   2019/08/11 Sunday: Dream Recall (technique?)   
      
   Last night / this morning, I had a rather lengthy, involved, complex dream.    
   At some point before getting out of bed, I reminded myself what it was about,   
   but I did NOT bother dictating it into a recorder (apps these days are just as   
   easy to use as any    
   other device, which is basically a "physical app.")  Consequently, following   
   my breakfast routine, I'm sitting here with NO clear recollection of what it   
   was about.  So how to remember?   
      
   Well, for starters, there was this one dream from another night or two ago   
   that I forgot to post, so I could talk about IT a moment while allowing this   
   other dream to rise up.  It involved the attempt to mount a female, and while   
   there was no fight or    
   struggle, there was, however, no ability to enter, either.  Kinda like trying   
   to hook up while fully dressed:  just doesn't work.  Needless to say, it was a   
   short dream about frustration, not unlike trying to recall what I was dreaming   
   about last night /    
   this morning.   
      
   I seem to recall *one tiny section* involving some type of food delivery.    
   Whether I was making or receiving the delivery is unclear.  Whether it was a   
   pizza-like product or not is ALSO unclear.  There was more than one person on   
   the receiving end, or at    
   least there was *my* point of view and another person, let's put it that way.   
      
   In other news, we just passed some Arab "holy day" of sorts, eid al-Adha,   
   which is yet another attempt of Islam to steal the Abraham/Isaac story and   
   turn (roughly 2000 years LATER) into an Ibrahim/Ismail (Abraham/Ishmael)   
   story, which is also an attempt    
   to steal the right to the Temple Mount (long story.)  At any rate, as part of   
   this ongoing saga, there was a rather vivid art depiction of Abraham with his   
   knife raised over his son, bound upon a slab of karst, when I had this   
   micro-vision of being Isaac,   
    then it was gone.  THEN I realized it was a kind of "déjà vous" (and yes,   
   that's a deliberate translation.)   
      
   So what was this morning's dream about?  There was another segment (clarity 3   
   or 4, perhaps?) involving terrain, outdoors, perhaps karst-related?  Imagine a   
   section of ground being somewhat damp, as if spongy, capable of being   
   dissolved away from the    
   rock underneath if examined long enough.  That ground, and the difficulty in   
   crossing it (*before* it turned into "karst formation") was what the clip   
   involved.  Also, another clip involving a tree of some kind, but it's also now   
   evaporated.
