   Dream before waking:  The dreamer had a view as if from within a mobile home   
   (VERY similar to 3050 Asbury Lane setting of yesteryears gone by) as if   
   through the corner of a whole in the building of some sort (*not* a window,   
   but perhaps a view screen or    
   simply a whole in the wall!) of a standard mail delivery vehicle (slightly   
   larger and boxier than a Korean War era jeep) arriving at an area beside a   
   power pole with various wires, cables and such attached to the pole.  The   
   mailman appeared as none other    
   than former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee :-)  WHY he would pop up in a   
   dream I have *no* idea.  *WHY* he would be in the character of a mailman I   
   have *no* idea— well, other than the obvious political metaphor, that he's   
   helping ensure mail gets    
   delivered "on time."  He appeared to be hanging some dry cleaning on a cable   
   attached to the pole, but the cable simply dropped loose to the ground.  At   
   this point, the dreamer determined to go meet the mailman and explain how the   
   cables on the pole were    
   arranged, so that he would know the difference between the "just there" type   
   of cables and the one that was solidly affixed to the pole, which would work   
   much better for the purpose (of hanging up the dry cleaning.)   
      
   The thing of most interest (to me) at this point was the manner of travel   
   which the dreamer was using:  not on foot, but by use of arms:  a left arm /   
   right arm approach, in opposing wind-mill-like rotation, as if one were doing   
   a crawl-stroke through    
   water.  The dreamer considered going to a butterfly-type stroke in order to   
   move more rapidly, but the crawl-stroke seemed all that could be managed at   
   that point.  It seemed fortuitous that the dreamer made it to the mailman   
   (Huckabee) before the    
   mailman disappeared (as they do tend to get moving away rapidly on occasion)   
   but the guy appeared to have been seeing the dreamer approach and waited for   
   the impending conversation.   
      
   The dreamer began to explain to the mailman how there were simply wires that   
   served no major (useful) purpose on the pole, while there was this *other*   
   cable that was firmly affixed and would serve the purpose well should the need   
   arise in the future.     
   Dream ended.  Clarity 8+.  For all intents and purposes, this dream "seemed"   
   real (the visual wasn't that great, but the situation seemed real enough)   
   *except* that the motion being used (the hand over hand arm-crawl) seemed   
   really "artificial" /    
   mechanical.  I have a *sneaking* suspicion that the dreamer was an A.I. and   
   thus unable to move as would a human.  Note:  this was NOT the wheel-pushing   
   movement of a person in a wheelchair.
