What Just Happened?

Dream Wednesday 10 July 2015

Last dream of the night
I start becoming aware of the dreaming in a taiji context.
Then I am in my room, it is morning and I should be getting ready to go to work. This is my room in the house of my parents. The door is open. And I am here a few times, sometimes other people are in the room, they are lethargic, not moving, one of them is Digr, he sits on the bed, though he should be going to work as well.
I prepare, knowing that I will be late. I think I did the taiji outside in the morning light, on the street, and then abruptly ended because I realized I am already overdue. Indeed, it is five past nine and I start work at nine. And I have to cycle to Leuven first, which takes me about half an hour. So I'll be late anyway. I make ready, but not in haste. Even in my room I am reluctant to leave, but I know I have to, so I go.
Then I leave the house, and at the end of the street things become crowded, I have to turn left, but a group of schoolchildren and teachers comes my way, blocking the way. I stay calm and find my way. After this everything is quiet.
Before I get to the end of the street, cars pass me, all of them sports cars. They seem to only have rear wheels, and maybe very small front wheels so that you don't see those.
I know the way to Leuven well, I have done it many times, in the dream, and I remember those occasions.
At some point the way becomes steep, cobbled, with many other cyclist going the same way. The slope is very steep upward. And the street narrow. The sun shines and there is lots of light.
Rather soon I see a girl cycle in front of me and I lock on her and follow her, though she is a distance away. I keep tracking her, though we all go in the same way, around me are other cyclists but they follow their own speed and I don't follow theirs although they are closer to me, but I link to the girl in front. Sometimes the distance increases sometimes decreases. When I get to far behind I catch up.
At some point I leave the group that surrounds me, people I don't know anyway, and overtake the girl in front. Then halfway up the steep hill with medieval like houses on either side looming, she suddenly stops, I pass her and then look back and call out: "what just happened". I quietly am aware that other people can hear me, and I don't even know this girl anyway, but there seems to be an inherent connection between us, but no one minds and I had the guts to call out anyway. Now I also stop. She looks ahead. Now I see, when I look back in front of me, there is a troupe of cyclers coming down the hill, that can be very dangerous.
The girl does not say a word though.
Afterwards we all get to the top and there's room and sunshine there and we all go our separate ways. But before I do, I decide to go to her and talk. I want to know if she would like to see me again. I ask her name, and again and again, because I have difficulties to remember, especially because she also gives her address and other details and I can't remember everything. So I focus on her name which is H. Van Kamp. The girl looked like a customer that was in the shop the day before. Interestingly, she is the one who makes notes and writes down everything, name, address etc, and then we part, so I don't have a note with her details, but she does and I have to memorize. Which I do. I memorize her name.
Then we leave and we seem to go the same way still, so we go together though not much happens, to a particular place in town, a little further the dream ends. To be resolved in the future.
