Spider and Bound Hands

1. In the Kitchen

I'm in a sort of kitchen, but a big one as if for a restaurant or even a refectory, for it was really big, soft lights, Chwe was there and also Brle, and others I know, though we were not so many. Some few things happened, but I don't recall them.
Almost at the end I remember finishing two dishes that were still on the fire, in pans big enough to feed more people than me alone. Two different dishes. One had tomatoes in it and I would stir some concentrate in it, and the other had a cream sauce, like for vol-au-vent. I was overseeing the cooking anyway.
Something else happened after that, but I can't remember. This is a small fragmentary recording of a much larger dream.
I remember having another dream after that with the same people and thoughts in it, but I can't remember any details.

2. Bound and on the Knees

Inside a building which is like a school or university, but with private quarters and I am intimately knowledgeable to them. Many people, of which many students, but of their own will, my age. At some point I go up the stairs and on the next floor are two adjacent rooms, both of which or the rector's. There is something that needs to be done, but I can't now remember what, most of the time I am alone, though I am connected to all those other people, and it seems that I know a little more than the average person, but there are indeed other people who know much more than me, if they know not everything, such as the teachers and staff and so on. But I can't remember well whatever happened there.
Then somewhat later I am opposite those rooms in a big common hall. There is some commotion. Many students are busy with something. I already know I should look out for a few ill meaning types, and they are there in the centre of attention and explaining things to the students and they walk them through instructions which they cannot but follow. But I think before that there was some running up and down the stairs and chasing, though never seriously. Now they do this. And when I approach I can't do but join. There is light in the room, and warm colours. To the side where these people stand is a dias, they are maybe three, and so they are a bit higher than the others.
All of us kneel. Beside them is a cage. Not all is evil I suppose. Also, I don't know the meaning of it all, so I am patient. People take things out of it, and I think animals are in it, but you have to be careful. Dore is to my right behind me, but comes crawling over the floor closer and reaches out to the basket, which might be of reed, and takes out a glass bottle in which animals are hidden. The bottle must have been open and she uncareful, because it happened to have two animals, and one has jumped out of it with no one seeing it and now it is amongst us and dangerous and we don't know where. I think the animal that is still in the bottle was a snake, but I am sure that the other was a spider and after a while I see it on the carpet and the others see it too. We were all already on the floor. Now we don't know how to catch it, the supervisors or bad guys presiding reproach us.
It is a fairly big spider and I am sure it is poisonous, and it looks wet. There were scorpions too if I remember correctly. But all the bottles held animals like that. I don't take any, because I don't really want to be part of it, but after this commotion, I go sit behind Dore, which is about in the last row that faces the men in front. We are all on our knees, something of furniture is to my left also. And then another group of much more people comes in and must join us, which means that they were treated similarly in another room and now all are rallied up.
They come in bound by the wrists, some with the hands in front and others on the back, but all have big rope around their wrists. And when the sit behind us, and I see this, then I think I should pretend to be bound as well, since I don't have a dangerous animal nor am I bound, I would be suspicious to them. So I hold my hands together, I am sitting on my knees, and I put my hands between my legs. In that way you can't immediately see that I am cheating.
Then, before I know it, the whole thing activates, and people run about and the bound ones have to be caught, or all those that have been tainted in one way or another must be untainted, so there must be other people like me who are neither one nor the other. We are the only ones who can reverse the curse on these people. We are a minority. The crowd runs off to the left front where there is suddenly a big place, and they seem to stick together. They are like madmen, almost with foam on their lips, some are heavily made up, their faces, when I come closer I see this. But at first when all of this is happening, I just stand there not knowing what to do, although I instinctively know what to do, and I see others do it and try to gain confidence from it that things will work out. What needs to be done is to scare these people and then they will be shaken or shocked out of their trance.
We are really only a few who can do this. The overseeing men are still here but inactive. I run toward that place which looks like a playground and is also higher than where we were first. I am hesitant, but when I am among the crowd I also recognize friends among them, such as Bale, and some other girl that I know in the dream. They recognize me but have to play their part which they do knowingly, and maybe that reassures me, because they are not far off to encouraging me. Colours.
So I scare one of those that I know, go up to her and make her startle. She wears make up, I also kiss her, but then she replies that she has already been kissed by another person, which means I am (again) too late. Before her I had done one other I think, maybe two.
Now, after this I retreat, I don't want more of this, and I go back to the original place, but before I can do anything, a bound man jumps behind me and the whole atmosphere changes a little, becomes blue and green and a little darker. And he has a cap over his head to guise himself and to bind himself, but he is a leader of sorts. I instinctively do the right motions to counter his presence, which means doing the same as he. Then he reveals himself and he is Dabe and he beckons me to come. I don't have much choice. I can't remember if other things happened as well, but some other things happened.
Dabe has friends with him, among which a lady friend, she helps him and is dressed in a ruddy pink colour, and she attracts me somehow, there is another woman, in other colours, but I am less drawn to her. He takes me into a small room nearby that I did not know existed, the wall are high and we are now secluded from the rest of the scene and I feel like being initiated. I actually can't remember what happened, but in the end I felt free enough to kiss this strawberry or raspberry girl, because her dress looked like that and her whole expression, on the lips, and I pressed on, opening her mouth with mine and things went well, albeit briefly. But I can't remember what it was that Dabe wanted, I'm missing some things here, but not much later the dream ended.
