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.

I dreamt someone had replaced my Backstreet Boys poster with a Justin Bieber one and I broke down completely. And then condoms cost 2000 DKK for 3 packs and I got really mad when I was at the pharmacy and had to pay and said "It's those damn catholics' fault" and then I left...

Ah but yes. thanks for being in a setup of the Lord of the Rings as a theater piece with the ringbearers reinterpreted so Sam was now called Will, 'cuz that's what Lyras companion in the Golden Compass is, and then it's set in an über-nazistic Russia...

I dreamt there was a better TV-series than Game of Thrones, but it was also meta because there was a tome of lore which contained all about the Lord of the Rings and a lot of other fantasy fairytales and boiled it all down to one universe. Pretty spicy. Oh yeah, and I drank coke with Martin while readin in...

"Aarhus Cathedral flooded and collapsed while One Direction was having a concert in there and David Bowie was throwing bombs at them. Many killed." My dreams could be cool news headlines.

Dream

I dreamt Hitler was a drag queen and you found a part of his bunker where all the dresses hung, which were almost similar to Hermione's galla dress from Harry Potter 4. And then the Joker from Batman, was Hitler's previous advisor and had hidden as a clown in a circus for many years.

I dreamt Scarlett Johanson had to save me in a virtual world where the evil people harvested onions from my elbows.

Dream

02-04-2013

Two nightmares in one: I dreamt I wasn't approved for the media graphic design education, and because I wasn't approved I went zombie-apocalypse-haywire in some kind of laboratory and made a virous which later backlashed (obviously)... but the zombies were intelligent and went shopping for clothes and cleaning supplies and built houses, and when...

Dreamt I lived at a camping site where the championships in murder was held, and Bilbo Baggins won silver, because it lessened his points not having killed Gollum back in his cave in the Misty Mountains.

Dream

27-02-2013

Weird dreams about being sucked into space and still land, survive and after that adopt a blond child called Natasja. Previously there was blood for vampires in the super market coolers and a university-party I ran off too because my brother wore a hat (sorry Martin, know you didn't mean anything with the hat).
