   2020/07/05 We Made It! :-)   
      
   So the 4th has come and gone, and we (as a nation) are still here!   
      
   The reason I mention this is because of a peculiar dream before waking, where   
   the dreamer was "erasing" socialism merely by introducing logic.  And while I   
   am mostly unable to recall anything specifically *from* the dream (clarity 6   
   or 7, perhaps, almost    
   totally evaporated, however) what I *do* recall was a kind of A or B point, at   
   which a choice was offered.  A person who chose "socialism" seemed fated to   
   the B position, which was lower and to the left of the A position, which   
   seemed higher and to the    
   center, and represented (possibly) capitalism, possibly Christianity.   
      
   A waking observation here:  *both* Christianity AND Capitalism use a central   
   concept of Unity:  In Christianity, that central Unity is God, and God is   
   Love.  In Capitalism, the "love" (and perhaps "God"?) symbology has been   
   removed and only Cash (coin)    
   remains.  For example:  a dollar may be either "positive" OR "negative" (as in   
   possessed or owed) or "gained" OR "lost" but it still forms the central unity   
   of Value.  Socialism is based entirely upon greed, which tends to overlook (if   
   not eliminate) the    
   2nd vibration of "The Great Commandment."   
      
   In other words, Judeo-Christianity is based upon "The Great Commandment" (Love   
   God with all you have) and the 2nd, "which is like unto it," to love one's   
   neighbor (and enemies) as thyself.  Clearly, socialists wish to steal from the   
   rich to give to the    
   poor, creating a one-way cash flow, which inevitably leads to death, which is   
   why socialism always fails.   
      
   At any rate, the dreamer was simply "erasing" socialism, apparently by just   
   "being" at a location and evaporating the dualism of socialism.  It was   
   practically a "gestalt" type experience.   
      
   Meanwhile, in another dream, there was a setting *similar* to a combination   
   between an office type / corporate setting, and MTSU, between the Murphy   
   Center and the Alumni Memorial Gym.  IN REAL LIFE, this area is either open   
   grass and sidewalk (above    
   ground) or a connecting tunnel (below ground) but in the dream, it was an   
   office type area, with the feel of a multi-level marketing company.  There was   
   a female boss in charge (or so it seemed) who was like a combination between   
   Jessica Alba and Gina.  (   
   Sorry, but that was the impression I had.)   
      
   There was something going on with respect to a computer data base / data   
   entry, or somehow reflecting a weakness within the system.  I had the   
   impression that the dreamer in this case was either working for or a previous   
   employee of or in some way *very    
   familiar with* the computing system being used, and was either fixing a   
   problem OR possibly white-hat hacking OR had such a conviction of what was   
   going on that any "black-hat hacking" was viewed *as* white-hat hacking.  (The   
   dreamer *felt* like a "good    
   guy" who was familiar with the weaknesses within the system.)  Clarity   
   7-or-8-ish.   
      
   Another dream involved the same area, except it was transportation-oriented,   
   involving a kind of golf-cart-buggy, except that it had yellow flashers on   
   top, not the modern strobe-type strips, but the rotating bubble-gum-type   
   flashers of the latter part    
   of last century, still in use in areas today.  The action involved a "key" (?)   
   being used to start the vehicle, and the attention drawn by the yellow   
   flashers.  It felt perhaps "better" if those were left "off."   
      
   Another dream involved a HUGE line of people waiting outside a movie theater.    
   The location was the Martin Twin (Jackson Heights Plaza) (which in real life   
   has *long* since been a 6-screen theater, but in my youth, it was mostly   
   either a twin or, even    
   older, a single screen venue.)  The line of people were OBVIOUSLY NOT   
   concerned with Covid in ANY way.  They were possibly 3 across, maybe more, and   
   front-to-back (what the army used to call "nut-to-butt") and the dreamer was   
   wondering how much time it    
   would take to get in to see the movie (hours, perhaps?) The dream ended   
   without a resolution, to get in line or to skip it, but *my* typical response   
   would be to come back later when the lines were thinner / shorter.  Clarity 8   
   or 9!
