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.

Young Hippopotamus on the Loose

1. Coded Number

At some point in a dream I asked Chwe whether she knew what the numbers from my dream yesterday meant, and when she took a look she said it is a phone number, mobile phone number, and she could even tell whose number it was, someone I know as well, and I checked it and it was correct.

2. Runaway Spirit Hippo

I don't remember the first part of the dream.
Then next I walk down the street of my parents, from the beginning of the street to where my parents live. Bale walks on my left.
About halfway, or more like in the beginning, I see a hippopotamus walking free in the fields to the right, but near the ditch that separates the street from the fields. The animal is small, and a little pink, and a little grey, and something purple, and half of her body is coloured darker than the other half. I know instantly that it is a female and a young one by the size of it, and also that it is a runaway animal from a toy from someone in the street, as if I know the phenomenon, though I had not expected it. 
Bale looks when I point it out and sees it too. And I tell her what it is, and what we should do. The animal must be caught and brought back. So we venture toward it. The animal runs over the street then and Bale catches it, we walk with a a short while and I explain what has to be done. Then Bale holds the animal still, and I tell her to stroke the animal under its tail three times, and then she will open her mouth and a paper will come out of it, that is the main part, because there was a little more in between but I forgot.
Bale does this, and then we look in the front, the animal opens her mouth, and we see her tongue, and then something comes out first, and then a piece of paper too, and that is what we need, because it contains the details of the girl whose puppet this is. And I want to read the name, because I think such things are important but we just continue and indeed there is no problem of dealing with it without actually knowing the name. However, I had a quick glance and it said Kelly Kellermans, and she is 10 years old. She has blond hair.
Then we see the girl, almost by the house of my parents, but the hippo goes toward her and stands in front of her so we can't protect her, and then the hippo does something and we see a part of the girl's soul in dark purple colours go up and away, and I know it is bad. Not all of the girl has left, but she starts to faint. The hippo is not harmless yet. The girl becomes weak after this and falls. That is when we take action and shoot the hippo, either with a rifle or with a bow and arrows, but the hippo still lives.
Then we are at the home of my parents, and there are three men who are hunters, they have rifles, and I tell them and try to convince them to shoot.
After a while the dead girl appears again, to the left of the road, and in black, and a bit looking possessed, but she can still be saved, I shoot her different times, many times, but I cannot hit her. At that point I have a shotgun from one of the hunters, and when the girl runs she crosses the street and into the fields to the right and all the way back, and I follow her with my gun, aiming, seeing even the marks on top of the rifle once to aim precisely, and I am just to slow to hit her, though I try several times. But I should have hit her the second time I shot her because this was right on it.
Afterward we check the gun, and Bale as she feared says that the second bullet was a dummy, and more than two bullets I could not have had anyhow, so the other times I shot were useless. Maybe Bale becomes Chwe at that moment more or less.
We still keep chasing the girl, but the next moment we are inside, possibly in the house though it looks different, and we now know we can only trick the girl. She has no longer human wit, and tricking her into a trap is now the only way to get her. If I remember correctly we caught her in the end, but I can't remember how, though the strategy would have been worth to remember.
I can't remember that last part of the dream well, and possibly some more fragments followed.

3. Unpacking Bundles

Possibly the last part of the previous dream. In the shop. I'm behind the till as usual, dark, Christmas atmosphere, I'm back here since some time and things have changed, I seem to be behind in knowledge, especially towards Brva and Keva, but I don't mind and do my work, which is one of the things I am new to. The situation is that so many things are piled up on top of the counter that there is no room to work. There is some order to it, but it must be cleared and ordered. Evidently, all this stuff is not mine but of my colleagues that dropped it here because I was away. Now I am back I am faced with it and it is official work. Again, I don't seem to mind but do my part.
I start to reorder by removing elastic bands from one bundle, which looks like papers or straws or twigs bundled together. I know a better system, if they let me, then I reorder everything. I do one thing at the time.
I don't know what happens then. I know my colleagues are present, but none seems to come and annoy me.

4. Dancing like an Indian

I forgot the first part of the dream but it was light and in a downstairs big room which was a party, then we retreated, some of us, to upstairs, which is more private and there we make our own party. For what purpose I don't know, but since I'm there and now in a more private environment I can let myself go. However, I think this is where we stopped while I was wanting to go home. Maybe my two brothers are here, but certainly Elbe and Ande are here.
To my back, or my left, there is a hearth, but just as decoration, because not working. We're all standing. Elbe and Ande are making music and it is really entrancing, and I start dancing, I don't play any instrument and this is a handicap, but I can make music with my voice, and I dance to their tune, although I am thinking that they are tricking me into it. And make sounds with my voice while tapping my mouth with the fingers of my right hand, each finger apart, and very quick, so fast I did not know I could move, and sounds rather cool. The other hand I put in the air, and I feel a bit like a Native American. After a while I start to become more awake and the technique does not work very well anymore and I stop.

5. Naruto Badminton

After dream. I've been awake and fell back asleep a little.
I'm in the corner of the sports hall where I do badminton. Two members are there, we are early, half an hour or a quarter of an hour, and agree to start playing. No courts are set up yet, but in that corner we are able to play. I serve, they serve, it is one one, and I have to serve again, and now the situation is like this that their part of the court is receded in the building, which looks like a garage, so beyond where normally the wall ends, and the wall is still there, so there is only a man's length or so that is open. I know that when I serve I'll be serving too high, I do it anyway, and hit the wall. Then we stop. I played one against both.
That is when we start discussing whether we should set up the courts and play further afield, on a real court with a net and so on. We come together and turn about a bit, others are coming in. I am retreating, and pass a big machine or box, red and black and it says naruto, I can read that and know it refers to the series, but there are no pictures so I let it go. Then I pass this thing, this is beside the courts, and at the other side of it I see a picture of Naruto, then I see the character himself and shake his hand. Others don't know the guy. That is about where the dream ends.

    Interpretation.
    Dream 2. This is the main dream.
    Dream 3. I was thinking yesterday and today that I have no connection with the shop at all when I am on leave. I could not care less. This is different from past years. The email our boss sent me earlier in the week was an intrusion to my rest.
    Dream 4. The upstairs room reminded me of Chwe's living room. Her rooms seem to be more often in my dreams, but I can give no real interpretation.

  2. Interpretation.
    Dream 3. Well, I just checked my emails, and my colleagues mailed me with something work related. Something they should not have done, because the information they had was correct and to be trusted.

  3. Interpretation.
    Dream 2. Toward evening, yesterday, Thursday, Mefa called me and then came over to inform me of Woli's accident. I can only relate his passing to the spirit hippo. The dream was very clear about the separation of body and mind, maybe the hippo symbolized the psychic problems that Woli had, and however we tried we could never eliminate them, and they took him away.
    Dream 5. I somehow interpret this dream as referring to Woli as well, the first part is in the corner that is at Chwe's place, then everybody arrives and we go to the place of the accident, that is the red and black box, then I shake his hand, which is me trying to understand him.
