   I spent most of my time last night in dream world, as it were. If I were to   
   write up ALL of it, I'd spend my entire life here doing that rather than   
   getting anything else done. So here are the shortened items:   
      
   Deer in the yard:   
      
   There were three spirit-white deer in the yard, with antlers. The dreamer at   
   one point appeared to be in the front passenger (right-hand) seat of a car   
   with the window rolled down about 2". There was some talking in the form of   
   the dreamer reaching his    
   hand up to the window for one of the deer to examine, and speaking the word   
   "hand" as if trying to teach the deer English for some absurd reason, or   
   perhaps trying to establish some form of reasoning / communication with the   
   deer itself. There was not    
   much else on this, other than the deer leaving the scene, except for one   
   unexplained view of a doe (no antlers) tied with a rope around her neck to a   
   stake in the ground about 4'-5' long. There was no direct tension on the rope   
   (it sagged naturally /    
   wasn't straight as it would be if she'd been pulling at it) and she appeared   
   to be halfway interested in grazing but more interested perhaps in what she   
   would do if let off that rope. She was also spirit-white, just like the 3   
   stags. I can't recall    
   ever having seen ghost-deer in a dream before. Clarity was perhaps 8+, maybe   
   9-, except that the deer may have been symbolic of my 4 kids (3 boys, 1 girl)   
   except they're all at different ages. So other than points, how is one even   
   supposed to put an    
   age on a symbolic ghost-spirit-deer?   
      
   House structure restoration:   
      
   In this rather short scene, the dreamer is inside a structure, facing   
   something akin to a doorway, noting that the vertical beams of the doorway are   
   buckled in the middle. He pushes against both beams (the left and the right)   
   at the same time, and the    
   doorway "straightens up". Whether this effected a permanent or temporary   
   repair is unknown. Clarity 8 (there was no understanding of where the doorway   
   was, or what it represented, etc., just that it was in need of a firm shove of   
   support.)   
      
   Words forming:   
      
   In a reddish-pinkish-background (similar to what one "sees" with one's eyelids   
   shut) words / keystroke characters start to form, at first just individual   
   keystrokes (I noticed at least one close-parenthesis on its own) then the   
   dreamer began to mentally    
   wonder, "What about words?" (but in the sense of written words: nothing was   
   "spoken" in this dream) then instantly the darker characters formed words, as   
   if in a sentence, but the writing was not clear enough for the dreamer to make   
   them out specficially.   
    Not even a hint. There were perhaps three words together which appeared to   
   form a complete sentence. Then a sentence appeared rather clearly to be in a   
   font which easily could've been "Quintessential", a font I observed only   
   briefly the other day in    
   Google Docs. Although it was clear that none of the words were clear, the   
   dreamer simply understood that sometimes this kind of inability to see clearly   
   is a common occurence in dreams, and didn't sweat it, as the expression goes,   
   and the dream ended.    
   Clarity 6-, maybe 5. Borderline 4. The only thing that was "clear" about the   
   dream at all was the sense that an entity / mind / of SOME kind was attempting   
   to communicate. I always give an E for effort in such cases online when   
   having discussions with    
   people from other languages.   
      
   Top of sister's head / bad ending:   
      
   I recall at some point the dreamer had a flash of interest in seeing the top   
   of his sister's head. This thought was totally lost until someone presented   
   the dreamer with a box, and inside that box was his middle sister. (I   
   personally have 3 sisters,    
   although the youngest one, born about 18 months before me, has passed away.)    
   Specifically, it seemed like it was his sister's body, as if collapsed by   
   gravity, the box being about 3' cubed. The top of her head was visible, black   
   hair, except it was    
   bloody, as if someone had delivered some extreme trauma ("bashed it in," to   
   put it colloquially.) The dreamer felt this was the result of someone's sick   
   action, but other than that, had no other reaction as the thought of wanting   
   to see his sister's    
   head earlier flashed back to mind, and he wondered if someone had possibly   
   considered taking him literally, much as a jihadist might interpret the   
   Qur'an, as the dream ended.   
      
   Sure, there were other dreams last night, but that last one before waking was   
   disturbing enough to get me out of bed, and all the other dreams have simply   
   evaporated by now.
