   Starting with the speedboat: the dreamer was zipping across water, much as a   
   ski-boat would zoom across a lake.  However, the dreamer was NOT "behind the   
   wheel" so much physically as it seemed more just like the *perspective* was   
   zipping along *as* a    
   speedboat.  The camera perspective was rather similar to that of a high-speed   
   drone camera, but closer to that of a person peering over the bow at the water   
   before the bow was being sped over.  (Maybe it was a HYDROFOIL?!?) What made   
   this dream *slightly*   
    disturbing was the presence of the heads of people IN the water.  The BODY   
   (astral vehicle, if you will) of the dreamer felt like that of a boat's hull,   
   only it wasn't a lengthy hull of 16' or so:  it felt more like the shape of a   
   human body, but was    
   slicing THROUGH the water just like that of a decent ski boat.  A head (in the   
   water) was struck, which gave the dreamer a twinge of "Ugh!"— kind of a mix   
   between, "Let's try to avoid doing THAT again!" although there was what felt   
   like a second head    
   struck almost directly after the first.  I'm unsure whether there was a third   
   head struck or not, but by this time the dreamer was thinking more along the   
   lines of a cross between "they were the ones who put themselves in the water"   
   and "steering/travel    
   needs to adjust to avoid hitting any more heads" so the dreamer "canted"   
   (tilted) 45° to the left (from straight up) so that if anymore heads (bodies?   
   humans?) were encountered, the BODY of the vehicle was to the right, giving   
   the dreamer's "head" /    
   camera perspective a good foot or more above the surface of the water.  In   
   other words, if any more heads were to occur in the path, by making sure they   
   were *beneath* the camera perspective, they would clear without being struck.    
   An *overall* clarity    
   of perhaps 8, but the speeding over water was closer to 9.   
      
   Now, I know this is a *BIG* stretch regarding interpretation, but it puts me   
   in mind of the issue I'm having with getting a book through a publishing house   
   so that it clears the "content evaluation" criteria.  The people at Author   
   House allowed *EVERY*    
   opinion regarding the deception of the Pope and every fallacy of the Catholic   
   Church and error regarding the theology of Luther (and the Lutheran Church) to   
   pass *without* comment!  But the MOMENT something was said about the religion   
   of Islam, *pow!*    
   the censors objected to "hate speech".  WHAT a LOAD of COWARDS and   
   HYPOCRITES?!?  Why does this relate to the perspective of a speeding  boat   
   through a lake / over water?  It seems to feel as if the progress of the book   
   itself was working its way through    
   obstacles (minds?) in the water.  So *either* the censorship at Author House   
   is going to have to recognize its own hypocrisy / come around to a correct way   
   of thinking / free itself of dhimmitude from Islam, OR a more "fit" publisher   
   will need to be    
   found.   
      
   Meanwhile, there was the dream of a BIG house under construction.  The dreamer   
   was going through the framework of the house, although the garage seemed to be   
   near completion.  But this "garage" was HUGE, as if the size of a medium-sized   
   warehouse.  It    
   even had "levels" to it, such that a kind of 2nd level began at 1 full floor   
   off the ground, with cupboards along the walls, presumably for storage, along   
   with a hall-like area that could have served as a work level, such that   
   anything on this level    
   would be contained in such a way as to keep the lower level clear of falling   
   (stray) objects.  The "garage" of this house was so impressive / memorable   
   that the *rest* of the details of the house simply fade from recall.  However,   
   it seemed more along    
   the lines of an estate along the size of what one sometimes sees in movies /   
   TV shows depicting a manor of the ultra-wealthy / über-rich.  Clarity 7 or 8,   
   as whatever this place was seemed like it was under construction.   
      
   A more down-to-Earth type dream involved a critter seeming much like a breed   
   of dog, similar to a Lhasa Apso or Shih Tzu, yet with a poodle-like coat.  (A   
   "Shih Tzudle?"  There seemed to be some mild consternation about a house-pet   
   being outside along a    
   city street, although the camera perspective seemed to be that of a human,   
   taking care that the critter was allowed *some* freedom to roam, yet kept safe   
   from accidental harm as much as possible.  Clarity 7, verging on 6 due to the   
   sense of chaos /    
   confusion / consternation regarding the critter's safety.   
      
   There was a dream *similar* to that of the Shih Tzoodle, only instead of a   
   dog-like critter, it was with respect to a white glob-like organism, something   
   that's hard to even qualify as a "critter."  It was more like a lab specimen   
   that was on the *verge*    
   of being declared sentient.  There was *concern* over the glob's well-being,   
   similar to that of the housewife that prefers to release spiders and flies   
   outside the kitchen window rather than swat them dead.
