Ak sa nemôžeme vidieť kvôli práci, alebo preto, lebo sme stále na iných miestach, chceme sa stretávať v snoch. Vedeli sme, že sa počas najbližších 3 mesiacov neuvidíme. Stretneme sa v lucídnom sne, tam, kde si myslíme, že sme v realite, ale veci sa správajú trochu inak. Reality check. Sme v miestnosti, kde sme zaspali, vedľa nás je pohár s vodou, chceme sa napiť, ale svojou dlaňou prechádzame skrz pohár.

Mermaids I might have had a lucid dream.
I just know that someone spoke to me and that someone was me: but you can wake up, you are dreaming.
What I found nice in Quora: to be better in lucid dreaming is that always during the day, during our wake time we should ask ourselves a question: “Am I dreaming?” That we should pay closer attention to our hands and our feet because when we are dreaming they are usually blurred. I wish that at this moment I could just look at my hands and notice that they are blurred.

Dnes sme sa po 3 mesiacoch stretli v Budapešti, aby sme spolu spali a snívali v hotelovej izbe, ktorú mala Tanja booknutú Srbským národným divadlom, kde je umeleckou riaditeľkou. Včera pred polnocou večeriame na šiestom poschodí budapeštianského Národného divadla vedľa červeného Ludwig Múzea, dva týždne dozadu Tanja poslala do našej WhatsApp konverzácie Mermaids fotku herečky fajčiacej na balkóne v divadle s komentárom “one mermaid today on rehearsal“. Okolo nás prechádza herečka, ktorá fajčí 60 rokov. Nik fajčí 20, ja 18. Ideme fajčiť na balkón, odkiaľ sa pozeráme na betónový špirálový koláč, vedľa ktorého je zelený labyrint. Dohodli sme sa, že sa po precházke labyrintom stretneme na vrchu koláča a zapálime oheň.

If we can’t see each other because of work or because we're always in the other places, we want to meet in dreams. We knew that we can’t see each other in the upcoming three months. We will meet in the lucid dream, there where we think we are in reality but things behave a little bit different. Reality check. We are in the room, where we fell asleep, nearby is a glass of water, we want to drink from it but our palm passes through the glass.

Today we’ve met after three months in Budapest in order to sleep and dream together in the hotel room, which was booked by Serbian National Theatre, where Tanja is the artistic director at the moment. Yesterday before midnight we had dinner on the sixth floor of Hungarian National Theatre next to the red Ludwig Museum. Two weeks ago Tanja sent into our WhatsApp conversation “Mermaids” the photo of an actress smoking a cigarette on the balcony in the theatre with the comment “one mermaid today on a rehearsal”. An actress is passing by. She has been smoking for 60 years. Nik has been smoking for 20, I for 18. We go to smoke to the balcony from where we observe a concrete spiral cake situated next to the green labyrinth. We agreed that we will meet after the walk through the labyrinth at the top of the cake, where we will set the fire.

Mermaids i might have had lucid dream
I just know that someone said and that someone was me:but you can wake up you are
dreaming
Whata i found nice in quora:how to be better in lucid dreaming is that always during the
day, during our wake time we should ask ourselves question:am I dreaming? That we
should pay
Closer attention to our hands and our feet because when dreaming they are usually
blurred
I wish that in this moment i could just look at my hands and notice that they are blurred
Just before waking up i dreamed that a colleague told me that noone likes my behaviour
when i go out
Because i spend time in mud
I was in the open air room and there were three bridges above each other in front of that
room and the sea under them filling up slowly like a water clock. While the water was
growing the bridges were succesively under it. And I was observing this growing water
wall. The open air room was not wet though. There was a person fighting with a golden
scarab flying around that person. Then I woke up and heard the noise of insect flying
above me.
How to count sheep in 14 steps
Maybe we started something like collective dreaming. Maybe we started visiting each
other in dreams. A colleague of mine, my father and me. Maybe one dream was
induced by another. My colleague my father and I. My colleague dreamed that I gave
birth and my father dream that he had another baby daughter whom he took on holiday.
I sleep deeply without dreams and want a child that would take me out of my office
Yesterday I ve changed the creepy teepee hoodie which I was wearing for a week and
took a sweater with vampire smile in front. I was traveling with bus and tried to enter a
traveling dream but I was waking up in weird positions and could not figured out what I
was dreaming about. Then today morning arrived to Prague and had a call with Laura
who told me that she had a funny dream watching me in some kind of vampire costume
organizing performance we were going to do
Hey dears I ll be late.yesterday when katarinas brother came I offered him a juice and
tea and we drank a that nice black smoked tee Clara gave me. And somehow I
mentioned it that it might affect us but then till 2 we were still speaking together and
then till seven I was still quite high so I fell asleep early morning and now woke up from
very cool lucid dream were I ve met Emiliou while massaging very old person in white
plisee furniture boxes. Running to u

Monday morning
I m sleeping with Tilman and we re sharing one blanket. I woke up because I need to
pee. There is light on the ceiling coming from the flat opposite to us. There is a old guy
sewing piano or at least in that shadowy light he looks like this. Now I’m trying to fall
asleep but it’s not possible so I’m staring at the ceiling. The light goes off. Blue
rectangle on the ceiling covering half of the lamp desappears. The guy went to the toilet.
I’m counting all the corners in the room. They say counting is good for falling asleep. My
father counts each tempo while he is swimming. He counts cars while driving. My
brother counts in which rhythm the cars are passing. I became a bit obsessed with this
counting so instead of falling asleep I kept counting corners also the round ones so it
was not anymore clear what is the corner and where the room ends. The edges became
more round and voluptuous, the actual shape of the room changed. Then I came to the
kitchen and I entered the big sink and took a bath.
Any dreams?
Then Tilman came and told me about the weird painting he did and which was
connected to some curse. So yes I had to turn in order to step into that blue rectangular
shape in order to enter the place we were going to. There was this moment of stepping
out of the u form and stepping into the blue. In between like in the train stepping from
the vehicle to the ground or other type of surface there is a gap in between. Here the
gap was steep and deep and super. Yes I was thinking about falling but I had fun with
balance. I stepped into the blue. We entered. I woke up. I’m telling to Tilman what
happened and he says that it’s interesting because he just wrote a concept for the new
city of Frankfurt where they re calling old curse coming from medieval times back to the
same place rebuilt now in the same way as it was long time ago.
My dreams are supposed to become prohepices during the summer
sending flowers
i had this dream again when i am the road and all the cars are passing on me - its my
migrain dream
My sister had a dream that I was eaten by shark in pool! Aslo Dylan from Beverly Hills
90210 died :( Connection?
I was dreaming that I have a dream, but I was not sleeping yet
I am constantly dreaming about power struggled in the national theater
I either wake up too early or too late
In front of my building last night a dream like occurence:it was raining heavily and all
around copies of this printed photo and text were scattered. The text part says:Jelena
Bozinovic, take a look at what your husband is up to while at "work"

💋waw
Reality check
I keep waking up in the middle of the night feeling that some theater directors or actors
are by my side
Is it lynchian situation or am i loosing my mind

😌

Wooow

I see that during my sleepless night there were more of u with cute dreams, Else head
her hear which was going thru her nose and mouth as the video with the girl and a
string I ve sent u when u went to get camera in ur stomach and Carmen dreamt about
that she said to sun to come out and then it appeared while it was snowing her in early
morning. Cata had a dream about the ship she had to leave a book in the bottom and
then she was saving a black child she was going to adopt and Rene dreamt about a
screaming lady who was going to be abuse by a man on the roof and Rene wanted to
help her but then police came and somehow throw the guy from the window so he saw
how the guy was splashed on the floor.
I dreamed that i hooked up with a protest leader
Then he tells me about his dream about the father who is calling from the magnetic
phones hanged on the wall to daughters. And when they pick up he passes the
magnetic phone to his daughters and then they chat together for a long time.
Couple of nights ago i had a usual dream of mine that keeps repeating for years -
someone i am in love with leaves, kisses or caresses another girl. I woke up in the
middle of the night and tried to write down a dream with as many details as i could
remember. I was writing in an orange notebook, i once got from else for my birthday,
where i now try to write some poetry that i don't show to anyone. My psychiatrist thought

it would have been good idea to try practicing connecting with myself and surpressed
emotions.
There should be opening and he seems afraid of it so I’m trying to calm him down.
When I came back to the room his face and the face of another guy were approaching
the window but from outside. I m not scared, actually quite excited by this gothic image
and even happy about the sudden dynamic change and the meeting of ghosts taking
bath just a moment ago. But I know we should find the way out of the curse. Then we
come to the city. Flying objects some kind of battle but no weapons. More telepathic
skills and magic. Then we re flying above the river and entering the big wall space. The
wall has a huge pattern. We want to enter the wall but there are no evident entrances.
Flying along the wall. Coming closer. I see a small blue rectangle coming out of the wall.
I park in the way that I have to turn my back and step from the flying tool which has the
shape of u form line and it’s quite a thing to keep balance on it but it’s a matter of
practice of levitation and balance coordination. The hands holds the u form on the top
sides and the longs are slightly floating above the downer part.
As i was writing down the dream trying to describe my usual victim role position and
feeling i remembered that a dream had an intro. In it i jerked of my loved one's best
friend's penis, which resembled his very much and was wondering as i was doing it why
i am trying to hurt him in that way. Maybe it was time to admit that i take on active role in
my relations. Another detail i remembered - as i was peeing - my object of desire his girl
and some other young peoole were inside an orange cage. I was outside of it, free.
Today czech dance platform finished in dialogue discussion between institutions and
people involved. I fell relieved after all these talks. On the way back home I played in
loop my favorite song “waiting around to die” and went to sleep and dreamt a lot. We
were stealing objects in cake shapes from precious materials in glasshouse full of palms
:) then I had a magic bond with the cleaning lady who saw me hiding in the toilet
because I didn’t escape early enough and later I entered beautiful exhibition with
projectors in shape of theater building in the underground nearby toilets I was hiding
before.
One mermaid today at the rehearsal
Smoking and eating with her feet in the air i love this crazy bitch
kisses to her
Then i found u all hanging around red velvet sofa. I had a small box in my hand with a
slimy thing inside and we were speaking about golden object which was somewhere
around which fit inside
Premonitions are impossible and they come true all the time.
Dear mermaids
Flags waving from budapest

I talk about gods;I’m an atheist. But I am an artist too, and therefore a liar. Distrust
everything I say. I am telling the truth.
