Introduction: I have decided to note my dreams alongside many other things from my daily life in this blog. I think that these first-person experiences can be valuable data for scientific researches. So, consider me as a supplier. I have no fear (not at all?) to share my personal opinions, profound desires, and strange experiences with others since I can discuss them with myself quite easily.
Dream (and Analysis together): He said: "Every new democratic government is the continuation of the previous empires". The narrator (teacher?) was a man, probably over 35-40 ages. May not be as well. Perhaps it was me, myself. Maybe from now, maybe from the future.
I saw a book cover in Turkish title, the sentence above was probably written there. I do not recall any more particular ideas like that. I guess the title was like "Mufakathane"*, which seems like an Ottoman word to me, for some reason. The book was about law and state governance. Probably that new democratic government indicates today's Turkey, and the empire was Ottoman. Or Soviet-Russia? I think not. There was no face as far as I recall, it was a close-up scene of the book and sounds. Therefore, the place was unknown. I am, in real (conscious) life, not interested in politics and the principals and concepts of states. I was reading the "Felsefinin Tarihi" (History of Philosophy) by Ahmet Cevizci which obviously contains Socrates and his political (or state) philosophy. I postponed reading it after 50-60 pages. I have not read "Republic" by Plato yet, but it is definitely in my to-read-list. Maybe this had an influence. Otherwise, I see no connection between me and the state governance book. This reading adventure happened around 10-11 days ago. Likewise, I have watched 2 or 3 Youtube videos from "Flu Tv" by Emrah Safa Gürkan (teacher?) and İlker Canikligil about the history of the Ottoman and modern Turkey almost 6-7 days ago.
Before sleeping: It was 00:25 am when I went to my bed. I had my supper around 1-1.5 hours before sleeping which I usually don't prefer to do. I was reading "The interpretation of Dreams" by Sigmund Freud. In the meanwhile, I was also writing a book about God or Gods. I have designed the book cover around 2 hours before sleeping. I tried to make something minimalist: just my name, a dead color background, and the book name. After reading "The interpretation of Dreams", I was naturally encouraged to see a dream tonight. I have read only the first 88 pages of the book, but I was already aware of these four sources of the dream:
"Four possible sources of dreams: a) mentally significant experiences represented directly, b) several recent and significant experiences combined into a single unity by the dream, c) one or more recent and significant experiences which are represented in the content by the mention of a contemporary but indifferent experience, and d) an internal significant experience, such as a memory or train of thought, that is invariably represented in the dream by a mention of a recent but indifferent impression."
I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and put some warm water on my face and my neck for a night of light sleep. When I was back in my bed, I realized I have urine. You know the moment, you can urinate but you don't have to either. Urine is close enough full to send "notification" signals to the brain, but not exactly there yet. I just wanted to keep it to bother me in my sleep and lead me to see a dream. Besides, I wanted to increase the possibility of seeing a dream by whispering some spontaneous words, around 10-15 words. However, I was not smart enough to write them down. I suspect the word "chess" (because I play every day, at least 1 hour), but it did not appear in the dream. I probably said "book" as well. Additional factors: I do not remember my sleeping position, but I guess I was lying in "log position", over my right shoulder. My blanket sometimes did not cover my feet completely. I always lie with my clothes.
After the dream: I woke up by the noise of the alarm. First, I was almost upset that I did not see a dream because the first thing I saw was the notebook and pen at the bedside. (later edit: the fact that the dream which is believed to be forgotten in the morning may be recalled in the course of the day on the occasion of some perception which accidentally touches the forgotten content of the dream (Radestock, Tissie)) Suddenly, I remembered the book title and the rest came itself. However, I was confused about the shortness of the plotline in the dream. I went to the bathroom, and I urinated in a longer period than usual. Maybe twice. Thus, it seems my urine was full. So, in my first try, I saw a dream and I did remember that. (later edit: Anyone who for some time applies himself to the investigation of dreams, and takes a special interest in them, usually dreams more during that period than at any other; he remembers his dreams more easily and more frequently. (Freud))
A reminder: As I said, I am still at the beginning of Freud's book, so I may not understand some "signs" very well. I searched "urine" (9) and "urinate" (11) in the book, and it appears almost 20 times in total. It means I will read a lot about it. Think about this early dream writing as a raw approach and introduction to dreams of mine.
*Mufakathane - There is no such a word. The closes version is "Muvafakatname, which means "deed of consent".
