   OK, so I've gotten my calendar screwed up (again!)  Not sure how that happens,   
   but I'm seeing that today is 8/24/2020, MONDAY.   
      
   Had a LOT of dreams last night, but fortunately, this late in the day, only 3   
   or 4 of note have survived:   
      
   Driving "assignment"? from Automotive Service   
   Driving while reclining, looking over my right shoulder to see ahead   
   Construction of cabin (?) porch floor (?)   
   Discovery of *odd* cat under porch   
   Travel through *WEIRD* community   
      
   I've re-arranged (?) some of these as they almost seem to weave a relatively   
   "straight" narrative / timeline, although they were all discrete / separate   
   dream sequences (or so I thought?):   
      
   One dream involved a kind of "driving assignment" from where I worked in the   
   past at Automotive Service.  Not much detail remaining from the dream itself,   
   almost entirely evaporated, but it does set the tone for the next sequence:   
   The dreamer was traveling as if north on US-41, in the same pattern I used to   
   test drive vehicles for Automotive Service.  There was an awkward bit to this   
   dream, however:  the dreamer was "reclining" as if asleep in bed on one's   
   right side (which,    
   incidentally, was likely just how I was sleeping in bed at that time) which   
   required a sort of "look" upward, "ahead", to the right as it were, in order   
   to see the road ahead.   
      
   The dreamer arrived at a work site similar to that of a house under   
   construction.  There appears to be a kind of "before" sense as well as an   
   "after", as if both time frames were superimposed over each other, making this   
   one a bit confusing to write out    
   in a linear fashion.  In the "before" sense, the dreamer seemed aware of an   
   amount of lumber that needed arranged in order to create a cabin porch   
   "floor."  However, in the "after" sense, the dreamer feels as if "he" had   
   arrived AFTER the construction,    
   and felt a bit "left out" of the process, but appreciated the way the porch   
   floor itself had been constructed:  *round logs* (straight timber) had been   
   aligned side-by-side as the floor of the porch, however, it was all covered   
   with flat planking (maybe    
   ½" to â…ž" thick, perhaps 6" wide.  Didn't catch the board "length.")  There   
   seemed to be a "path" by which an individual could navigate from off the porch   
   into the porch area, under the porch ceiling, up to the back door.   
      
   UNDER a porch (possibly the same porch?) there appeared to be an ODD breed of   
   cat.  Imagine black fur, but "round" all about, such that instead of a cat,   
   the critter appeared to be a cylindrical shape, not unlike a fuzzy-wuzzy   
   caterpillar.  Still, the    
   dreamer befriended the cat and nuzzled its fur without incident.  What   
   *became* of the cat was not a part of the dream, other than it seemed missing   
   a bit later, and there is a *scrap* of a dream fragment involving a dead   
   rodent lying upon the ground.   
      
   The last dream of note was the *weirdest* by far:  it was as if the dreamer   
   were traveling through a kind of mobile home park, *possibly* a nudist colony   
   (like Rock Haven off Bradyville Hwy) *except* that instead of seeing nudes   
   outside, there were    
   statue-like figures of people, mostly men, mostly bearded / nearly furry, such   
   that there was no "explicit" art to speak of, but the figures seemed made of   
   silvery-white marble or some such.  It just felt *weird* traveling through the   
   area.  Dream ended.
