4th of september

Something with a house in a dark neighborhood, it is twilight, almost night. Some people I know live in the house. I am on the other side of the road, opposite of the house on a hill, looking down on it.

The next moment I am in the house, but in retrospect I am not really sure if it's the same house. But I'm in there in a big room with a huge window reaching to the wooden floor, this is on the front side of the house. I am there with someone from school, there is a big hole in the floor next to the window, as if something very heavy fell through the wooden floor.

Fragment: Something about a classmate and me being naked.


5th of september

A dream about sailing over some series of different seas and/or lakes. I am in a small boat with some other people. One of the girls is taking a smaller boat to sail ahead of us, later we try to find her back.

I reach an old bar where I meet some of the old people who come there a lot. They talk about groups of islands that maybe I would like to go to, or where the girl went to and/or where they have been to. The first group is a non-existant group of islands north of Greenland, the second are the islands of Franz Josef Land, but maybe I was confusing this in the dream with the first group of islands, the third group is Svalbard. I admit that I'd find it quite scary to travel to these islands because of the deep sea waters around it and because it is a very harsh climate. But I also tell them that I've been to Norway three times. (In an attempt to even it out)

A classmate in the boat asks me to take a picture of him for some school work, at this moment we're in a bay with some small islands around us. I reply that I had already taken his picture earlier, as a reaction he asks someone else to take the picture instead.

We continue in the boat and I'm only together now with the same classmate and a girl. The girl comes up with the idea to go naked in the boat and surprise people. At first I don't like the idea, but my classmate doesn't see this as a problem at all. When I notice this I start to relax more and change my mind about it, and I think that it might indeed be fun.

At the end we find the lost girl in her boat in some kind of bay between mountainious islands, as if it was a lake of some old sunken crater. She's just there waiting for something.

(This dream really reminds me of Zelda: The Wind Waker, now that I'm rewriting it here.)

6th of september

One dream in some big room, it looked like a cinema or something. I was there with some classmates and there was something with the ceiling. The ceiling consisted of a lot of white removable squares.

Next dream was about me and my brother. I had bought a new bass guitar, it was a really nice looking one. The body had the texture and color of whitewood. And it looked pretty good overall.
I went inside a room that looked like the bedroom of my old nephew from 15 years ago, but I got there through the backdoor of my parents' place. There was a CD playing with trance music. I was wondering what the artist and song was but couldn't find the right CD box, so I took the CD out of the player to see the name.
After that my brother and me both got a bass guitar and started jamming. I took my new one from under a cupboard where I was hiding it (I was actually trying to keep it there for my birthday). We were playing but I was having a bit of trouble to keep up with my brother, since he is better at it and playing for a longer time already.

I also had a dream about a game but it was mixed with moments of me standing next to a river which was supposed to be the mississippi river, only it was quite small. I said to myself that I never thought the river was so small. Next moments I was back in this game which looked like civilization and sim city, in this game I looked at the same river but more from the top.

8th of september

I am helping two friends which I am helping IRL this weekend. We're making a bit mechanical elephant. On the mechanical legs there are first two big boots put on before the actual 'skin' of the elephant is put over it.


9th of september

I am driving with two girls from my class through a neighbourhood that I do not know.
Then we're at a clothing shop where both girls are trying all kinds of dresses on

I am at school but it looks completely different. It has some similarities with my old school from ten years ago, but it has indoor balconies as well, with halls and corridors below them.
I am looking for a key that I lost, but I was supposed to keep it and take care of it. Some classmates are angry with me because of this, but I know that it wasn't my fault. I go through different workspaces of different people, looking for the key. I did find other keys, they all had a red keyring with a label, just like the one I was looking for.

I think this has been one of the best nights of this year.

10th of september

4:50

I was keeping sheep in my parents' backyard. They were actually quite small sheep, lambs. Sometimes one was going outside the garden and I had to get it back.
I gave them milk from a bottle. One time I gave a sheep the milk bottle through a mailbox.
The environment started to become more like Minecraft, and I was digging down. Eventually I reached 'the void'. (the lowest point in Minecraft, which is just empty dark space that kills you when you fall in it.) But I saw other players being able to build platforms below the lowest point. I decided to build a way to get to their places, to have a look around their places.

The next moment I am outside in a rural part of the netherlands with a highway nearby. I get the idea that I might be dreaming and immediately I decide to fly away. I fly really fast, it amazes me! I am flying over the landscape and see the highway and the crossing below me. It's mainly green below and blue above me. I arrive in a backyard that looks like the one from my parents. the biggest difference is that all the vegetation has grown way bigger and also unrealistically way up in the air, it almost seems that some parts are floating. I keep flying around, around the plants and I make flips. Wow, it feels so much like swimming! I see some people walking around and fly around them, but they do not seem to notice me. Then I see a woman and I tell her that I am dreaming. She seems interested and smiles at me. She tries to ask me questions about the experience, but I can't remember them. I think of a good friend.
I realize that I have quite a low level of lucidity. It feels much more as if I dream about having a lucid dream than actually experiencing one directly. I'm not really experiencing it, but dreaming it. It's hard for me to remember what to do to enhance my lucidity. I look at my hands; my left hand only has two fingers, while the right one seems to have six.
I fly and float around some more, and I enjoy myself.
It fades.


I am walking on the street with my parents, my brother and sister. We stop at a house with its door next to the sidewalk with a big window next to it. The door is almost entirely made of glass. I see a hand on the inside lying still, it makes me think that there probably has been some good partying the previous night. I tap the window and suddenly the person of which the hand belongs to shoots up, startled, and looks at me. It's a good friend. His moustache looks different. He opens the door and I apologise for startling him. He tells me that he's repairing his computer there. He gets help from someone else. I see him and I think it's another friend, of both of us, his housemate. But when he gets up I see it's actually a she and recognise her as the girlfriend of this housemate that I also know. I greet her.

8:00

Me and some classmates are going to see Animal Collective, not IRL but a live video on tv at my parents' place. M is there as well. She sits down next to me and I tell her that I didn't know she liked Animal Collective. She smiles at me.
Some time later I tell her something else what I can't recall (the live video of AC hasn't started yet). As a reaction to that she gets up and gives me a kiss. It makes me very happy! She likes me. When Animal Collective starts I stand up and start to dance around the room, it is really so awesome.
After some time M gets up again and goes to the kitchen, I follow her. Once there she's eating a banana and getting something to drink. I approach her kiss her again on her mouth, she kisses me back and I embrace her. I don't think it will get any better than this, I am so happy! I feel euphoric!

The next moment I am looking at the live video again, but it changes to some kind of summary of footage of the history of AC. Suddenly there is a short video of crowd at earlier concerts which I also went to (Not IRL). I even get to see myself on the video standing on the place where they had just performed, but there are not many people. I get excited because the bandmembers of Animal Collective are nearby and I get to talk to them.

Some part in-between the first part (or maybe even before, not sure) of 8.00 I am travelling to the place where Animal Collective will perform live that evening. I am together with M and R, also a classmate and good friend of M. We get there by public transport. The place where they will perform has quite a big square in front of it, it doesn't look like performance/music place at all from the outside. There are about 50 people already waiting and we join them.

the last moment I can recall is R having a conversation with M in my absence about me and our kiss.

A dream about travelling through mountains. The mountains are entirely covered with dense forests. We walk up to a mountain lake between some mountains. We're not sure where to go, but eventually we decide on a direction.

15th

I was in a band with some friends and we were covering songs from a Japanese hardcore punkband Melt-Banana. I was doing the vocals. And I was doing it quite well, because people around me were impressed. I was going quite insane while we were playing, I was running around, rolling over the floor and on some points climbing a small portable ladder, reaching the top on the climax of a song. It was really cool.

16th

I was invited to have a look for a new room in a big appartement in the city of my school, so I could live closer to school. It previously has been a big office, but now it was rented out to students. I was comparing the size of the rooms I was shown to the one I have now, deciding on which room would still be big enough for my likings. There were several rooms free, which is kind of surprising in this city.

17th

I am trying to explain the difference in mood between Michel Houellebecq's Atomised and The Possibility of an Island. I try to say that the first one still has some humour in it while the second one is way more cynical.

I'm walking in a clearing of a forest. I am together with my sister. All of a sudden we see a black bear with cubs. I immediately realize that we're in danger because of the agressive protection of the mother of the cubs. We both turn around and run, but the bear comes after us. We decide to climb dead trees still standing upright, we both take a different one and climb up. After some time the bear is gone and we can go down again, which is a struggle but we manage to do it eventually.

18th

I am together with some friends somewhere, there also is a girl that I do not know. She has brown hair and brown eyes. She seems a bit younger than me. After some time some other people, my brother too, say that she likes me, in her presence. Then they say I need to respond immediately, I shouldn't go away and think, just say it. I can't resist to think a little but then I tell her that we just can go outside to talk about. But I do like her so I like it that she likes me. She smiles at me when hearing my response.
