Dreams of:

Alica
Here's a dream: I was walking along an unfamiliar street
in an unknown and desolate city. On one square I came
across a high building that appears to be all made of
glass with a pointed roof like a cathedral. Curiously, I
went inside the building. Walking inside the building, I
realized that in the building itself there is another new
and glittering glass building. I climbed over one small
bridge to the next floor. The sun gleamed and entered
into the building through the walls because it was all
glass and everything was bathed in light. And when I
finally went upstairs, there I found a pair of shoes. And
then I woke up...

I dreamed that I was at a party, with a friend from
Sarajevo's life, and I wondered why I felt so easy and
somehow smoothly moving through the crowd, until I
realized that we were both seahorses. The beauty of
the dream was the beauty of that sense of movement in
the body of something else. I have a mass of
nightmares dreams, this one is easy to compose music
to, I think...
Hajrija
I'm alive ... sometimes ... I dream, I dream often ...
Mostly sweet dreams... In the morning, with coffee, I
look at Book of Dreams what it means ... Last night's
dream ... I dream of my late mother that hugs me, that
is healthy and we talk about what we'll have for lunch ...
I love you. I'm glad you called...

Edina
I dreamed, I was standing on the balcony, and people
through throw potatoes and stones at me, and I felt
guilty. I dreamed I was climbing up the wall of a church,
and it was raining, and I'm afraid I'd fall. I dreamed of
flying above a city with lots of buildings and greenery, it
was beautiful and horrible at the same time...
Tamara
Hey, I have notating my own dreams because it calms
me down. Nightmares, and also my numerous illnesses
make me feel exhausted... Here's one dream 21.1.: My
car broke at the dangerous country border... Such a bad
luck, that it just had to happen at the border! I am
talking about it with my deceased family: parents, sister
and grandmother. I remember that. I do not know
whether it is helpful...
