   So the time zone has adjusted back to "Central STANDARD Time" and for the next   
   few months, I won't worry about the time stamp on my dream journals.  HOWEVER,   
   it would greatly behoove me to keep a recording device (perhaps in the future)   
   such that I can    
   keep a verbal record to help me transcribe my notes later.  Even so, last   
   night's dream was a DOOZY of a "liquid" dream, in that everything FLOWED from   
   one idea to the next.  There was practically ZERO linear continuity   
   whatsoever.  Even as wild dreams    
   go, this was perhaps "unhinged" in that nothing really "connected" to   
   anything, other than perhaps the tiniest thread of a plot, having something to   
   do with life-form A transitioning to new location B.  This dream was like an   
   LSD trip only as a dream.     
   Imagine for a moment, a batch of Boston baked beans (the brown sugar style)   
   only they were animate to the degree of being their own life form.  Other than   
   that, most every other aspect of the dream has evaporated, other than the   
   memory upon waking that "   
   THAT was WEIRD!"  I wonder if *perhaps* it may have been from the perspective   
   of a nihilist or anarchist, where there is NO law, NO order whatsoever.  There   
   wasn't really anything "unpleasant" about it, just that nothing seemed to flow   
   in a linear form.     
   Thought A prompted thought B which prompted thoughts C, D, and E, etc., yet   
   nothing really seemed "connected"— for example, *even the thought* of a seed   
   has a connection to the thought of watching a movie with a bag of popcorn.    
   NONE of that dream felt    
   "connected" OTHER than the concept of some lifeform getting to a new location,   
   and that's where I'll have to leave it.  Clarity 3, maybe.  At least it was   
   colorful, imaginative, and entertaining at the time!   
      
   Another dream involved some type of small animal(s), either dog or rabbit   
   related.  Too much time spent working on a dead Roomba to even try to recover   
   the dream.   
      
   Another dream involved a rather coherent discussion with a female.  No details   
   remain, however.  In a slightly related dream, a female seemed to be making   
   moves on the dreamer, but that did not lead to anything noteworthy (or   
   memorable.)  One female (not    
   sure of which dream or where this occurred) appeared mid-30s, maybe 20   
   something, with a nice head of big hair (think volume, not much beyond   
   shoulder length, but "out" around all the sides, not unlike a powdered-wig   
   look, but more modern, and certainly    
   that of a female, possibly a news commentator or socialite.  She had a   
   youthful appearance BUT her hair was silvery in color, and she appeared to be   
   wearing black framed glasses.  Personal note: she had a kind of cross-look   
   between Beth Stone and Kathy    
   Metcalfe, but chances are not too many readers will ever figure that out, if   
   any.  The coherent dream discussion ended before waking, and I would've been   
   able to transcribe it verbatim it was that clear, except now it's all   
   long-gone / evaporated.
