i dreamt that i was staying in berlin for a while, it was night and i was on my way home from somewhere. i had a map but i never seemed to get back to where i was living, the map changed every time i looked at it, i was tired and didn’t want to walk anymore. noone was on the street, but i could head crowds cheering in the distance.
i dreamt it was raining heavily and that the rain damaged the ceiling in my kitchen and hall so badly that the ceiling started to crack and lowered itself until my head almost touched it. i angrily called my landlord and shouted at him on the phone that it is absolutely unacceptable that i pay so much rent for an apartment like this.
i can’t really remember what i dreamt last night, but i think judd apatow was in my dream and i was incredibly sad all the time.
i had two dreams about snakes last night:
a) there was a snake volcano, meaning that there was a volcano-shaped structure as tall as a person in a room. i was lying at the foot of the snake volcano, already covered in snakes. they kept coming out of it, crawling over and under each other, lying heavy on my chest and crawling up my arms. i couldn’t breathe anymore and wanted to ask a person standing next to me to call Helga Happ, the biologist who owns the reptile zoo in the town i grew up in. i hoped she could save me.
b) there was a snake living in a zoo. it was huge and terrifying. it was blue and was guarding a red egg, which people thought to be its own egg, but i knew better. i knew it was a dragon egg! the snake was at least fifteen meters long and when it opened its mouth, it had lots of terrifying teeth, much like these fish that live deep, deep under the sea where it is pitch black dark. men who worked at the zoo tried to come near it and i expected it to swallow their heads whole any second.
i dreamt i was on vacation with some friends in a little town in either spain or france, one of these towns that still look like they did in the middle ages with a city wall around it. i had the address of our hotel written down, but we couldn’t find it on the map. it was on “Goldgemüsebeet”. we did get our rental car though. it was a white van with a television screen at every seat.
last week i dreamt that i was holding a dog’s muzzle shut so it wouldn’t bite me.
i dreamt that i was staying in a wooden house with a big back yard and panoramic windows. there was a stream in the back yard and some rocks and we knew there was a cougar around, a dangerous animal. suddenly, i was outside and it was there. it followed me around, i ran from it, i climbed up the roof and felt like a cat myself, but of course the cougar was the bigger cat and it knew how to get me.
i locked it into a locker, just like the ones we had in high school, but it was strong and no matter how much i tried to press the door shut, it always managed to get one of its paws out to try to hit me.
the door swung open, i was sure it was gonna kill me, but as it leaped out, it transformed into a man, a man i think i know, but i cannot remember who he was. he was wearing a black shirt with a neon color print. he must have been taller than me, for i cannot remember looking at his face when standing next to him, i just saw the pattern on the shirt.
i dreamt that i was eating and all my front teeth started to fall out.
i dreamt that a. had been caught on camera making out with taylor swift on an escalator in a shopping mall. i was part of a talk show run by two gigantic models in high heels that confronted me with the situation and tried to convince me that i now need to immediately end this relationship. i was confused, mainly because i had no idea why they should be able to tell me how to handle the situation. i pushed one of them and she fell. that felt good.
i dreamt that it was raining in vienna and that i was standing in a doorway not to get wet. leonard cohen walked by, he was wearing a trench coat and a hat and was talking on his mobile with his wife. he said “no, i don’t wanna go home! i am supposed to stay here until sunday! you can’t tell me what to do!”
i dreamt i was living with a circus. actor bill bailey was the circus director and he had a tiny white and very fat dog. the dog followed me everywhere and so i began to teach the dog tricks. i wasn’t very successful. most of the time the dog was wearing a sweater, except for that one time when it was wearing a tiny ball gown.
i dreamt that i was at a zoo with a big pool full or fish where kids were allowed to swim. the fish were different sizes, ranging from rather small to the size of a big shark. the kids were noisy and hyperactive, i watched them play and swim. then for a minute, i had to walk away to do something else. when i came back, a gigantic fish had eaten one of the kids. his shoe was swimming on the surface and his little leg was still sticking out of the fish’s mouth.
