   Wal*Mart type job / location:   
   The dreamer was in a work location similar to the front entrance of a   
   Wal*Mart, except a bit more crowded (less open space, more objects / people.)    
   The dreamer seemed to be on a kind of lunch break, as if not directly   
   motivated to be doing anything,    
   until a moment came when the dreamer felt like getting back to work.  Walking   
   from the front right entrance area (as viewed from outside, but walking   
   inside) toward the left area, there appeared to be some flat objects in the   
   floor (aka "main alley")    
   similar to cardboard mats, roughly 3'x4' in size, but some of them appeared to   
   have a type of wheel or other corner device on (what may have been) their   
   leading front corners (but not on their back corners.)  The dreamer walked   
   past them at first, then    
   thought perhaps one might be useful, except that there were only two with   
   special corners (out of four total) to begin with, and on the return to get   
   the last one with special corners, it too seemed to be gone (likely in use.)    
   I can only *suspect* that    
   these may have been similar to forklifts, for the purpose of stacking freight   
   then pushing them to any given area.  I *suspect* they may have had a type of   
   weight limit, such that the ones *with* the special corners may have been able   
   to carry more    
   weight or perhaps glide across the floor more easily.  There was one [other?]   
   guy in the dream who seemed a bit between chastising and joking, remarking   
   that the dreamer hadn't done a single thing [for some period of time.]  The   
   dreamer slightly wrankled    
   at that remark, possibly along the lines of there having been nothing to   
   actually do, or possibly that one does not work on one's lunch break, or some   
   similar emotion along the lines of "get off my back" (to put it *very*   
   politely) although it was pure    
   feeling rather than something said, along the lines of "Ha ha very funny" in a   
   sardonic tone.  Clarity 8 for sure.  It would've been nice to have inspected   
   those platforms on the floor a bit more.   
      
   Remote desktop scenario:   
   In the computer / digital device world ("IRL" so to speak— certainly moreso   
   in the computer era around the start of the millennium) there is a process   
   whereby a person at one computer (station) may "remotely access" the desktop   
   of another computer    
   station, designed primarily so that someone, say an administrator of some   
   sort, may simply view anything on the hard drive or the activity of another   
   user on the same network.  Please note, what's being described here is a *very   
   real* function, not    
   something "dreamt up" from within a dream.  HOWEVER, this dream uses that   
   setup almost precisely!  The dreamer was remoting into the station of another   
   individual (seemingly that of a female) and there was a slight cry of surprise   
   / concern from the    
   female.  The scene was in flux a bit, as the dreamer seemed to be having a   
   slight amount of difficulty with the "remote-in" process, as if the female's   
   destination (target system) was offering some kind of resistance, not unlike   
   that which might be    
   experienced by two employees / peers, rather than by an admin / user.  The   
   dreamer seemed to be describing the process to the employee, showing how a   
   "dial-up" technique was being used (in real life, a tree of icons displaying   
   units is typically employed,   
    and the admin simply clicks on a unit to initiate the remote session) and the   
   dreamer was appreciative (in much the same way that one appreciates an   
   attention-grabbing work of art) of the other person's *dial-in* number (like a   
   phone number) which was    
   being used to access her system:  it was a visual pattern which resembled   
   9I9-I9I-9I9I, although the font of the characters seemed a bit more classic   
   Germanic or "Dark Shadows" in style, the characters having {'} serifs of a   
   sort half-way up their    
   lengths, similar to this character: ╫  Clarity 8.  Oh yes, there was a scene   
   where the dreamer's station became more like a viewer box in the shape of a   
   portrait-oriented smartphone, which certainly created something of an ocular   
   sensation within the    
   dream itself, as if looking into the device would create a sense of   
   focus-strain upon the viewer's eye's lensing muscles.   
      
   Out on a boat:   
   The scene is of a guy (who looked quite a bit like me, perhaps in my 30s or   
   early 40s, possibly younger? It was hard to tell in that the view was always   
   at a distance of perhaps the length of a ski rope) alone in a boat that is   
   floating peacefully in a    
   cove, perhaps 10 to 15 yards from shore.  It's possible that he was fishing OR   
   napping (it wasn't 100% clear to the dreamer, and to be perfectly honest,   
   they're practically interchangable states at times) yet the dreamer was   
   definitely out in the water,    
   much like a water skier awaiting take off or after drop off, as there was no   
   apparent tension on a ski rope, although there *was* *some* sense of a rope or   
   line of some kind present.  Just as a very off-chance suggestion, this could   
   have been a dream    
   whereby *I* was the dreamer in the water, even though the dreamer in the water   
   was the astral body of the guy in the boat, nearly like stepping in on a   
   parallel version of me having an OOBE, which TBPH, I sort of get the   
   impression MANY dreams are like    
   that:  "we" (being people in "this" world) dream of our parallel lives in   
   "other" worlds, other universes, as a "dream link" is about the ONLY way one   
   might communicate with the life going on in another universe that exists   
   *inside* a black hole    
   physically located within "this" world.  Regardless, reality conforms to   
   thought, so to move on:  There was a type of interruption of the scene (of the   
   dreamer floating in the water outside the boat in which a guy was either   
   napping or fishing) then a    
   return TO that same view.  The dreamer in the water wanted very much to ask   
   what was going on, but did not wish to disturb the possibly napping person in   
   the boat, as the scene was so absolutely quiet / peaceful.  Clarity 8,   
   interrupted, then 8 again.     
   The only thing that was NOT directly "felt" was the water in which the dreamer   
   was floating.
