I’ve met the devil in a dream in April 2010 and I think there’s a connection to the volcanic eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull in April 2010. I believe these volcanic eruptions released an evil spirit on the Earth and the whole world is suffering from this.

1. THE 2010 VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS OF EYJAFJALLAJÖKULL

In fact, it is April 2019 now, but I’d still like
to take a look back at April 2010 when the
volcano Eyjafjallajökull erupted on Iceland.
Sometimes we need to go back in time to
understand the world today. Eyjafjallajökull
started erupting on Wednesday 14 April
2010. This was not an ordinary eruption,
because it had big consequences for all air
travel in the Netherlands, my home country,
but also in many other countries in Europe.
Finally on Thursday 15 april 2010 the Dutch
authorities officially cancelled all air travel,
because a gigantic ash cloud would come
over the Netherlands. Of course a volcanic
eruption is never an ordinary event, but
this eruption was very different from other
eruptions, because it released an evil spirit.
Why do I believe that? Well, I’m going to
explain this.

2. THE DEMON OF POLLUTION

During the night from 14 to 15 April 2010
I got a really weird dream. Maybe I should
call it a nightmare, because this dream is
extremely disturbing. In this dream I meet
a wild man who appears in my parental
home and walks around there. I don’t know
what he’s doing here, because I’ve never
invited him. My parents are on vacation,
so I watch their house. I’m all alone until
this strange creepy guy suddenly appears
on the stairs. He looks like a wild man from
the forest. Pale skin color, tall, athletic and
completely naked. He makes some strange
animalistic sounds and walks like a drunk
man. He has tailbone length straight white
hair and also a medium length white beard.
He looks like a human being, but there’s still
something different about him. I can’t really
explain this, but I just know that I’m looking
at a supernatural creature. He might be a
wizard coming from a different world or
dimension.

In this dream the wild stranger walks up the
stairs to the second floor. From my bedroom
I can see him walking upstairs, because the
door of my room is open, but he doesn’t
enter my bedroom, because he knows that
I don’t want him to enter. So he just keeps
staring at me. Slowly, I walk towards him.
I wonder what this stranger is doing in my
house. It’s an unusual situation, because I’m
dressed and he’s naked. Then he goes down
the stairs to the first floor and I follow him
to see where he’s going. There he enters my
parents’ bedroom and is standing next to
the bed. He seems to be very horny, because
he tries to seduce me in an unapologetic
way. So he turns and bends over to show
his buttocks while leaning on the bed with
stretched arms. He looks at me and keeps
waiting for me to mount him, but I refuse
to penetrate him. I am gay, but I don’t like
anal sex. Besides, I just don’t want to touch
him at all, because my spirit feels that this
creature is evil. I guess he’s disappointed
or angry that I refuse to have sex, because
then something really horrible happens.
He starts vomiting in the room and he’s
doing this on purpose! He doesn’t hurt or
attack me physically, but he wants to make
the whole room around me dirty. His puke
looks like a volcanic eruption. It comes on
the walls, the bed, the furniture, the mirror
and the floor. It’s everywhere! I have never
seen anything like this. It feels like an evil
dragon is spitting huge balls of fire through
the room. Then after a while I wake up in my
bedroom and everything is peaceful again.

I got up in the morning of April 15th and
of course I felt confused by this disturbing
dream and tried to figure out what it could
mean. I was aware this is not just another
dream. I felt so angry and I was thinking:
‘How dare this bad spirit come in my dream,
in my mind and in my parental home! He’s
so disrespectful to me and my parents. I love
my mother and stepfather and I won’t let
anyone hurt them. So just get the hell out
of our lives!’ My mother has always been
there for me and has always been a loving
person and deserves all the best in life. I had
a good relationship with my stepfather when
I was a young child around 1983-1986, but
after that we didn’t get along, although our
relationship started to get better again when
I was in my 20s. Especially when he started to
get sick. I wish him good health.

Back to my dream. What that demon did to
me in this dream feels like spiritual assault.
The dream is not about sex. It only seems
that way. It’s just a silly game that he plays.
I call it ‘temptation’. I don’t believe that
he’s interested in sex. He’s just pretending.
What he really wants, is my soul, but he
will never get my soul, because my soul
belongs to me. That makes him angry and
that’s why he wants to destroy everything
around me and he wants to isolate me and
he wants to hurt the people that I love,
but I will never allow him to do that. By the
way, this was not the first time that I met
the devil in a dream. I have met him many
times before in other dreams and he looks
different in every dream. He can take any
physical shape, skin color and hair color
he wants.

I can’t remember exactly what time it
was, but a little later in the morning or
afternoon I saw a huge ash cloud in the
sky from the windows of my bedroom,
although the ash cloud was still far away.
My parental home was close to the coast
in The Hague, so I could see the ash cloud
right above the North Sea. I was shocked,
because never in my life had I seen a natural
phenomenon like this before. Later that day
I talked about the eruption with my family,
but I never told them my dream, because
I did not want to frighten them. I turned
on the TV to listen to the news and I heard
a big annoucement that all airplane flights
would be cancelled. So I wondered if there
was a connection between this new volcanic
eruption and the evil wild man in my dream,
but I didn’t want to pay too much attention
to this sick dream, so I tried to forget it and
get on with everyday life.

Through the years I’ve wondered why this
evil spirit revealed himself to me. There
might be an explanation. In spring 1990
when I was 11 years old, I wrote a little
song about a volcano. The title of this song
is ‘A libra is like a volcano’ (Original Dutch
title: ‘Een weegschaal is als een vulkaan’).
A few years later in October 1997 when
I was 19 years old, I made a drawing with
colored pencils and I called it ‘The Libra
Volcano’. It used to hang on the wall in
my bedroom. For me personally The Libra
Volcano is a symbol for emotional balance,
harmony with nature and peace. Maybe
this song and this drawing caught the
attention of an evil spirit. It’s possible that
he interprets my song and drawing in a
very different way. I guess he thinks that
I’m interested in a volcanic spirit like him.
Well, of course I’m interested in the forces
of nature, because I love the Earth, but I’m
not interested in nasty spirits like him.
Polluters are not welcome in my home.

3. WHAT THE DREAM COULD MEAN FOR THE WORLD

But now it’s nine years later (April 2019)
and I look back on all those years and
everything that has happened in the world.
I realize this dream is not only about me
or my family, but it’s also about the world.
So here’s my interpretation of this dream.
The evil spirit wants to pollute and destroy
my home and that’s the Earth. The fire
breathing spirit is a symbol for a new era
and zeitgeist worldwide: demoralization,
hatred, chaos, negativity and a lot of dirt.
So much drama has happened in Europe
and the rest of the world since April 2010:
the financial crisis and the bankruptcy of
Greece (= the oldest country in Europe),
a very high rate of unemployment in the
Netherlands and other European countries,
multiple terrorist attacks in cities all over
the world, the rise of ISIL (Islamic State) in
the Middle East and Boko Haram in West
Africa, the kidnapping of girls in the town
of Chibok in Nigeria, huge numbers of
refugees coming from Syria and Africa,
refugees dying in the Mediterranean Sea,
human trafficking, the re-emergence of
xenophobia in Europe, the Brexit drama
in the United Kingdom, the rise of neo-
nazism in Europe and the USA, the rise
of antisemitism, polarization between
black people and white people in the
Netherlands after criticizing the annual
Dutch tradition of Sinterklaas and Zwarte
Piet (= Saint Nicholas and his servant
Blackface), racial profiling by the police in
the United States which sparked the Black
Lives Matter movement, an escalation of
the ongoing conflict between Palestinians
and Israelis, the massacre of Palestinian
children by Israeli soldiers and politicians,
the emergence of a new Cold War between
Russia and the USA and Western Europe,
the threat of a nuclear war between the
USA and North Korea, the outbreak of
ebola virus in West Africa in 2013 and
zika virus in South America in 2015 and
the financial and presidential crisis in
Venezuela in 2019.

There’s also a financial crisis in Suriname
which is the country where my parents
come from. Everything has become very
expensive and most salaries are very low.
Criminality and political corruption are
big problems in Suriname. Another big
problem: The Earth is losing so many
forests and animal species. Sadly, our
seas and rivers are full of plastic objects.
It will get harder to get clean drinking
water in the future. And fresh air could
also become a scarcity as we continue to
pollute the air with our bad living habits.
