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.

Big Planet Small People

1. Sandwich Bar

I am in the sandwich bar to get my lunch, 't Vluggertje. I just got here. The colours are of a good quality, deep colours, red and blue. E&D certainly behind the bar, maybe someone else, a young person. Customer behind me, some sit at tables. I talk with the people from the bar. I can' remember any details anymore.

2. Boat Trip

I can't remember where the dream started, but it is light and I leave to another planet. I can't remember if I leave from Earth or any other planet already. Chwe is with me. The planets are not real size. The size is measured by the surface you can see.
There is a scene in which Chwe hugs me, possibly when leaving. I had not seen it coming, and am surprised, so it takes a while but then I hug back. I think this was in my kitchen. Or it might have been outside.
We leave the first planet, presumably earth, we are in a happy mood. The next planet we pass is a small planet, definitely a globe shape, dark, but inhabited, maybe four people live here, and I can't remember if they were still there or were already dead a long time. Then it is a dead planet. The people are our height, but the planet is so small they seem big and they can only live there with so few. With four people the planet is occupied on all sides in fact.
We pass that one and come to the next which I suppose is the one where we want to get. And this is a nice planet and I have some knowledge of this planet before we land.
The first thing we notice is that the planet is bigger and the people are smaller. The people here are less than half a centimeter tall. They all wear or look orange. And they are a population on some kind of island. We land with our shuttle on the centre of the planet, there is a wide river crossing and across is a piece of green and the let's say gnomes are living there. They are very zealous in a way. By some accident a handful dies. Maybe me or Chwe caused this unwittingly. Not me I suppose because I knew they were here before I arrived. Then I notice the population goes back to its normal count rather quickly and I understand that because they are all so tiny, their life cycles are much quicker. There is one in specific who might be designated as king or leader. I know him in some kind of way.
While I'm busy there, Chwe finds a boat of wood on the river and is in it before I know it. I have not intention of going on a boat, but don't want Chwe to do more damage. On top of that I see the boat is built for people our size, and this must be some relic from an ancient race living here. The boat is still very solid. When I go in no one else is except Chwe. She is at a wall admiring the workmanship saying there is no trace of plastic anywhere and she is surprised and happy by that. But mentioning it makes me fear she wants plastic in it while when I understand this is solidly wood I want to keep it so. The wood is old, almost grey, a dark colour, spacious inside, like a room of wood on water. Single beams.
We decide to take a tour on the river. There were people outside on the far side of the river by the boat, possibly our height, but I can't remember what or who or why.
We go anti clockwise on the river. Soon enough it is clear that the river makes a circle, I think that is fine. There are mountains as well. The boat trip is nice, there is some wild water, mild, and we pick up some speed. I like it. I suppose we see everything from on top of the boat.
More than halfway we are about to get back to the point of start, but I see the river goes straight on while the circle would close if the river would bend to the left. There is a fork in the river. Unknown lands and waters are in front of us and I want to go to the left whatever the cost. I see pirates on a ship coming down from the mountain river that plunges in ours. While we too are going downstream, the whole time. We go with the flow. Only at this point things are a bit awkward. The boat naturally wants to go straight, but I fear that we will never get back in that case.
So in the fork I bend the ship to the left and it works. No harm done. There was a clear border anyway. Not that it would have stopped us, but it would have prevented us to go back. Also because of the current.

3.

Light, some complex of buildings and squares. Some game going on. Stairs, stone stairs like you would have in a city at a square. I'm in a team of six members of which I am one. They are currently in different places. Other teams are about and making better progress than us. I don't mind at all. I have a bag in my hand, like a bag with runes, but there are some kind of gaming pieces in it, like stones, cylindrical, and they are yellow but flecked with black, and that is why they remind me of leopards. Because I am the one holding this I am the leader. The other teams each have a sack like that. I know at least one other colour is black. I suppose blue and green are other colours.
We assemble on the stairs and then complete the final stage. I can't well remember what happened before. But from then on we go to the tower where we complete the mission, others have gone before us we know. We go in and go up the stairs (this seems linked with the dream of 't Vluggertje). Half of the group is up already. When I come to the upmost reach, there is a waiting room, you can see the stairs where we came from. Some sit on the stairs. Groups that have completed the mission are waiting here still, just hanging about, some of the members at least, most have gone. All is calm and peaceful and things are well directed and organized. There is a small room to the left, but you can see through the wall, though there is clearly a door. A young woman sits inside by the door and sometimes stands up, she is the one who admits people or asks them to wait. When we arrive, another group is still in the room, so we have some inkling of what will happen.
Some members of my group go in after that but I don't. I'm waiting for the others. My two brothers are in my team and also Mael. And the rest I can't remember. 
I know what will happen when I enter. I have to restrain myself. At first when I almost entered I felt the bag start to glow and light in the room started to shine and even down the bottom of my spine things got warm and there was pressure as if something was activated. I know that if I enter the room I will unleash the full power of it, but I cannot do this, I find, before the others have arrived. Two are behind, they sit on different stages of the stairs, and are preparing themselves. Among other things they are consulting oracles, there are people around who do divination especially for this. I am patient and wait. There is a second time I almost go in and am on the threshold, but still I hold back. I want to wait.
The bag in my hands is also wrapped in paper that wraps the cloth in which the pieces are. Maybe butter paper or newspaper. And I move this in my hand so that I grab it in a good way so I am completely ready.
Then one comes up and enters and then the other, and the dream ends.

4. Lemon

I'm in the garage of parents, going in, I see there are lemons, my dad has bought them, the door is open and he is in the door, I don't say anything, why did I buy a lemon then?

5. Black Pen

In Leuven, from Herent, on foot, nighttime though time to get to work, but earlier, busy roads. Near the canal. I come to a point where I have to cross the road. When I cross I leave a certain world behind me and enter another that feels more home and familiar, Leuven. On the other side I meet Brva, which is a chance meeting, but I am happy, we kiss, she kisses me, and when I realize that I kiss back and a little more, this is nice. Then I want to continue. But we have to be cautious, because emergency services need to pass, firemen, police, etc. 
There is a woman asking a pen. I have my black pen, this is still the same place. I have to other pens that I don't need, I want to give her one of these and she accepts, and when I look again I see she took my pen, nothing I can do about it.

  1. First half of the night Chwe was strongly in my dreams, second half not. The dreams are not complete, I remember flashes but can't describe it. The three first dreams were the main ones.
    Sandwich bar is a residue. Chwe is a residue. Though she must have been thinking about me, she said today she went to bed late, like 3am, that may mean that she was out of my dreams once she got into her own deep sleep.
    I told her my dream of tonight, and she said she has had dreams about boats on rivers and the boats are always of wood, and from natural materials and that what I describe is totally what she is like. This was interesting.
    She told me parts of her dream, one thing was a sentence that she kept repeating, something like: god is ready when you are. She interpreted this as being about a question about death that she posed earlier in the week, but I interpret it as me being ready for her if she is.
    The bag with pieces reminds me of my rune bag. The top level might be the head, light in the head, initiation, group initiation, maybe referring to going to the restaurant today with the meditation club, transmission. The pressure was real.
    Chwe also said she would have taken the risk and gone to the other world on the boat, unlike me. She was on the boat. I did not tell her she hugged me in the dream.
