   *Kinda* like "The Time Tunnel" but not exactly....   
      
   So here's something I've been meaning to post but ignoring until now.  A few   
   days ago I was reaching the point of publishing my first book.  It was   
   actually the night before, I believe, either sometime Thursday or Friday, and   
   I can't exactly recall the    
   time this occurred, but it wasn't a deep sleep type, REM type dream.  It was   
   more like a half-sentient vision.  I was aware of lying in bed under the   
   covers, certainly not "asleep" in the sense one is not aware of being in one's   
   own bed, but as I was    
   aware, this would qualify more as a vision.  I saw something I'd never seen   
   (or remember having seen) before:  a number of concentric circles, perfectly   
   consecutive (no gaps to speak of) having the kind of color one typically sees   
   when one's eyes are    
   shut and there's a light on.  OK, it had a bit of salmon/flesh tone to it.    
   The circles were noticeable as being a center dot surrounded by another circle   
   (lighter or darker, didn't really matter) surrounded by another circle (again,   
   lighter or darker,    
   doesn't matter) surrounded by another circle (etc.) as there were easily a   
   dozen to perhaps 20 of these concentric rings, very much like looking at the   
   perfect cross section of the perfect tree, as tree rings, only they were   
   vibrant circles, not still /    
   static, practically pulsating.  I had the sense that they were caused due to a   
   zero-stress environment of some kind, then the circles sorta "went away" /   
   dissolved / evaporated / were no longer seen, and I kinda felt sad that what   
   I'd been viewing was no    
   longer there, then I saw the circles again, as if someone had turned the   
   switch back on.  They didn't last quite as long this time, then the vision   
   went away before I could really ascertain anything about it.  Although I have   
   a few possible ideas as to    
   what they represent, I really can't say because I was puzzled by them rather   
   than informed.
