   2020/07/07 Fluorescent Bulbs in the Attic (?)   
      
   The dream before waking was a fairly domestic scene, but the people involved   
   were either unclear or possibly mistaken so let's start with them:   
      
   The first person, on the dreamer's left, was my dad, at about age 40-ish.  He   
   passed away in 2006.  The person in the attic (let's say roughly 8' or so   
   above the floor level) was the neighbor, Mrs. W., who in real life is probably   
   in her mid-to-late 80s,    
   and certainly using a walker to get around, but in this dream was also in her   
   possible 40s, and relatively thin and spry as she once was.  Note: Dad has   
   dark brown hair, and Mrs. W. has black hair, not that it matters much, but   
   such was noticed within    
   the dream itself.   
      
   The action seemed to be in a kitchen-like area, except that there wasn't any   
   attention on the surrounding walls.  It seems Dad was minding the ladder, and   
   Mrs. W. was up *above* the ceiling, as if in the attic, working on fluorescent   
   bulbs in the ceiling    
   *above* the room we were in.  These were aligned as 4' twin bulb units (two 4'   
   bulbs aligned side-by-side per each base, being the typical white-coated   
   aluminum style) and the dreamer comes into the action just after she has   
   apparently finished    
   tightening one bulb, up in a fixture.   
      
   "Do y'all need any help?"  The dreamer felt a keen need to get in on this and   
   make sure the job was done correctly.  There were at LEAST 3 or 4 units up in   
   that (attic? 2nd floor?) area above the kitchen ceiling.   
      
   "Not sure, yet.  We'll letchya know here in a minute."   
      
   A light switch was turned on, and practically every bulb only looked like it   
   was trying to illuminate from the ends, but there was no connection of any   
   kind throughout any of the bulbs (in the center of the tubes) which basically   
   meant to the dreamer    
   that every one of these units needed testing to be started over from scratch.   
      
   Mrs. W. was working on stepping *down* from the upper area, and began to put   
   her weight on the center of a similar lamp unit that was beneath the level she   
   was standing on, yet above the dreamer's head-level, as if the kitchen in   
   which Dad (and I) were    
   standing was also lit using similar lamp fixtures.  There was a slight   
   *crunch* along with some dust flying when the dreamer waved her back off of   
   it, and brought the ladder around so that she could step down onto the top of   
   the ladder *without* stepping    
   on a lamp fixture.  Dream ended there.   
      
   As I was typing this, I was reminded of another dream that occurred before   
   this one:   
      
   It was as if there were some kind of teaching environment going on, involving   
   (elementary) school-aged kids and at least one teacher, who was working on a   
   blackboard with all sorts of chalk drawings (the board was practically   
   cram-packed with drawings)    
   and asking the class what would indicate something along the lines of racial   
   equality?  (I *suspect* the word used was "equity", but whenever someone says   
   "equity" in a social-political setting, they're *really* aiming for theft from   
   group A in order to    
   profit group B.)   
      
   The dreamer (I have NO idea what age the dreamer was at this point) took the   
   challenge by erasing a section of the blackboard and drawing using colored   
   chalk.  There was a row of yellow dots (bigger than a period, smaller than an   
   "O") stretching from    
   left to right, followed by a row of dark brown dots, white dots, and the   
   dreamer stated the objective was to create a row of "Red and yellow, black and   
   white: They're all precious in his sight." There was also a kind of face-image   
   representing "God"    
   above the rows of dots, and blue dots representing rain falling from the   
   Heavens onto the rows of people below.  This most likely comes from Matthew   
   5:45, where "He causes the [sun to shine | rain to fall] upon *both* the   
   'good' AND the 'evil'."
