Four Unicorns and the Demon Bat

1.

Outside, party with friends, other people there. Grass. there is a ditch with water on one side. Tables of wood. Fun.
More people come from the right. I see a girl that I'm interested in and try to focus to see if it is really her. I focus and it is her, but her appearance changes, she is now Clsm.
One person in her group is drunk and pursues her. I recognize him, have been to school with him, primary school. He is Mael.
I see he his troubling her and she does not like it one bit. She goes away from him, and goes to the water side. I already stand up and move toward the scene. I see she wants to jump into the water, it is a lake now, just to get away from him. I try to avoid that by colliding into the drunk man, a friend of long time ago. And bring him to senses. I see from the corner of my eye that Clsm stays where she is. So that's good.
Now I don't know what to do with Mael, but I try to stop him, bear hug him. In his drunken mood he thinks it is funny and starts to dance, very clumsily, and moves away in that way. I hang on to him and think this is better than the alternative.
He radiates the quality of being spirit possessed.

DREAM of Saturday 18 April

1.
Early dream. I meet Chwe. At some point I try to make a prolonged effort for her to touch me. Then we are near the toilets and I take her with me, she is somewhat reluctant. I still keep coming. In the toilet, she somewhat agrees, and we start to undress each other. At that point I know it will not be able to hold it and regret already that it will be over soon. I touch her body while uncovering her as much as I can but I come anyway and the dream ends.

2.
Morning dream.
There is a weekend camp, our taiji group is there as well, in the evening we have class, and Tivd is teaching. We train on one side of the square. The square is surrounded by tall buildings, skyscrapers. We are on the side that is closest to our rooms. Huge buildings anyway. Can't remember everything.
When we did the taiji it was already darkening and we moved with large stone slabs, which is unconventional and difficult. I am half sleeping and don't really pay attention. With all the stones of the floor underneath broken up and while we hug those stones it looks like a site of rocks that I once visited in Germany.

Then in the morning I wake early and go outside. Many people are up already, from other groups. The ligth is nice outside from early morning dawn. There are lots of birds in the air, in flocks, ever more, and chirping, and I like the sound. Listen to them and watch them. I think they are a good omen because birds signify the presence of spirits.
After a while the birds (spreeuwen) start to change as if unfolding, from the belly side they open and become bats or maybe flying squirrels. There are many. I wonder if we are in danger, this does not look good. They obviously symbolize some evil.
But they stay high in the air and I know they are harmless there. If they would come down it would be trouble, for all of us. No need. Here the dream is lucid and stays lucid.
To my right I see on the large building four unicorns, one on each corner of the roof. They look out from their, each in his direction. The one closest to us watches the bats.
Then at some point the flock of bats in the morning light start to merge and become one big bat or demon and they or it looks ominously, in the direction of the unicorn.
I see the unicorn point his horn toward the bat demon and then he shoots a beam of light from its horn, brilliant white light, and it hits and pierces the bat.
Down below I can't believe what I witness, and after the event I go inside and people are there. It looks like no one has actually seen what I saw. And exhilarated I shout "that is the dissipation of glamour" like it is the school example of what needs to be done, and it can be done. And people look and smile about what I say but I don't have the feeling they really understand. To me, this felt like a very big moment.
What I witnesses was the actual technique to dissipate glamour.

Rosemary Fire

1. Thumb Spirit and Rosemary Fire

Outside, light, green, hill and ditch, field with hay, long grass. I am across a street or see across of me, there is also a tree, a creature not bigger than my thumb, it sort of radiates light so I know it is a spirit. It makes a fire, I see it gathers rosemary needles for it, I think that is genius. There is another creature about the same size that joins him. I know them both. They don't belong to each other, but now they happen to meet, possibly because I am there, since one of them might be a familiar.
Then the first one, who is the original, he goes across the street, possibly passes me, and gathers long stalks of grass, it is normal grass to me but I see it from his perspective, and the stalks are much too long for him, I don't know why he does that, maybe because he wants to make an impression.
They make a second pile, this one high, even for me, but I think the first one was cute. Later I try to make more direct contact with the thumb spirit, I have a feeling that this spirit has something to do with sexuality. I don't know if I can make them do anything for me.

2. Case of Death

L Alda died or someone he was acquainted with. This kept people busy, though I think he himself was present as well. Outside, light, green, maybe camping.

3. CD

Something about Anne Clark, maybe cd, or she was singing, was she in the dream? Or someone had a cd that reminded me of her? Maybe this was at the camp. I think it made me more able to mix with the people.

Unicorn Onslaught

1. Demons from the Walls

When I woke up I remembered two dreams. Now only one, which is the second part of the last dream.

We are gathered in a house, upstairs, which is a terrace, so outside. We are called there. I feel out of place. Daylight. Building in the middle of the city, surrounded by other buildings. Lucid. Can't remember what happened before.
At some point someone starts talking and I am seeing demons and devils. This seeing is linked to what the person says. At once I feel their presence very clearly, as never before, but when I focus on one, it recedes back into the wall. It is like portraits or paintings, or alcoves in the wall in which these demons appear. One is a buck shaped one, reminding me of Pan and the scapegoat. Ochre, yellows, bricks. He comes out of the wall, a living entity, but can never leave it, when I look at it from where I am, it recedes back into the wall. A few times this. I am a little disconcerted by it.
In a later stage, not much later indeed, I think through what the person is saying our mind is projected to one of those portals, opposite of the buck and this place has much room, but for now it is a portal. There is a steep hill, meadow, lush. On the hill is a herd of unicorns, all white and young and very pretty and real. And they are slaughtered, one by one they die, are killed. I look at it and don't know what to think. The only think I can think is that I am relieved some of them still survive. But I am also trying to accept it, which means I am thinking: if this is what is happening, then that is what it is.
The unicorn onslaught felt like a personal attack. A sacred space violated. That is about where the dream ends.

Ninja Needles

1. Shrunk Socks

At home of parents. Parents and brothers are there.
At night when everyone has gone to bed, I am still there, and my dad is still up and moving about. I have done my laundry, especially socks, and I want to pack these now. I am not supposed to stay here long, just passing through, I won't allow myself to stay here long, and I feel a bit separated from the rest of the family. Dark socks, brown I think, they are not the right size. Some are really mini, not a thumb big, as if they have shrunken and are still shrinking too. My dad helps me with things. This happened toward the end of the dream.
I am actually preparing to get to a weekend, making ready to leave. This will be with Elbe and Bale, but they should have been here since a long time, and they are still not here.
N and D are also waiting. All of them are still on their way. We will leave by car, the car comes, this is still later in the night. I think the car comes to pick me up. It drives up the way alongside the house to the back where the garage is. It is not who I expected. Guds gets out, who is my boss's boss, and someone else and his daughter.
Later, our mom wants to go to bed. I am waiting by the phone, I have made a phone call myself.
Earlier I was on my room. There were comic books where my books used to be, old ones that I had forgotten about or never even read.
More things happened that I can't remember now.

2. Ninja Needles

There is a very big space ship, rather like a cube but rectangular. It is about to leave, I am on it anyway. All the people are already on it. I am guiding someone, and we don't want contact with anyone else. But at some point we see a person who needs help and is being guided. Maybe something something.
We go up with the lift. Everyone goes each his way, but something is wrong, I can feel it (can't remember now). I do something something maybe go back and see that they have closed the room, possibly my bed room. People are smoking, I am bothered by that. And they keep animals hostage, which is not good.
There might be some kind of alarm, like of an alarm clock to get up, but I'm not sure. Anyway the ship is leaving, but you don't even have the impression you're moving.
We go look anyway and everyone is threatening the situation or me with taking off their pants, I don't understand it, they threaten with shooting sperm, I see there dicks when they take there pants off. Some are children, they all do it mindlessly. There is even a small boy. But first we even go into a fist fight (I'm not sure if I'm involved in this).
Everyone is something something, and we find a man on the toilet in the corner, which is not a separate room.
Then there are big spacious rooms, inside, and I have to go back somewhere, we are roaming about and hoping not to get caught by the bad guys. Maybe first I am alone, but after a while we are a group. They might be aspects of me, traveling with me. When we meet the enemy by the start of another room, though these rooms are so spacious and the accesses so wide you can't really see it but only know it, then we are attacked, but we attack back and with the same weapons. All of us use needles to throw, they are big and lethal, and white. And there is much light. Sometimes we hide and then quickly we come out of hiding and throw our needles, a few in a row each time, like real ninja doing shuriken.
First there is a Japanese girl, she shoots at us, this when we try to escape with needles.
I am reasoning we will have to escape over land, because it will not be able to cross to where we are inside the ship, because the ship is full of enemies. Now I also realize we are on another planet.
Then something about a long bench, like a Swedish one, but upside down, so it is small to sit upon, and we do some massage, can't remember the details, but it does not work.
There are young girls. I throw needles and kill them, more and more come, and I know the situation is hopeless, because if we continue and that is all we can do we will only meet more of them. But we continue. In the next big room I decide I can better use a sword, short sword, but the situation is hopeless anyway. When I slash the enemy with my sword, because thinking it created the sword, they all seem to be of straw, also men, though earlier it was usually women, young ones. The dream ends there. The others are still behind me.

3. Drinking Duvel

Living room of parents, parents are there, I am in the sofa, mom and dad where they usually sit, I am first, they come after. I drink a Duvel, which I normally don't, and it is my mother's drink. When my mother sits down and starts to drink her drinks, among which Duvel, I am a bit uncomfortable and am not sure whether I want to drink this at all, but for some reason I chose this one for me.

4. Hammer HAR

A walk with my parents and brothers. Suddenly we are inside, this is some kind of gallery, first outside there was a pathway, a boy, and there were possibly animals to be sighted on the path which was of gravel, grey, and wide, grass to the left and right, and I know there can be snakes and these might be dangerous and so I keep a check on the young boy. There are also puddles because it has rained the day before or earlier in the day, and there is one big one when I think about it, and I doubt it is very real.
Later we come to an area where I know where I am and the feel is that of London, and the others follow me, and this is the gallery, all brick and stone, and can't decide whether it is outside or inside, and it is a long way from where people usually come, and I know this place and yet I don't. There are tombs on the walls, so in a vertical position, this to one side, on the other side are more like portraits, they seem to be from anything from 500 to 100 years ago. This is a remnant of a Freemason's lodge. The hallway continues, we go forth. This is an impressive place, grand, and meaningful, yet deserted, not used in many years.
Frustratingly, the others see things like inscriptions or plaques with text and explanations, but I don't see this, though I have the information when they speak about it out loud.
At the end of this is a more open place, but the hallway continues and after that is a closed room. At the wall outside the room are all kinds of skulls and skins of faces, and when I am there and look at these it is as if I know why they have a funny shape. Also, they are small heads. And the others arrive and I tell them how the shape of the skin would have fitted a skull, this is my own insight in the dream, but I see one of the faces nod. And then I become aware of them listening to me, and they can even talk if I would be listening. So we communicate. There is one particular face I talk with, he is the most awake, maybe used to be a scribe. He is only a skin, but has eyes too. Most of them are male.
There is one among them, they hang on the wall on eye height and lower like shields or weapons, one among them is a bit higher and is no face or human skull at all, but rather a blunt weapon which reminds me of a Thor's hammer. It looks new, polished, shines.
After a while I can no longer ignore this hammer shaped entity and I take hold of it, because since it is a weapon it has a handle, it is like a steel bar across the thing, and then it becomes another dead body and it talks too, and I ask his name, and I look in particular into his eyes. I saw his eyes quite early, but now I take the effort to look right into them because I know he would like that and it is the most sure way to communicate. This is a very lucid moment. His eyes are very big and very alive, and he looks directly at me.
When I ask his name he says: Har. I immediately accept it as true, then, by force of the earlier skin, he also says his surname, which I have forgotten, and it was not important, because it did not sound very true. Then I ask him for what kind of things I can summon him, because I obviously think I have now a contract with a spirit. But he does not know, which means that he does not know why it is that we now have contact, although we both acknowledge there must be a reason for it.
I don't know what to say, then he seems to have a thought of understanding and asks me if I want to become a missionary, and he thinks that must be it, and this must be something he is familiar with as a spirit if someone awakens him. And I don't know, and I think I should ask important questions, but there is none that comes to mind. He keeps asking (I can't read the rest of my notes), but he is serious about it. End of dream.

In the Hall of the Gods

1. In Space

Dark, in outer space but near a moon, N and Pese were there, first only N. Spaceship, but this becomes a space base, and N and me start to make a film related to a space adventure, the intro of a film, much green as if seen through a heat detector for spying, and the images, the sound and the subtitltes were all recorded separately and in the end we must put all these three together, that is when also Pese is there, and we succeed in this, lonely as it is, though at the end there must have been other presences but not near us. When we assemble things, Pese is only in the way and there is little room in the cockpit to move about, but I have to stand behind where Pese is sitting to get a good view.
After that we are speaking about possibilities and I am thinking about these and the dream follows, so I see a planet and a moon somewhere, and the planet can be transformed into a superhero, and the moon can be transformed into its hound, which means that both are coiled up to form a sphere, and which also means they are as persons astronomically big. I can already imagine when they uncoil that they go through space and are so big that they can compete with the real big individuals in space and can track down cosmic evils, or super villains (like Magneto), and hunt then down. That will be cool. I see this planet and moon when I think about it, the planet is more or less red. But the dream ends there.

2. Gods on the Snooker Table

Light.
First of all I am on a very basic chair in a big room, alone, looking to nothing in particular, and it reminds me both of the garage and the veranda, but it is bigger, though more desolate and bigger. I am alone there though I know that in other areas of the comples people are present.
The chair is of metal and very simple. I hear someone talking to my right. I am in the middle of the room, but more to one wall, and looking to the left, so I don't see this person at first. But when I look, or maybe because it is a dream I just know, I can see the person coming halfway up through the floor. Older guy with a beard, and I know he is Poseidon and he gives me advise about remembering my dreams, and he concludes that I should rather summon Mimir to train my memory, but I realize that Poseidon must have something to do with dreams too, because of the water and the horses. And Morpheus might be in the neighbourhood but certainly I have no conversation with him, but he would be standing to the left, only as a presence.
Poseidon is whom I summoned intuitively, also to train my memory.
Then the dream shifts, it is later in the day, and I enter a room, and this room is very special, but also public, which means that the other people are also gathered here. Light and lucid, and I go through a door to enter. There are gods stationed in the room in a particular configuration that reminded me of the initial positions of snooker balls. So first there is one black god in the centre close to the door, and then a different black god on that same central line but behind the first, then gods to the side, and I only see the right side, because that is where I move to, and behind must be the crowd and the gods representing the red balls, but I never go near there so I don't know.
There first two gods are impressive, and I seem to know them and treat them as such, thinking by myself that they will surely be voodoo gods, and that they are mighty and can surely show and teach me a part of their magic. They look at me kindly and I return that.
I don't know why I am here but now I must be summoned here since everyone is gathered here and waiting, surely something important will be done here.
In waiting I pass those first two and then I meet an assembly or configuration of smaller gods cluttered together. At first I see only the red haired woman goddess that comes to me and seduces me and I take it she is a goddess of love, and possibly of Greek origin. This meeting is rather intimate, and I let myself be dragged into it and afterwards I see she belongs to that composite structure, among which the god Hermes and possibly Dionysos are present, and Hermes would be the one angry with me since it is his wife. And the gods in this place are close together and are in fact statues and statuettes, the main god is faced to the centre line so I am behind it and never see who it is but I think it was Dionysos. Then a series of smaller figurines are behind it, on table height, but placed exactly against it, and I move these a little to see who they all are. I can't remember the rest of the dream, but this was already near the end.

3. Kiss and Play

At home of parents, living room, I am there, parents are in the dining room, maybe mother is ironing. Brothers must also be somewhere but can't see them. At some point I am disturbed becaus Brfr is there with me and we play, there is a game and I instinctively play it with her, and after a while it mainly consits of throwing things gently towards each other to nudge each other, and I don't know what was used at first, but soon enough it becomes a playing card, maybe eight of hearts, or similar, and I am good at it, and move to the next stage of the game.
At some point I sit on the stairs, and have caught the card maybe, and Brfr comes fast toward me and kisses me on the lips, and I draw her near me and kiss back for real, and she lets me. And we keep playing, but now it is different in that I have to be a gentleman to her and be an easy target for her, so I sit still and very close to her, at this point she is in the one person sofa and I to the left on the floor, and I raise my arms to make myself a better target. There are more occasions where we kiss, she me, or I her. And the kisses are very nice, because they are real, once even with a little tongue.
And toward the end she tells me that no one ever before has played the game beyond this point, but I move to stage three and still play with her, willingly, because sacrificing myself to her, and I continue, because I don't see any harm in it. But it means that other boys she played with never got serious and I am different.
After making me easy and vulnerable to her which was this third stage, the dream ends, she made her point, she was happy to have found me.
Possibly the dream there changed into a new scene but I can't remember.

4. Brfr

Last things I dreamed were more in the line of what happened with Brfr and she might even have been there, light, more chaotic, things moving and happening, but I can't remember well. More people around. Inside.

Secret House

1. Secret House in College

At some point in a dream there is Chwe sitting I think, and I am behind her, am about to say goodbye, me leaving. Dark. I lean over, over her left shoulder, and I near her, because now I would like to kiss her lips, but when I am about to, she obviously does not want to, but a moment later she clearly changes her mind and she kisses me. And at first it is very soft, because I'm not sure what to do with it, but she continues, so I can only follow, tongue.
Later in the same dream. House, large, halfway in the ground. At first with a lot of other people, maybe different location. Students.
Elbe is there. Maybe this whole complex reminds me of a college (reminds me of Goodenough College in London), at the same time my house is somewhere here, in the complex, to the left, in a part that is not accessible to others, and therefore secret, and even to me this is new. But Elbe is looking for something to study, and she tells me she wants to learn Kabbala, as if I am the person knowing everything about this university. It is not because I live here that this is the case. But I happen to see tables with leaflets, and underneath shelves with all the information, so I browse through it and after a while I find the Jewish Mysteries leaflet. I go past it first, to see if more specific courses are given, then turn back and take it. All those leaflets are colourful, but with a white background. I hand it over to Elbe.
After that we go outside, which is inside of the complex, to the side, is a pavement, and a corridor which is higher above ground.
(From notes) Somebody tells us something, other place already (?).
And then bedtime, so I retire to my secret house, and the storm outside is raging, and I am all alone, and it is still bright, outside, the light seeps in. And I am at the upper story to the right, where my bedroom is, but all the rooms are large. When I can't sleep I get up and go down and to the left, and these are the living room quarters, and I see what I feared, the lights are on everywhere, but what is also wrong is this that some of the windows are open, some only a little bit, the top ones, but one or two completely. The strange thing is that they give access to another world outside, a different world than when you would walk the inside of the complex or outside. This is a different world behind my house, which is why it is secret, and underground.
While I go down to check the lights, something else happens. Staples, unused, hover on my right hand, as well as a plastic paying card, it sticks to the back of my hand, and so do the staples, and sometimes they circle about my hand, when I shake them. This is a weird sight, and I think it is something like static, but this is real magnetism. I try to leave it behind, but it is difficult, then I give it no more thought.
When I am downstairs and see the windows, which are large, ajar, the great boss, chief of this complex, is also here, some yuppie, very rich and powerful, and full of himself. He comes to check with me, now that I am awake. I don't trust him at all.
I realize that it was not me who opened all these windows, something is wrong here, and I don't feel safe anymore, because that means that people can just walk in into my house without my knowledge, and what is more so, even this boss can do so. I don't like that. I think that it was maybe his daughter who did all this, or the people who work for him, goons, because the house is embedded in the university, and the university is his, which means the house is his, and this means I can stay and live here because he wants it. I am somehow under his power.



 
It is then that I notice the front door, which is one that I can't use, but he came through it, and now that I see it, I am curious enough, and he goes back through it to leave the house, and I follow to see where it leads, because I see a room with maybe one or two passing people when he opens the door. Again, a different world behind it, but a familiar one, the same as the outside university in fact. When we walk through I recognize the room as one of the library chambers, warm, wood, dark, students present, they see us coming, though the entry is secret, you can't see it from the library. More students are in the room. This chamber is downstairs or underground also.

2. Tomb Stone Rite

First part I can't remember, but it was light, hectic, inside and with lots of people, among which D. At least two rooms, and I was mocked at, but can't remember reason nor situation.
Later, to the right, there is a place for eating, I go there, and Jeve is there, she just got something to eat, and I sit opposite her.
There was also some Greek words spoken by someone, maybe the names of lesser known gods, like Arete. And I understand that the end -e is indeed pronounced as -ee.
Lica is also here, she is on my right at the table. We are all eating. Jeve is telling some sort of story, can't remember what, and some of the food is the same which she has and what I have, I think. But she has also mushrooms, but I don't want those. At the end, both of them have eaten all the mushrooms, because Lica also likes them, but then Jeve wants more, and they are all gone, and I've always said not to mushrooms, but now I see them to the left of my plate, on the table, not even on a plate, and wonder whether I will eat that. I must have forgotten that I had these.
The situation was more complex than that, some other thought or discussion was involved at the same time and linked to the eating situation, but I can't remember it.
Last part of the dream, back inside to where the living room is, this happens to be my house, but rather large, and that is when I remember, this is indeed my house but I had forgotten is was so big. The house reminds me of the one I lived in with Bale three years ago.

D is there. And something needs to be done, and I even if this is not my business everyone expects me to lead the ritual, and I know what is to be done. In the living room, which has three sections, there are three graves, you can see the stone slab in the floor, in each section. And I tell them that I want to do the rite there, at the first tomb stone. D has a little fear about this, while I think this will create a splendid link with the otherworld. D is suspicious so he inspects the inscription on the stone at one side, opposite is a door, and I do think it is wise to close it, because otherwise unwanted spirits might enter. But I am happy to do the ritual here, though in the meanwhile I don't remember what it is about, this is because I am starting to wake up. The inscription that D reads makes him shudder and he has some fears. Other people were there that should be in the rite, or for whom the rite would be done.

Dead and Alive in another Time

1. Two Worlds

Language course was a major topic in the dream.
Underground place. Debu is confused, this was above ground. But thinks will go well in the long run, because we take care of everything, regulate everything.
All this appears to be a vision of the future and of a parallel world (can't read notes). This was a real parallel world, not the kind I usually dream of.
In the same dream something about a boy, at the end of the dream I remember his name as Ryan, though it is not the correct name, only, the colour and sound of the name are similar, red colour, sparkling.
Then, something something, she knows (?), key stuck (?), incidental something something, knows her from years ago, but has forgotten the name.
Twice Debu. One dead in the basement, and one alive who we can actually help, because she has notes and sketches of the other. I suppose with the other her dead self is meant, which is in another time, and or in a parallel world. Dark. Time travel. I am not panicked by this at all, but am rather happy, joy.
After that I stay in the prison, but do so of my own free will and something something (can't read notes). Something about Holy Nicholas in Naamsestraat.
Something or someone has forgotten that I was still there.
I show myself when I hear music and people, and then I also dance.
Someone in particular wants to see me, and this is a spirit, but I never see the spirit only sense its presence, this is at the very end of the dream, but even when I wake and take notes I feel the presence.
This was all one dream, but can't remember well, not anymore how the time frames and two worlds worked, nor the chronology.

2. Imitating Colleague

Brva and Kr. I am also there. Deserted building, or dimension, trying to escape it. I can do this by means of paint or glue.
Before that something about pencils and paint, which I used or were used for Loli and her husband.
Something about food, food in general, and this is a reason to move house. Brva must do a quiz with her arms (?) to compare something with a tv program. Kr imitates her, being not original.
School, empty rooms.
Something about (can't read it), ..., price. Something esoteric is there too. Maybe a blind boy, Brcr is here too. 
Something about Dao, a saying: famous stars become Ing Rune (?).
A pile of books.
I am the one who sees the occult truth of something or a situation, and I am proud, this is the feeling in the dream.

Into the Painted World

1. Cracked Horn

A man is filming himself. House I am not familiar with. All the time I am holding a small drinking horn, which is filled with some kind of cream, and the horn has cracked and is split. So I have to hold it all the time, otherwise I would spill the content. It is not explained to me why I have to do this, but I know I can't let go. I walk around with his, avoiding the other persons. The house is built in such a way that it feels like a place in between worlds. And some rooms feel different than others. I avoid the rooms that are too close to the normal world, which is on the left, I stay on the right. Brick walls, grey, dark slate.
In some rooms the cream which looks like butter and is therefore solid, sinks, and in others it rises. So I have to regulate this constantly, because when I walk from room to room, I have to adjust the level of the cream again. I don't know how to describe this cream, maybe it also looks like ice cream, but it is room temperature.

2. Claw of Fire

Maybe the same dream.
Then there is something with words, and they are used as codes. Such a code is Claw of Fire, which is in fact Glorifier. There were many puns like that. I can't remember what this is about, but it was mysterious.

3. Haunted by Monsters and Painted World

Maybe the same dream still.
I arrive home from work, I have traveled long and no one is home. I am at the home of my parents. It is night so I make ready to sleep. The house feels empty and deserted, as if all the family has gone away for some reason. Yet, when I go to my bedroom, I see behind the window, standing outside on the porch where the front door is, a large puffin. It is so large that I almost mistake it for a penguin. This is a spirit. I know it immediately, but the bird is hiding, because it wears a white towel all over its body. And I have to turn back to my room and look again to see what it actually is. I was on my way to the bathroom. I also see there is snow on the porch.
Inside, when I go back to the living room area, I suddenly see a black cat with bright yellow eyes running swiftly, and rather big, in the dark. And I immediately recognize that one as a spirit too. And then things become a little creepy, because I sense and see many ghosts in the house, and I am all alone and by myself. This sensation is the kind that makes you want to wake up and once you wake up not be able to sleep again, but it was so soft and gently and I was determined enough that I had no trouble with the presences.
At some point, my brother D comes to me and teases me. This is very creepy, because he does it as a ghost, in the veranda and in the kitchen. In the dream I cannot catch my sleep, though I know I should have gone to bed a long time already, and in the kitchen I see the time, it is about 1.25 in the morning. And that is when I decide to go to bed. N is also there and something about a beetle.
Now the house is filled with weird beings and monsters, they look very weird. Some just stand their and watch. (I did not take notes of how they looked, though in the dream it was very clear). At that point my parents also come home, one monster is following me everywhere. Something about a Rhino, or the word Rhino. (Maybe this is related to dream 2).
Later something about a film or making a film.
Later we walk the length of the street of our parents, B-street, to the beginning and something about a deserted house (I suppose this is where dream 1&2 come in). The spirits follow me, (can't read notes). Want me? Something something. This house has always been there, but now it is deserted, empty, grey. We go in anyway. Something about other people.
Inside is more light, a witch is in the house, I can't remember when or where we met her. She is in the corner of a large room. I am not scared of her at all, but she creates a painting on the floor which is 3D. Many colours, bright colours, wonderful sight.
Then I go into this painted world, and it is like a parallel world, only you keep contact with the room at all times. The world goes over me like waves, especially green. This is like a sea, but very different. N is with me and goes in as well. I want to test the reality of this world, and have a knife in my hand and intend to cut the leg of my brother, because he wears his swimming suit his leg is naked. My theory in the dream is that he should not bleed because according to the laws of this world no colour can be added and there is no red, only blue and green. So I go behind N and cut his thigh which must hurt, though I can't know whether he will feel pain or not, but the cut becomes red, so he bleeds anyway. The colours are real.

4.Special Children

I am home alone. 
Then my mother is there and she tells me she plans to go to China for a year. With this she means I have to watch the house. This results in me being alone in the house, and I am not looking forward to it.
Obviously my father will go with her. My brothers are also present. But there are also children. First they are adolescents, I have to take care of them along with the house, about three guys, and I look forward doing things with them. Then one of them, the only one I give attention, appears to be only twelve years old. The man looks like a customer that was in the shop recently. When I look around me now I see that the others have become younger as well. I think it is still okay, because twelve year olds are still easy to deal with.
Then I go to the kitchen, but the children have become really young now, like seven or eight, and I don't like that, because I don't want to take of small children at this point.
All of these children are gifted or talented in a special way. I can sense and see it, but none of them performs, maybe because they never learned. Anyway, I recognize they are special children, and I feel my responsibility increases with that, but it also makes me proud that someone thought that I am the right person to educate these children.
From note: I explain the rule.

5. Nail Clipping

Same dream.
In the middle of the night I wake up and I go to the dining room, sit down on a chair and start clipping my toe nails, of my left foot only. I am very careful, because it seems one of the nails is become loose and might fall off, I don't want that, so I ignore it and clip it carefully, but it happens two or three times, always the same nail, but I can't remember which one, maybe thumb, or either the one next to that. There is another nail which is wrong in a way, because the nail is fragmented, splintered, and it is difficult to clip.

Jusm is there and me, somewhere, and we watch a film. There is a character with a name that sounds like the combination of Magdala and Nanna (can't read notes). A girl is about, but although I touch her a few times to see if she likes me, because she is beautiful, she goes to Jusm all the time. This happens twice. Jusm and me are on an edge, there is some party going on, but we just stand there, because we don't know what to do. This girl, dressed in some purple, long brown hair, healthy, in a pony tail, passes and talks to us, she directs her attention to Jusm, I try to get her attention too, she is sensual in a way. Jusm does not see any of this.
Two times are different, and I know I am still in the same dream.
Later, in a different place in the house, a man is playing with matchbox cars, we join, a woman is there. Lots of cars. I don't see the meaning of it.

6. Wrapping Herbs

Last dream.
I am helping at the till, unfamiliar surroundings, half outside. Women at the counter, I happen to be there and decide to help. Two tills.
The second customer is difficult. She has lots of things, all tiny, about seven or nine. At the same time another customer is there and has only two things, somewhat bigger. I work on the right till, the woman who was there already on the left. I just finished my first customer and now I can take on the next, which is the one with many thing, but the woman is also ready so there is some confusion among the three of us who will do the customer, but I take it and the woman on my left is relieved, because she knew it would be trouble, but I can take it. All customers are also women.
I ask the customer whether these things need to be wrapped with gift wrap, and she says yes, and I ask if all must be wrapped separately and she explains how things should be wrapped, so I start with that. And I sort the things. The things look like trinkets. Two are bigger, but still small, like a fourth of the palm of my hand, and the others are smaller, like one section of a finger.
When I start wrapping the first, I take one of the big trinkets and something else, but the something else changes into a herb, like parsley, and it becomes very difficult to wrap. I have very ordinary paper, and I try but I have difficulties. I have also trouble with the tape and taping it, so I leave it aside, when I am finished, but it is not well done. Then I turn to the next, but by now all trinkets have changed into herbs, and it is very difficult to pack. I take a bunch which was next. Postelein, she explains. Rose Moss. I try to be very gentle, but I can't get it wrapped and it becomes complicated. Maybe Rue. I try to finish that second package, but it does not work, and now the first one comes loose. I don't know what to do.

Dancing Stars

1. Gay Sex

Hall, a quiz is going on, space, reading a comic book. I let it read by someone else (over my shoulder?).
Other dream. Sex. First with a woman, and then someone else's turn, but it is a man, and I promised I would, so I can't back out now, and I begin, and he enjoys it very much, but I am not really happy about it and want to stop it after a short while. This is outside, but some sort of temple complex, ruins, beside a wall, and on a wall, and stairs everywhere, some kind of transition zone. And the woman disappeared behind me and the man came from in front of me, and I stay put. And the man is an older man than me, and he is famous, an actor, I recognize his face, still I don't like him. I don't like his character.

2. Lapis Lazuli

Home of parents, but is at the same time a shop, and this function predominates, so I don't recognize the place as a house. There is an Englishman who is the person who initiates a whole chain of events, which makes out the dream.
Looking for a book. Something about relationships. There is a very relaxed atmosphere and the house looks much bigger than it is in reality.
To get down in the basement, you have to go outside first, then via the terrace there is a stone entry (which leads down?).
At the same time, and at a certain point I am there, diggings are being done at the neighbours' place, this is where H&B used to live. Close to the border with our piece of land, we are digging in the earth, and I am the one with my boots and a shovel that is in the pit, working. I can feel the dirt around me. I recognize the feeling. Brfr is there. In the meanwhile I am naked.
This nakedness did not happen at once but in stages, at first I only was without shirt, then without something else, and so on, so that eventually I was stark naked at the moment I was digging this hole. I don't mind at all, but I am actually feeling a sense of freedom and comfort.
The digging at the neighbours' place is connected to their basement. Am I digging their basement?
Hafr comes and stands there. I am in the earth, alone still, but before me other people were working here.
I find something down there. A piece of wood, art, and I say that it is edible. So I hand it over to Hafr and makes her eat it. I am convinced you can eat it. But then her mother comes at her side and keeps an eye out and she does not like what she sees, and she things the thing I found is disgusting. (Hafr must have eaten it before her mom arrived).
Later on I have to go back to this hole, this might be in another dream, or later in this same dream, I don't know anymore.
Later also, parents are there, they buy a certain book, and I want one of those. That is the moment that I am again inside of the house, at the side of the neighbours and looking out through the window and at the same time it feels like I am outside, or there is no roof, and I am alone, although consciously I know there are people behind me but they certainly don't pay attention to me. And I look at the night sky, because it is dark already, and I watch the stars and see that there are many out, but there is something funny about them. Some look very close, and there are too many, they are too bright, and in clusters, and the clusters consist of blue stars and golden stars, and then I see them move as well, on the spot, and now they seem very close, as if on the firmament, outer layer of the atmosphere, almost within reach. Upper right corner of my sight and I keep looking. And one clusters becomes very alive, and on the spot where they are they dance, move around each other, and the blue ones and golden ones mix or change into each others colours, and it is a wonderful sight, and it has something spirited about it.

3. Cosmic University Refectory

Refectory of school or university. Long dream of which I only remember fragments of the last part. I am with a club, they study here. I am visiting and not informed about the local customs and I feel very out of place and follow my friends everywhere, and one of the guys is telling me the whole time how things work, the group I'm in is mixed, and first we enter from somewhere, but I catch the dream only when we are halfway, but we already carry trays, and then at the end turn left, everywhere we pass tables, and most are occupied. We passed our table in the beginning where I became conscious of the dream, but we had to go to this other end so I follow them. Something something. Then looking for a place, then things become complicated, because there is some sort of rule that is obeyed naturally by the students and without question is that when you change level you can no longer sit with your old level but you move on to the next group and sit with them, you never see your old friends again. My friends explain all this, and this is happening at the same time to one of their friends. In the meanwhile we go back to sit at our table, I observe the other tables, and they are all very tight groups. In the meanwhile I have also worked out why this is so, because within a group every one of the planets must be represented, or at least everyone is represented by a planet, and I get the information intuitively about three of them, but only remember one, which is the last, who is Saturn. This I remember, though I don't know who this was, and I don't know this people from elsewhere or without the dream or even within the dream, because I was only visiting and not a permanent member of any kind.
When we go back to our table, every thing is grey, light, greenish maybe, but light and grey, very clean, orderly, I am reminded of the earth dream of before and I say this in this dream. I am reminded of this because there is something about the way I should sit at the table, I see the floor is a bit weird and the stones are weird, instead of a real floor, and I have to put my feet or legs through, and it gives me the sense of digging in the earth. I have to do something like shoving my feet in an aperture of stones in the floor to be able to sit.

4. Asteroid at Midnight

In the dream it is the middle of the night, and I wake up and I get up and go to the kitchen. In the dream I know perfectly well where I am but I don't know the place from reality. Phpa is in the kitchen, we are stay with the three of us in this house, we are renting it for the weekend, special occasion because something is supposed to happen. And Fras is also here. There is also another woman.
Phpa is up and working in the kitchen. The kitchen is big and simple and cold, I mean it looks indifferent. And when Phpa sees me he thinks that is the time to start cooking, a good moment now I am here, because I will surely be hungry. He is making mashed potatoes. And he offers me a glass of warm water, hot water, which is used for tea, but there is no tea. I would expect him to offer me tea, but now he decidedly gave me just the hot water.

I ask the woman who is there whether she is good at running and she says yes. I suppose this has something to do with what we are here for. And she is standing somewhere else, I can't remember if she moved. She was first behind me and now in front of me to my left. Yet I hold her. This is when she is behind me, no, I get up from my chair, I go to her when she was behind me and I stand next to her and I suddenly hold on to her, she cares not for this, but it helps me. I need this especially to be able to sleep again, to get rest, to get my peace, so I do this anyway even if it is unconventional, because I don't know her, but I know her kind of energy. She is taller and a bit older than me. She heals me in a way, but after a while she starts to collapse, never so bad that she actually falls, but she gets a headache and I know I have to support her first and then let go of her.
At that point the mashed potatoes are ready and Phpa wants to give each of us a share. That is about the time when Fras awakes and joins us in the kitchen, sits down. There is a particular reason why we are all awake. Something woke us. And the hypotheses that we are all thinking is whether there would be an asteroid to be seen outside in the sky, or passing by, or heading for earth. Something like that would be happening, but we can't look outside, but the collective feeling points in that way and I suppose that is also the reason why we are here in the first place.

Answer the Lady

1. Apparition of a Girl

I'm in the car, in the back seat on the right. N is driving. D is next to him. We are in the street where my parents live and going away from home.
A story is being told. There is a girl that reminds me of Dore. She is telling the story. She is outside of the car and hovering with her face towards us, and seemingly connected to the same space in which we are sitting, because she moves with us at the same rate and with the same comfort. Maybe at the same time we are somewhere else, stationary.
At some point in her story she suddenly speaks my name and this is to get my attention, but most of all to stress that what she is saying is meant for me, and after a while also to point out that what she is doing she is doing for me and I should do something for her as well. She speaks my name again, but louder. And then louder again so that I am really caught by her voice as if she commands me and I fear that my brothers hear me, because that is embarrassing. Though still I feel I have to bring up the courage and say something back, and best of all with the intention of going out on a date, so I out loud say something back that is very dubious, and she gets the picture, and I am fearing that my brothers might have heard me or may think weird things about me, because I don't want them to know this aspect about me, but at that point it seems they have not even heard her voice at all and that is when I start to think that maybe the whole thing was perceived for me personally, and my brothers did not even hear my answer to the lady.
This was a very strong feeling when she said my name right to me so loud.

2. Past Test

There is a situation where everyone who is in my dream is preparing for taking a test and everyone is nervous because it will start any minute now, but I don't connect with the atmosphere at all and I am not nervous, and I don't know what all the fuss is about. But the thing is that the test they are about to take is something I've done in the past already. 

3. Inro writes a Text

Shop. List is there, and also the salesman of the comic books. This person, or List (?), is also informing about a special day that is about to happen, because everyone is talking about this day, and she has no idea.
Other fragment. Lids is there and Kivo is also there, two main characters. I have them on the phone. Shop environment. Colleagues. There is a small piece of text, Inro wrote it, ..., I read it, it has potential but you can tell she has not done this a lot.
Spirited dream?

4. Spoiled Kid

What shall we wear?
We are all at table. Pebr and Ande and Elbe and Bale. First we watch a video, among other things about ??? and then we eat food, and something else.
There is rice porridge, but it looks not like it should be, though I think a sweet tooth would still like it, but I stay away from it. I met this dish twice in the dream and it confused me, because the ingredients were all replaced by other things.
At some point there is some discussion going on. And something I say about the son of Pebr and Ande, that he is too spoiled. And some agree, but it is hard to tell the parents, but this is a time for truth.

5. Coded Text

I understand the words. A woman asks if I can understand the words. After that she explains the code herself. (Maybe linked with dream 3).

6. Rice Pudding

Something about Brussels. Banana. Rice pudding , with chocolate chips. Something about disease, and something else.

Elephants on the Background

1. Fantasy World

Something about runes to win a girl. 
I am self confident.
Walking in a circle. Three paces forward and then add a rune. And later taking two runes away.

Something about a quest. On my way with a group of people, like pathfinders. We are in a fantasy world. Certain quality, depth, green of trees. Elephants, brownish, by the trees, a lot together, on a plateau, this is their world.
I am teaching a small kid something about spirits. He asks me whether all the dead come from the earth. He question is rooted in the fact that he can see them. I give explanations, but confirm what he says. In the meanwhile we go downstairs, stone stairs, maybe somewhere outside. Unknown place.

There are two kids that travel along with me the whole time, though they are in the background all the time. Because of their ability to remain unseen I want to unmask them, because they are spirits. (These are spirits, I can feel it). You are only safe with spirits when you unmask them is the underlying message.
They are preparing an ambush for us, something, but we can bribe them with gifts, in this case books. They like that. They must be the spirits. (The dreams were very spirited).
So we continue on our quest. To the main city (?), and they follow us. They want to serve us. That means, they must have become attached to us. The city is full of people. Short life (?) (of spirits?).

2. Hiding for Barbarians

We travel with horses, and maybe on horseback, through the fields, nature, countryside. There are different groups and all have their own ambitions. Murders. Fighting. I fight one against all. When this happens, I am fighting with the toy swords, katana. And I hit everybody. On the body, and I count the body points that they loose: two, two, two, and so on. Group of people.
This is almost the end of a dream. I was alone with someone at first, in the field, away from the other people and somewhat hiding, I did not want to be seen by the others because we were not good friends, yet I wanted to be in the same place, possibly because I had some work to do there too, that can only be done there, which is the reason why they are all here too, and I suppose in the past we were all one big group in peace.
Then when they finish, they see me. I was hiding by a tree and a shed in the middle of the field, but at the end I also come out and go to the pathway. That is where I meet them. I am closer to the exit anyway. That is my advantage.
Maybe I was painting by the way.

More on the same dream.
There is a troupe of barbarians. It is me they want. This is a game. Sword. Something else. I hide. I finish them. Also a board game, and brother D is there.

3. Fund Raising

Raising money for something (I can't read my notes). Midnight, home.
Other fragment, at table (can't read my notes).

4. Shop Balloons

In the shop. Liha and Digr are on the side, on my left, and talking, so not paying attention to customers. I should not be working today, but I am, so I do my best, but I am not informed about the latest news.
A customer comes and she has a big straw bag full of balloons, not blown yet, this is the other way around than usual, because we usually give balloons to the kids. Now she wants to hand over one to me. I accept at last, taking a blue one, there are plenty of that colour, and I remember them from before, but nowadays we don't have this colour anymore. I try to blow it where I stand.
Later, the telephone rings. I take the phone, because the others are all talking or pretending to be busy. (I can't read my notes). Something China? Something something.
Light.

Spider Key

1. Pool Game

It is the birthday of my brother N, or some other kind of festive occasion why we are all gathered. I surprise him (can't remember how).
He wants to go to a swimming pool and says (something, I can't remember), something about a group of ten girls, they are there, I see them. I say (something like) two is enough, and (something like) to run against (I can't remember the whole sentence right).
At the pool. I'm sure the water was very clear. He says that he follows everything. I hesitate a moment or two but then I enter the water as well.
In the meanwhile the girls are ready to swim and I queue up (?), two or three. Two are in the way of a girl (I can't remember what the notes mean).
I simply swim tracks in the pool. There is also a game going on, which is to find the hidden coach. And this is done by a four legged spider, long legs. I see the spider against a wall, that means I win the game, but I say nothing, because I don't want to get involved. Noticing the game made me notice the spider. There is a hatch, beneath the 'spoon' box, and this is a secret doorway. The spider or its location has something to do with it, but I can't remember what. Light all throughout the dream.
I don't trust this whole thing, yet I find it.
Later when I come back home, there is no more grass on the lawn, because it is too dry.
Early dream. Maybe the first one of the night.

2. Cash Machine Crashes

Something about a goblin (kabouter). Real one. I know and see him all the time, but he hides all the time, and after a while I forget about him.
Also something about time traveling, which was prominent in the dream, but which I also forgot by the end of the dream.
Water.
Something about returning a book. Big book. Something about food.
My dad is here. Eight something.
Then a scene in which I want to withdraw money from a cash machine, the one at the Ladeuze square. I try and it does not work. I don't panic, because this happens all the time, so I try again, confident. Second time takes an even longer time and I am totally helpless. I manage to get my card back and try a third time. At this point, other people want to make use of the machine in the wall, and Dofo is here, too, and the others, such as Vide and Pesl. But this time the machine crashes and the screen itself disappears, there is nothing anymore.
Two people behind me were already there to make use of the machine.

Dark, gaming, two other guys in the room, basement down below, stairs on the right, is where I entered. Screens in front. Sofa in the middle. Purple, green, blue. I know the games they're playing and want to be part of it. A long time I play on my own but always get stuck in the opening of it. Yet I must have played this long ago.

3. Rabbit

Something about Watership Down, the bunnies that is.
Something about a book, Liha, and the same book again, but in a different size.
Eating olives at some point in a dream fragment.

Underground Hoodoo Altar

1. Train to Holland

On the way back from Germany, with the train, first going to Holland, my brothers are with me, especially D. I see the countryside, blue and green, trees. We are outside, stop in between, discussion, uncertain about next step. Something about the borders, Limburg. We follow him, or her? D? Get on the train, food, sausages?
Something about the accent of the people living here. I understand what they're saying anyway, but it is funny. At the same time there is a group old people, inside on the train, and we share the cabin with them, they sit on one side. I don't mind, they're harmless.
This was an early dream, first I remember, first cycle of the night.

2. Candle Magic

Same dream, what happened later in the dream.
Train. Outside. Bale is there, Joja and my mother. I don't like it that Joja is here, because I don't want to be disturbed, and he always makes a fuss or gives comments.
Inside, on one side, I do something on my own, which is burning candles, I have an altar ready here and it is always on it seems, but three of the candles are not burning well and I have to tend them again and again. I go back and relight the wicks. Only three, the two behind are not necessary. The three are the middle, west and south. Bees wax all of them, except maybe the middle one. There is all kinds of stuff on the altar. The altar is on a weird place, like the underground subway station, the rails nearby, a public place. Right next to the stairs, yet I don't think anyone else sees this. Voodoo.

Every time I relight the candles. Joja is nearby, doing something else, like waiting for the train or figuring out which train to take. I think he suggest going to Roma (can't read notes). Anyway, I tell him no, so I stay behind.
Across of the rails I see white animals, maybe like hermelijn, ermine. Many of them, a whole population, they are like animals of another world, they watch, I see them, but there is no interaction. They live there in the dark and wait. Some of them are on the rails.
A girl stays behind too, young, and she is wild. And we connect in some way, and I tear my pants, hinder part, but the whole length of the left leg. And at the end of the dream I sit on the girl (?) or the other way around (I can't read my notes and can't remember). At the same time on the stone stairs, broad, I see Kaco, this is a lucid moment. I cannot let it bother me.
First dream of the night.

3. Training

I'm training to go to the ... (can't read notes), and something about Suske and Wiske, which I now can't remember, but they were like real people, and were in the dream a long time, though only in one scene.
Garage of parents at home. Elite something. Something about a space shuttle, can't remember.
Something something, maybe Great Force (?), spirit (?), teacher, notebook about dreams. And something else I can't read anymore.

4. Take my Job

I'm in the Diestsestraat, noon time, electro shop Expert, which is in the dream all the way at the end of the street, near the station (normally not so far). I go in. Two guys are working there of whom I now they've been working there for a long time, but a new person is also there, a girl, young. Long hair, maybe red? She's new. I have no real business here yet I am here, in my break. This is her first day, but she is being taught, and she will start in July, or September. 
The boss of the shop sees me, he knows me. The shop is empty, but big, and square. He comes and gets me and says I can start in August, because when I enter it seems like I'm looking for a job, but I have to declines, because as he should know I am working. I am surprised he does not take that into account
The parents of the girl are also there, distracted. When I come in I hang my jacket at the wall with the thing for jackets. The girl and her parents see this and they do the same as well. I think they are happy someone showed them. I did not do this on purpose.
I look around, obviously I am well acquainted with the shop and its owners, for what reason I cannot say. When I start to go back I see a wall with books, that interests me, though it is not the kind of book of my interest. All big with hardcover, light, white covers, photographs, interior and so on, art maybe.
Then I will need to go back to my job.

Later in the same dream. Taiji. I show my taiji, to a woman who is interested.
I am alone with a girl that is interested. She is doing another form, but does not mind, and I don't mind, although Joja is very critical. He follows me around. I show her pushing hands, especially double shoulder roll, because in the dream I think this is the most all around exercise in which everything can be explained, and I start very detailed, first with one arm, left, and then both, and at every time I say what needs to be done, very meticulously. This is exactly what she wants.
She does her exercises. This is when she sits down on her bottom and starts to spin. I think this is very weird and I stand by. And she explains this is for sensing energy. And I'm sure it works, but she stays on the floor and lies full length, and after a moment of considering I go to her and pick her up by the waist, like you would with a cat. And she trusts me, she does not even notice I have to replace my hands, because I had not a good grip on her body.

5. Taiji Contract

Related to the above (4). I enter the side of a building, but it is the only place to enter, and I have to be in this building for preparing taiji class or workshop. When I enter there is also a woman and she is interested in what I do. The hallway is very small, and narrow, and there is also a long table or closet, so less place even. That is where I meet her and she hands me papers, about five, and this must be some kind of agreement, colour coded, red, blue and green, I think.
After that I go to the main hall, which is just next door, and my brother N and my mother are there, and the training hall is empty, this is a school sports hall. On the far end there is the seats. I go there. Preparations need to be made. Or maybe things need to be broken up?

6. Staples dropped in Bath Tub

The staples I pulled out of my pants drop in the water. This happens by accident, I don't mean to. And I had done water in the bath, so that is where it is. I have a plate, I want to take all of the staples out.
