   2019/08/22 Thursday:   
      
   Had a dream *based on* real life, I suspect:  IRL, there's a maple tree   
   sapling growing outside the kitchen window, straight up (due mostly to it   
   being in a shaded location) near a bent pole used to support a bird feeder,   
   kinda like a shepherd's crook    
   planted in the ground.  One day, as the tree top grew nearer to the same   
   height as the feeder pole, I coulda sworn it was visibly growing upward at   
   about the speed observed by watching the minute hand on an analog clock barely   
   move in a clockwise    
   direction.  Later in the day I checked, and sure enough, it was even with the   
   pole, and later that evening, it was barely above the pole.  IN THE DREAM, I   
   saw a vine visibly growing, fast enough to escape by walking, yet mesmerizing   
   in the speed of its    
   growth.  I watched this a few seconds (2? 3?) of dream time, in which it grew   
   at least a foot or more.   
      
   The next "dream" seems more like a very long action sequence, probably   
   triggered by watching the HBO series "Chernobyl" IRL, which was very   
   impactful.  The dream began in what seemed like a factory / loading dock type   
   area, mostly open but with workers    
   about and possibly a lunchroom scene.  The focus was on a tall, clear glass   
   bottle with clear, blue lettering, appearing Russian (like Stolichnaya) but I   
   didn't recognize the brand name.  I figured it was most likely vodka (but with   
   no sense of "Ooo! Bad    
   booze!"— more like it was a common drink for the thirsty.)   
      
   This segued into some type of scene involving a device *similar to* a cell   
   phone, more like a walkie / PTT (push to talk / half duplex communication)   
   such that when the device was found to be ON, it was realized someone   
   "untoward" *may have been* (more    
   likely, "was") listening at the other end, so plans just made could well have   
   been jeopardized.   
      
   This segued into a dream that seemed related to the current problem of wealthy   
   pedophiles linked to Royalty and Jeffrey Epstein, as there was a scene   
   involving a young teen female and an older nobleman with his own children.  He   
   (with a sense of "me")    
   avoided the situation (by avoiding the female) as if sensing implicit danger   
   in what might occur.  This scene was set in a type of village with a European   
   atmosphere, possibly Danish or Swedish, *maybe* British or Scottish / Welsh,   
   having a sense of    
   autumn gold to the trees surrounding the village street / tall, narrow   
   buildings, nothing sensed higher than 3 floors.   
      
   I keep saying "segued" because I don't recall there being any actual breaks   
   between these sections.  This next section involved what seemed like Batman's   
   sidekick, Robin, and the butler, Alfred, although it's *possible* Batman was   
   involved.  It's after 1    
   PM local, and I suspect this dream was well before 9:AM, so there's   
   evaporation involved.  It felt like the conversation over the walkie in the   
   previous section led to one character WITH Alfred traveling in some type of   
   non-linear motion, such as flying,    
   from ground level up to a tower level.  There was a section of walking through   
   the floor of a building *akin to* a skyscraper under construction, but more   
   like a *finished* floor but with framed skylights letting in the daylight.    
   That is, the ceiling    
   was all rectangular frames supporting rectangular glass:  the ceiling was   
   mostly light, and I took a direct look at it, as someone seemed to be   
   describing the construction of it to me, although I have no clear recollection   
   of what was said (clarity 7 max,   
    on the dialogue, 8 on the building / flight.)   
      
   This *ended* with Robin doing something like trying to get a vehicle up to   
   speed in order to go down a hill that ended with an upward slope, so as to get   
   the vehicle airborne, but the vehicle STALLED / STOPPED right before the bend   
   into the jump ramp.     
   The dream ended there as I was awakened for some external reason which I can't   
   recall.  I just remember the sense of "darn it!" frustration / failure /   
   acceptance at the vehicle being shy of its goal.
