   I keep having Hobbit (dwarves) related dreams.  Had another one last night /   
   this morning before waking.  Other than some remnant of action being involved,   
   I can't recall.  The dream was around clarity 4 or 5 at best originally.  Add   
   to (or take away    
   from) that the evaporation effect, and all I'm left with is "dwarves", maybe 1   
   to 3 total.  No idea.  Regardless, that was / is a *great* (an *EPIC*) novel /   
   film! √   
      
   Another curious dream involved a scene involving an open-touring car from   
   perhaps the 1930s, a blonde dressed in the same era (a black and white   
   perspective!) and only vague other ideas of what it could have been about.   
   Clarity 6 or 7, maybe even an 8.   
      
   This other dream was clearly an 8 but evaporation has eroded a bit of it.    
   There were at least two forces in play, plus the dreamer, so let's go with 3?    
   (Maybe just two, hard to say):  It had the feel of a union boss (with the   
   sense of corrupt power    
   that benefited mostly him) who was overseeing a project that had the sense of   
   a skyscraper in a large city (like NYC) along with the sense that the project   
   was half-complete (the outline of the building was apparent, with the feeling   
   that it was perhaps    
   at least 30%-40% complete) and the "boss" had the sense that he was "in   
   charge", as if he had the project by the 'nads, as it were.  This guy was a   
   thick critter, kinda like an Irish-Bronx boxer type, *maybe* 6' tall, but   
   appeared taller than those    
   around him, who were not even "seen"!   
      
   The pivotal point here is that the boss appeared to be dictating his will to   
   the project owner (the one paying for it all) as to how things were gonna go.    
   The unclear part of this is whether the dreamer was any party to this   
   conversation, because the    
   rest was mostly "felt" than anything else:  The other guy on the end of the   
   line (which had a quality that felt closer to being "the dreamer") seemed to   
   have knowledge of a very fine, specific, legal clause within the contract, and   
   chose to invoke (   
   execute) it over the phone with the "boss", essentially *firing* the boss,   
   then hanging up the phone. Whether the owner had another source to help   
   complete the project or not was unknown.  Any question of whether the project   
   was even salvageable or not    
   wasn't even raised.  The point that the "boss" was terminated / the contract   
   phrase invoked upon him was all that mattered.  There was NOTHING the "boss"   
   could do.  (Not legally, at any rate.  Any criminal retaliation or sabotage   
   would have been a    
   decision / choice / action not of the owner's making.)   
      
   There was something of a follow-up / aftershock / wave of a dream, wherein the   
   "boss" (who was no longer boss of *anything*) seemed to be in a location of   
   reprieve, such as at a massage parlor or spa.  The dreamer at this point   
   seemed rather timid, as    
   would a person of significantly slighter build would feel around a giant oaf.    
   There seemed to be the need of the ex-boss to relieve some tension, so the   
   dreamer proceeded to give an elbow-point massage, whereby one takes one's   
   elbow and uses it for deep-   
   tissue / muscle penetration of the neck and shoulders.  This is only used on   
   the super-beefy by someone with a lesser body build, where simply hand /   
   finger strength is not enough to reach those deeper knots.  There were two   
   thoughts perceived at that    
   point:  1) there was a target in need of massage therapy, and 2) how to get   
   out of there without getting attacked?   
      
   The dream ended (!)
