   2020/04/20 Monday (afternoon):   
      
   I had a few dreams this morning, notably, involving working at Automotive   
   Service, but that dream has basically evaporated along with much of the   
   others, the only thing that's survived evaporation is the one of the kids on   
   scooters with dogs in the    
   street.  What was so memorable about *that* dream was the last scene, which   
   was dogs on scooters in the street :)  These were the two-wheel type scooters   
   with a tall front steering bar and T-handle.  One dog of note was reddish of   
   hair color, somewhat    
   shaggy of coat, and rather lean, much like an Afghan Hound with a spaniel look.   
      
   Meanwhile, I really wasn't feeling well last night.  I'd been drinking coffee   
   again and had *forgotten* (or ignored?) the process of lacing the grounds with   
   baking soda before brewing.  ALL OF A SUDDEN last night, getting up off the   
   couch to let the dog    
   out, BOTH kidneys just *suddenly* complained!  They felt like thin, sharp   
   knives sticking into my, well, my kidneys, so the next thing I did was mix up   
   a small glass of water that was heavy-laden with baking soda.  NOTE:  I   
   *shoulda* made it a TALL glass    
   of water with just a tiny bit LESS baking soda, but I wanted to rescue my   
   kidneys ASAP.  Well, about an hour later, sure enough, the pain was subsiding,   
   BUT I started to experience serious vertigo, which led to dry heaves the likes   
   of which are normally    
   experienced as the after-effect of a major night of drinking (like a   
   hangover.)  Needless to say, I didn't feel well.  I tried a bit more water and   
   made it to bed.  This afternoon, I was again not feeling too well, and took a   
   nap to knock out most of the    
   afternoon.  However, there were some afternoon nap dreams that I'd like to   
   mention.   
      
   As I was drifting into la-la-land, one of the things running through my mind   
   was the way to side-arm pitch a baseball, but I didn't do much of that as a   
   child, however, I *did* play Junior Pro Basketball (for several years!) and   
   part of that learning /    
   practice involved learning how to do the "bounce pass."  I started to   
   "mentally" make one of these and the moment I pushed the ball forward,   
   *FWOOMP!* it felt as if a rope had been yanked *right out* of me!  Strange.   
      
   At any rate, an actual *dream* involved Larry Duke over at the dreamer's   
   location, having something to do with a car, Larry's car, it seemed like.    
   There was some element involving a bag of well over 100 pennies and some   
   miscellaneous loose change.  The    
   dream ended with the dreamer heading in to sort and bag them up.  The thought   
   was they were going to be given to Larry, but there was some question in the   
   dreamer's mind as to whether or not that would actually occur.  There was also   
   an element of a    
   water bottle, half-consumed, on a kind of ledge / shelf sticking out on the   
   front right (passenger) door window.  There was also some kind of action going   
   on as if certain objects were being straightened out, like "this goes in your   
   car, this goes with    
   me."
