   2020/06/30 Tuesday: Not *exactly* Taylor Swift... ?   
      
   There was a kind of running theme along this one dream which involved a   
   starlet who looked like the younger Taylor Swift, from the "Romeo & Juliet"   
   era, back *before* she turned into an evil, pro-Hillary sycophant.  So while   
   the gal in this dream *looked*   
    **just like** the younger Taylor, she had a *different* name and personality   
   / persona, that of an athlete / model who was more into snow skiing or some   
   other type of activity that required the modeling of skin / body suits.   
      
   But believe it or not, *she* wasn't exactly the theme of the dream!  The   
   dreamer was a (presumably?) male photographer, and had the privilege /   
   assignment of photographing the female athlete / model.  There was a certain   
   amount of giddiness / joy in the    
   assignment: the dreamer *knew* [he (?)] was *exceptionally* lucky to have this   
   assignment, only the female was *not* Taylor Swift, and did not have anywhere   
   *near* her level of fandom / star-power, yet she *was* a "hot item" in that   
   people would easily    
   fight for the position of being her photographer (she had *some* star power   
   evident within the dream.)   
      
   The first action portion of the dream involved the photographer taking at   
   least one roll of film (yes, "roll," in that there was no digital photography   
   in this dream.)  Writing this up, it seems a 2nd roll was involved as well.   
      
   There is a "rival" photographer, one who did NOT get the assignment of being   
   *her* photographer, yet he seemed to be in the same photography class as the   
   dreamer / photographer, and they both had the same teacher, who seemed a lot   
   closer in age /    
   appearance to myself, around mid-fifties, but with a darker head of hair.  The   
   dreamer (and the rival and the model) seemed quite a bit younger, maybe young   
   college-age.   
      
   There was this scene where the photographer was looking through his prints   
   (yes, color prints, not digital screens) and seemed distressed that half his   
   work was missing (remember, these were all prints of the female athlete / snow   
   skier / model that    
   looked like a younger Taylor Swift— Maybe with an extra 10 lbs?? She   
   seemed— *stronger*, healthier somehow.  But that positive, warm sense of   
   happiness / joy / smile was still there.)   
      
   So while the missing roll of film had the photographer distressed (that   
   someone was messing with him) the rival photographer seemed to have the   
   missing prints, or a sense that he had them.  There was some verbal   
   interaction / dialogue between the rascal    
   and the photographer, with the end result being the "sense" that the dreamer   
   retrieved the film and used it to continue shooting more pics of the model (on   
   a different shoot, obviously.)  Now, how a roll of film could be passed from   
   one camera to another    
   without exposing the film is not addressed here.  One could liken it to   
   passing a digital chip between digital cameras (no threat from exposure)   
   however this all seemed film-based (although this could be a totally symbolic   
   dream.  Who knows?)   
      
   The next scene involves the photographer / dreamer starting to analyze the   
   resulting roll of film, only to find there is (again) nothing present.  This   
   makes twice now that (he) feels duped by the rival photographer.  There is a   
   scene that seems to be in    
   a photography classroom, and the dreamer is presenting his plight to the   
   teacher, who asks aloud if someone was deliberately monkeying with the   
   photographer's film / equipment?  The rival classmate seems to indicate assent   
   via a raised eyebrow or similar    
   gesture.  It wasn't exactly "seen" by the dreamer, but he had the impression   
   that the instructor had the impression that the rival was fessing up to   
   (taking credit for) the theft.   
      
   It seems the instructor had a bit of a situation here:  on the one hand, the   
   rival was succeeding off the work of others, a form of capitalism, certainly a   
   form of "winning".  On the other hand, the dreamer was being victimized in the   
   process, and    
   deserved justice.  On the other hand, the dreamer *could* have taken greater   
   precautions against the theft of his work by his rival, so in essence, the   
   dreamer only had himself to blame.   
      
   The discovery of the 2nd shoot's theft was in the form of a scene whereby the   
   dreamer was pulling out the film to look at the prints, and saw only "ghost   
   images" of where the prints (the scenes in the film) *should* have been, as if   
   the images themselves    
   had been stolen, leaving faint impressions behind in the film.  The dreamer   
   felt as if the only thing left to do was to discuss the situation with the   
   model.   
      
   This final scene involves the dreamer going along a hallway, similar to an   
   apartment building (not exactly like an apartment complex.  There is a   
   difference!) looking for the residence / door of the model.  Just a note, this   
   gal's name was never quite    
   stated, explicitly, only "Taylor" was never quite the idea.  It seemed more   
   like "Jennifer" or something.  I never did quite make it out.  The dreamer   
   passed a door on the left, in the hallway, apparently belonging to some other   
   female semi-star of    
   renown, of the level that might have had her own security detail if she'd been   
   out in public.  As she emerged from her doorway, the dreamer half-way stopped   
   to explain he was going to see (the model) regarding the photography, and   
   asked the gal in the    
   hallway if she knew whether or not the model ("Jenny"?) was in.  The gal   
   replied she wasn't sure, but didn't think so.  The dreamer thanked her for her   
   opinion, but that he was going to check anyways, just on the chance she was   
   actually home.   
      
   The end of this passed by rather quickly, with the concept that the model had   
   been inside, that the missing prints were OK, that such is life, no big deal,   
   and she had an appointment and had to go.  The last view was of the model (the   
   one that looked    
   like a young Taylor Swift) heading toward the "camera" perspective, walking   
   down the hallway, out of the scene.   
      
   Clarity 8, easily, closer to 9 at times, but symbolically closer to 7 at times   
   as well.
