Sea Fight

1. Sea Monster Fight in the Surf

Somewhere in the Belsenakestraat. There is a fight between two sea monsters, they are controlled by humans, each monster has a boss, I am caught between the two as it were, but I keep my centre. Water is wild around me, like the waves that crush on a rocky beach, clear water. The sea monsters look almost like water dragons, but more real, like big eels, one with more blue, one with more red. I know what it is.
Before that we arrived in the street, but it was not the same as in reality, though this is a perspective I've seen more frequently in other dreams in the past.
There are friends of mother, (can't read my notes), they act a little bit crazy, as if none of those people are normal, but it was not an offensive craziness.
I might be there to babysit, but I'm not sure now.

2. Orca Skin

Same dream.
Belsenakestraat, from where we live we go to somewhere else. On the street itself I am dragging tough orca skins. One real one and everyone detests it. It is a big square lap of skin on the floor, on the street. All this while it rains and the wind blows heavy, and I go get it. I do this because no one else does and I can't leave it there, but at the same time I have another kind of skin with me, that feels very different, but is my personal one. The orca one lies there lost, no one wants it, no one has the courage to go and get it, but when I do, I am almost rejected by the others.
I drag the whole package behind me, together with the other one that I really need, and I also have a yellow hand towel. I throw it somewhere (can't read notes). Here I have a heavy feeling or thinking about Chwe, though she is not in the dream, and nothing seems to be related to her, yet, in the back of my mind I relate the dream to her. There are fir trees, big ones, and slim ones, but very high, more were there before. This must be the back yard of parents, but the pines are now in another place than where they were in reality. I am happy to see that still a few are standing. I start something something, everything will be alright.
I start to explore on my own. Can't remember the rest.

3. Eating all the Gnocchi

I am preparing gnocchi. My dad is here, inside, I want to cook, I want to start, while all the others seem to have time. I already start to eat. I wonder how I should make it, because the more flour is around it the more the sauce thickens, there is spinach and cream. Nobody comes. This might be at the house of parents. And it may even be in the front yard.
After that I am still hungry, that is because I have eaten only a few gnocchi, because they are big and it is supposed to be for the others too, but they don't come, and I am still hungry, so I decide to eat the others too without feeling too bad. I would normally not do this, but at this point I can't care about the future, if the others still want food later, then we simply have to make something new. This is a new in my personality.
My dad and brother D are expecting someone, maybe that is why they stay behind, look out.

4. Too Much Wind

Outside, I got a lift somewhere with a car, and now I have arrived. Maybe badminton.
Small group that something something, parking, crawling (can't read notes well). Lots of wind.
Later at the same crossroads (imagination, not referring to a place in reality). Maybe making a fire. But it does not catch, because there is too much wind.
Then we queue (?) to order food at a stall. This feels the same as being at the coast.
(Can't read my notes).

5. Electricity Hammer

Late dream. I can't remember well, there were people around me and this was inside, excited atmosphere and light, tight space, I have some kind of hammer, but bigger and not really in the shape of a hammer, more a cudgel maybe, and I smash with it, and there is lots of electricity, but the electricity is always present in some way. Powerful weapon.

6. Loyalty Card

Dark, inside, top of a building, central in the room is the till, but it is right in the middle, so you can approach it from all four sides. This seems to be a clothing shop. I am not sure I work here. Things happen.
There is one middle aged man I remember, and later he comes to me to pay, and I am at the same side of the counter as the customers. There is another person working here and he or she is in the middle itself.
Now when this man comes a second time I am the one to settle the bill and we both hang over the counter and I ask him if he has a loyalty card or wants one and he starts completing the form. Then the rest of his family comes, and they all buy things, and before I know it they are all completing forms for loyalty cards, and when I realize I start saying that they might be using one and the same, but I'm not sure this is a good idea because that complicates things for me, so I don't force anything, anyway that thought was superficial because I was slowly waking.
Now at the same time, the daughter is at my side and to my left, and I step a little closer to her and she does not mind, and maybe she reminds me of Magi, and I'm sure I know the girl in the dream from somewhere. She is not awfully pretty, but nice enough, and all the while I try to get closer to her and she even cooperates. At some point I lay my arm about her and she says nothing but does not refuse me either. A bit later I go even further and it is as if our heads lie on top of the counter and I look for her lips, and find them, there is no real kiss, and she does not move at all, but she does not turn me away either. When I realize that I make another move, with my hand this time, and I feel for her breast and I even feel her nipple, and this is nice. And she never pushes me away, but everything rather happens by itself, and it even feels as if she welcomes it or cooperates or helps me. There is one point near the end I want to get into a better position so I tug a bit at her body, but she opens her legs, and I can get on top of her.
They're from Germany or France or Switzerland.

7. New House

There is a last dream, which might just be a hypnagogic something.
I enter my home, which is on an upper floor, and it looks very different than where I live now. White, big window to my left. I know the place, but it is either a long time since I have been here or this is a new house. I can't remember the details.
In the corner behind me there is a line with small pincers, like from Ikea, all in white. I try to remember why it is there.

Lightning Path

1. Deep Sea Ship

Mefa, car. We are a full car, I'm in the right front seat and don't have a good sight of who is with us. Two male friends and two female. Maybe Rigr is there.
At some point I am on my cycle. On the road, behind a bus, there are many buses and where I go coincides with their routes, partially, and I know this so when I come to this T crossing I know I have to be careful. I follow, (possibly I mean behind the bus). 

At some point there is something about the bottom of the sea, and this is really deep and I am pulled down constantly, although I don't even resist. Someone goes down to the bottom to get something, maybe this someone is Woli. He is happy, until something or someone has gone and got it. This was a very powerful dream, the current was strong.
There is a ship, very big, deep and in wild water. Woli or something something is beneath the ship. The ship is colossal (reminds me of hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy). He can't breathe or move.
Mefa says something to Rigr, something like: you smell after alcohol and you're not even Chwe.

2. Wind and Lightning Storm

I've been gathering money, like in a shop, but this is my own project, although the money is not necessarily mine. I'm outside.
There is a field, it reminds me of the one across where my parents live, but the whole surroundings is different. You can see far, because the landscape is somewhat flat. There is a path. I am on a road, too. Nature.
In the shop, Woli is coming, he asks something and wants to order it. He changes into Toha.
Before anything else I have to tidy up behind the counter, and possibly the little room behind that. Only after this do I come to help. There are comic books of Lucky Luke, and others.
I am able to give all of the comics their right place in the shop, this is difficult because of time pressure. Seeing something something, and more comic books will arrive in the shop.
Toha orders something, or maybe it is Woli. I have to look it up, then I find it. My second try is what he looks for, this is a pdf file, either about GTA or Thief, and I show it on the computer on the left till. The file is a manual, it is not exactly what he is looking for, but it is what I find, I don't find anything else. He was looking for two things and asked me at the till. At that point I am already watching the horizon and I am in this field.
There are low chairs maybe for children in the shop, and tables. 
I do away with the pdf file because I am thinking that this is wrong anyway, and why give him false hope. And yet I ask whether it is what he is looking for, and I ask him: is it about pc gaming? Toha does not know what it is, really. It is a present for something something, but that means he does not need to know exactly. Again I try to open the file, to show him, because I had closed it because I thought it was wrong anyway, now I have to show him, because I asked him this question. I can't get it open.
Later in the field, I drop my money, most are notes, and of different currency, and I leave them there in the field or on the field track. Wind starts to blow. I see lightning at the horizon, it is silent because it is faraway. It has rosy, red, and orange colours. I think it is beautiful. It is all around me in front, not behind me. The storms gets heavier, wind and lightning. There is always this red hue when the lightning strikes, and you can see the outline of the clouds.
I go inside, N and D and Beha are there.
Then I run outside again, possibly to connect my money anyway. And the path I run along is struck by ground lightning on my left and right on both sides along the whole length of the path. Like fire crackers, only on the ground, not in the air, but it lights my way in the twilight, bright white yellow sparks, very fiery. I don't know whether I have to be careful or frightened, but I go on anyway, and I think this is special too. It is actually electricity going off all the time, and it does that because the atmosphere is dry. It is dangerous, I know this, but continue anyway.
N is the one going with me outside, I don't think anyone else dares to follow, this is my initiative, N backs me up, I am in front.
N and me walk or run between the firing electricity, like small lightnings, fireworks, a lot of it.
Then the wind increases in strength. And I can tell the paper money will be spread by the wind, so I want to be there before that happens, but the wind picks it up anyway. Immediately I start working to gather the money. I walk to and fro and pick it up from the earth. This goes a lot easier than I had imagined. There are pounds and euros, and there are also pink shrimp which look very tasty. Maybe there is other food. I must have carried this in my arms before, with the money.

3. Leek

I remember something about the green of leek, this on a table, 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.

A Balloon Ride with the King

1. Black Gay and Haunted Concert

Big hall with sections like a library, but full of school books, dark, reds. 
Upstairs in my college apartment, I wake up after a night of going out, and a black man my age is in my bed too. In the dream I know him, but this I find a bit too familiar, though I must have agreed to it for the time being, but now with the morning not anymore. He is obviously gay and everyone knows, I don't mind if he sleeps one night in my room or bed, but that's it. I went out the night before with him. He has short hair, shaved. Nothing happened in the night, but in the morning I still make clear to him in words that I'm not gay.
He feels a little guilty, while it really does not matter to me.
I make myself ready to get up. White socks, which I already wear and then I put big grey ones of wool on top of that. The room is nice by the way, long and one room with all the facilities, bed is in the middle on the right, left side is the outside wall with windows, back side is entry, stairs. 
(Can't read notes then).
Downstairs. Things are very busy, because of the schoolbooks, it is like I am the only one there who has nothing to do with these kind of books, but all the other young people run about like ants. But I helped organize this so that is why I am here.
I walk through the hall.
Later I go to a cafe, house, small training hall maybe, there will be gigs. We arrive there early, by car. Can't remember who was with me, but later certainly D, and later Soro too. The place is kind of creepy, and I know from another time that it is haunted, but we have some appointment or other or were invited. When we arrive we go inside, inside it is open, no roof and the building is on a hill in the woods on a top and looks a bit like a ruin, English country side. Dark already, nightfall.
The host guides us and I know we will have to be cautious because it is haunted, and the longer we stand there listening to the man, the more dead people gather, first one, then another, sometimes in twos or threes, never very close. I know they are harmless, but I don't want to be touched by them anyway, so I move everytime. We stay because we want to hear the music. Maybe something with Michael Jackson.
But also a person named Feynman is mentioned, by one of the men who came with us. He will come later.
Now it gets kind of full and there is no way you can move around without bumping into another person. All the other persons are ghosts. There is an upstairs walk. D and S take this at some point.

At some point I get a present from someone, a lute of some kind, wood all the way, no strings, this looks like a sculpture. I don't really know what it is, but the person giving it to me thinks it is valuable, and I accept, I think it is nice. And it is really carved well, but it is certainly not a musical instrument, more like a piece of art.
When the house is full, the music starts. I see Evvh and go after her, upstairs, not sure if I want to bother her, then I reconsider and ask her if she wants to dance with me. She says no, but I stay with her, so I can touch her.
Beha is also there, and a friend on a motorcycle, who might be this Feynman.

2. King in a Balloon

Upstairs room full of people, light, windows, something like a reception, party.
At some point the king, new king of belgium, F, will take the lift downstairs. I was thinking the same thing at the same time so I follow. We wait for the lift to open. He goes in first, but then other people want to join him of course. There is also a man who guides him all the way. I enter the lift as well, which is rather spacious, but already a step down when you enter. I had not expected so many other people would come along.
Then we are on our way, first a little downward, vertically, then horizontally and very fast, and I can see that this is some sort of cabin, there are air vents on top all the way around, and from there I can see outside and what I expected is a fact, this is a balloon. We are in a balloon's basket, only hyper modern, closed on all sides and very big, metal. But the wind you can feel in the cabin, because of the vents.
At that moment I feel very honoured to be there with the king. At the end of the little tour we go back and I see what is outside while we are still flying. And there is a tall building in the way which I think was the idea to go over it, but we stop in front because we have already lost altitude, I think that is a wise decision.
This is now the entry of the university of Leuven, the science department, and people are waiting outside already, to receive the king. Physics department. 
We all disembark.
Later I watch a film and there are stairs and I put on socks on the stairs, and we see the film in different phases, first one piece, then another. I had got free tickets, but even without those I would have gone, because it was reserved for me anyway, but now the king also deals out tickets to other people, orange ones and dark orange ones. School. Seen many parts of the film, but not the end yet, maybe reminds me of Chwe. That is where the dream ends, last dream and I have to get up.

Burning Ship at Sea

1. Taking in the Monkey

There is a monkey that clings to me, I take it inside with me. Even if I don't know if that is good idea. Dark. House. Urban setting.
Someone, maybe me, has a whole load of food brought along for the monkey. Currently it lies on the floor, I see there is a lot of meat among the food, raw steak and stuff like that, big pieces. It is in a transparent plastic bag. I leave it there for the time being. I wonder a moment if monkeys eat meat, let alone that much, this is more like for a tiger. Brown, slim monkey. Clings to me all the time.
The monkey does what it wills, I have no control over it and it does funny almost mischievous things, which I expect from it, so I don't care. It is only a monkey, it cannot understand.

2. Family Gathering

There is a family get together. My uncle J is there. (Can't read notes). 

3. Hiding from the Sea

We're in Holland with the family, at the end of the world, kind of feel, at the sea, nothing else beyond that point, although I see a ship at the horizon, at some point.
I go to that place, the dunes are high just before where the sea begins, which feels threatening, dark, and stormy looking. Not really dunes, because there is a lot of vegetation. Terp. I go there once, alone, and then go back, because I should not get up there and look at this sea. I think my brothers and parents are here too, but they don't come along. 
Later I go back up, this is when I have gathered more courage in myself and am prepared to face this sea. Still I don't want to show myself to the sea, and I try to hide from where I am sitting at the top of this terp or dune. There is a lot of grass, high, and reed maybe, but it makes it easy to hide. This is when I see the storm, at the horizon on my left are dark clouds gathering, they are really impressive, but a long way ahead, I would have time to go back at leisure and go inside. 
This is also when I see fire, at my right side, closer by, and this appears to be a ship that has caught fire. There is a lot of smoke, black smoke, and that makes the atmosphere even darker. And by this I am more impressed, because maybe there are people on it still, I think I can see human activity, trying to salvage whatever possible. The whole ship has burned, metal, big.
But I decide it is better to get back inside, and this is what I do and that is more or less the end of the dream. The last thing I do.

4. Buying Condoms with a Book

I am in Leuven, evening, wandering about, not many people about because of the time, and maybe it is Sunday. I am in the part where the Grote Markt and the Oude Markt connect. There is a shop instead of the street, in the corner, greenish, I go in because it is open. I have been here before, according to the dream. And I look around, seeing what they sell. When I leave a thought has formed in my mind and I decide to buy condoms because this might be the right moment. I want to have some with me and now not a lot of people are in the shop so no too many will see. I go to where they are and there is only one kind, I pick it up, it is a big package, sort of the size of a book, but square, and on one side the prize is stuck on, which I try to remove for some reason, I get it off only half, the rest sticks on the pack, I don't mind. The bar code is on this thing, dark, purple, black, and it looks a bit like a voucher that you sometimes find on supermarket articles, and can fold open. I take all this to the counter and check whether people see me, two other people are approaching the till, but I am sure to be first, this will be okay. Someone is behind the till, so I expect everything to go smoothly.
I hand over everything, she, or he, scans it, and says the price, which is € 29,95, which at first I think is a lot, but then I think these must be luxury ones and a lot of them maybe. I pay, not to make a fuss. At that point the package is red, a nice red, not too shiny. I take everything with me, under my arm, and at that point this pack is indeed a book and I am surprised to discover that, because I had not expected to find a book with the condoms, but that is a nice surprise and look forward reading it.

5. Taiji Staff

Fragment, dark, in which I or someone else wields a taiji staff. This staff looks like the one I have.

6. Drinking Coffee

Fragment in which I am with other people, someone has a coffee and for some reason I too drink coffee, it is suddenly there and I had not realized, but for the moment when I drink it and taste it. I decide I still not like it.

Meerkat Invasion

1. Taiji

Practicing taiji in a group, inside, in a training hall, half dark, colours strong, not bright, but quality, pushing hands, all people close together as if there is no room, interior wood.

2. Tansy by a Stormy Night

Maybe the same dream.
At home, outside, in the garden. End of the world scenario. The weather is dark. My brothers and me are in the garden, at the side of the terrace, right side, maybe even at the neighbours. There is no longer a clear border between the two. Light and lucid.
We are in a hurry, parents are not home yet, but we try to save as much as we can. The situation is like that of an invasion, but what creatures invaded is uncertain, because it seems to be of animal kinds. And it is the animal kingdom that suffers most, we try to save animals, though only the small ones, all the big ones have been wiped out.
I can't remember exactly what happened, but we had to run for cover ourselves because we stayed to long outside, and all life outside and on the surface of the planet has already been exterminated. So my brothers and me are going towards the garage, which is open. We drag a big reed basket with us, which looks like a barrel. Cylinder shape. Open on top, although there is a lid. It is full of things we try to save, most of it dead, just the shells, and here and there very small creatures still alive, not really insects, can't describe it, maybe it is alien life. N carries it with him, he wants to protect this. We guard it with our lives. Their future depends on us.
Then, when we cross the grass, the garden, to the steps to get to the garage, suddenly a small, long, fox like animal crawls out of the ground, blond, long tail, and looks around and wants to attack. I know that if there is one then there are more, because they never come alone and they live in big groups, and they are all hiding underground. At this point they have to, because the surface is hostile. I think these creatures were the cause of the devastation.
I have my sword with me, taiji sword, but it is still packed in white linen. I feel for the right side of it, so that I don't grab it blindly by the blade, but by the handle, yet I'm not sure and wield it anyway, a little clumsy, like a club, and smash it bluntly on the creature, which moves quickly. The animal measures maybe 35 centimeters in length, the closest I know to it is a fox. Maybe the prairie kind, because of the colours, but shorter legs, crawls over the ground. The animal also reminds me of the meerkat. I keep smashing it, but it goes back underground. I fear more will come, and we hurry.
We get up the steps on the terrace and go to the garage, just in time, because it starts to rain and a strong wind starts to blow.
When we are inside, we place the box first at the opening of the garage and then further in, N carries it, to the door that leads inside. Meanwhile parents come home and drive the car in the garage. We see in the reed basket animal life, small creatures, not bigger than the upper part of my thumb, maybe like very big flees, jump out of the box, about a dozen. It gives me a sense of reassurance.
Then I don't know the chronology exactly anymore, but at some point my brothers go out again and to the front of the house. I follow. The wind blows hard, it gets darker because of the clouds, and it gets a little stormy.
We're on the street in front of the house and watch the spectacle. Something catches my eye immediately, there is a row of certain plants in the field, they have never been here before. And some place in the row is missing, as if someone walked through it or removed it, the row is long and covers the length of the street, but this missing part is only a few meters. I recognize the plant by its yellow flowers, it is tansy.
(More happened or more people were present but I can't remember, a girl present I think).
Now I look at the field proper and I see more rows of tansy planted in it, I don't know why this is and I think it is strange and probably linked with the events of extinction.
I remember a fragment, but it was inside, sitting at a table, other people around, some across of me, maybe this was in the kitchen, he stands up and asks me something, but I tell him I don't have an acre, I mean a field. I repeat that several times.
The wind is very strong.
Once inside, I roam about on my own, because the rest is still in the garage taking care of things I have no knowledge of. I go to the bathroom. Don't remember what happened there. But then I go to the veranda, I see it rain and see the window is open a little. I would like to go out and feel the rain on my skin. I don't know if that is a good idea and think about it a while. But it can't hurt and I go out in the rain. No one sees me, so no one can tell me off. I clearly see the terrace, it is the old one. So maybe it is a memory of very long ago, because the neighbour's house was not there either.
That is about where the dream ends.

Druid Tree in France

1. Iron Tent Skeleton

We are on the countryside, camping, my brother is there, other people. This is an enclosed area, and it seems to be on a height. More likely a field, almost like a football field. By day, light. Clear sky. On the left side, which is mostly behind me is maybe a place or building where people can sit or stand. I don't remember that part of the place very well, but it is darker. And at least the other people who are here go there often. I don't, but I'm stubborn. I stick to me tent, which is of an usual kind.

There are other people camping here, but not much, as if it is low season. But is looks like we are in some sort of competition, and they are all teams. We are too. So there is at least two other persons belonging to our team. Our tent is almost in the centre, but more to the right. Maybe a little further there, too, is a building, like a garage, and maybe a kitchen. But people don't go there, although this feels like my private area, and maybe I go there once in the dream, but can't remember well.

The tent is open and mostly made of metal bars, white, and very long. The skeleton of the structure is very clear, but there is not cloth or cover. Yet there are definite sides, and entrance, and so on. I'm on one side of a table. Most things here are white. Low seat.

I'm doing research there, so I want everyone to be quiet and leave me alone, which is why I am mostly alone in the tent. At the same time, my brother N is guarding the place (from notes).

I'm browsing through a book, which looks like a calendar, those with a page per month. One side is black, but on the back is always a lot of text, very cryptic. I work my way through it, most of it is interesting, ancient. I take notes. It is either runes, or something Sumerian. But most of it I don't understand. Then I come to a passage with new material, and it is about runes. Rune texts found in France.

There is also food served here. So I suppose this is a break from the competition, while I do my work. I leave the tent for a moment (from notes). Possibly I enter this garage, possibly this is the place where I kept the calender slash book in the first place. And which I almost forgot about. (M7R). Then there is (can't read, maybe wind). We're eating pizza, I can remember the slices. I was still eating. Everyone about the table looks a little frightened, not really fear, but unsure, looking at me, as if I'm suddenly going to do something forceful.

Then it is time to disassemble the tent. Chdm is helping me. She's been around the whole time. A lot of people are waiting for me. I'll be giving talks. When we finish the tent, I see there lies a pingpong ball in the grass nearby, and then another one. Lucid moment. Both are bad, broken. I try the first one, no good, then appears the second, no good either, a little better.

I keep studying as long as I can, while other people are taking apart the iron skeleton. Digr is there, my brother and Chdm are doing the tent. They are okay with it.

I am finding interesting stuff.

Then there is someone who comes to check on the water, the utility service of the site. Someone tells me. I don't see the person. I leave this person to his work. I know where it is that he has to be, in the garage. There are two places, I know them both, I know most people err in this. He tells me he's here for the cold water, which means, not the boiler. He asks where it is.

Nede is here too, the daughter of Tama.

2. Yggdrasil in France

We keep going, driving. Me, Digr and Brva. They get along well.

At a certain point I tell them where I want to pass by. This is my trip, they have to listen. I'm in the back seat, they both in front. Light.

We are in France, in the mountains, looks more like the Swiss Alps. So we stop somewhere, where I think it is okay. Road on top of a mountain. Stop by the side. No one else there. Woods, trees, mountains. It is getting evening. There are giant firs, trees. Not dense forested

I want to take a look.

I take a few steps and look around, this is a cool place, it goes a little down, there is an edge further on, but I don't go so far, and besides there are too many trees to get there. Brva is following. The sky gets darker. It looks a bit ominous I realize, as if we are trespassing. Digr also comes.

I go ahead, but a strong wind ensues and the sky looks threatening now. It darkens. Clouds too, big dark clouds. The whole place feels mystical, I like it, but I don't think the other two can see it or feel it. So I stay anyway.

We get ourselves something to eat. Digr and Brva go sit on the bench, wood, that is there to picknick. Brva is in front of me. Digr beside her, on her left. She gives Digr the cheese they have with them, I recognize this cheese, I let it out of the fridge too long and it has gotten a little hard. I don't know if I should tell them this, because I feel ashamed of it. Digr wants the cheese anyway and helps himself, then Brva says: are you really going to take those slices. Because those were the worst. And then she says: you better take slice 5 and 7. They were still okay.

She herself helps herself too, opens a baguette and smears peanut butter on one side and adds slices of cheese on the other. And it has lettuce and other stuff on it too. I think that is really weird. I'm eating something completely different.

Afterwards, we walk into the woods. I still have food with me. That is to say, I found a rock in this place, and started to eat it, and again. It tastes nice. They way it should, I remember.

Early on in the wood I see a stone that is too big to go unnoticed, and then another one and another one, and I know these are sacred stones. There are not monumental though, remind me of the Japanese outdoor stone representations of spirits. They are half covered in the grass or needles, or moss, the woods. I can tell that these stones were consciously placed here and mean something. Again, I can feel the mysticism of the place.

I go right to the edge of the place. It is a bit open where the stones are. And on the right is a very big tree, fir.

In the meanwhile, Brva gives a remark about something, fairplay, and something about Milow or I hear music play. And she hurls it, maybe a stone, purposefully not at the target, whatever it was, I can't remember. I care not. But she does warn for earthquakes, even if it is small.

At this point I have a clot of earth in my right hand and eat it.

I continue in the darkness. By now it is night, or looks that way.

Then I suddenly see the tree, I suddenly look up and there it is. A very huge, thick, gigantic fir. And I see gold glimmer in the top, not the top itself, but near it, in the green of its enormous cover. I find that cool, to find such a thing here. And soon enough I see the rest of the tree. It is really a Christmas tree. There's lights in it everywhere, and more of those gold plaques. And other stuff. What strikes me most are the horns that are placed on some of the branches. They are split at the end. So the open end is used to put it around a branch, but the point is also split, so the horns have a very unusual look. And they are very big. I measure them, they are much bigger than my own horn at home.

Boots also hang in the tree. Because it is not Christmas, I know that the lights are hung in the tree the whole year around. And I think that is wonderful. 

I realize that this is a druid tree, and still in use. So I kneel and pray and give my respects, although it does not change anything in the atmosphere. Digr and Brva have no clue, they are going back already.

Then one of those big horns falls off. Maybe I helped a bit with that. I take it with me and show it to the others. So excited am I. Brva and Digr are gone in the meanwhile.

The dream shifts into another surroundings with me examining the horn. Inside, in a house, with other people, more like minded.

A Strong Wind and Rain on the Roof

1. Wind and Water in the House

I am in a house together with someone else, possibly my lady partner. Then there is someone at the door. It is dark and already late. I go open the door. The living room is slightly deeper, more below, so I have to take a step up towards the hallway.

I open the door. A strong gust of wind comes against me. With the door open, there is an unstoppable and almost unmanagable continuous flow of wind entering and being in the house.

I have to go out so I can close the door and meet the person. It is a man of middle age. But with the door closed behind it, because the wind was really too much, I had to struggle, I cannot enter anymore. I suppose the pressure of the wind is so much that I can't pull open the door. So I look for other ways.

And then it starts to rain. There's a lot of water in the night. I find spaces where I could enter, but none of them direct and they are all dangerous. So I keep looking. All of the creases into the house are difficult to enter with the rain. Everything is slippery and I would lose control if I let myself slip through it, and fall once I'm inside, and hurt myself. And what about the guest if I do?

So I climb up the roof and there are spaces there too, where I could slip in and enter, but again, it is too slippery, I don't want to risk it. I keep looking and looking, but there is no safe way to enter the house again. The only way in is to risk losing my control and hurt myself. I don't want to do that.

So the dream ends with me keeping looking out for a whole in the roof, not finding any, while I hurry and am in haste, frustrated. I woke after this dream.

2. The Ancient Egyptian Immigrant

I am in the States in an apartment, one of the higher floors. Big space. There is fellow sitting across me. I don't know how he entered,but I start a conversation with him, because he looks interesting. First of all he is wearing a cap that looks Egyptian, coloured red. He has an outlandish skin colour and in my feeling he is an offspring of the slave trade in America. Therefore he is African, and I see in him a teacher of Voodoo, so he might have a real connection with Africa too.

When I interrogate him, he stays calm and polite. It is not clear why he is here. Maybe on the run?

When I ask him, he says his name is Pa-at-ka-nan, or something of the sort. The name looks like the name of the Finnish girl that takes the rune course (Vepi). Something like Paak and two other syllables? It has meaning, but he didn't tell me what. And it does not sound Egyptian, but it does not sound anything else either. He makes it clear that he comes from Ancient Egyptian times. I get the feeling he is an alien. He says he is from the first (or ninth?) century of Egyptian history. I guess he has been around like an alien immigrant in Egypt. I reply that he must have known Djoser and the some of the other early pharaoh's if that is true; because I am surprised that he goes that far back. He nods and says, it is Jaser. He pronounces the name slightly different than me. The Dj is much softer and there is clearly an A not an O.

He goes on to tell me about history, I forgot the exact details.

The dream seemed important, especially the name. In fact it seemed to be a residue of my late night conversation online with Dabe on knighthood yesterday.
