   The main dream of recollection from last night began in a school-like   
   auditorium type setting, with a large, open ground area much like a basketball   
   court, yet with a second tier (such as at OHS.)  I (the dreamer) and perhaps a   
   few other folk were being    
   called to a meeting of some kind (thinking NOT sport-related) but I may have   
   been a tad late and was directed to the upper tier, which required cutting   
   diagonally across the court, out the doors into the hallway, around to the   
   stairwell, then up to the    
   2nd floor.   
      
   On the 2nd floor, the setting changed such that even though I was still on an   
   upper floor, but with no wall: there was no longer a gymnasium beneath me, but   
   rather a shoreline view of sorts, perhaps 40 feet or so below:  there was a   
   beach running    
   directly beneath me, from left-to-right, with the water coming in not so much   
   as a surf but stable, more like a lake.  I sat near the edge of this upper   
   floor with the shoreline beneath my dangling legs, with the wild & crazy idea   
   of possibly taking a    
   leap into the water below, but knowing that, even if I made it far enough off   
   my perch to avoid the shore and make it into the water, the chances of the   
   water being deep enough for me to survive were minimal, bordering upon   
   non-existent.   
      
   Just then, my dog, Ginger, comes running up from behind me, apparently after   
   having followed me up the stairwell, and charged straight for the edge.  I   
   extended my left leg outward, so as to give her a bit of an extended diving   
   board, and sure enough,    
   she ran along it and took a flying leap into the air, landing with a splash in   
   the water below!  I was curious at this point to know if she survived, along   
   with other thoughts like what was going through her mind?!? to make such a   
   leap / dive, only to    
   find she'd not only apparently survived, but also ran up the stairs and come   
   back around for a *second* leap!   
      
   At this point, I was thinking if I did not extend my leg, perhaps she'd apply   
   the brakes and stop beside me, but no, she ran straight for the ledge and took   
   a flying leap into the air a *second* time! as if this were the most fun she'd   
   had in quite a    
   while!   
      
   I figured that without my extended leg to act as a plank, she'd land a bit   
   closer to shore, if not on it, and I became concerned as to her well-being /   
   outcome.  I leaned forward and looked down, getting the impression she landed   
   *just barely* in the    
   water, such that her front legs may have contacted the ground beneath the   
   water line.  (I sensed her mid-to-rear section would have been supported by   
   the water, but the pressure / PSI of her front legs may have been enough to   
   impact after having gone    
   through the water.)  I didn't get an exact feel or impression of what happened   
   next, only that she had perhaps survived, and perhaps her front legs may have   
   become sore from the process, but I had the impression she survived.   
      
   Meanwhile, I found that my perch on the edge of this 2nd tier had become   
   questionable, at best.  It felt like I was sitting on a slight ramp, such that   
   my center of gravity felt as if it were such that I was in immediate danger of   
   slipping forward and    
   off the edge (which would have *certainly* resulted in a hard landing on the   
   shoreline below) but even worse, I felt that if I *tried* to wiggle my way   
   back somehow, such an action would have immediately resulted in my slipping   
   and falling *forward.*     
   The only choice I had was to call for "HELP! HELP!" (and maybe a third   
   "HELP!") which triggered someone (like a dark shadow of myself from behind)   
   running up behind me.  Somehow conveyed that I was in danger of falling over,   
   and so instructed him to grab    
   the fabric of my shirt behind my shoulder blades and simply PULL backward to   
   safety, which he (it?) did.     
      
   Here is where things got *really* weird:  the view switched to something more   
   like a 3rd person objective view, and I could see my own skin was tanned as if   
   patterned: there were rectangular sections much like diagonal grid stripes   
   running along my arms,    
   torso, and legs, possibly even my head, but I didn't get that close a look at   
   my head as the skin pattern had grabbed my attention.   
      
   The figure that had rescued me (so I assumed) was performing some type of   
   light, therapeutic massage, and pointed out that I was not in very good shape,   
   that my problems were being manifest as the pattern-images on my skin.    
   Something about my bone    
   structure being less than optimal, and the ball on my right femur, where it   
   joins the hip, was actually a darkened image, rating it a D- on the grading   
   scale of A to F, saying, "This is not good."  He/She/It touched the ball joint   
   image on my skin and I    
   could feel an energy there, perhaps not so much as positive or negative, but   
   certainly concerned, if an energy may be described as "concerned."  NOTE that   
   in real life, it's my LEFT leg that has an issue due to the brain damage in   
   the *right* section of    
   my brain.  When I awoke from this dream later, that point immediately popped   
   into mind.   
      
   Meanwhile, I became curious as to all the issues that were apparently visible   
   at this point.  I noticed this red meat-like mass at an area similar to my   
   left arm, and had the impression it represented my heart.  There's also the   
   impression that I somehow    
   touched it in curiosity, but that image/scene/action is a bit unclear.  Also   
   note that the only character in this dream that was *clearly* identified was   
   my dog, Ginger.  Neither "I" (the dreamer) nor the being that rescued me from   
   the ledge were    
   absolutely identifiable, although the entity that pulled me back from disaster   
   *may well* represent my "soulmate," yet in something of a very undefined state   
   as regards actual identity.  For instance, it *could* have been a version of   
   myself from a    
   different time frame, which is essentially what every soulmate actually is.
