   Due to binge watching season 8 of Game of Thrones, there've been a few   
   sleeping pattern disruptions, like falling asleep on the couch around 12:30 AM   
   until around 2 AM, then watching until 6 AM, and falling asleep again until 10   
   AM (all times *extremely*    
   approximate.)  At any rate, this post is about what happened between 6 AM and   
   waking:   
      
   GoT had a phrase that caught my attention, and I tried to meditate some on   
   it:  "Love is more powerful than reason."  That requires a bit of   
   contemplation:  When love is more powerful than reason, something seemingly   
   illogical may occur, from insanity to    
   miracles.  Yet when reason is more powerful than love, something seemingly   
   devoid of emotion may occur, such as the slaughter of the innocents   
   ( wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_of_the_Innocents ).   
      
   Another thing I'd watched before falling asleep last night involved the series   
   "Chernobyl" (which is FASCINATING in its realism!) which brought to mind the   
   atomic pile of rubble at the power plant, which will remain radioactive /   
   lethal for around 24,000    
   years.  When I started contemplating this, I saw a churning image, not unlike   
   the pattern of smoke or fog (a swirling vortex) around a wingtip of a bird or   
   plane.   
      
   Meanwhile, a dream with an astral-type feel came around later:  I was outside   
   in a large yard or field near a home, looking up at the sky, and seeing a   
   dragon-like image in the air.  Although it was dragon-shaped, I immediately   
   labeled it as an ultra-   
   light aircraft in my mind, and it flew nearer where I was standing.  I even   
   attempted a shout, "Yo!" toward the pilot, who also shouted back a type of   
   "Yo!" in reply, along with something else, but the distance made the message a   
   bit difficult to hear,    
   let alone understand.  I made a motion for him to land, and here it gets a bit   
   fuzzy in recall:  EITHER he a) did a touch and go landing where he touched   
   down then lifted right off again, or b) he didn't.  I know, it's funny that I   
   can't recall if this    
   actually occurred or not.  I do, however, recall his waving back as if waving   
   off a landing.   
      
   There were a few other, less visual / possibly less important, short clips,   
   but they don't come to mind and I'm DRAGGING from lack of sleep / wanting   
   another nap, so goodbye for now.
