   2019/12/25 Merry Christmas! —NCIS plot dream!   
      
   OK, so this *extended* dream ran like the plot of an NCIS plot (with Leroy   
   Jethro Gibbs.)  And yes, this WAS a dream, NOT something I "just made up."    
   It's 4:32 AM and I'm writing it directly after dreaming so as to capture as   
   much of it as possible:  (   
   NOTE: editing started at 11:11 AM)   
      
   This began as a remote disturbance going on "down the road a bit" (further   
   north, heading away from town center)  Setting: Old Lascassas Road, only back   
   when it was (debatably) slightly more rural than it is today.  It was   
   definitely very dark (as in    
   night time, an absence of street lights compared to real life) with a hint of   
   atmospheric lightning, possibly a storm brewing in the distance.   
      
   I (the dreamer) could hear police chatter as if on a radio or possibly a   
   monitor of some kind of disturbance further up the road (north) about a mile   
   or two.  This disturbance seems to be the focal point of the narrative /   
   storyline / dream.   
      
   There were kids practicing war games on a small, indoor-mountain with points   
   drawn in marker to help evaluate path, drawn in concentric circles (like a   
   topographic map, or circular, winding mountain road) to help establish a path   
   / attack plan.  This    
   whole group of kids were being asked to help out because they were all that   
   was available at the time, informed how much this was a life-or-death   
   scenario.  Granted, in real life, LJB would never have involved kids to   
   actively hunt a killer in a live    
   setting, but they were present in this dream; I'm just reporting what I dreamt.   
      
   The objective is a manhunt of a killer on the loose: a killer with advanced   
   skill levels of combat and hunting as well as evading being hunted.  There was   
   the definite sense that he would be hunting *you* as you were hunting *him.*   
      
   Inside a large, dark hall of a large, darkened building, LJG finds himself   
   seeing an unfocused, *diffused* light originating from behind his head as if   
   from an angle of 1:30 or 2 o'clock above (and behind) him, appearing on the   
   ground below and in front    
   of him at around the 5 to 7 o'clock positions below and in front, on the   
   ground (angles are approximate.)  He senses this is a sniper's laser beam,   
   aiming from behind him (only it has the appearance of more of an incandescent,   
   focused light, roughly the    
   side of a penny or nickle in diameter) and makes a sudden lurch to the right   
   (as the light's spot went left) to avoid being killed (sensing the light was   
   about to return right-to-center to blow the back of his head off!)   
      
   A scramble / chase ends up with the dreamer (LJG?) spotting movement   
   underneath a door, prompting him to quickly find a weapon in the room he's in,   
   like a dorm-level apartment of sorts, but with walls formed of stacks of books   
   and flat boards as    
   makeshift shelves, and one or two trunks with stuff (including books) piled on   
   top of them.  I sense there are weapons of some sort inside but they're too   
   stacked over to get to in a hurry, so he ends up with a single stick of   
   dynamite with a barely    
   noticeable 1" fuse.   
      
   The killer somehow gets the drop on LJG, where he explains there was a body he   
   had to search (this is actually perceived in the dream as flashback) which was   
   apparently a shoplifter, who had a coat with (15? 15"?) inner-lining pockets   
   (of depth, like one    
   could drop in a batch of yardsticks or other items) which took the killer a   
   while to search, whereupon he found a single, loaded gun (seemed like a   
   revolver) which just happened to belong to LJG, so Leroy was in the dilemma of   
   having to explain (should    
   he survive this) how that gun became stolen in the first place, and how it had   
   ended up with the killer, and if events turned ultimately bad, how it is he   
   got shot with his own gun (as ballistics would reveal.)  Somehow the hunt   
   resumes, and kids are    
   swarming up the indoor-hill using scaffolding-like structures along the larger   
   room's walls.   
      
   Two cowardly types spot each other at the bottom after all the gung-ho kids   
   have already ascended.  As the others have JUST taken off, it's more like cold   
   feet, but one figures he's gonna be the braver of the two, and encourages the   
   other with a saying    
   he'd just picked up earlier, like "Man up or be a bride" or something very   
   similar to such a saying, along the lines of be a man up or have a baby.    
   Either way, it got them both moving up the scaffolding in search of the killer.   
      
   There's some kind of background radio or TV report (unseen audio) on an   
   approaching hurricane (there's never a hurricane in TN as we're so far north   
   of the Gulf Coast, so this had a kind of Eastern, Florida, or Gulf coast   
   flavor to it all of a sudden)    
   but the weather doesn't seem to be much of a problem at the moment, as LJG and   
   the killer are still in some kind of hunting the hunter scenario.   
      
   There's a scene where the killer appears to be a kind of mentally deranged   
   female with an appearance much like a younger Jody Foster (late teens to mid   
   20s?) who seems a bit preoccupied with painting the ceiling of this one LARGE   
   room with spray paint,    
   and she's heard talking about how cool it is to paint this place, which seems   
   to be some kind of military base building.  I didn't see her actually applying   
   the paint, but merely caught a view of her *from* a hallway view, looking in,   
   yet the idea of her    
   spray painting the ceiling was conveyed.  I had the sense of the colors white   
   and green, but again, they weren't exactly seen from where I was.  I had the   
   *impression* she was spray painting green over the white walls / ceiling.  The   
   camera perspective    
   passes by her in a hallway as if in evasive mode, as there's no weapon with   
   which to arrest her (avoidance in this scene seems preferable, logical,   
   reasonable to confrontation.)   
      
   At some point, it is realized that she's not alone:  there's another (3rd)   
   killer involved, a guy, and he's making a kind of advance with a feeling   
   similar to an impending checkmate.  The dreamer waits behind a door for the   
   killer to come close, then as    
   the door opens, the dreamer makes a forward leap to physically strangle the   
   killer, because it's kill-or-be-killed at this point.  The killer appears to   
   be a hideously decayed yet animated body.  The face is half gone, more skull   
   than flesh, and there's    
   some kind of jocular chat during this struggle, about the appearance of the   
   one being strangled, as if he (or a narrator) is making fun of his own   
   appearance.
