   Only dream that comes back to mind from last night has a somewhat obscure   
   "backstory" to it where "I" (the dreamer) had been working for some time,   
   doing *chores* / task work as assigned by (someone?) the job / a foreman /   
   others (unclear, other than I    
   always had various chores to accomplish "on the shop floor.")  The pivotal   
   point in the dream occurred when I was officially "in", and at that point, I   
   was allowed to simply go do whatever I wanted *on the shop floor,* whatever I   
   felt like doing!  This    
   was an odd feeling, being turned "loose" like this, and I started by (feeling   
   like I was) pushing a broom or shovel around to clear a path / an area.  I   
   recall seeing something like a white, home-built bicycle stand although it   
   wasn't quite as elegant as    
   the one my dad built (IRL) for us kids back in the 1960s.  I was pondering   
   what I would do with this new-found freedom when the dream ended.  The concept   
   behind this dream, however, is something of a socialist theme, "work makes   
   free," somewhat    
   notoriously infamous for being the phrase over Nazi prison camps, "ARBEIT   
   MACHT FREI"— that is to say, after reaching a certain point in life from   
   working, one becomes free to do whatever one wishes: a somewhat liberating   
   concept, but one that (I feel)    
   needs to be determined on an individual basis, rather than as a concept to be   
   forced upon others ("socialism.")  GO TRUMP, #KAG2020!
