48 | Mar 30 | Park
I was in a bus in Brno. I meant to get off at semilasso and I did, but I kind off daydreamed through it so I got off in the last second. There was a park very close to the bus stop. There was a table in the middle of the park with a bunch of small leaflets and posters. I took one. I don’t remember what it was about.
47 | Mar 30 | Zoo at grandpa’s house
My grandpa’s garden turned to a little zoo. There were cages with monkeys and cats. I was inside, on the couch, when a big long-hair cat came to me and kinda trampled me but it was enjoyable.
46 | Mar 30 | Tarot in the forest
I was in a forest, it was night. I was waiting for the arrival of Lailoken, the tumblr user. There was a potential that she could teach me or something. I was fascinated by her way. In the dream it was called something like the wending way, the wayward way, welding, wayding... Now, as I’m up, I remembered the word wyrding way but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t that in the dream.
While waiting for her, I took ten tarot cards (not my deck). Nine of these cards were wands, the last of them being the king of wands. The pictures were full of oak leaves. I knew it meant that I am trying to control the situation too much and that it’s not a good sign for me starting the way. She arrived. We talked. I told her about the cards, she took a look and agreed that it’s not a good time for this.
There was more, something about animals. I was getting excited about my own deck for that reason. I don’t remember the context though.
45 | Mar 28 | Gabika, Kosťa, Vojta
I went to the summer camp. I barely knew any of the kids. It was raining. For some reason, Kosťa and Vojta were both there, as well as some other people whom I wouldn’t expect there. At one point, I was lying in bed?? with Kosťa but it was a non-sexual context. I think we were just reading side by side, touching each other’s arms. I think Vojta saw us and I felt bad because it could have been described as cuddling, which is something I told him we don’t do. I didn’t have the opportunity to explain though.
At one point, I got up, went out and met Gabika. She was asking me some questions and it some became clear she was eavesdropping on a conversation I had with someone else. I had the feeling that she was amusedly judgemental and inappropriately curious so I told her she shouldn’t eavesdrop like that. I think I saw Anička with shoulder-length blond hair. I was surprised she changed the hair colour. It was raining.
44 | Mar 28 | Grandpa getting vaccinated
I went to a hospital to pick up my grandpa. He was getting his second vaccine shot against covid. I think there was a designated area where I was supposed to wait until he comes but I went beyond that. I entered some corridors, then there were steps up. The steps led directly to a room where my grandpa was getting the injection. There were two women in appropriate clothing. I’m inclined to say that both women were nurses. There was a platform from which I could comfortably see the whole room without entering it. The platform was separated from the room with a few more steps. I stood there for a while without being noticed. I just watched the older lady vaccinate my grandpa. Then the other one noticed me and asked what I was doing there. I just gestured something. Grandpa noticed me and greeted me so that answered the lady’s questions. Grandpa thanked them, put on a jacket and asked where the bathroom is. I told him I could lead him to the bathroom but then I didn’t quite know where it is.
43 | Mar 28 | Crystal garden
I owned a lot of large but flat minerals with crystalline structure so I made a garden out of them. There were paths for walking and what would otherwise be a spot of grass or flowers was made of rocks. There were fluorites, blue vitriol, probably other stones as well but I don’t have names for them. The colours were dark yellow, soft green, soft blue, deep blue. All of the crystals were rather small, no huge things.
The thing is, this garden was made for a school so a lot of kids visited it every days, running around, doing horseplay. I went to check the garden one day and realized that they have been stepping on the stones and thus damaged the crystals until they crumbled and only the rock base remained. Not everywhere but there were a few bald spots. It wasn’t a piece of pleasant news but I wondered how come it’s happening when I know the kids walk barefoot? This must hurt a lot.
42 | Mar 27 | A snail and a fly
There was a tiny snail in my house. I wondered whether to leave as is, put it outside or something else. I decided to put it into a pot with a soil and a plant.
There was a big black fly in the pot. I put the snail on the other side. I looked away, looked back and the fly was next to the snail, trying to eat it. I separated them from each other. Switch. I looked back and the snail’s shell was empty, the snail’s body was in the mouth of the fly. I tried to separate them, switch, the snail’s body was no longer visible, it was completely in the fly. I pricked at the fly, its belly opened. The snail was there, not yet harmed by the process. I wanted to get it out. For some reason I wasn’t able to use my left hand. I wanted to find a tool, something like a toothpick that could help me get it out. Switch. The fly was in my mouth, I held it with my lips or teeth and kept trying to get the snail out but I was worried that either the fly or the snail would get more into my mouth. I didn’t want to feel the touch of the snail on my tongue, the thought that it could happen was disgusting for me.
41 | Mar 27 | Playing a song
I believe it was Mata who kept singing a song and asking me whether I know and can play it. I wasn’t sure but I gave it an attempt with chords I had found. Then he played the actual song for me from a device and I was surprised to find out I really don’t know it and that it sounds differently than I anticipated based on his singing.
40 | Mar 27 | A young guy
Then I had a chaotic dream that I don’t remember well, but I remember a part when I was lying down next to a guy younger than me, I think I knew him from the summer camp. We were just having a friendly chat, while there were some things happening around us, something like a party or communal living.
39 | Mar 27 | Honza Sebera is dead
I saw a post on facebook made by Klára Škrobánková. It was a lot of pictures and an announcement that Honza has died. I was distraught. I forwarded the news to someone else, a girl, maybe Anita. I thought about all the dreams I had about death, funerals, the underworld... I thought whether they were all a sort of premonition to this. Actually losing another person in my life.
38 | Mar 26 | Hotel action movie
My dream was quite violent today. I was in a hotel and the situation was pretty much like in an action movie – a lot of moving from one floor to another, hiding, attacking. I went down to the ground floor and witnessed something brutal, maybe someone was shot or physically attacked and tied down, I don’t know. Something in that vein.
Then there was a festival of some sort and Mata fell in love, I think.
Then I was moving out of my dorms and I had a LOT of stuff. There was some time pressure, everyone was waiting for me and I was still trying to pack more stuff. There was the option to come back for the rest in a few days but I didn’t want to risk that something important would stay behind because someone might steal it. I had a hot pink school bag with a smaller bag in the front. I left it on a shelf but I went through the stuff in the smaller bag. There were some stationary things and paint brushes. I thought “Ah, I wondered where they were”. I was packing my clothes into a clear school bag. I remember putting my old green trousers to that bag. I thought that they would be useful.
We were going away for a few days because we were hunting down a woman, a spy, I think. Or a different kind of agent. I think I managed to sneak into her apartment. She saw me and we chased each other for a while, she tried to escape but didn’t manage. In the end we agreed on some sort of compromise. She was very bummed though.
37 | Mar 25 | Coffee, a man too young, pheasant feathers
Such a chaos. There were people. There was a coffee machine that served the coffee like a garden sprinkler – changing the flow and the direction so it was quite impossible to put the coffee to a cup. It was possible to change the setting to something more normal but I didn’t really know how. So I just opened my mouth when the flow was directed at me. I caught some and some coffee went into my hair.
Then there was this bit about me and a young man. We always wanted to find a nice hidden corner where we wanted to explore each other and our sexuality. We certainly kissed, no sex happened. At one point we were in my apartment (looked vastly different from the real one) and we found a hidden corner. I realized that even though I cleaned up some time ago, this one corner remained messy. There was water in one container because I left it there to soften the food bits before washing. I didn’t quite know what it is until I turned it upside down and the water started flowing out. There were also other dishes.
We put a yoga mat down and lied down. When I think about him, he seemed far too young for me and inexperienced. There was also this girl who interrupted us – she played a bigger part but I don’t remember it now. When we weren’t in my apartment, we were in an abandoned fast food restaurant that was in a corner building. The tables were only near the windows, the centre of the big room was reserved for a big counter and the space for servers and cooks. We were walking there, looking for a nice spot. At one point, we found a door to the basement. I went there very briefly and found some things that used to be decorations at this place but they didn’t take them when moving out. There were many large feathers. They weren’t real, just plastic or something but I picked up two long pheasant feathers and remarked that it is a valuable find anyway. Under closer inspection they didn’t look so food but I took them.
Then there was a bit about someone complaining about the noise made by a bunch of children that rented a mansion on the water. The sound travelled above the water so even though the next mansion was in the distance, they could hear a lot. I think this might be just a transfer from my current lived experience, my neighbours were making noise that woke me up at 6:40.
And there was a bit about Gabika. For some reason we were working on something and she was leading me to a room in the house that I haven’t seen yet where I could have my temporary office in peace.
36 | Mar 23 | Peterson and magpies
I had a class with Jordan Peterson. It was just a small seminar, I think there was seven of us. He knew us personally. He split us into two groups and gave us a test. I was in the second group so while the first one was writing, I had nothing to do.
Before he gave the test to me too, he pointed out something about my feelings. I was confused because I wasn’t aware of showing that to others. I asked about it. He replied with a question, something like “You don’t like when someone questions your perception of yourself?”
I replied “More like I’m confused when someone questions my perception of reality.” I could feel tears in my eyes and crying in my voice but I suppressed it.
He thought about it a bit and nodded that he agrees with what I said. He explained and said something very profound but I don’t remember it. It was something about the way I relate to the world. Then he pointed out he sees that I’m not doing all too well emotionally.
I pulled my shit together and said that yes, I am mostly alright but the past two weeks were very hard. I sat to take the test. I knew I didn’t study for it. I thought I could cheat but then I didn’t. I was proud to be taking a class with Jordan Peterson personally, it was a dream come true.
However, I had to leave the class early, I was going to a funeral. I was travelling with a train for a bit and got off in a Czech village or a small town. It was warm weather, spring, I think. The nature was quite alive, I remember the grassy spots near the train station just buzzing. Then the dream switched and I was suddenly entering a large square. All the buildings were quite tall and white, lavishly decorated in a baroque style with statues holding the balconies up, just beautiful naked bodies of white statues. I was amazed that such a small town/village has such a huge and expensive square but then I thought – yeah, this is Morava, a rich land. It was sunny. There were also some trees on the square. I could hear the birds singing. There were some songbirds, I think blackbirds, but I could also hear a jay and a magpie. I wanted to see the jay most of all, but I could only see two magpies, one very quickly disappeared in a tree top, the other one flew to the ground in front of my (but quite in the distance). I think there was a puddle and it drank.
35 | Mar 22 | Looking for mom
I was in Ružindol, following my mom who found out there is a path made from wooden bars behind the house of Šefčíkoví. She went down that path, thinking that she will find something there but I knew that she won’t. When I got behind the house, there was a larger wooden construction, something like a useful piece of art which can also serve as a playground thing for children. It was maybe a meter tall and it was possible to hide beneath it from different sides. I looked there to see if my mom is there. She wasn’t.
34 | Mar 22 | Tumblr
I dreamed about the Polish tumblr user Zmija. She was in a relationship with a man. She was dressed entirely in blue and her man entirely in purple. They looked good, cute and quirky like that. It was some kind of a big magical occasion, a holiday or something. I think they were doing some preparations, I also think I went there because of a telepathic call I got or something. When I came there, the guy was sitting behind an open window and I started talking to him. He had some trickery in mind. I think I was learning a lot.
33 | Mar 21 | Bad organization skills
I was with Monika Gajdošíková somewhere and she invited me and my friends to her place. It was a small flat. She told me to call her in the evening, we’ll agree on the specifics.
Switch.
I was with my friends at her door. We knocked. She opened and sighed. They were all just getting ready to leave and visit my parents. She said she told me to call yesterday. And I didn’t, so we didn’t actually agree on anything. But she let us in and it seemed that she will let us stay there until they come back from the visit. I felt bad for my lack of organizing skills.
32 | Mar 21 | Three girls in yellow
There were three of us, three girls. We were all dressed in yellow dresses of different shades. My dress wasn’t yellow at first but the longer we walked together, the more yellow it was. We were walking to the highest mountain of some place – the mountain was very small. I was sulking for some reason, sometimes I tore apart from the group and walked alone.
I also remember being almost blinded by bright warm sunset.
