   WELL?  Apparently, I must've royally screwed something up when I posted   
   earlier:   
   > 2019/08/11 Tuesday: Final Dream? (Apocalyptic)   
   because TODAY it is 2019/08/14 Wednesday: (date triple-checked!)   
      
   Last night, I began a round of meditation that started on the concept of   
   "thinking big" as opposed to smaller potatoes, starting in with two of the   
   biggest things I possibly could, the Universe and God, which of course brought   
   up other concepts like    
   known and unknown, natural and supernatural, past, future, and present, etc.,   
   but eventually I found myself in a type of dream / vision, looking directly   
   into the face of a smaller animal, primate, Hominid, possibly of the homo   
   species, but due to its    
   small size and being covered with hair, just HOW FAR BACK this vision extended   
   is (for now) unknowable.  Whether or not it was actually in "this universe" is   
   equally unknowable.  All I can say is the eyes were as two shining points of   
   light, and all I    
   could sense was a kind of awe / admiration for whatever or whomever it was I   
   was looking at.   
      
   Meanwhile, a dream before waking involved a large group of people, mostly men,   
   apparently in various types of uniforms (fire, police, rescue) from all over   
   the USA (although they were all in uniforms, there was no apparent uniformity   
   to the uniforms    
   themselves, other than they all seemed to be front button type shirts with   
   collars.  Whether some were wearing the badge-shaped hats or not I don't   
   remember at this point (some details have evaporated, although the dream was   
   rather clear when it occurred.   
   )  The men seemed to be gathering along bleachers, the kind that are higher   
   about 4 or maybe 5 (?) rows back, closer to ground level in the front.  I   
   entered the front of the room, facing them, and they all snapped to attention,   
   after which I merely said,   
    "At ease."  They relaxed and began muttering around the room again, at which   
   I somehow signaled them *back* to attention, then at ease again, and this time   
   proceeded to tell them how I'd prefer to keep this cordial but orderly, not   
   exactly as they would    
   be in a life-critical setting, such as in their normal jobs.  Dream ended.  Of   
   note at the time was the fluent / fluid dialogue.  If I'd managed to write   
   this down immediately after waking up, there'd be a lot more content to report.
