Hold on, don't let go...
Entry of a dream I had last night
The action was happening in the present. I was walking on the street and somehow run into who I'd now call Jacqueline. He knew about himself and I as well I think, of this I am not sure. We kept walking unt we've reached his place and as he entered his home which was on a corner of a street on a lower level than the street, grey, hidden behind the blocks, something resembling the one I pass by in C-O area, but older and, again, grey. The colour was striking as the whole place was not radiating anything but a modest situation still not as poor as one would say when spotting the house from outside.
I told him something about liking his house using the old name and he was alright with it even though it seemed weird to me.
Next thing I know I am in the house as I was invited over and his parents were there as well. His dad was older, perhaps in his 60s, fat, short white hair, little grey moustache, not very striking as a man but a bit intimidating. He was wearing a white shirt which showed its struggle in covering him and beige pants, same fashion.
His mom, on the other hand, surprised me with her extravagant look, fancy clothes, the usage of red [which was on a hat one would usually wear at special occasions such as tea with the queen of England rather than my stupid visit], a hair curly in a hairdo also fancy, a bit reddish but darker, closer to brown than ginger. She was pretty agitated with my visit while her husband was sitting there asking me very seriously if I was smoking. I said I'd do it now and then.
The weirder thing is the continuation where I am waking the Old Lady's clothes [the one I am going to as I write this] and having struggle with squeezing the laundry as I do any time I try. I wanted to call for Jacq to help me and then I woke with the feeling and image of him and I doing it together, after the dream was over.
I did not expect it especially after I've been a bitch about him but I wanted to write it down because it felt like a gift I didn't deserve.
Memory came somehow unannounced. I haven't tried remember anything lately but this made its way in with little to no effort. Wonderful entrance. The information on the other hand is quite surprising which makes it hard to believe. My instinct doesn't let me see it as fantasy or lie. Something inside insists that's the only truth and if it is so, then it's one of the best things I've ever remembered.
It was him, Salai, and he was fooling around as he used to. A habit I found both lovely and at times, tiring. Yet one day it was no more than inspiration for the painting everybody knows. He stood there with a piece of material, I think shirt it was, dropped off his shoulders, looking at me from the angle that made his smile so precious. Candle light, warm and orange, not much but enough to see what I needed.
Then I started the painting, that night, and I called it after him yet I continued with her, as everyone knows. He minded at first and I don't know if he forgave me or just stood silent so that I don't get too affected. There are her eyes but there is his hair, his smile, and hands.
I don't know if she ever knew but the background was finished when she occurred. Here is where my confusion takes over. The painting shown in the show looks similar to my memory. Yet, the moment I started working on the woman, the lower half was finished, more or less.
Fragments of a conversation on The Most Recent
[. . ] the story I was just told
I was a fucking groupie or sort
I don't know what was between me and Kurt but I think the fact that I was around pissed someone off [the cabin incident to which I come back later] and whenI had the accident it was dark as fuck, I was driving home from a CD store [praised be the 90s]
Now back to the cabin
I can recall with stupidly high accuracy and with pretty much all senses I was on a floor, on a carpet before a fire and with a light blue blanket with a pattern that made it look older than it was already
I was pale as fuck nush dacă de la natura sau aveam ceva, dar mi-a bătut la ochi deci presupun ca a doua varianta [no idea whether that was how I naturally looked or I was unwell but given how I noticed I think the later]
I could feel tension behind but I was too moleșită to react so I tried to pretend it wasn't happening and prayed I would not get kicked out in that cold when I couldn't walk properly.
There are people that, as days go, find their answers, and stick to that. I do not find myself as one of those. I either find none or rise up more questions because, well, why not? Am I supposed to just take anything and say “That’s cool”? Why, how, and how far can I go with this?
It’s not far from an update, what’s going on. A new package is installing, slowly, but you don’t know what it comes with. When the phone updates, you don’t always see the changes. Sometimes you can notice it moves faster or programs fail more often.
Guess the same goes for this. It’s still not easy to speak freely, as claiming a person is no easy job even now. Could that even mean you’re claiming yourself, but, who can guarantee? You may rely on random flashes, imagines that switch faster than power points in college, sensations, events that suddenly show up inside your mind, or you may question your sanity.
Effortlessly I saw the “snow”, the people, the place [such a strong sensation, emotion, it’s like living that place, so soaked in energy, and so big, grey, imposing], the one I had to pick up. God, it stank. Most of the places stank but, at some point, it’s unbearable. That point is when you realize where it’s from. As radical and cruel and even full of hate I may be, there are limits. Why did I care? Hell if I know. Do I try to find out? Yes. Am I advancing? Not really, the update just goes on.
Am I still justifying myself? Certainly. Who wouldn’t? In the even of any confirmation I still need to be able to live with myself. Unfortunately, I know myself and what I am capable of, above all. And this is causing me great fear. Even as I write this I have someone knocking. Can’t tell who, don’t know why, but I like the vibe.
They all have a different one though, but only Theodora has mine entirely, the same, unaltered. Weird how from her I don’t have much close to nothing. Then there would be Kitty, and a little, but not much, 14.
Is this how it works? Maybe. Can I stop looking for the proof? No. Am I more Catherine or Robert then?
“Suddenly, there was a weird kind of stench and we came from where the stench [ . . ] and my mother said <<What a curious place there, c-can you smell, can you smell roasting meat>> I said <<Yes, I can>> [ . . ] said <<Are they producing roasting chickens here? This time of the night?>> [ . . ] said <<Don’t know>>.“ As watching this, 08:37 - 09:02.

Unintentional flashes, they came as I was shuffling cards. I saw a place bathed in sun, wonderful, old, some green, gold details, no idea what I was doing. I thought of it as entrance. KB is coming towards me, I feel happier the closer he gets.
[short, partially copied from chat]
Tried a meditation session. Started with the feeling I was getting again the memory of Veronica I had in a dream that I forgot. It didn't follow that line, switched to E, more precisely a context I never actually hoped to get.
"You're too serious, Erich" I called it
It's what I heard after a folding chair collided with the back of my head.
<Tall guy tried to mess with him, ended up going somewhere in the left on terrace [that's how you call it?] where I could be alone
Tried a smoke, failed [of course] step on the cigarette, remembered it's a no, put it on the barrier [ripmyenglish] and launched it in the abyss>
Being asked why would that happen makes me wonder why I was not that surprised as my reply in chat was "Drunk, stoned, who knows". I memory I asked something like "Are you stoned?" and more swearing.
This episode rose more questions than answers as well as some denial and suspicions.
I think the mental state is an answer too, but another question coming later.
It was either early spring or autumn, but my guess would be the first. I was sitting on a plank, placed on a small carriage. Under, materials, clothes, and such. I thought sitting like this would leave more space for them under, ignoring the warning it would be dangerous. It wasn't me holding the reins, which makes the story quite peculiar as I don’ t know how the carriage actually looked.
What I can say is how they stopped and I fell, hitting my face on the wood before me. I know above one eye I was bleeding, and the other, the right one, I don’t know. My sight was dim and, at home, I looked in the mirror and saw myself with the right eye covered by white bandage.
More about this I cannot tell. I can tell the skyes were blue with some small clouds, and the she never saw the same. I was yet young, maybe 14-16 or so.
_____________________________________________
Unwillingly, I had a vision of a braid like this, blonde, I don’t know if that was the only one or both were braided like that, but I tend to think it was just one, made from more strings, 7 maybe even 8. I can’t find a picture of anything like that, but that which I saw was beautiful and, as it seems, quite unique.
What is it that we know so far, besides what google can provide:
The person we’re talking about has anxious tendencies, perhaps a result of events that occurred later in life, we all know what this is;
Most likely early family quarrel;
At some point things were going very well, pitch of well-being, besides, joining them was a big step, meeting JG even bigger. There are many mentions in different readings about spiritual guidance, seeking a mentor, and the one earlier mentioned seemed to be most fitted for this;
Once again, anxiety appears, this time in a reading [initially, there was just a feeling];
Shit got really bad, can’t tell precisely when, most likely after the boss would have been dead [circumstances yet to be analysed];
Another thing very present in readings is financial stability, I assume this came prior the war when things seem to have taken a positive turn [very often mentioned];
There was a point when he decided to re-evaluate choices, maybe when choose the other side, also present in different readings;
As far as I can tell, there’s a 90% chance of homosexual tendencies, but seems that was the trend in that club.
The list is not complete, as all these require further analysis.
footnote: There are memories of affairs with EH, perhaps 3, would have been 4. I tend to think there was an interest. She was just also very easy. Some close-ups of H are present as well, very disturbing.
Not to sound like I’m lacking a certain sense, but sometimes putting aside the factors we have agreed to form normality, could be healthy. It’s certainly healthy for those who seek satisfaction in discovering matters such as those regarding the soul.
I have too fallen into this long ago when my most interesting dream had happened. How many times is a guide literally guiding you towards a tunnel at the end of which you see your own execution from a century ago? Or that’s how much would have been next year, for dream came of 19th of November, 2017.
What did I see at the end? I saw that man dressed in a blue uniform, pointing a gun towards nothing, it would be just him sitting in a room like those from museums, where they place mannequins pretending to be doing what the owners of those clothes use to. Nothing was standing out like his huge, black mustache. That I had to focus on when drawing what that girl back then said was a man in Edwardian uniform. And, God, when I found that picture of the creature known as Yakov, I would hardly believe my eyes.
The same happened with the second dream, the one I had chosen to ignore back then. In a room very large, there was a lot of what looked like wood, and it was crowded. I would be just sitting between two men, extremely cramped, watching and listening to JG trying to talk to someone, explain something. He would later come to me exhausted saying something I don’t remember. H was the cause, the irritation causing him a rough time. If he were to have run a marathon, he would have been less worn-out. I would look up to him, the ones that were by my side moved aside so I could sit better.
What’s to do with this? Not much, except tell it to someone. It was just a dream. But there’s no such thing here. To us, there is just “later”. Things make sense later. How much had passed, that I can’t tell, but they all connect, from what seemed imagination, to a dream, and some cards that come in handy. All of these make a picture not yet to be understood completely, but as minimalist, as it is, there’s a story behind all of those.
What I imagined was another uniform, black. I was tall, well, taller than I’m used to, black leather gloves. It was winter and I was walking. I think it was snowing. Who knows. I don’t know if I’ve wrote about this before. And even if I did, I should again. Whole episodes, experiences, short films, all those are hard to believe, but some flashes alone with no context are impossible to. And it was the first mediation.
The second, the dream, would come later, and so would the memory. Through it I would catch a name that came by so easy, flew by me. From that came the research, which concluded to someone it feels haunting to talk about. He feels real, so real, it’s hard to claim.
What is it to claim anyway, if it’s mine? My person? “It would be weird to dream someone else’s memories” I said, and it’s true. But they overlay so much, who’s who? To invoke splits right now when they have so much in common, the only ones who manifested this way? How could I if not by declaring them both as me, not allowing their existence outside of mine? My selfishness is great, and I try to ignore it, even deny anything that leads to it.
And so it stands, the story, and next to come would be shorter, but a different post. This one is already too long, yet could be longer if I try to make sense of it.
As walking around a camp, carrying something on what looked like a plate, they stopped me and didn't let me go. The tall, blonde one grabbed me and took me in their tent where his two friends held me. Screaming and fighting didn't stop any of them, especially him. But he left out when fell. Dropped with the axe still in spine, penetrating it shamelessly, as he deserved. The hands of the idiots got softer, colder, I could leave and so I hid behind V, shaking, hanging onto his cloth as if grabbing it tigher would cleanse me of the memory. I don't know what exactly happened to the others but, in the end, they were gone, and all left would be scarlet red.
He took me by the shoulder outside where, once I'd empty my guts and organize my breath, he'd ask me what was I doing there. Given the vibe I'm getting, it was Giurgiu. I'm pretty sure it was. I don't know how I got there and I didn't get to answer. Last thing I know is a tight hug, warm with some blood, but I wouldn't like to know how I could have ended up there, especially without him knowing.
-Addition: re-read to make some corrections. Flashes and vibe getting stronger. The feeling associated seems to be extremely pleasing, welcoming, home-like. The magazine I read was that spark which started the now spreading fire.
“O Câmpeancă căsătorită cu un prinț“ out of all the random things that have come to me, this is the most cryptic. I would try to translate it, but it would also require an explanation, and any analysis could either kill its real meaning or reveal it, but should I risk? In a few moments I would know. ~~ Câmpeanu was her name. It translated as rustic, countryman. What I “heard” means “A countryman married to a prince”. I hesitated in converting because a literal translation would be a countrywoman, so she was referring to herself. But that prince, be it the one that we all know, why would she address him like that? Sarcasm? It would be a mean thing to say then, but typical. But if she meant it, then a lot of things change. To do a research would mean to waste a lot of time, read her works and maybe his, but all of them. And find, what? The answer to a riddle that helps me with what? Helps her with what? If I may write the following for her:
My dear darling, the language you talk in I know and understand, but only the words, for the sentences they make have their meaning so well hidden it could have as well been an Asian language where a letter is written with thousand lines. I am sorry, but I feel like I just overhear something you talk to a presence I cannot sense, either see. I’m sorry, I don’t see meaning of many if not all things, and this makes no exception. Sorry again, it’s my fault alone, you try and it’s my duty to help, but I’m afraid, terrified even, I cannot.
Is there, by any chance, the most meaningless dream an answer before one asked the question? The dream that makes no sense to give sense to something else, also lacking logic? But it took a dream and a picture to make that cold woman almost drop a tear. The woman that only showed me that someone, once, was doing her nails.
There in the dream, a blonde woman rode a byke. With her, a young boy. He had blonde hair too, but darker. A man, rode a motorcycle. I'd give a name, but I stick with B. He was coming from behind, but he was good at it. There, on a field filled with yellow flowers, were fences. Those simple, countryside fences, typical to peasants from hills regions. We would jump them. First the woman, then him. I remember her curly hair. It wasn't who I thought, this one was a little fatter. I remember noticing that in the dream too. Anyway, it all ended on a final piece of hill, to say so. They were all on the grass, hugging, having a great time.
Why the hell, how did I even dream this? I don't know. I really do not. The only thing that made sense was Mary's jump, her burst of feelings. I was looking for what she was doing in '47. Apparently, she was with 2 kids, a boy and a girl, taking pictures with her last husband. He was the best. An undeserved treasure. And I think she recognised him, associating the man with the one from the dream.
How? Why? I don't know. But if that's so, I'm glad he's fine too. And the yellow flowers, they were so beautiful. In the background, one could see a forest. Far, but not too far. The grass, God, it was of such a gorgeous young green. But it wasn't only yellow. There were too white spots. I want to remember that, because it looked and felt like paradise, despite the lack of sense.
Note: if I were to guess, I'd say the fences were the key. They were either lines or lives. I don't have answer but an assumption based on what could be or could be not coincide points to lives.
A light that can be both strong and pale, maybe its strength comes from the warmth, for it is warm. The place itself is not, but no one is called. Everyone has centered their attention on something else. There are few people, three maybe 4 in the shadow, 3 in the sunlight. I am very much in the dark, somewhere almost hidden in the back. It gets stronger as I talk about it, the way things always go. It’s impossible not to notice a patern in how these stuff go. It’s a weird science, but it is, without doubt, one.
Yes, it has to do with the Ides of March which have always had a specific vibe, pleasant one, peaceful. Far from what they turned out to be. I know where it is supposed to be, I know what it’s supposed to happen. The probability is 99.99%, which raises once more a doubt, but the weakest doubt I’ve ever had regarding these maters of the past.
How could some people have been everywhere, every time something important was happening? Where were others? I don’t know. But what rationality cancels, the feelings approve with all their heart. I, for one, try to stay neutral. Still, that’s when those feelings come in, stronger, angrier even.
Those being said, there is a chance I may be remembering a painting, or an actual scene. A man in the sun was wearing a scarlet material, with copper pattern. It seemed some sort of plaid from that distance, but the _closer I get, _I can see it’s more complex, if not the traditional, or rather stereotypical roman pattern. Another is wearing beige with brown details. Other tones of blue. I don’t know what I am wearing, but now I know I am hiding. And I wasn’t getting closer, I was paying more attention. Why am I hiding? Am I a man or a womf? I’m afraid, for the first time I can tell these questions shall be answered.
Background details: the floor in sunlight is covered in stone, one that shines. It is yellow and here and there it makes place for pots from which rise plants of shy green. Where I am the stones are bigger, in tones of grey, perhaps from the shadow. It is, indeed, morning. There are poles, pillars sustaining the source of the shadows, a roof I cannot see for I am not looking up. My focus **must **remain on the men. There is one plant that is bigger than all others. I wonder, in a situation where I was hiding, trying not to be caught, observing with the biggest caution those people, why did a plant caught my eye? And a fountain. I can’t see it clearly, but I think it is indeed a fountain. This place is fancy.
An eternity had come to pass since I’ve had such clear memories. It’s just one, a fragment, the result of a flash which came in strongly and crystal clear, arousing the desire to look deeper for the in the crumb. I expected a slice, but it hardly made a piece. Still, that was way more than I could have ever hoped for. I didn’t force it at all. Like a spell resulted from whisper coming from somewhere else, I saw the scene.
The whole scene is so dark I wonder, was it night, or is this how some memories come? It was dark and I was behind a woman in a dark brown dress with beige details. Just thinking about it again comes along with feelings specific to that period, sensations I always associated with it, strengthening my belief it was a memory from her. The woman was walking slowly, I followed. It hardly felt like a movement, more like groping. The cause is not familiar with me yet I know we were heading a path even darker. I suspect the street was Lipscani, but I would love to see how the Old City looked back then so I could tell for sure “Yes, this is what I saw.” Unfortunately, only assumptions can be made. Anyway, as walking we had a dialog I can transcribe from a note I wrote last night after I remembered: Her: Are we going inside? [Mergem înăuntru?]
Me: Yes. [Da]
H: Your beloved isn’t coming? [Dragul tău nu vine?]
M: No, he’s busy. [Nu, că are treabă.]
H: What is he doing? [Dar ce face?]
M: I don’t know, I don’t interfere in his work. I just wished he were tidier. (?) [Nu știu că nu mă bag eu în treaba lui. Aș fi vrut doar să fie mai ordonat.] Now, everything written here is aproximate and due to the lack of details, any interpretation can be done. Therefore, the person I was talking to can be anyone, just like the one we were talking about. Yes, the obvious answer is most likely it, but as previously stated, the absence of any details regarding the destination, visit purpose or people they were meant to see there leave possibilities open. Yet, I would prefer the obvious and so I choose that option for my comfort especially because she wanted to speak so many times and, as it seemed, her unfortunate being had one purpose in life and that haunts her to this day so I choose to listen as much as I can and interpret in plane manner for the obvious is not necessarily boring or to be avoided.
