      From: dicksilk@gmail.com              2020/03/06 Saturday:              OK, so I *missed* the regular date switch at 05, 10, 15, etc. (I posed for       March 5th under March 3rd) but I suppose that's just one more thing I can       attribute to "brain damage."              I fell asleep AGAIN on the couch, had a few very low-level dreams (clarity 0,       in that I can only recall that I had some, but absolutely nothing as to the       content they contained) but got up around 3:30 AM to make it to bed. Got up       around 11: something        this morning, after having fallen asleep via a new meditation on "I AM" and       how that works as a FORMULA for self-definition *as well as* destination (such       as "I AM Gina Leigh White Silk's Husband," which can ONLY be ONE person in       this universe!) which        caused a number of low-retention dreams. They were fairly clear scenarios       although recalling the details is difficult due to evaporation. There was one       that *seemed* to have a great deal to do with a vehicle in motion that       resulted in my (the "dreamer")        ending up at some kind of place similar to a school but more with the feel of       an online community (likely either Facebook or Quora) being represented in       dream form as a school-like building. I can recall elements of cleaning out a       coat pocket, which        had the distinct sense of dumping lots of "stuff" not unlike pocket lint, but       more with the sense that it was all left-over "shake" (the best part of the       bottom of a baggie of marijuana.) I recall thinking that some folk (such as       dope users) would be        cringing over this dumping of (drug) material, but to me it was nothing more       than burnable dirt that I had no interest in (other than possibly a passing       sense of nostalgia.) There was something else going on *inside* the building,       but all I can barely        recall had to do with a sense of a key, such as a door key.              At any rate, the far clearer, more memorable dream (clarity 7 or 8?) involved       the area of Old Lascassas Road that has been (in real life) torn down of old       houses (they were much like rural homes with long but not too wide back yards)       that has had modern        apartment buildings put up in their place. I recall one entire summer where       there was nothing but the sound of pile drivers ramming their way through the       limestone in order to put in some kind of foundations.              At any rate, two houses in particular belonged (or possibly were rented by)       the families of a friend / acquaintance (Benny Lee) and his cousin, Cindy       Hollimon, next door. I was *dumbfounded* (in real life) to discover that this       angel, Cindy, was        actually Benny's *cousin!* OK, well maybe that was a private little joke       being pulled on me that I was never wise to or exceptionally gullible, but       that's the past. Suffice it to say, she was very much like the *template*       from which Gina seemed        patterned after. If you put Cindy and Gina side-by-side, you'd be far more       likely to think THEY were cousins than Cindy and Benny. But to get to the       dream:              I dreamt I (the dreamer) was passing along a section of Old Lascassas Road,       where there was a strange sort of building that was facing north, rather than       east, as Benny's and Cindy's homes did. The building had a white exterior,       with a small, glass        front entrance, about the size of a screened in front porch, only it used       glass rather than mesh screen.              Inside there, I found at least one, possibly two people who "felt older" (like       they were my elders) but who (today) would look "younger" by comparison (I've       got 58½ years on this frame IRL.) I was of the impression they might have       been Benny's or Cindy'       s parents. I began the dialogue as that of someone ignorant of the exact       setting, but with some knowledge of what had been before:              "Didn't this used to be the home of Cynthia Jayne Hollimon's folks?"              TBPH, I can't recall what (his?) exact response was, but it had something to       do with her having some kind of criminal record, which was *surprising* to me       at the least! Granted, in real life, my former domestic partner, Joyce Ann       Thomson, has an *       extensive* criminal record, but she didn't even occur to me at that point in       the dream. Cindy reminds me of clover honey and sunshine by day, and the       twinkle of moonlight in her eyes at night :)              So that dream ended, and now that my fingers are warmed up for the day, I'm       gonna go take a quick look through the county records to see if any such       records on Cindy actually exist (I strongly doubt it. I *suspect* the dream       was some kind of        conglomeration of the timeline of my own life, and the crimes of JAT were       simply messed up with the memories of Cindy.)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
