   2019/09/26 Thursday: I had a number of dreams, but will try to focus on this   
   one before I totally forget:   
      
   IN real life (IRL) I had an acquaintance in high school whom I'll simply refer   
   to here by his initials, DJR, because he's currently in jail (35-40 years   
   later) for sex-related crimes involving at least one minor (possibly something   
   to do with kiddie porn)   
    but back then (in high school) he was mostly into politics and war games.    
   Also, back around 1992, IRL, he hooked up with a younger bit of (sorry to say   
   this, but) "trailer trash" from Kentucky, had a baby girl, and took up smoking   
   AND theft (but I    
   never pressed charges because I discovered it a few weeks later and really had   
   zero evidence.  Besides, if he had to resort to theft to provide for his baby   
   girl, then so be it.)   
      
   Meanwhile, in this dream, I find myself in a rather large area, fairly white   
   background luminescence, perhaps 30' deep by 15' wide, although I wasn't   
   actually paying attention.  In this room there's a computer flat-screen that   
   verges upon the size of a    
   large flat-screen TV, with something on it akin to Star Wars ships similar to   
   the Empire's TIE fighters in Star Wars (denofgeek.com/us/movies/   
   tar-wars/251968/star-wars-best-spaceships) with the underlying concept that it   
   represented a video combat space    
   game of some sort.   
      
   So in this dream, there's a bit of dialogue, running something like this, me   
   speaking first:   
      
   "So here we are again, smoking and finding ourselves in a pile of ashes"   
   (there was cigarette ash all OVER the place.)  DJR had some sort of   
   demonstration he was trying to pull, with one sheet of paper, upright, about   
   8" or so in front of another sheet    
   of paper, also upright, with the idea that somehow an air column could be   
   drawn from behind the first (rear) sheet, through the 2nd (forward) sheet, and   
   through a cigarette in front of it.  I seem to have had a cigarette in my hand   
   as well, but wasn't    
   much thrilled or drawn to the idea of smoking it (I've broken the smoking   
   habit now, twice, and will never pick one up again.)  There also seemed to be   
   a very tiny, twisted joint involved, not much more than perhaps an inch in   
   length, and about the    
   diameter of 1/8th"— I mean, "pin joint" doesn't even begin to describe this   
   thing.  What it's purpose was in the dream I can't figure out, as I don't   
   recall either of us smoking it in the dream.   
      
   He made some type of comment regarding the display on the screen, that I could   
   have it if I wanted it, but it needed to be uninstalled first in order to be   
   shared.  I know from experience that this is NOT a good way AT ALL to share a   
   game.  Sharing works    
   *best* if one has an installation CD or zip file.   
      
   The dream seemed to end with my dubious attitude at attempting to uninstall   
   his game.  It really didn't appeal to me that much, as it mostly represented a   
   time distraction.   
      
   There was one other item at the end of the dream that caught my attention, and   
   this one has me rather puzzled:  There was a small fish-prawn, about the size   
   of a very large minnow, but with legs on its underside like shrimp / prawns.    
   Not only was there    
   one of these, but two of them, and I couldn't understand (AT ALL) what they   
   were about within the dream:  one seemed semi-real, and one seemed more like a   
   "thought form" (or cartoon version) of the "real" version.  The dream actually   
   ended on this note,    
   although how this dream had two endings, I can't exactly explain, unless there   
   was some type of overlap in a time stream.   
      
   There was some other dream (earlier) involving a pet dog or such, and I   
   honestly can't recall any of it, other than having something to do with the   
   animal's loyalty.
