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, as an Englishman, joined invading Normandy and take over two big castles which I covered with two granite pyramids. The year was 1061-1093, so I'm not sure what it was supposed to look like, but it was cool. And I was good at sailing.

Dreamt I stood haning out with Barack Obama when he suddenly got a heart attack. Who's to blame? Me, who obviously starts talking about how nice it is he helped better the rights for LGBT-people. My punishment? Rebuilt an ugly summer cottage and eat clams.

Dreamt Frodo and Sam had signed up for Mount Doom sightseeing, and when they arrived at the caldera, Sam grabbed Frodo by the collar and the trouser lining and threw him out over the edge when he didn't want to give up the ring. Unfortunately the ring fell out of Frodo's hand, bounced against the opposite wall and back to...

Second time I dream, or rather have nightmares, about how Star Wars 7 will be. This time Leia and Solo's kids were really nerdy versions of themselves incl. Luke's apprentice who was really clumsy. And then they'd built the Death Star to travel in hyperspeed and arrived at the Earth which was completely unpopulated.

Nice morning despite having both drowned at Titanic's sinking, been eaten by Voldemort zombies and been wanted by CIA for terror I haven't committed but am innocently found guilty of, during the night.

Nuclear bombs spread a lot across different big cities, no one is missed; and to flee through the streets with a mad barber behind you while he waves a blade and accuses you of the destruction (which is partly true because you're the advisor of the president). At least Rasmus and Chrystal were foresighted and built their house underground in...

You know you've watched too much TBBT the last couple of days when Sheldon Cooper appears in your dream wearing a trench coat and fedora and starts arguing how unrealistic it is to dream about him wearing a trench coat and fedora.

Dream

White Walkers aren't good at using nuclear bombs, and Sam isn't the best king of the Iron Throne. Unfortunately I, as Jamie Lannister, is the only one who can see the madness in all of it and wonder why Osha suddenly looks like that girl from Brave more than herself.
P.s.: do you have butter wreaths (Danish pastry) in Westeros??...

Dreamt I had a white tiger kitten who loved Zorro and lived in a world where two of my friends - Kim and Martin - kept changing to the other's personality. Besides that then Alexander Skarsgård had to teach me web design, but he didn't know how to, so I never learned it. Instead we ate cream puffs and sang about a boy named Niklas, who was a biker....

I dreamt Ophelia's father had to buy me milk because we were celebrating Fastelavn (kid's halloween in February in Denmark) at her place, and the barrel we were hitting turned out to be a Storm-tropper costume which she had sown (even though it's plastic), because she had a secret passion for Star Wars xD And then we painted a dookie...
