   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.
