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 that Trump had to teach social science but he kept talking about eating bird and rodent foods. I was also supposed to help cooking and got a lemon slice handed to me by my mother, which I probably took to the mouth to taste it, just to wake myself by trying to put my fingers in my mouth while I was asleep....

It's a long night, it's a constant night. The journey through Europe is cold and hard. It goes north. Sometimes we are many, other times we are few. We meet good-hearted people who give us space in hostels while the rain is pouring down and slowly flooding the world. There is no morning light, only darkness. We pass through the...

I dreamt that I had to translate the Lord of the Rings into Old English, and I did it by reading Thomas Harris' Hannibal books, and then practice to translate those first. I ended up finding a very special book called "The Bulledv Fadvere", which could explain everything about language so I learned Old English crazy fast. At the same...
