   2020/05/18 Monday: (Signs of normalcy returning to world): Scorpion Skeletons?   
      
   The observation was made that the yellow police tape is coming down from the   
   playground equipment at the school today.  (Very nice!) So we can expect   
   *some* return to normalcy in the coming days / weeks / future / etc.   
      
   Meanwhile, last night / this morning, I had 3 primary dreams, some of which   
   has evaporated, but at any rate:   
      
   The scorpion skeletons:  Most biologists / arthropodologists will tell you, a   
   scorpion has an "exoskeleton" (kind of like an outer crust) rather than an   
   endoskeleton (like a human) however, in this dream, there were a number of   
   scorpion skeletons that    
   were shaped as if they were human skeletons with ribs (go figure?) and had   
   long, skinny tails much like a centipede, yet capable of curling (most were   
   seen as curled) such that it could still deliver a poisoned sting from the tip   
   of its (skeletal)    
   stinger, and as such, needed to be treated carefully.  Of course, the main   
   objective was to simply keep hands off, so as to avoid touching them, but   
   there was at least one that was wrapped up as if in a dowel (like the core of   
   a roll of toilet paper) and    
   the dowel was a bit round with a smaller dowel section at the top, as if to   
   protect its stinger.  Imagine a round pot (used for cooking) turned upside   
   down, forming a cylinder that is about as wide as it is tall.  Then put a   
   stove-pipe on top of it, to    
   give the skeletal tail greater room above its body, yet it's like a *smaller*   
   cylinder (pot).  Now, just on the *chance* that these critters represent human   
   opponents (people with opposing views) I'll refrain from labeling my (waking)   
   impression of    
   exactly who or what these critters represent, other than to say one of them   
   may have "its" own network of influence, so it occurs to me that getting   
   people to read something they may disagree with may be what brings out those   
   barbed stingers.  Regardless,   
    in the dream, I did peel a few of these critters away in such a manner as to   
   carefully disburse them so as not to get stung (or pricked) as they all seemed   
   like *dead* skeletal critters anyways.  There were only maybe 4 or 5 of these   
   in total, and only    
   the one that appeared extra-wrapped as if for protection.  It also had a kind   
   of "feel" around it, as if perhaps a magnetic field or *possibly* even a   
   "living" field of energy was around it.  Clarity: 7+, mostly symbolic (I'm   
   sure!) as the human-type    
   endoskeletons "felt" perfectly normal within the dream, yet the objective fact   
   that scorpions have "exoskeletons" tells me that this was *hugely* symbolic.   
      
   There were two other dreams, possibly one before and one after, but I'm having   
   some trouble recalling them at the moment.  The later one (clarity maybe 4?)   
   seemed oriented toward process: getting something mechanical in nature to   
   serve the purpose of a    
   desired action.  OK, maybe 3.  It was clearer when it occurred, but FAR too   
   much evaporation since then has rendered it all but forgotten.   
      
   The OTHER dream was (originally) perhaps the clearest of all!  And yet now, at   
   the keyboard, I got nuthin'.  Maybe something about animals / animal   
   behavior?  If it comes back, *maybe* I'll write about it later.
