   2019/12/23 Monday: The Whirligig   
      
   I had a *few* dreams last night, but the one most notable involved a sequence   
   of starting out as if on a trip such as to a wedding but with no change of   
   clothes packed whatsoever, starting out in just plain, ordinary clothes.    
   There was a section    
   involved in getting *to* a means of transportation, and super-pestered with   
   the idea that I should turn back to pack, before it's too late, yet continuing   
   on the journey anyways.  There is some section involving something akin to dry   
   dog food in a large    
   bowl, but even though it is visually in good condition, it's perceived more as   
   "spoils" or byproduct, even waste, of some other process.   
      
   There's a scene involving a nifty home with clean lines, bordering on cubicle   
   or box-like, earth tones (brown with light tan) which in some dream symbol   
   libraries represents a human, which would likely have been my teen-self, but   
   this part comes through    
   rather unclear, clarity 6 perhaps 7 at best, seeing as it's likely all   
   symbolism.   
      
   The fun part comes in at something like a big, open field, something like the   
   big, central tarmac at Smyrna Airbase, where there's a device that is   
   approximately the shape of a human in height / stature, except the top is   
   spinning like a multiple rotary    
   of a helicopter.  Think not of just 2 blades but of perhaps 8 blades ✻ (OK,   
   that symbol is only a big 6 bladed asterisk *, but it's close enough) with   
   LIGHT colors all similar to various shades of purple, pink, and blue.  If   
   there were any deeper    
   colors I wasn't able to pull them out.  Anyways, this whirligig device was   
   making short hops and circles, such that there were no long distance trips   
   observed.  I'm not sure if it could make any based on its fuel capacity (which   
   was unknown) but I recall    
   wondering how fun it would be if I could hitch a ride on it?   
      
   NOTE:  in real life, my head is almost always swirling these days, as if   
   vertigo or a very light maelstrom of some sort were going on inside.  Note   
   that this *started* in August of 2013 when a palette struck the back of my   
   head at work, causing either a    
   thrombosis or dissection (or possibly both) somewhere in the right vertebral   
   artery or nearby (the "PICA") which resulted in a "dead zone" or "stroke"   
   within a portion of my brain.  It's said the brain cannot feel pain, but it   
   sure can detect a dead spot!   
     At any rate, starting last July 4th of this year, I've been noticing that   
   sugary foods cause increased-to-severe dizziness / vertigo and binocular   
   diplopia (double vision) so I've been having to go as sugar-free as possible   
   (a cookie CRUMB will cause    
   unpleasantness) that is *unrelated* to diabetes (I've been monitoring the   
   sugar level in my blood, and it's always fine.) If I have a cookie before   
   bedtime, it still causes unpleasantness in the morning.  Going sugar free   
   (based on package labels) helps    
   considerably, but even a sauce with only a gram or two will last nearly all   
   day.  It's reached a point where I'm rarely NOT feeling the vertigo, so I'm   
   wondering if that whirligig is supposed to represent *me*?  Seems logical, at   
   any rate.)
