   There were many, many dreams, and upon waking I had a fairly decent grasp of   
   most of the details.  Sadly, evap tends to delete a bit of them.  I suppose it   
   MAY have something to do with the amount of time spent in the morning writing   
   them down, as    
   opposed to getting distracted by other things.   
      
   Bag/box of leaking putty: The dreamer was examining a large box, perhaps 4   
   feet tall by 2½' square.  The contents of the box seemed *mostly* intact, but   
   there was the sense of leaking putty around one bottom edge.  It is possibly   
   of major relevance that    
   Mom's "Hoveround" is being delivered today.  Although Mom does NOT have   
   incontinence issues (such as a colostomy bag) it is easy to imagine the   
   Hoveround people are VERY accustomed to dealing with modifications for those   
   leaky-type elders, and thus I    
   suspect the "large box of putty" was indeed a symbolic representation of what   
   is being delivered here (shortly, due between 1 PM and 3 PM:  it's now 12:59   
   PM 10/24/2020.)  Clarity 8.   
      
   Gadget making a path through the field:  I SUSPECT this may be due to the   
   concept of Mom potentially using her hoveround to traverse the field behind   
   the house in order to reach her bench which she sits at for a bit of time   
   whenever she feels up to it.     
   As of before this moment, she still managed to walk across the field, although   
   at some times she's been in need of a ride home, or a human assist from the   
   half-way point *back* to the house (as it has a gentle, uphill slope.)  Well,   
   that's "IRL".  The    
   dream, however, involved a kind of stick-like object "crawling" (creeping?)   
   through the field, except that the PATH it was making was NOT towards the   
   bench (WSw) but rather due west.  With due north being 0°, due west being   
   270°, and due south being    
   180°, the direction to the bench is roughly 225°-235° (no, I'm not gonna go   
   out and measure it with a protractor, but *roughly* is good enough for simple   
   journaling.)  The gadget appeared to be dragging something behind it,   
   something that appeared to    
   be a kind of rag-towel-like material.  Maybe Mom will use the Hoveround to go   
   visit the tree in the middle of the field later, IRL?  Also clarity 8, but   
   possibly closer to 7 or 6, as that crawly-gadget was largely undefined.  One   
   would HOPE that the    
   material being dragged behind it was NOT indicative of my mother's shape,   
   although I have had a series of dreams over time depicting her general waning.   
      
   Kids in a bb gun / paint war?:  The dreamer was on a street similar to a type   
   of business district, but with very well-landscaped features (trees, flowers,   
   plants, etc.) very reminiscent of a street IRL that runs N-S, into Nashville,   
   from the western    
   side of the metro area.  (I wanna say "Hillsboro Road", but I think that is   
   incorrect.  It's been YEARS since I've actually driven the street IRL,   
   definitely pre-brain injury in 2013.)  The action in the dream was of people   
   (teens, young-to-mid 20s) with    
   sticks (similar to BB guns or paint rifles) shooting at each other, from   
   opposite sides / across the street.  For whatever reason, the dreamer felt   
   more like a non-participant in this (mock?) battle, and simply journeyed   
   quickly "up the street" (which    
   would've been southward, perhaps) and left (east) toward some buildings, with   
   a mild thought as to protection / getting out of the way of those shooting at   
   each other.  Did the dreamer make it?  Can't say.  Dream ended. Clarity 8,   
   just shy of 9.   
      
   Somewhere in a university?:  This is one of those dreams that has evaporated   
   the most.  Just some remnants left of traveling between rooms / along   
   corridors, stairwells.  Not even so much as a reason or rhyme as to what was   
   going on.  Clarity 6, possibly    
   5 due to all the evaporation.   
      
   dog/hog:  The dreamer encounters a guy with a small critter, about the size of   
   a medium-sized lap dog, except it's covered with brown, furry/curly hair, and   
   the person (farmer?) in the dream is telling the dreamer that the critter is   
   "dinner", with some    
   thought as to the critter being a "hog" or pig (porcine.)  The dreamer petted   
   the critter briefly, with a mixture of love / care / fondness FOR the critter,   
   yet that sad realization that someone was going to eventually turn it into   
   "dinner."  Clarity 7    
   due to the questionable nature of the hog/dog critter.
