   While there were a number of activity-based dreams that have evaporated, the   
   one dream prior to waking involved a familiar theme in a not-too-familiar   
   place:  I (the dreamer) was searching for a men's room in order to take a   
   leak, but the room I saw    
   right offhand was for ladies, so I had to go hunting elsewhere.  The floor I   
   was on seemed similar to a business more like a corporation or some larger   
   organization (it was definitely bigger than a simple shop or store.)  My   
   "journey" (of seeking for a    
   men's room) took me to a floor below, but nothing was found there, and someone   
   mentioned the floor below that one, which led me to a door with a sign that   
   clearly read "MENS" (so perhaps it should've read "MEN"?  Still, I had the   
   impression it used 4    
   letters.)  When I went in, it was about the size of a broom closet or HVAC   
   area where a somewhat bulky air vent cut diagonally upwards.  I saw the toilet   
   ahead in a tiny corner, but took time instead to look around at the room.  It   
   was physically *   
   cramped*!  I felt as if I was squeezing my way around inside the walls that   
   led in from the door, and (while facing the door) that diagonal duct ran from   
   in front of me upwards to my left.  There was something akin to a shelf area   
   in the right corner (   
   near the door) but the walls and shelf and what have you all seemed—   
   contaminated— with a liquid goop.  I was thinking how badly this place   
   needed cleaned, sanitized, as the dream ended.  I awoke feeling disturbed at   
   having been in there.  The goop    
   on the surfaces could well have been semen, but at any rate, there was no   
   telling how long that room had gone without cleaning.  In looking back, the   
   only thing I can think of that would do a decent job of cleaning the walls   
   would be a power wash /    
   sprayer blade.  There also seemed to be a dirty look as well, like the greasy   
   oily dirty look one sometimes spots around a car repair garage.   
      
   What happened next was a bit more notable:  I spent a little time this morning   
   working on a crossword puzzle then returned to the kitchen, still   
   contemplating my breakfast choice, when I spotted an item or two that needed   
   addressing online.  I'd finished    
   a few items as I noticed the right side of my face feeling "tingly," something   
   I've noticed as a precursor to having an ischemic attack.  Sure enough, a   
   moment or two later, WHOOSH!  Vertigo hit me full on as I managed to stagger   
   back to my bed.  As I    
   lay down, I had that now too familiar dry heave trying to empty my stomach,   
   but fortunately, I'd not had anything to eat yet, so I got my bedside waste   
   bucket in place in case of emergency and laid down.   
      
   Eventually, I fell back asleep and ended up having a dream about what seemed   
   like either a bachelorette party or a ladies' night out.  But before I dip   
   into that one, I'm having a memory of some evaporated dream from earlier, but   
   I can't quite place the    
   time it occurred, possibly last night, or the night before?  What does it   
   matter?  The dream involved traveling via automobile, and some issue regarding   
   keys, but what it was about or any other details I'm really really fuzzy on,   
   around clarity 2 (max)    
   by this time, although it was at least a 4 (possibly better) during the dream   
   itself.  So as to the "party"....   
      
   There was a two-story, glass wall at the "rear" of the room.  Lots of girls   
   were pressed up near the glass trying to get a better view, but not "crushing"   
   like at a rock concert, but they *definitely* were trying to get a better   
   view.  INSIDE this room    
   into which they were looking was something akin to a bridal shower or such, as   
   the girls inside seemed "privileged" as if they'd been invited, while the gals   
   looking through the glass may not have been invited to the party, but paid to   
   watch the goings-   
   on.  The party itself seemed to be a male-stripper type show, but I wasn't   
   even remotely interested.  What caught my (the dreamer's) attention was the   
   chatter coming from the room with the gals behind the glass.  It was as if the   
   glass had a window    
   component whereby a gal inside was trying to get the attention of someone   
   (another gal? possibly the dreamer?) inside the main room.  There also   
   appeared to be a gal in the lower room and the chatter *could* have been   
   between the gal in the upper room    
   and the one in the lower room.  Maybe clarity 7.  I didn't recall what was   
   said or even the purpose for being there in the first place.  It COULD have   
   just been a ladies' night out rather than a bridal show, or possibly *both*   
   (with the shower inside the    
   main room and the night out gals behind the glass.)  Come to think of it, this   
   would make a GREAT model for a future business, where the invitees are treated   
   to a free show while the night out gals pay admission to watch.
