Foot Food

1. Late for Meditation

Late for meditation, or just in time, which is not good enough, because people might already have shown up.

2. Breakfast

Badminton.
Breakfast. Sausage. 

3. Organ Meat

At home of parents, family gathering of mother's side. Uncle L is there, aunt M. Cousin D. Mother features prominently, possibly because she is proud of the food she made, traditional family food, in the dream, something that we never ate at home, but the family is eager to start. All is on the dining table. Some people are in the living room.
It is all organs. It looks rather suspicious. My brother N takes first, of us three brothers. I know all the parts that I don't want to eat. He takes something or gets something served by mother, that rhymes with his name. I don't recognize it, but it looks fairly edible. My other brother and me get served another part, which is from the foot. I really don't look forward eating this. This can only come from a human foot by the way.
There was a slight chance for an alternative, and that would have been chips, much better.
Before that a part of the dream played upstairs in a building block. I feel lonely, though people are around me. Can't remember it all.

+4. Brother doing the Dishes

My brother N and his partner are at my place, it is time to do the dishes. My brother takes charge in the kitchen and is in front of the sink, his partner next to him. I look on.
I see him grab the soap and I am already fearing that he will use too much, and he does. I am usually very mean on the use of soap, rarely use any, and now he threatens to use all. With a little accident, when he drops the thing, the soap spills and half of it is out of the container. I'm not happy. N can't care, he sees things differently. But his partner tells him to be careful and not to use that much.

Goodbye Kiss

1. Food and Kisses

The dream ends with Inro kissing me on the mouth. It is a quick kiss when she leaves, because her husband is already at the car, so she lags behind a bit and takes this opportunity to kiss me on the lips. Short and brisk. Blond hair. I plan to leave as well, the party is dying anyway. We are now in a hall between the parking lot, in front on the right, and the dining halls, which are behind us. Still a lot of people are here. It was a big gathering. Lots of old people, too.
Before that a lot happened. Light in the dream, day.
There are different dining halls, with tables. And the halls are on different levels, connected by doors and a few steps.
I think at the beginning of the dream I am here with Elbe, Bale and Ande. They keep together, since I'm the only guy and it has been a while since I've seen some of them. There is a tendency to be drawn to Elbe and to go away from Ande. I get involved in an argument with Ande, she can only see her own point of view. With Elbe it is different, she wants me for her own and even tries to seduce me now and then, can't remember the particulars. I also have a fight with Bale, which has never happened before, we really speak up, loud, this is in a room upstairs, the three of them are here, and possibly other people too. There is a couch on the left, where she sits. We really argue, but at the same time we understand each other and it is indeed during the fight that we realize that we share some love with each other. That is the consequence of our past, and even if the fight is hard and we have never done this before, we smile afterward. We clearly feel love for one another.
I think the idea is that all of us are here on a wellness weekend. I don't know how I got involved. Ande is surely not at ease.
Mivh is also here. I don't know if I make contact or what the circumstances are.
There is a lot of food. And the second half of the dream is certainly spent on eating. If I remember correctly, then we had to wait, while we saw others have food already, so we joined, too. Buffet. Copious.
Can't remember the rest. I'm sure there is a part in which Elbe kisses me and I'm not sure how to respond to that.

2. Driving

In the car. N is driving. His partner is on the right, and I am in the back.

Newspapers and Magazines

1. Flair and Veggie Book

There is a place outside that looks like a rack for newspapers and magazines. The rack is not well situated, because there is not a lot of room around it, though I think it was in the middle of a small square. I see the Flair and a stack of books, Veggie for starters, and dvd's that belong with the book. They are stacked together with the Flair, I think someone left them there, on the bench of the rack, I'll clean up. Somehow the magazine and the book are related, but I don't see the connection.

2. Cycling Downhill

Waiting for N. He is inside, working on machines?

At night, evening, cycling home, this is a part of Herent, near the Brusselsesteenweg, and I descend a street in the neighbourhood of the Maleisestraat, which is steep, so I'm speeding. There's a car behind me, this is odd for the time of day, maybe it is early in the morning and I've been out. But the car driver is cautious and considers my cycling, so I'm not pressed. I think that is unusually polite. 
At the end of the street I go to the left.
Someone has followed me, maybe my sister (which I don't have) and she is already outside in the garden. I come here to fetch something, but I can't, my sister is ahead of me, she already got it.
My brothers do this without the knowing of my parents.
I come up to the place, we stay outside, to the left side of the house, which is where the door is, brick wall, behind is a garden, which is where my brothers are. I linger at the door. I am the last to arrive, so I have no clue of what has happened already. The sister is near me.
The house reminds me of Stco's and of Beha's, but also of the dream house where I was cuffed and magic happened, I recorded this dream this year.

Parents, we are in this place, my brothers and I, I mean, before our parents and we are not supposed to be here at all, so when they shall arrive, there will certainly be a confrontation.
We are inside, in the main hall, which is the living room. Spacious. It is a half public place. You can walk in and out, but when we are there, there should not be other people. There is something I have to do here, and my parents think that I can't do it. (Maybe this was another dream).

In the house, buying comic books, N has finally arrived. My brother D and parents are a long time here already.
Then suddenly another couple walks through the living room. The house is definitely not ours. I'm a bit surprised that they come here, and they look like tourists who must have seen the thing is open and just wandered in. We ignore them, they look at stuff.
N buys Het Laatste Nieuws and wants the promotion with it. This newspaper he got from the side where the couple came from, that is near the entrance, front of the house, which I never saw. The comic book is a promotion, is either Thorgal or Jommeke. The couple takes it from N, aggressively.
All this happens early in the morning.
So I go back with N to the front door and give him everything he wanted, which is the same as above and also De Standaard, which is another newspaper, but also with a promotion. There is some confusion, because the extra stuff he may not want, and before I get it to him I leave it somewhere and push the wrong button, or I'm too much in a hurry, and the book gets copied, the comic book, and I look and the copies are made in colour, so I'm thinking, that is an expensive waste. 
Parents are present in the house, but never in the living room. Maybe in the kitchen, at least in the back of the house.

Other dream, maybe connected, mentioned above, is in a hall, small one, or maybe outside, and I have to give a talk for a bunch of people. Parents think I can't do it.

Big Butterflies

1. Bloody Hands

Space ship, instability of different (can't read notes).
Grdr is getting married and I have to be there. It is past noon. We are in the street of our parents. Food ready. Maybe puppet show?

Earlier. We sleep on the floor, actually on the ground, we are outside. Mats all next to each other. The place slopes a bit. When it gets night we get ready to sleep. These are difficult circumstances but there is nothing we can do about it. We are on our way (don't know whereto).
The group must be lead, it is someone's turn (can't read notes, starts with an H, maybe Hafr). This person says we have to stop. That is when we lie ourselves down on the ground. Grass. We are close together, there is no more room than that. I lie near Brfr. A&D are here as well. Something something.

Different scene. Butterflies, surprisingly big ones. Individual ones, one at first, then a few more. Some recognizable, at least one page, and one fox. There is enough light to see them. This fragment is fairly lucid. There is a brick wall that marks the border, this is the highest part of the meadow or park. On the left is nothing. We come from below. Crawl through the grass. I'm amazed by the butterflies, it has something otherworldly.
Brfr rests her head on my lap and we stay like that for a while.
Time to move over and make room. Lica is here, somewhere on my right. She shows her hands. They are full of blood. I immediately understand that she got these wounds from crawling over the grass, there are thorns on the ground, you can't see them but they are there, I know for a fact, because I have felt it too. And then I look at my hands, and I see they are also wounded, but not as bad. Someone else checks his or her hands, the same. But Lica's are the worst, no one can match that, and shouldn't. Hook.
All of this is inexplicable. As if someone wishes us evil and it causes the lacerations. Maybe at that time, there is certainly more light, the lawn is more like a playground, concrete. Lica is in a corner of this, down on the right. Reminds me of Stco's parents' place.

Before that we were in a shop, this was a higher terrain, light, tiled in front, window. We took over from the managers? Reminded me of a Japanese house like in anime. Village, but desolated. 
We are here at lunch time. Not our shop, never been here before. We want to eat something. Maybe closed.

Comic books, maybe Amoras. Liha is there, she can't find it, though she knew earlier where they were.

2. Secret Names

Fragment. Alth in my dream and other people, everyone has a secret name and I call them just to make sure I remember. This may be on my parents' lawn at the cherry blossom tree. I know Alth's name for sure, because it is the nickname they call him by. Then I continue, but I have to think hard. This is where the dream ends and I wake up. I don't know the relation with the other fragments.
Elbe somewhere in a dream.

3. New Notes of Twenty

Shop, I'm at the till. Tama is at the other side. She wants to pay something and she has a lot of money with her, but she brought it especially for the shop. It is all new money. New fivers, but also new notes of twenty. I had not expected that, but they look good. Briefcase.

Gent by the Sea

1. Going to the Sea

Off to Gent, with my brother N. Doing something to get to the coastline the fastest.
We have to check in into a hotel, this is in a park. I take something with me, trousers and pullover. N is already gone, I go after him, I don't see him anymore. But I know the way because I looked at a map before. Maybe there is music?
Then I see N. We go on our way together. Enter a building. I'm not sure about this, but follow anyway.
There is an office and a girl that checks entry. She is Debu, she asks our tickets. Debu, something I can't read from notes.
In the meanwhile it starts to rain, first lightly, then harder. We go anyway, that is, through the rain.
We are waiting for the end. Now a fat young man with one long white hair on his breast, he has more, all white, but one peaks out, and is as long as his arm, thrust forward, almost in my way. I ignore it. He is on my right. We face a wall, or a counter. Maybe this is on a boat, maybe in the hotel. Waiting for instructions? Something for food?
There is another person who steals a bra. Go after them, or hold them?
There is a place where they are preparing food, chain work. Lots of people working, all on different tables, whole room full, all doing the same thing, which is chopping leek, only the green parts. I can see the leek is dirty, there is still a lot of sand between the leaves, they will have to rinse that. The other man does not like leek, we'll wash the leek anyway.
We go out at last. Descend a stairwell. Familiar faces, outside, N, a boy, and a girl, and me. She sees me, something something.
Now this girl is Inla. After a while, I start petting her head and going through her hair with my hand. Her hair is thick and healthy, brown. I get more bold along the way. In the meanwhile we are going over the instructions written on a piece of paper. There is stuff on it like having to buy shoes etcetera.
Then something about space ships, talk? And about the learning of languages. Something to attack and something to defend, protect.
Something is vey good.
Original language has to be translated. In French? Two papyri? This is easy for me because language something something.
There was a lot more about this dream but I forgot it all.

2. Eating a Banana

Tivd is here. I see my bowl of fruit and the two bananas that are ripe. I take one.

3. Sperm Mayonnaise

In a kitchen in a house I don't know. Light. Dabe is here. On my left is a veranda. He has my sperm, in a cup, and makes some secret potion. So he needs to mix it. I suppose it will be mixed with olive oil, but he will mix it with mayonnaise. Will I have to eat this?

4. Wet Dream

My apartment. Bale is on the sofa and I am at my table, but I see her there and I see an opportunity, so I go toward her and want to penetrate her. Even before I enter I come. This is a wet dream. I made the decision rather consciously.

5. Inorganic Beings and Dinosaurs

Looking something up on the Internet, about the inorganic beings, but I can't find them, the search engine always switches to 'sentient' beings, so that it seems as if you cannot look up inorganic beings, as if they hide or don't exist, or people are not allowed to know. Website. At some point I can intercept the change, and I come on to a website, this is about dinosaurs.

+6. Ride to Taiji

I ask Lica whether she can drive me to the summer camp. I know it is a bad moment, because I should have asked earlier, but I see her now and decide.

Tattooed Butt

1. Save the Son

Something about the son of Rili, he is caged, with his grandfather, I want to go over the railing and save him. Can't remember the details at all.

2. Sausages in a Pan

We are inside. It is late and it is raining. My brother N is cooking sausages, there are many small pans all over in the kitchen, in the middle. He tends to them all. All contain at least one big sausage, and some other things. Every pan is full, and is a portion for one person. But it is all meat. I am the last one, we take turns taking our food.
We're watching television. True Blood. And something about having tattoos made. It is late already and we sit on a high bed. There are six persons. Anle, me, Krvh, Bale & R, Elbe, and maybe Rume.
Three of them already have a tattoo, they just got it. We three are still waiting for having one. Re is supporting Bale, so he does not count among the six. I don't really want a tattoo. Krvh sits next to me, dark, table, on my right, she constantly wants contact, she wants me, but I ignore that. I certainly don't want to have Bale see that I am close to someone else. 
Then something happens that I can't remember, possibly, in the dream I was not paying attention too. And the result is that the tattooing can't continue. I would have been the next one up, and the tattoos would have been on my behind, both sides, but at this point it is no longer possible to have them, mission aborted. So, I'm saved by the bell.
There is something about film music, a compilation, my brother N is listening to it in particular. One of the tracks is called Chaos. It is the last but one. N listens to them in a different order then they are presented. There are six tracks, he swops the last two, according to him, that way it makes more sense. On the side, N is also working on something mechanical.

3. Joja

Something about Joja.

4. D & P

My brother D and his friend Pese are present. Maybe this fragment is connected to the other dream. It is late, but they two decide that they still want to go out. I skip, I don't want to stay up late. I don't get involved with them at all. I know they wanted to go out late from the start.

Katana

1. Swinging Swords

Spacious room. There is a corner with food. Continually busy. Running to and fro, other people around, not so many, all of them busy, people I know in the dream. Playing with food. Maybe Dore.
Later at one of the walls (reminds me of a swimming pool, where the showers are before you leave) a few people huddled together. My brother N is there. Some other people. Tables. Light. I'm holding a sword. A real sword, that does not happen often in a dream, I realize. First a two edged blade, either Western style or Chinese. This is heavy, I did not expect it to be so heavy. Someone else swings it and says the same, I tell him that that is what people usually say.
I have to practice. Now my brother is across of me and I am holding a katana, and we play about a little with the swords, he has two shorter swords, all Japanese style. It immediately strucks me that these are easier to wield, they are more balanced, and because of the one edge, you can manouver in more ways. I play around with some moves. I like the katana much better. I inform someone about this, maybe Erel.
My brother keeps coming, pushes, but I have no intention of fighting. Because he comes on I have to defend constantly, and I can easily block his two weapons with my own. I can lock them on his body in fact, with one move. Then in another move I cause one of his swords to fall on the floor, maybe a wakizashi. That's when he stops bothering me.

2. German Family

Some place. The whole family of P&R are here, there daughter, and my aunt. Maybe reference to Terry Pratchett.
Fragments. Something with a horse, or a snake? Dog? Cat? Inro?

3. Escape

An earlier dream or earlier part of the first dream.
Other place, something about a small dog. Two something (can't read notes).
I want to leave this place soon because I don't want to be seen.
This leaving is organized, others are involved. We will have to leave via a trap door or pit, something like that. There are stairs. (Reminds me of Enochian rite).

4. Discussion on the Meaning of Opera

There is a discussion on opera. We sit at a table. Someone remarks that you can never understand these operas. You don't hear what they sing, and you don't know the language. I observe. Fras answers this person, she reacts, because she has Wagner's Ring in mind. That would be the typical example. I suppose she means that you can understand the meaning by sensing the atmosphere, and information comes through in a different way, but what she really says is that you have to listen longer and then you will understand the text , just by listening long enough. Maybe Phpa is here too. I don't know who the first person was, another person was there too. I don't know them from real life.
