      From: dicksilk@gmail.com              10:29 AM 11/19/2020              I'm posting a bit later in the morning, after having already done some other       work online, and am personally impressed that so many dreams are relatively       still fresh in my recollection:              Yellow jackets in cupboard: The dreamer was in a role AS IF [he] were an       employee at Wal*Mart (a job I had around 1993) involving unloading inventory       just arrived, only the location seemed more along the lines of the FRONT of       the building rather than        the REAR where the trucks dock (IRL.) There seemed to be some type of       rectangular, stackable flat-form, perhaps 4' long by 2' wide and 5" deep, such       that the form may have had a hinged lid OR it could have been 3D much like a       tray which held different        forms of food and such. The dreamer was mentioning that he'd skipped       breakfast and could really use something to eat, when a foreman of sorts       indicated that a particular locker needed inspected. These lockers were along       the front, inside wall of the        store, where typically one strolls by a small strip of mini-stores (IRL) only       in the dream, the front wall was simply lined with lockers in this one       particular section near the middle right. The locker # given to be examined       was something like "1450" or        thereabouts, which struck the dreamer much like a year from the 15th century       (it could have been anywhere between 1401 and 1480, just that some evaporation       has occurred.) As the dreamer came near to open the numbered cupboard, a few       yellow-jackets (       bumblebees) came buzzing out, and the dreamer was sufficiently startled that       he began swatting at a few using a bundle of newspapers which increasingly       became larger and larger (the 3rd swat had more material in it than the 2nd,       which had more than the        1st) such that the dreamer began having second thoughts as to what might be a       more effective way of clearing out whatever had taken up residence inside, and       rather than seeing the incident as a prank ([send the new guy to stir up the       old wasp nest]) the        dreamer began instead to think of it as a challenge task: how to accomplish       smoking out the flying bugs, possibly with just smoke, possibly with wasp       spray, as the dream ended. Note that IRL, I prefer to simply avoid wasp-like       critters as much as        possible: they have their business, and I have my own, but in the dream, the       dreamer was definitely of the swatting mode to start with, and was       deliberately trying to swat them down with the bundle of newspaper in his       hands. Clarity 8+, possibly 9-.        Those flying bugs sure seemed clear enough to aim for and swipe at!              Ants on patrol: The dreamer was aware of a small line of ants moving in       single file march from point A to point B located somewhere else way across a       room, such as in a house. Just for fun, the dreamer placed a floor rug along       a door jamb they were        marching down, and sure enough, a handful of them were able to practically       scoot / fall down the length of the rug as if they had suddenly found       super-speed / traction. They basically dropped down the length of the rug       (about 3' to 4') at roughly the        speed of gravity. The dreamer thought this would really be super-helpful to       the ants, only for some reason, a water spray leak (similar to what one might       experience from a shower head that's not entirely water-tight at the swivel)       seemed to form near        the top of the door jamb, and this water seemed to halt the ants entirely in       their place. The dreamer was contemplating how to alleviate this issue when       the dream ended. There was almost a ghost of another dream image involving       the destination of the        ants further inside the room, as if they were headed towards Snoopy's doghouse       (from the PEANUTS comic strip by Charles Schultz) only that part of the dream       was merely a vague thought, like clarity 3, except the rest of the dream       seemed to be rather        straight-forward, around clarity 7 or 8.              "Family style" grouping of associates: The dreamer seemed to be associating       with a handful of somewhat diverse young adults gathered around a       lunchroom-like table. There was a sense of narration going on that these       people were the dreamer's "new family,       " so he may as well get acquainted with them. Clarity 8. There were at least       2 people who were more noticed than the rest, being a male and a female,       although the rest of the group were totally nondescript.              Car / travel: The dreamer seemed intent upon driving a vehicle along a road,       possibly making a left turn onto a section of US-231 South a ways south of       Murfreesboro, although that's just an approximation of location, as it wasn't       exactly "known" where        the location was supposed to be, only that the dreamer seemed intent to get       from point A to point B, and there seemed to be SOME interfering traffic along       the way.                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
