City, part which looks like the end of the Naamsestraat, around the church or begijnhof. I have been summoned. I hang around that area some time, I can't recall what happened before.
Then Jaro is there, and we see at the same time a rack with chairs, which is an interesting contraption of metal, to the side of the street. Very artistic, smooth, bars of pipes of metal, bent and worked into to chairs, but they hover quite a distance above the ground floor.
But both of us get the idea at the same time to climb it, almost instinctively. And we make it to the top, but then a third person that I don't like comes too and joins us. At that point we had just started to eat something, a group of people walks by, it is dark. One of them is behind. They just pass. Across the street is a restaurant.
But we have warm food, most of which is fried, but it tastes nice, and to me it does very well to have some meat. Each of us has a plate with food, but I had already seen the side dishes behind us too. I am not sure what I am allowed to, so I eat my own plate and then stop, while Jaro is more decadent and continues to eat, the same goes for the third person, when he sits between us, he eats more. I shift place, to back behind Jaro, and because I see the other two eat I suppose it is allowed, though I could do with the little I already had, but now I eat from the small things behind me, which is fried meat as well, like chicken wings, but better than usual. Still I am careful and don't eat too much. There is sushi too, very complicated ones. I take from that, it is probably the same as the chicken wings, but changes when you look back. This is when I wanted to go home, which is why I shifted place, but I can't go home (?).
2. Six Tracks
There is a CD of Bjork something something, which is one song, and I play it, but on the back of the cd I see there are six tracks. And I realize I only play track one and two, and the others are not played, but the song lasts so long that it covers the whole length of the six tracks, unless you would interrupt it in a way, for example by accident, which I might have done, and then it naturally continues with the song of the track that should have been playing.
I want to listen. Maybe because it is new. At the same time I'm doing something else. In a room, alone, I think. The back of the cd shows the names of the songs, two are just letters, one is P.
3. Antwerp Train Bus
A large room in which we wait. This is Antwerp, whites, turquoise soft. I am waiting there for a train, though this is not the platform, but a higher place where people assemble and have to go through the gates, such as those for a subway, these are here somewhere. People are waiting here, me too, oblivious of when a train will come or what I shall do.
Then I suddenly see my dad, which I had not expected and he is on his own, and also caught in his own thinking, hurrying about, but I go to him and join, but I suspect that he will go home too, so I can just go with him. So I wait for the train with him.
He still goes his own way, and looks for a way to descend for the platforms, I follow, in front to the left he finds the stairs. He goes down. But when we arrive on the platform, he goes back up, I don't know why, but I see the train, which is a large red double-decker, with his front to the station, which is the end of the rails. So I stay because that is the train I'd like to take. Left platform. Many people already on the train.
This is a model of train I have never seen before, but I trust it anyway. It looks posh.
I get up, look carefully, so many doors which you might enter through. Go in, all seats are taken, there is a girl but I pass her because she might not want me to sit next to her, then I see a young girl, maybe ten or twelve, and sit next to her, me at the window. Somewhat later I see that her mother sits next to her, but at the opposite way.
All the time, from upstairs already, I had a sausage with me, a long thin one and a napkin and a splash of garlic sauce to go with it. Now I sit I eat a little of it.
Once the train leaves I see we take a route through the city and follow the streets and wait for the traffic lights, and after a while I realize that this is not a train but a bus, and that is why my father got back up. After another while we stop at an overground station which looks like a bus stop, but a very big one, and people get off and others get on. And I am thinking, if it is going to be this slow, then it will take forever before I am home, like four hours at least.
At this place however, I meet Bale and R, and I follow them, they are on their way to the railway station. And know a short cut. Once we are in the building, I see it. Because I would have gone straight through, which is the main hall of the station, very old stone and so on, looks a bit like the old station of Antwerp, but they show me a way to the right, which is not used often and the stairs look a bit funny, because some are sports, bars of metal and not real stairs on which you can place your foot. Moreover, some go down and others go up, so it is a challenge to get down. This is to the right and in the corner the stairs turn again and you come to the platforms.
I am careful but I go down and place my feet right everytime, touching the bars with the front of my foot. The other two are not following me. Or at least I am quick and first to arrive downstairs. I can't well explain what these stairs looked like, but it was like a game, a climbing frame almost.
When I get in the big hallway downstairs, there is lots of animation and people about. There is a man near me with a balloon in the shape of a ship and shouts things and I recognize the thing for what it is. It is the Horn of Heimdal and I want to blow it, that must be the challenge of the man. So I go to him without much thinking and take the balloon ship and blow on the end where the air must go in, and I do it well, because this is like a trumpet, but the man had not expected this. A very different sound comes out than usual, than he expected, than the ship is made for, but this is the only way I know. The second time I turn myself to the people around me and see across the whole hall, which looks a bit like King's Cross, and blow again, and people look, and in one breath I blow three times, as if I have no need of breathing, and every time I blow a little higher in pitch, to show I can do that too. That is about where the dream ends. But I enjoyed the ship.
4. Taiji, Dog Tomb, and Snake Woman
Bathroom. And I can't remember the rest. Something like, I am naked, mother has tidied my clothes and ordered them in a closet neatly. I am afraid of something, can't remember what.
Later, a hall, together we are waiting for taiji, car (?). Half an hour before the exact time. But some have left already, with the wife of PK.
The hall is a training hall, and I come in but everyone is already assembled here, like Anle, and Resc, and many others are already gone and have an early training with the wife of PK. But I'm not even sure I want to follow.
So when everyone packs there stuff, PK all the same, then I decide I will go but have to change my clothing or something. I have a bag with stuff with me. Not at first, at first I was a bit clumsy with clothes, even a costume in my hands, not knowing whether I should need it, but taking it with me anyway. Now I don't want to take it and I want to have a rucksack which is smaller and more convenient. So I repack, but all the others are gone outside already and I stay behind.
When I go outside, I see two cars. The one in front has only ladies, but I see there is room and they are still packing the car so I ask the driver if I can go with them, and she says yes. The other car has PK but also is ready to leave, so I let it go. Now I see that the car I joined also already had lots of people in them, to wit four, which means I can just join them.
We drive.
After a while we arrive somewhere, outside, light, bright. This looks like the front of house of parents, but it is an unfamiliar house. We stop there and read the inscriptions on a stone slab by a window. Someone among us must have known the lady who lived here once. But the inscription is dedicated to her dead dog. And a bit further by the door the same. I don't know why we came here. But we linger a bit. Someone at that point consults the runes and Ehwaz and Kenaz come up. I see it but say nothing.
There is another stone, which is meant to say prayers at, and this place is a sight for tourists for some reason.
Then the scene shifts and we are where we need to be, but this is a fun park for children. Many children are about. Lawn. Different areas. From where I'm standing, at least three. And from the higher spot we go downhill. The lot of us together as a group, enter a new area after gawking at everything, and this is where we should find the rest, and we pass a snake, I had known it a long time, but when I see it, it is a woman dressed in the shape of a snake, only the costume is so bit it almost looks like a tree, so tall. And I say to Svdb that I know who that is, and I think he does too, because it is a character from Naruto.
5. Funeral Feast
One of the last dreams. Light, at first in front, at the street side, assembling, father, mother, brothers, me, many other people. After a while we go to the back, place is unfamiliar, but it is the same as the lane next to the house of parents. In the back we go in. There is a long, wide passageway and at the end a room, everywhere people, and preparing for a funeral, which will be held inside the end room, which is square and white and in the middle is the pyre, because it will be a cremation. I have no idea for whom, but everyone thinks this is important. I don't sea the dead person, and though I've been in the funeral room I haven't actually seen the pyre either. Later we go back down through the hallway, which is long and dark now and people are queuing, which means that if we leave now we will have to queue to get back to the room, I don't like that, but I don't intend to return. We decide we have to eat something. I know people at the end of the queue, but just observe. Some tries to skip a few people, but that won't really help him. At that point it is late in the evening, night.
+6. Taiji Sword
In one of the last dreams I walked through the form of taiji sword, quite a long piece, movement after movement, I faltered at the point of Step over Obstacles. But when I did Lion Shakes its Head I aimed each time at the neck of a man nearby, who was also learning.
I could have harvested more dreams tonight, but chose to sleep through a bit more, I took notes three times in the night, and sometimes wondered why I was recording a dream that I did not know the meaning of.
ReplyDeleteResidue.
Dream 5. Residue of reading about a funeral in fiction book yesterday.
Dream 4. Taiji with wife of Pake is a residue of Joja telling me about this, and maybe Tivd last week. Snake woman residue of Naruto which I saw last week, few days ago, can't remember exactly when. Maybe on Thursday.
Dream 3. Antwerp might be a residue of Chwe telling me she would go to Edegem yesterday. Horn of Heimdal residue maybe of copying my notes yesterday, among which about the horn.
Dream 1. The sushi to sample is a residue of a supermarket promoting their sushi yesterday and the day before, they walked through the city, but also came in the shop and I sampled one.
Interpretation.
Dream 1&3. Common theme is the climbing frame, chairs and stairs, up and down.
Dream 4&5. Common theme is funeral.
Dream 4. The person who owned the dog felt like it was one of those acquainted with Kaco, can't remember her name, she's got the bad accent.
Dream 2. The P might relate to the P/Q rune.
Dream 4. The runes spell EK, which means I, and Chwe drew the rune Ehwaz on Saturday, which I was unable to interpret, though it meant affection between two people. But Kenaz is passion.
Dream 3. Red of the train is passion.
Dream 1. The little eating might be because I eat to little. Or if related to sex, then that I need only a little of it. But I should eat more, definitely.
Interpretation.
ReplyDeleteDream 6. Maybe this fragment belongs to dream 4. Though it is not really a fragment, I walked through a long part of the form and was aware of this, and also the sweep lotus was rather powerful. Erel might have been there. I was reminded of the dream when I got down and saw my sword, then forgot it, and was reminded of it a second time when after dinner I decided to go through the form to see if I could still do it, and after three movements I remembered the dream and I did exactly what I did in the dream as if this was one long deja-vu. This is really special, because it is coherent. It might be because I had initially intended to practice yesterday, but because I had a cold and so on I decided not to bring my sword to class. Maybe the spirit came in the dream to practice it there with me, for which I am grateful.
