   OK, so I posted the wrong date yesterday (should've been 8/2 Friday, NOT 8/1)!   
      
   Meanwhile, the one dream that caught my attention most, right before waking,   
   involved being in what seemed the Coleman Cemetery (where Uncle Dave Macon as   
   well as my sister, Cynthia, are buried) but it didn't have the "sense" of   
   "cemetery" in the dream,    
   merely of *location,* not so much "identification."  At any rate, there was   
   this HUGE old tree in the dream.  I spent some time yesterday (or possibly the   
   day before) admiring a mighty oak in a neighbor's front yard, and realizing it   
   was not likely more    
   than 60, possibly less than (due to the age of the neighborhood) but it was a   
   GOODLY size!  The tree in the dream was perhaps roughly the same size, but   
   differently shaped.  My attention was focused on a lower branch that was   
   perhaps 2' or more in    
   diameter, and from my point of view (POV) / perspective, it was growing to the   
   "left" which, if this really *were* in Coleman Cemetery, would've been   
   pointing "north" -- ish.  What caught my attention *most* about this branch   
   was that it appeared to have    
   a HUGE chunk taken out of it from above, as if a VERY large giraffe had bent   
   down from above and just taken a massive bite out of the top of the branch.    
   Due to the shape and direction of the growth of the branch, which narrowed a   
   bit the further it    
   reached away from the trunk, the loss of "wood" was lessened toward the left /   
   north until the missing section no longer affected the shape.  There was one   
   other "odd" part about this branch, in that the end of it appeared to have   
   been doubled "back"    
   towards where the bite was located.  Under normal conditions, a tree branch   
   never doubles "back," but this one did, and it appeared to still be alive   
   (bent, not broken) which resonates with me in the sense that I'm trying to get   
   "back" to my relationship    
   with Gina -- a large, missing "chunk" taken out of my branch of life.  Hmmm....
