DREAM VALLEY

Prologue

(only available in English)

Some people rarely dream, some dream all the time, some never dream - or so they claim, because in fact everyone dreams, it's just a question about remembering. As humans we have the privilege of remembering and analyzing our dreams and their meanings, whether we want to interpret it in a self-reflective context or a spiritual one. It separates us from the animals.

But sometimes, just sometimes, dreaming and remembering goes too far. It can severely impact your life to dream every single night and remember it like events from yesterday. It creates a sort of split world reality, exactly how it would feel jumping in and out of the Matrix. And not everything you experience is random or casual every-day events. Nightmares that cause you to yell in fear while you sleep, wake you up with a heartbeat as if you'd been out running and keeping you awake until you pass out from exhaustion. Sometimes you don't want to fall asleep either because you know it's going to fuck you up, but you still pass out from exhaustion at some point.

Anyway, this is my chronological collection, as chronological as it gets, thanks to Facebook, where I've recorded most of these dreams. As per September 2018, I stop recording on Facebook and instead use my website and collect them in this valley of dreams. You might think it's awfully personal to read someone else's dreams, but I've found that mine are very entertaining and enlightening. A lot of popular culture is referenced in my dreams and of course friends and locations that I've been to in my life, mainly in and around my city Aarhus and Denmark.

I will provide the Danish version as well as the English, and while translating I've tried to stick as much as I could to the original dream content. Some dreams are more detailed than others, while others are short buzzwords or sentences.

Also, it's worth mentioning, that some periods of time seem to be dream-less. This is not the case. I most likely just didn't record it anywhere and can't find them anymore.

The most recent will show at the top while the older ones are the last due to the dates they were recorded, of course.

Enjoy.

Dreamt I was the prime minister and killed a lady that I had stalked around Copenhagen because she had shown me the wrong route to the hospital.

Tonight I was a velociraptor who lived beneath a tarp along with a dog. I also rode the train through the alps in Switzerland and ended at a stony beach where an old plane belong to Captain Haddock, stood, a journey I repeated whereafter I regained consciousness with a shaker egg, which sounded like a tambourine, and everyone around me...

Incredibly bummer of a night with countless nightmares. Firstly an obstacle course without help beneath a lot of fire-breathing dragons in some kind of parallel world, afterwards tossed around in the apartment while native-americans chant outside my windows, wake up because the police had been called because I had screamed in my sleep JUST TO WAKE...

Dreamt that Jeremy Clarkson from TopGear was a demon who used telephone bombs to kill people with and he was chasing Marha while she was at Närcon, so I had to go to Sweden and save her with woven walls and heavy blankets that were able to be rolled down a slope where we had ended up trying to distract...

Dreamt I had to fly to Japan but I'd rather take a train ride in Sweden where I fell asleep up against Max von Südow with tears in my eyes from seeing mountains. We stopped at the top where there was a swimming pool and Pia Kjærsgaard (Danish right-wing politician) made a lof of young boys compete in swimming against some bears....

Dream

Dreamt I was able to open the gates of Hell at Moesgaard Museum by fighting living monsters from Binding of Isaac in the different exhibition rooms, and the boss was at the ice cooler in the souvenir shop. Because THAT makes sense!
