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.

Bear Cub

1. Jumping off a Height

Backyard of H&B, on the lawn, me alone, later other people come, but stay around the house, I join them. Dark. One of them starts a game which involves jumping of a high piece of furniture or maybe a wooden box, but it comes to my waist, that is how high it is. He places this on the edge of a plateau. Down below is the lawn. All of it is part of the garden. There is mud, it must have rained in previous days. Because so many feet have trampled the grass, it has become mud and the lawn is a bit wrecked. No one minds.
He jumps. The idea is to roll over when you hit the ground. This is like martial art training. I think it is too high and I don't join. Others stay behind, they don't even come near this contraption. But I take a low stool, which comes to under my knees, and place this next to his box. I use the white step from the shop, in fact. And I tell him he has to be content with this. And I measure things out for him, showing how deep the jump is with and without the extra height.
When I go stand on the step it collapses a bit so that I am again on the normal level, which is okay. I remember I have trained this on my own before they came in. I jump, the height is such that it is a challenge to do it correctly. Without the step I am sure I would make it.

2. Iceland and the Northern Seas

Somehow this dream changes into making plans to travel to the northernmost seas. I am looking forward to it, because I know from other dreams that these are the most beautiful places in the world. We are already in Iceland. And I remember that last time I traveled north I started from a piece of land or island that was already much closer to the north.
On some sort of map is measured the distance, although I would rather like to know the time it takes to get there. It says it is 541 km, and I am thinking it will take five days, either to get there or to get there and back as well. The measuring line on the map looks like a time line. It is a long time to travel, but there is no other way at this point, and I try to enjoy the outlook of being at sea for so long.
I am very eager to leave, but I am just one of the passengers. It doesn't happen in this dream, but the promise is there. I can't remember what else happened, because there was more information. This was about the end of the dream.

3. Keeping the Brown Bear

At home of parents. I don't remember where the dream started, but it became suddenly lucid enough to follow it when we found a bear cub in the garage.
My brothers were in the house.
Stuff happened before this point, but this was in a different house, in the city, probably where I live according to the dream. But information from this earlier fragment was necessary to see the connection with the bear.
Now I remember, because I saw the icon on my computer to do a scan. In the dream, I was inside a house, possibly mine, which was divided into two parts, both on an upper floor, all white. In the middle section, but more to the right part was a computer with a large desk, though not in a regular way, corner like, and high so you had to stand. Other people were around but I did not bother. Lego bricks were next to the computer and I needed those to do a scan of the computer. In fact, the computer did not tell me but I deduced somehow and checked, and I had different options, such as a long or short scan, and two other scans which were more aggressive, leaving almost nothing whole except to pink lego bricks. The other lego bricks of the same stack, of these two options that is, represented what would be removed. I did not like that, it is too risky. I was looking for the shortest one anyway. But four piles of bricks represented the options and what they did.
Can't remember the link with the bear in the garage.
The bear was still little, a cub, brown, soft light colour, and it lay there frozen or paralyzed. We go there. I can't remember who, I am there, my brothers are inside. Someone might have been with me who was earlier still outside. The gate of the garage is open. The person, maybe a lady, she says the bear has been stung by a bee. I believe her. She also says that this does something to the vitamin A12, or B12, in the bear, like blocking it or freezing it, which is why the bear lies like that on the floor. We drag him outside, onto the garden lawn.
In the dream, I am already imagining what it would be like to have the bear grown up and I tell the woman that if we keep the bear he will be tame and people will be able to buy the animal. For such seems to be the purpose, however, it is my decision to keep the bear. I still can't remember where he came from, but in the dream I knew.
So in the next instance I see the bear awake on the lawn and all grown up, really big, and peaceful, and a boy is playing with him, or rather the other way around, which is that the bear has the boy on his shoulders. I have an idea, I want to give him honey, for me no time has passed, but the bear has gotten older. So I take my plastic container with honey and go out to him. On the lawn I present it to him, and he puts his clawed right paw in it and tastes it, it is to his liking. The boy still on his shoulder.
We all go back to the house. Other things happened. A third party involved. Something about the bear. Here the dream becomes a little too rational, because I become too awake, and am thinking superficially how to keep the bear in the house, because I think he deserves to be with us. Still no parents, only us brothers.
In the garden, certainly toward the end, the bear is more black, or dark dark brown, than yellow brown.
Maybe I woke up after this.

  1. The jumping is a residue of me jumping up and down as a part of my taiji training.
    The lego brick are a residue of seeing them at Licu's work, and asking her about them, she explained what they represent.
    The bear is a symbol of Thor.
    The polar seas might be a residue of writing about the early origins of the Norse magical current, possibly from Atlantic times.
    The five days may be a residue of reading about the nine nights of norse mythology, and thinking about how it applies to me. Yesterday, before falling asleep I was thinking about the nine nights poem I send Asgr and what she thinks about it.

  2. As I expected, Asgr has contacted me on facebook yesterday, so as to remind me of her existence. I checked today. This might be related to the dream about the polar seas. I am just realizing that polar seas might be a pun for 'solar seas'.
