   Life as a Bird:   
      
   This dream starts with the dreamer *in the mind / being* of a small bird,   
   being taught how to sense fish in the water below, and how to simply pluck a   
   fish out of the water (it's really super-simple!)  So the dreamer (bird) makes   
   a catch (feeds) and    
   swallows it, no problem.  Some activity passes, involving flying about to   
   another (later) location, where there is another bird, possibly injured or   
   incapacitated in some way, and the objective is for the dreamer to retrieve   
   one of two fish previously    
   set aside as snacks for later, the objective to give one to the injured other   
   bird (I'm assuming it would've been simply transferred over, whole, however,   
   the dream ends before this is accomplished.)  The dreamer/bird was in the   
   process of seeking out    
   one of the former snack-fish when the dream ends.  There was a parting   
   question or comment, however, regarding the type of fish that was snored, and   
   the question that was formed was along the lines of something similar to: "Are   
   you sure you'll be OK with    
   [type X]?"  Clarity 6 to 7.  The whole things was practically a    
   ymbolic/"sensed" dream with very little in the way of actual visual elements.   
      
   Critter in a Can?   
      
   This is a short dream that has the dreamer sensing there is another critter   
   (possibly the injured bird in the previous dream?) trapped in a can/container   
   of some type, such that the trapped critter simply cannot get out, and the   
   dreamer is on an errand    
   to find and/or feed the critter, provided it is still alive, which is   
   unknown.  Clarity more like a 5, with basically only the element of need,   
   practically no visual elements.  Mostly just a sense of need-to-resolve.   
      
   Working for the Eerie Canal (as a band member / as a ride-guide):   
      
   This one was VERY visual:  it began with the dreamer in a red, detailed   
   outfit, very much like a 1960s-'70s style (heavy) band uniform, similar to a   
   "bellhop" or (older) "valet" type outfit, maybe later teens or early 20s.    
   While (his?) job at that point    
   wasn't exactly clear, there were others present in more yellow (gold) colored   
   uniforms, only this was far closer to that uniform color of pale, yellow-gold   
   than to the metallic shimmer of gilt-golden gold.  It was as if those in this   
   uniform had a    
   specifically different job.  I can't say this was a communist-state-like   
   location, but it had the feel of employees of the State, but NOT at the   
   Federal level.  Just low-level employees of a state park-run facility, for   
   instance   The dreamer finds a    
   gold jacket just *lying* upon the ground outside of a building and puts it on   
   in order to go inside.   
      
   Inside there seems to be an area similar to the method used by amusement parks   
   to queue riders into ride cars or boats:  It seems like a relatively large   
   hall, except that there's a current of water running through a channel in the   
   floor, and long, flat    
   boards (rafts) are in the water, with the idea being that riders get onto   
   these rafts (maybe as many as 4 at a time, if seated correctly) with an area   
   at the rear of each board where a "launcher" stands to pole or otherwise get   
   the board started in a    
   forward direction.  This part was just confusing enough that it was unclear   
   whether the poler / launcher (the dreamer) was supposed to ride with a board   
   or to launch consecutive boards with riders.  (The consecutive method seemed   
   to be in use.)   
      
   There came a moment when the dreamer was pondering whether he should   
   (literally) "hop aboard" (please pardon the slight pun) and ride with one of   
   the boards to its destination.  To call this an "eerie canal" is perhaps   
   another pun, but it seemed like a    
   logical, fun, *normal* means of travel.  As the dreamer seemed to still be   
   pondering whether or not to hitch a ride on a board, there was some element of   
   travel on foot along the hallways that paralleled the water course / canal.    
   The dreamer was    
   possibly between building junctions when the dream ended.  Clarity 7+ to 8-,   
   due to some of the underlying confusion, but I have a *strong* hunch this   
   dream may be related to an upcoming *possible* 40th reunion for the class of   
   GCHS '81.  (Some reunion    
   classes are held in the Fall rather than later in the Spring in order to   
   gather at a homecoming game or such.)   
      
   Gina's Car (rear exterior):   
      
   The dreamer (most likely myself) is standing outside, looking at the rear end   
   of Gina's car.  (This knowledge / understanding is basically a given, no   
   direct evidence required.)  The rear license plate appeared more like a larger   
   message board, such as    
   an indicator of some activity or area she's been involved in.  When the dream   
   was in progress, the readability of everything *seemed* clear, although the   
   dreamer was experiencing some difficulty in making it out exactly.  The   
   *general gist* of the    
   message was a kind of email / web address relating to individuals who prefer   
   absolute privacy, not unlike "Anonymous@LeaveMeAlone.com" (as an example.)   
      
   The dreamer felt sadly misunderstood that someone should ever have to express   
   let alone endure any such feelings, but such was the message.  Clarity 8 to 9   
   (of all things!)
