   There was one dream (in 3 main parts) which stuck with me as I got up this   
   morning.  I can only presume them to all be of one dream as they all had the   
   same sense of clarity (much like a particular film is shot in one type of   
   technology, which is clearly    
   distinguishable from a different type, such as CinemaScope vs. PanoramaVision   
   or B&W / color type cinematography (if you've ever watched the credits at the   
   end of a film, there is usually one credit that lists the type of camera /   
   film processing    
   technique being used, such as IMAX, DLP, etc.)  Now as to whether or not these   
   3 scenes form a cohesive story or not is most likely based upon any   
   interpretation given:   
      
   Makeshift Morgue:   
   The dreamer is in a room with the feel of being in a small county Sheriff's   
   office or possibly a room in a public library, where bodies (possibly in bags?   
   unclear) were arranged on (possibly makeshift or folding type) tables, as if   
   they were simply there    
   because regular procedures either did not exist or were not set up to handle   
   such an incident (giving the impression that maybe 1 or 2 bodies at the most   
   were ever processed, never before a group as large as 4 or 5.)  At the time in   
   which the scenario    
   was taking place, there was not yet any sense of rhyme or reason as to why the   
   bodies were there, but there was a sense that an investigation needed to be   
   started in order to answer such questions.  Clarity 8.   
      
   Roadside Disposal of Unwanted Idiots:   
   The view was from the perspective of being on the "near side" of a wide   
   highway (4 lane, or at least *very* wide, *without* a meridian) while on the   
   "far side" of the roadway stood perhaps 2 guys, each guy promoting a female to   
   stand in the middle of the    
   road in the way of what would eventually be on-coming traffic (the lanes   
   appeared clear at the moment, except for the two gals standing *in* the   
   road.)  There was the definite sense that the guys (or perhaps "pimps," if you   
   will) were deliberately    
   placing the females out there for the purpose of having them hit / run over /   
   killed, even though there was ALSO the sense that the women were standing   
   there out of some ignorant form of blind faith, or possibly having been   
   brainwashed / misled into    
   thinking they were there to "stand up" for whatever inane idea(s) their guys   
   had placed in their heads.  This was clarity 8, however, there's a fragment of   
   a scene with a lower clarity, possibly 6 or 7, having something to do with a   
   guy standing in a    
   lane as well, with a sense of his leaning forward against an oncoming truck   
   (possibly a semi) or bus, as if his will was being tested against that of an   
   oncoming mass.  While the dream scene did not reveal the outcome of that   
   split-second view, the fact    
   that the dream *ended* at that moment gives me the suspicion that whatever   
   "dream vehicle" that guy represented did not withstand the force of the   
   oncoming dream-truck-vehicle.  There's a sense that at the moment of one's   
   death, one's conscious view    
   becomes that of a 3rd person objective viewer.  I can't say that for a fact,   
   but it does seem to appear that way.   
      
   Replacing the Dumpster:   
   In this scene, one of those long, rectangular, metal dumpsters (the kind used   
   for newspaper recycling with hatches built into the slanted upper length of   
   the container) was being "serviced" by some country bumpkin (think of "Bubba"   
   as an archetype) who    
   appeared to have the bin attached by possibly a tow cable to a crane, causing   
   the bin to angle upward at about a 45° angle.  The bumpkin ("Bubba") somehow   
   slid *underneath* the upraised bin, and the bin (of course) dropped downward   
   from above him,    
   although there appeared to be an angle along the length of the bin on the   
   *underside* as well, along with a straight edge (like a curtain) running along   
   the outer wall of the bin, such that as the bin dropped down, Bubba fit neatly   
   inside the space    
   created by the shape of the bin itself.  The dreamer was wondering how Bubba   
   was going to extricate himself from this mishap when the dream ended, so   
   Bubba's "end" is certainly in question here.  DID he ever make it out? or was   
   the idea of a space    
   beneath the bin merely there to lull the dreamer into a false sense of comfort   
   regarding the scene?  Clarity 8, for the most part.

   For whatever it may be worth, I gave David Young a signed copy of "Thy Kingdom   
   Come" this afternoon.  Not sure what (if anything) will become of that, but it   
   needed to be done, so it was.
