Spider in the Sand

1. Leaving the Hotel

The place where I am looks like the side of my parents' home, where the side door is, though this place is longer, more open, and in different colours. This is some kind of hotel, where I have been staying the last few days, with other people I know, possibly also my brothers. Hotel is only at ground level, which is why it is long, but it is not wide.
We are making ready to leave the place and are packing. I am behind a bit, but I let the others go, not worrying, and I like it here.
Before that in the dream was another fragment, when I stayed there. The road goes down a long way and stretches a long way and reminds me of the road from Herent to Leuven. And on somewhere halfway the slope is where Siph is living and it is a long time since I've seen him, so we go to visit him. I want to do this. What happened before this I can't remember. But it is night and dark and we go in, his house is small. He is making soup, I think, I can't remember the rest.
Then back in the hotel is the time for us to leave, I must have been half awake or sleepy in the dream, for I remember being naked or half naked. So, all the others have checked out already, then I pass the place where the side door would be and this is like a living room, but no one is there and it has been tidied. But I see my laptop, notebook, lying there, on the floor, underneath one of the chairs. So I must have left it there from last night or something. I make a mental note to pick it up later, because now I have other things on my mind and am not gone yet.
I go back a little, where there is a little corner, outside, and there is some kind of sand box, for children to play in. I have some experiment going on here, though the sand wasn't here before, only when I decided I would be doing something like that, which has something to do with the dead, dead bodied, but I can't remember the particulars. Maybe digging them up from the sand. I also remember that in days past I or we played here with paper too, but this was on the right side of the sand and through time the paper must have mixed with the sand, but you can't detect it, because the paper has disintegrated in the meantime.
But I add something extra, also to the left side, which is the experimental side, and that is a big black spider, some dangerous exotic kind, but I want it there for experiment, though I don't remember what it should do, but obviously it does whatever I expect it to. After a while I think I should be careful, because the spider is dangerous, can bite or is poisonous. The spider can live underneath the sand and sometimes tears open the sand and reveals what is beneath, and I am surprised that underneath the sand is room, not too deep, but there is empty space there. The spider is rather intelligent. I stay there a long time, watching, or doing whatever else. I am mostly in the sand myself. Spider slices through the sand and can move more sand than I could imagine, and it makes holes too. Black Widow kind (?).

There is some other dream fragment which I think belongs to the same dream, and this is in a different place, close to a market square and some people go dressed as dinosaurs, all green. And we just arrive, but I have somehow known about this and want to join eventually. I look at the different dinosaurs, their size and hands in particular. There is only one who has hands with fingers. I am also observing how they mimic the size of the dinosaurs, and I try to see whether I can see which dinosaurs these are. Iguanodon is certainly among them.

Back at the hotel. (I can't read my notes well). Maybe a dog, wants to do something, kid is there, kid needs help. Then the electricity shuts down, but the machine with which we want to make a call is not completely down, the only buttons that are still lighted are the one we need. So this is near the hotel, but outside, at the other side of the road, in the dark, it must be night, and there is a phone booth, and the dog wants to make a phone call. And at first, the whole keyboard is lighted. Then this short circuiting or whatever makes it less easy to handle, and I think that it can't be done at all, or I just don't want to do this and go away, but I suppose the kid is still there and perseveres. The keyboard says something like 'kids only', those buttons light up, but that is okay, because it is for a kid. But the kid, boy, does not know who to call. Yet the possibilities are limited, this because of the shutdown.

There is also a fragment in which there is a truck. A white one, but very large, because when it passes other trucks that are similar and white, then it is indeed twice the size. This is the biggest one that we sent, and I did that. N and D are here, hotel site, and the brothers T&B possibly too.

2. Dream Photos

I'm in the living room of parents, sleepy, and yet doing stuff, at the same time this place is the same place as where I was in the former dream, with friends, in a hotel. The right side is still close to outside or there is no wall at all. The left side is inside and that is where I am, on the sofa, and sometimes on the table. I have my computer with me. Behind me are other people. I am checking something and then I find pictures that I did not know I had, because these are snapshots from the dreams I had tonight. And they are very clear and they are also very real, the whole atmosphere of those dreams is in it, so one picture differs seemingly in quality from another, but it is in actual fact the haziness of the dream itself that is captured.
First I see a series of photos that were taken in the same place but one or two dreams before, and I wonder about the technology, because no photographer or camera was involved. On these first few photos is a being that was in the dream and which I think is weird it is taken, because it is a spirit and not anyone could see it, in one picture he is clearly the devil of the tarot cards. The demon reminds me of Eliphas Levi, too. This demon is in different photos and always near me. White and black as if he is a drawing. And white haze on the photo, though it is in colour.
Another set of photos is more to my liking, because I might discern naked ladies on it and I know they were in my dreams. And in some I am right, but in others I am not, because you can't see it very well. But there is one beautiful photograph with a lot of red haired maidens and wide green ribbons dancing on a green hill, this is marvelous. And I have another picture of one of these maidens, and I know I have met her in one of my dreams.
I want to show these pictures to my friends behind me (I am reminded of Chwe), while I am still lying half asleep either on the table or on the sofa. And I am working on my table which is connected to my laptop, to get the pictures right. The tablet is in the far left corner and stands up so as to provide a good view.
I'm very proud of these pictures.
One picture was difficult to focus on because the centre consisted of light, but it moved with you when you looked around the photograph, and sometimes the light was stronger and sometimes fainter but it was always there, linked to the picture itself. I thought it was troublesome, because you can't see what is shot.

3. Worn Trousers

Fragment. I am wearing my new jeans and go over it with my hands and feel that it is worn already. This after only a few days, I think it is a pity, but I don't make a fuss about it.
