   2019/09/23 Monday:   
      
   Gobs of dreams, but gonna start with 3 animal-related ones:  these were   
   neither consecutive, continuous nor contiguous, but I wanted to pull them out   
   (and also use those 3 C words for fun!) :-)   
      
   Guinea-pig-rat-like experiment:  There was a very open room with a set up in   
   the middle, such that it fairly well divided the room into two rectangular   
   areas, with a kind of table in the center, and along the table top, a kind of   
   "safety cage area" where    
   the critter could be taken out of the left opening on the left, but if it went   
   into the central corridor, it could not be retrieved manually / by hands   
   alone.  I found myself having to go to the other side in order to retrieve it   
   from the cage-corridor,    
   and after having done so, it kept trying to walk / scamper out of my left hand   
   in order to get to freedom, so I placed my right hand in front and gave it   
   support, then as it scampered over the right, I put my left out in front, and   
   eventually it relaxed    
   so I could carry it calmly, without it trying to make a run to escape.   
      
   Other dream was a bit more— bizarre / futuristic perhaps:   
      
   The dreamer ("I") came into a room where there was a table, and upon the table   
   were perhaps 2 or 3 critters, of the size and nature of small pets, possibly   
   dog  cat / rabbit in nature.   
      
   One of the critters had its 4 legs / appendages set beside it on the table, so   
   I picked up the 4 pieces and put them back into place where they seemingly   
   belonged.  The animal became animated and (I think) hopped away (I'm thinking   
   this one was *like* a    
   rabbit.)  A moment later, and the dreamer has picked up another critter, and   
   removed / unplugged its 4 legs / appendages and placed them beside the torso   
   down upon the table.  The thought that this was more of a futuristic scene   
   where pets had become    
   roboticized seems more a distinct possibility, as there's no way I'd go around   
   pulling legs off of animals.   
      
   The third dream was set outdoors, and definitely more of the nature of animals   
   kind of dream.  There was a fluffy, medium-large white, curly haired dog,   
   somewhat like a sheepdog but not quite a sheepdog: smaller, fluffier.  There   
   was also a smaller,    
   brown and white spaniel-type dog, probably female, and a batch of puppies that   
   were obviously the litter of the larger, fluffier male and the smaller,   
   smoother, brown-eared spaniel bitch (although the hair on her ears was   
   noticeably curvy.)  The smaller    
   spaniel had dug a small pit / nest in the dirt at the foundation of the house   
   across the street, but the pups were all with the larger dog, in a kind of   
   nest on this side of the street.  I'm thinking the smaller gal was making a   
   nest more to her size for    
   nursing the pups, although there seemed to be a kind of paternal desire of the   
   larger dog to raise them.  Still, I can see how the nursing of the pups would   
   take priority up to a point.   
      
   =====   
      
   This one dream involved my son, Charles, where he seemed disinclined to do   
   something together with me.  Details have evaporated.   
      
   Another dream involving a view as if out of a front window, seeing perhaps a   
   narrow stream or road in front, then on the other side, a slightly wider   
   gravel road that bore the sense of leading into a graveyard.   
      
   One of if not the first dream of the evening involved a golem-like creature   
   where skin was being applied in the form of mud then rubbed into place, while   
   some areas of the body seemed to have had the mud-skin rubbed away, revealing   
   a muscle (mostly bone)    
   structure beneath.  There was also an element of liquid mercury involved, but   
   can't exactly say why, only the sense that leaving this scenario had a high   
   priority, that it was rather urgent to leave.   
      
   Another dream has the dreamer ("me") viewing a garage-like setting, with   
   police patrol and plain (unmarked) detective vehicles as if in a garage or   
   staging area, either new coming in, or perhaps preparing to depart, but   
   regardless, I spotted this one guy    
   (blondish) appearing to key the rear trunk, but not to unlock it, rather to   
   scratch the paint.  Don't know why, but this ticked the dreamer off enough to   
   place him in a neck hold from behind and place him under citizen's arrest.  As   
   the guy who was doing    
   the keying was supposed to be an officer of the law, and as this was taking   
   place within a group of law officers, I felt the only choice I had was to   
   place him under citizen's arrest and turn him over to the desk folk right   
   there and make my case against    
   him.  The drama of the scene seemed to hinge upon whether or not I was   
   actually going to go through with formally filing the charge against the guy.    
   It actually felt almost like an electric current, it was such a    
   ecision-making point.  I could FEEL the    
   sense of hopelessness and despair and dread and foreboding in the guy who'd   
   been caught.  The start of two capital letters (K and perhaps an E) were   
   visible at the center rear of the trunk (it had an actual trunk lid, not a   
   hatch back like an SUV or such)   
    and the dreamer (I) decided to turn it over to his co-workers standing   
   there.  It really didn't matter THAT much to me, but if they were to allow   
   this to go on internally, then what were they allowing to go on externally, in   
   public?  I mentioned the    
   only thing that can really make or break this standoff, short of a confession,   
   would be if they had any internal camera video to corroborate my charge   
   against him.   
      
   At this point, the guy's fear was pretty much at its worst, and (if I recall   
   this dream correctly) so the dreamer explained to the suspect / cop /   
   detective that the entire point of the exercise was to let him understand the   
   full weight of what it means    
   to be an officer of the law and to abide within it.  The funny part of all   
   this seemed to involve my having obtained at some point *and returned to him*   
   a credit card.  There was some type of transaction going on where I needed to   
   conclude it with a    
   payment of $90, and realizing I don't have any money of my own, but that the   
   officer who was just being grilled had a credit card that could cover it.  Now   
   comes the awkward moment where he's being asked to do ME (the dreamer) a   
   favor, and he starts to    
   balk.  The dreamer says he'll pay back the loaner $110.oo as interest, but the   
   blond cop says that's not the right amount of interest ($90 borrowed, $110   
   paid back) but then there's a chart *right there* and it's referenced, so he   
   agrees and allows his    
   card to be used for the transaction.  So weird.
