Dream interpretation

This is a dream journal. The intention behind it is to also give interpretations on the recorded dreams. In my experience, much of the dream content is prophetic and can be linked to events following the night of dreaming.
Throughout the year 2013 I will keep to the discipline of recording my dreams every morning and interpreting them every evening. That way, people may start to get a feel of how dream symbolism works.

Menstruating

1. Hijacking the Space Ship

Some place I can't remember, buildings, out of the way, we are a group of people. Don't remember the start and the middle of the dream.
Toward the end, we decide to hijack a spaceship, a small one, and do what we think is best, even if it is against authority's decision, so we must take care that they don't see us.
We run toward the more open and lighted place, outside, pavement, and around the corner where the shuttle is. Two of us go in, it is a really small one, just place for two. Mavh and Pheg go in and sit tight opposite each other. They seem to know each other well. There is a yellow button behind and above Mavh. We push this one, even if we know it means the death of them two, but it is the only way to solve this problem we are facing, maybe something like the end of the world. We're not seen when they launch. Then I see in the cockpit, though I'm not in there. They talk to each other, all the time, but they can't hear each other because there is no medium or ether, they're in space, though not that high up in space either. And at some point I can make out words from the lipping of Pheg, the words 'no problem' are in it. They seem to like each other.
Then they get caught. Don't know what happens then.
It turns out the yellow button is an illusion, we are caught, I feel it though it is both of them who are kicked out by the commanding officer, on that same pavement, which is in front of the barracks. His team is there too. He kicks Mavh and Pheg into the mud. They are naked I think.

2. Menstruation Blood of Pregnance

The scene changes. Still the same dream.
Light, I arrive somewhere, happy to be there and rather on a whim, but others seem to be present, all people that I know. First I meet two people on the way, and they were going the same way but I overtake them. I can't remember who. Then on the doorstep where a street crosses and I want to go left, there is Grdr and Clsm, who are chatting in the door, for it is one of either's house.
I have a paper bag with baguettes in it, three or four, don't know why I'm carrying it, and feels a bit awkward, but then the other two from earlier come too and have the same as if all this is planned. And I say hello to Grdr and Clsm, but I don't want to be too familiar either, so I don't know what expression to wear on my face. Recognition or not.
Then I continue my walk, and turn to the right. Here I meet Joja and his friend Kadv. And we are going the same way. This looks like a coincidence, but they seem to know what I am up to.
We discuss something, I can't remember what. 
Then we come in a back alley, but there is light, though a dead end, and people sit on the street floor, among which a lady, and they have wares to show. And we go there and I stop by the lady, and the three of us kneel, and to the right is something which is called 'klima', it draws my attention, though it is exceptional in her stall. And I immediately understand this object is about 'glima' the wrestling of viking age times. And I say as much. And Joja takes a moment to consider. But the lady, our age, says we can still enroll and should do.
That is when I see in this place many people stand up and making ready to fight, all of the men, young and tall. Before I know it I am among them. Earlier I said something about recalling the same in a film about Wolverine.
Now I am fighting one, then the other. And the last one takes the most time and I can't knock it down, nose to nose, so close are we, he is blond, short hair, almost red. We fight, but neither of us can win. I am a bit frustrated by it.

3. Airplane Crash

Still the same dream.
I don't know where I come from but I leave the group which hides in safety and I venture into more public places and this involves returning home, and I have to make sure no one sees me. I'm sure my mother is there, but she does not see me. I go into my apartment, there is a balcony and a small room adjacent to it. I go there to be alone. I have cloths and rags and towels with me, some a bit grey or dirty. But I press them to my behind and there is blood there. And this is why I am here, am the only one that could do this. This is menstruation blood, and it means I am pregnant.
The next moment I realize it is not me, I knew all along, but the negro woman that was in the group who was too afraid to come up here to show herself and speak up and tell she is pregnant. So the blood is all hers, though I am the one bleeding.
Can't remember all of it.
Then I see the night sky and I go out, and when I do it changes into the back of the house of parents. And I see an airplane, quite big, or rather it is low, too low in fact, and goes behind me, to the east, and I follow it with my eyes, curious as to where it goes. Then it suddenly dives down and I think this can't be right. It goes behind the houses so I don't see it. I don't follow it immediately, but then I think I should check and indeed when I go to the front of the house I see on the horizon the skyline of Leuven and the centre of it collapsing. Fire. Again and again I see the church tower collapse. And then two more planes crash and things feel rather apocalyptic and I don't know what to think, thinking this is important and will have serious and lasting consequences, but yet it seems disconnected of me.

Dating Game

1. Preparing for the London Conference
(Wet dream)

There was talk about me visiting London, for which I was preparing, the February conference.
At some point I lie on the floor and Bale too, and she has her back to me and I am close to her, and the atmosphere is erotic, and when I approach her it is what she wants, and I am ready to enter, though I am still not sure. From behind, but when I make ready it is the front and I know I am so roused that I will immediately come, so I think I might as well kiss her at the same time. And I seem to have multiple penises. I am clumsy and I come. This is a wet dream. I wake after this.

Maybe in the same dream.
Dining room of parents, and people are gathered there and there is some dating game going on, and when it starts I am still ignorant of what it is, then a girl in red to my left, she has a lady friend with her, young both, calls my name, so that means I have to answer questions she asks me, in public. And she asks me what my worst personality trait is, and the situation becomes such that I answer: my analytic thinking, and everyone laughs because it suits the situation, which I forgot now.

2. Private Discussion

I am in the living room of parents, visiting Dive, this is a rare moment, because I have not seen him since a long time. Also, this place is meant for just the two of us, no one else knows of it, and thus the place becomes like a place between places, so it feels. But my colleague List is also there and therefore I don't talk to Dive, List thinks this is weird, but I can't talk with Dive as long as she is in the room. This takes a long time, after a while a topic comes up that suits me and I start talking too. Other things happen.

The Bee and the Sun

1. Cat on my Face
(Nap dream)

At some point I was near a pool and somebody told me the sun was out and this was bad, and I said the remedy is to catch the bee. And then I jumped into the swimming pool, inside place, and did that despite the fact that a bee larger than my fist was in there, though I did not see it, but knew it to be so. The bee is dangerous, I did not care.
Next scene was different, I was playing with cat V, and at some point lied down exhausted on the couch, all light and bright, then V jumped on top of me, she placed herself right on my face, my head, and I did not know what was happening, but let her do it, since I like her. The weight of the cat was really a lot but still I let her. I did not know whether to stroke her or not, but I tried a bit, which she did not really like I think, but she did not move either. This was nice, because she's my best friend, and then I realized that she's not my cat and V will not remember me when she moves, and grief suddenly overtook me but I let it pass.

+2. Long hair
(Night dream)

Last fragment of the night in which I had a whisker or nose hair that was so long that it grew to beneath my chin, but it removed itself. It was quite a sight.

Ignoring the Order

1. Improvisation Song

Large hall full of people, sitting on chairs and facing a stage, though this might as well have been the living room of my parents, though the place was much bigger. Yet it felt like a family gathering, only there were too many people. I came in when things were already on, and passed the stage, side of the front door it would be. A young man with black curly hair was singing in a mike. I looked for a place not certain of why I was here. About half way in the room I sit down, people are here that I know, they guide me a little, but they are completely under the influence of the atmosphere, while I am not.
Then my name is called and I am called on stage, I ignore it, the man in front has done singing, I thought he did well, rhymed, four lines a stanza. And people behind me start calling my name, all can hear it, I don't move an inch as if I have not heard it. Then my so-called friends start to tell my I should go up and sing as well, apparently this is an improvisation performance and people expect me to join, while I know of nothing. When I realize this is improvisation I am quite proud of the man in front who under the circumstances did his best, I think he prepared. I am not proud of not going out to the stage, but I completely ignore the order, because I feel uncomfortable. I don't want to do such a performance in public. I am very thick headed.

2. Brle and Meditation

There is a building I enter, a room, people are sitting in a circle, drinking tea, this is the kind of new age gathering for a talk or workshop, I know the place, then I see Brle, and this is his first time. When I pass him, his back to mine, because he is in a chair in the circle, then I pet his head and go with my hand through his hair in a very familiar gesture. Many other things happened before and after.

Parking an Airplane

1. Plane on the Road

End of a dream.
I had been up and down the road between Leuven and Herent already, now from Herent to Leuven, halfway after the Windgat, light, I am alone, whereas before I wasn't. I am driving a plane suddenly, while this is not even mine, but since I'm in it I'm the one responsible, so I move the thing, being in the cockpit. I am in the middle of the street, not in the right lane, and I maneuver a little to the left and should go more to the right, but in the end I am good when I'm in the centre of the street. Then I'm out of the way. And it is difficult to control the airplane, because it is so big, and I'm not entirely comfortable, because it is not mine and the situation is a bit weird. Once I'm more or less okay with the situation I'm expecting a girl, maybe because she announced she would be coming, but the dream does not last long enough for me to see her.

Theologian

1. Hage

Light, inside, much space, different levels, many people, merriment, maybe a public place, me in a corner. Hage is there.

Paper almost Finished

1. Reconciliation

Dream about Woli in the night and mostly alone, out on the streets.

2. Notebook

Inside, light, lots of space, I sit on the floor, many people about, merry atmosphere, maybe my father is there, maybe this is a distorted version of house of parents. I get a notebook pc as a present. It is much smaller than the one I have and am happy with it. I have usb sticks with me, and another laptop or tablet. Part of the dream later is outside, I am always comfortable. I end up later with a third machine and then it becomes difficult for me since I have to decide on which computer I will work. There is one main paper I am working on and it is almost finished, I have it certainly on a stick. Much of the dream was about this paper, it seemed very important, like a life's work. And I was content about it. Some interaction with others that I can't remember.
