   Nearly every dream (with possibly one exception) from last night / this   
   morning involved a general theme, with the dreamer being in location X, in   
   search of location Y.  But perhaps the most unusual dream (one that fit the   
   profile in a very awkward sense)   
    involved the dreamer in search of a men's bathroom.  The searching was in a   
   kind of hallway area that was more like the open floor area of a larger   
   facility, perhaps a mall or a factory.  The area that appeared it might be a   
   men's room was a semi-large    
   room with 4 walls, no stall structures, and only a large, white bucket, upside   
   down in the middle of the floor.  The dreamer tried to lift it (somewhat) only   
   it had been FILLED with FROGS!  Small green frogs, perhaps 1" to 2" in size,   
   ranging in color    
   from the dark green shade to a brighter gummy-neon shade (which seemed more   
   prevalent, at least around the edges.   
      
   The bucket was roughly 2' in depth, maybe slightly less in diameter at the   
   top, much like a 5-gallon paint bucket.  But HOW it had been filled with   
   frogs, flipped upside down, and just *left* there in the middle of the room   
   was something of a mystery.     
   Sure, someone could've used a board of some kind as a lid, then flipped the   
   bucket over then slid out the board, but *WHY*?  Just to leave an *elaborate*   
   prank in the middle of an otherwise empty room, one which was *supposed* to be   
   a men's room?   
      
   The dreamer had only managed to lift this bucket a few inches off the ground.    
   Being filled with frogs, it was rather heavy / had a LOT of "resistance" to   
   being lifted.  Even dropping it right back down directly, quite a number of   
   frogs spilled out    
   around the circumference of the inverted "top" (remember, this bucket is   
   *upside down* on the floor) yet somehow this one, HUGE frog had managed to get   
   out.  Imagine the size of a frog that practically FILLS up a 5-gallon paint   
   bucket, then dozens (if    
   not hundreds) of frogs are filled into the bucket in order fill up the   
   remaining space.  That's how big this frog was.  Its color was a kind of tan,   
   somewhere between the dark green and the neon lime of the smaller frogs,   
   however "shit brown" comes to    
   mind, I suppose because it's a colorful adjectival phrase.   
      
   The dreamer quickly left the room, along with a few thoughts on the matter,   
   such as "WHAT? / WHY?" regarding the bucket incident, "What did that huge frog   
   symbolize? / How did it get there?" "I hope no one saw that / somebody saw   
   that!" (there was *   
   someone* in the area -possibly a female, possibly someone who worked there-   
   who apparently saw the frogs escaping without being returned to the bucket)   
   and "I'm just gonna leave here without trying to return those frogs to the   
   bucket.  That was just    
   plain stupid to begin with."  The dreamer did continue looking for a men's   
   room, however. (End of dream.)  Clarity 8 to 9.  I'd give it a 9+ except that   
   it was so ODD, and also, it had that familiar "veil-like" quality to those   
   dreams one may    
   occasionally have of looking for a restroom.   
      
   In another dream, the dreamer is at a theater, one in which apparently the   
   dreamer is the only ticket buyer, and the person behind the counter is   
   *possibly* the owner, perhaps a bit depressed that no one is buying tickets,   
   possibly dejected / depressed    
   over the "planned-demic" "dem panic" going on these days.  There's a counter   
   in the lobby, nothing fancy, roughly 10' to maybe 16' long, 2½'-3' wide,   
   maybe 4'-4½' high, with a plain, empty counter top look to it.  This is the   
   same kind of bar that    
   would normally host a popcorn or drink machine, but it was empty.  There   
   appears to be some kind of artwork scrawled down on one end (the dreamer was   
   standing as if behind the counter, where a clerk would be, and the artwork was   
   down on the far "right"    
   from that perspective.)  There seemed to be some discussion between what could   
   have been a clerk and what could have been a manager, as only the clerk was   
   even remotely visible in this scene.  The clerk seemed to be saying something   
   along the lines of (   
   his? her? "my") "daughter" was in earlier and left that, as if such a thing   
   may have been not entirely proper, but the clerk didn't think to stop it from   
   happening, even possibly may have been having a great time with the daughter   
   as she was making these    
   drawings.  The clerk had a sense *similar* to LWD, a long-time associate of my   
   acquaintance.  There's a real-life tragic story with respect to how he lost   
   his teen-aged daughter to a drunk driver, but that wasn't even remotely sensed   
   in this dream.   
      
   In another dream, the dreamer seems to be intent upon a cross-country journey,   
   the kind involving fields as well as a bisecting highway.  The dreamer cannot   
   cross the highway at the moment due to the oncoming traffic (which wasn't   
   there a moment ago, but    
   someone "with" the dreamer, sort of like a "conscience figure" brought them to   
   the dreamer's attention, and now they appear as nearly "ghost-like" vehicles,   
   but they present an obstacle just the same.)  The dreamer is starting to feel   
   impatience at all    
   the vehicles, then suggests to the narrator that "he" just FLY them over the   
   road.  Sure enough, the thought becomes realized as the dreamer feels as if on   
   the narrator's shoulders, as the narrator feels the dreamer (as that of a   
   young child) on his    
   shoulders, and they "fly" up a small bit and then forward over the highway.    
   They seem to be across when the dream ends.  Clarity 7 (would've been an 8   
   except the vehicles seemed more like phantom images of light than "solid"   
   vehicles.)   
      
   And yes, there were a LOT of "travel" oriented dreams here...   
      
   In this other dream, the dreamer seems to be in the middle of a journey with   
   only a very few possessions, such as an umbrella with a brown & white   
   checkered (nearly houndstooth) pattern to it.  (Didn't get THAT close a look   
   at it.)  There was something    
   else in the form of a small bundle or kit, easy for carrying but NOT with a   
   handle.  More like a rolled-up tool kit than a purse, for example.  There is a   
   confusing section here, because the dreamer ends up without the umbrella, and   
   feels a need to go "   
   back" and retrieve it.  The setting feels more like a large, open (empty)   
   parking lot.
