|    2020/03/25 Wednesday: HRC?!? The Red Pum    |

      From: dicksilk@gmail.com              2020/03/25 Wednesday: HRC?!?!?              Well, this one was certainly unfathomable: I totally forgot about it until it       just *popped* back to mind after having browsed through a few morning posts on       Facebook: The Dreamer was working to act as a bridge between two groups:        someone (Mitch        McConnell? it felt like him, but the person was never actually "seen") was       being left-arm embraced while HRC was being guided by the dreamer's right arm,       as if the dreamer were hugging both people at the same time, but more like       congenially guiding them        to a middle ground, as it were. The background was basically all whitish,       without definition. The only dialogue or sentience of any kind was a genuine       sense of shock / surprise at discovering HRC under my right arm. The sense of       dialogue went        something like:       "Hillary Clinton?!?"       "I'm as surprised as you are!"       Followed by a sense of warmth that there *is* a way for both of these       "parties" to move forward together. After waking, I did find it a tad unusual       that the "Mitch" feeling was on the dreamer's left while HRC was on the       right. The only color of any        kind detected was that whomever was on the left seemed to be in a dark       business suit, while HRC was in her lady's blue two-piece / business suit.              Aside from that unusual (totally political?) clip, there were these three:              "House at the far end of the neighborhood"       "Unconditional doggy love"       "House across the street / gas pump slot machine?"              So the house at the far (north) end of the neighborhood seemed to be in an       area that doesn't actually exist as I know it, or perhaps is in an area where       a "new" neighborhood has been developed (I imagine the area further north of       Windsor as all woods /        scrag-land, but well into my adult years, someone plowed them out and built a       ritzy hood for the more-elite, upper-middle class.) All I can remember about       this dream seemed to deal with a business that had gone under, and as such,       lots and lots of stuff        was being liquidated / packed to be sold off / moved. The only dialogue that       I can possibly recover had to deal with establishing that someone was having       to pack up and move.              This other dream involved someone with a spray hose (similar to a fire hose)       that was putting out a *column* of water, perhaps 3"–4" in diameter, only it       was freezing cold outside, as in well below 0°F, so when a guy with       clipper-shorn, reddish hair        and his longer-but-also-red-haired dog were doused by the spraying jet, he had       to get somewhere to work on removing the ice on his legs. I gotta say, this       dream was a bit disoriented, but here goes: there was an image of the dog       chewing the ice of (his?       ) its own fur, but only for a split second, as the rest of the dog's action       seemed to be trying to gnaw the ice off the guy's legs. The guy must have       been having a bad moment, as he berated the dog. Then someone *like* an       omniscient narrator chided the        fellow for berating the dog. He even pointed out the dog had died while       trying to free the guy's leg from the ice whilst selflessly ignoring the dog's       own ice. Needless to say, there was a deep sense of sorrow from the guy at       having been so thoughtless.              The last dream seemed related to the other one where the house was being       packed up (allegedly due to the coronavirus DemPanic) but this one was more       localized, specifically, to the two houses across the street from my childhood       home on Scottland Drive.        The house *directly* across the street belongs to (Mister) Olan Bell, and the       house to the north of it used to belong to the Fergusons. But in this dream,       Fergie's house was apparently owned by someone more contemporary (the       Fergusons moved out DECADES        ago!) While I don't recall *exactly* how or where this dream began, it       eventually dealt with this red, box-like object, roughly 3' tall, and perhaps       2½'x2½' depth and width. The dreamer never got a really good look at it,       but it seemed to be a cross        between a Vegas-type slot machine and a gas pump, only the kind where it keeps       about 20–50 gallons inside its lower portion. I can recall there was also       at least one dog involved, but can't recall how it interacted with the main       plot. However, the        red object was at first left outside on the Bell's front curb, then was later       spotted across the street (on "my" side of the street) at the area between the       northern border of my property (it runs east-west) and the driveway of the       neighboring duplex on        the north side of the property line. In other words, it was kinda in "no       man's land" as one would have to really take a close look to determine on       whose side of the property line it sat. I (the dreamer) just figured it had       been abandoned / neglected in        some way, so the dreamer took it over to the Ferguson's house and asked the       person there if he could return it and get "Tony's" money back.              A little bit about this house: it appeared to be FULL of stuff one might find       in a pawn shop. The person with whom the dreamer was dealing seemed very       affable, which somewhat surprised the dreamer, expecting a "no refunds" kind       of attitude, but instead,        he fished up a clear, plastic wrapper (not unlike what one would get a large       Sunday paper delivered in) that was full of paperwork and cash. Some in large       bills, some small bills, some change, but clearly a bit of money. The amount       seemed to be about        somewhere between $14 and $18 *thousand* dollars. There was an exact amount,       but after thumbing through the cash, the dreamer felt that counting it would       be too time consuming as well as insulting to the proprietor, as this       *appeared* to be exactly what        "Tony" had given, possibly within the past 2 days. Interesting note here:        the name "Tony" was heard at least twice, maybe 3 times, even though the kid       across the street was named "TOMMY" Bell, and this discrepancy was definitely       noted (at least        mentally) by the dreamer, along with a slightly perplexed question as to why       the name issue? Regardless, the dreamer took the package of paperwork and       money, and walked out, only to encounter Mr. Bell (and Tommy?) directly       approaching, apparently about        to mouth off about the dreamer having sold back the red device. The dreamer       merely shoved the package of paperwork and cash into the Bells' hands and       walked away, satisfied the right thing had been done, and if the Bells wanted       to get their neglected        object back, that was their option. Dream ended.                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
