|    2020-12-21 Monday (*Actual* Solstice!) (    |

   From: dicksilk@gmail.com   
      
   Today being the traditional solstice, tonight there being a super-conjunction   
   of Jupiter and Saturn (I saw them last night using binoculars) where they   
   appear as nearly a single spot in the night sky (in the south west) after   
   sunset (note where the sun    
   goes down: the Jupiter/Saturn duo will appear there as soon as it gets dark   
   enough after sunset. The sun, moon, and stars roughly follow the same arc   
   path across the sky, called "the ecliptic.") At any rate, I awoke this   
   morning (too overcast to see    
   exactly where the sun rose) but had soooo many dream elements that I had to   
   start jotting them down before I could get back to sleep— needless to say, I   
   suspect now I'll stay up and continue working on editing my 2nd book, "Thy   
   Will Be Done.")   
      
   7:18 AM 12/21/2020   
      
   SO many dream elements, I had to type them all down until 7:38 AM, so I could   
   go back and start writing them all down to where they'd make more flowing   
   sense:   
      
   The dreamer was pedaling a bicycle "left" (westward?) *at night* (on a *dark*   
   highway, duh!) seemingly slightly uphill, in left lane, realizing the need to   
   get into the right lane, WAY over, so as to avoid any oncoming traffic, and   
   concerned that the    
   bike apparently had no lights (front / rear) on it. The dreamer was trying to   
   change gears on what was likely a 15-speed (3 different sprocket-sized front   
   gears, but using the right gear lever was most likely activating the rear   
   gears) while steering    
   over into the right lane. While I do not recall that ride ending (although I   
   do recall the dreamer checking to make sure the highway was still empty in   
   both directions) the next scene involved observing a musical duet, where two   
   singers (roughly the    
   appearance of Elvis and Willie Nelson) were singing "On the Road Again,"   
   although the dreamer, standing just before these other two, would occasionall   
   "pitch in" on the lyrics he knew, which (as in real life) made something of a   
   very close Willie-Nelson    
   sound-alike (impersonation.) The dreamer was then "heading home" with a gob   
   of 45s (records) in their yellow paper sleeves, yet somehow handed them off to   
   someone else while walking along, then was somehow carrying something similar   
   to a fishing pole,    
   which was protruding forward rather than upward, inadvertantly bumping into   
   then hooking DJR's mom (who'd been walking ahead of the dreamer) in the nose   
   as a result of the bump. As she turned to face the dreamer, it was evident   
   that the left nostril of    
   her nose had been injured by what must've been something like a fishhook, only   
   she had an appearance a bit more like JAT at this point. Either way, the   
   dreamer started to make an abject apology when that dream ended.   
      
   Another "scene" involved the dreamer driving a car along the backside of an   
   apartment complex's parking lot area, headed toward the camera view (south?)   
   pulling a hard left U-turn (which had a great feel to it in the dream)   
   noticing a stopped car that    
   had been following (previously unnoticed) a few lengths behind appearing   
   slightly inconvenienced at the U-turn, but otherwise simply realizing that   
   people in cars do things just like people out of cars, I believe the word is   
   "non-plussed"— 20 years of    
   deliving pizzas (IRL) can build up that kind of acceptance / tolerance (peace)   
   in a driver. The apartment complex where this scene occurred was *similar to*   
   the Villager Apartments (condos IRL since around the early or mid 1980s)   
   mentioned recently in a    
   previous dream, as I can recall sharing a link to them in this forum (if I   
   recall correctly.) Oddly enough, those apartments (***IRL***) are situated at   
   the intersection of N. TN Blvd and ("New") Lascassas Hwy (although I doubt   
   it's been "new" since    
   somewhere back in the mid-'60s/early '70s) which has a funky Y delta   
   intersection, due to the highway joining TN Blvd right in the arc of where TN   
   Blvd bends left (NW) just a dozen yard or so before it runs off to the right   
   (due N) as N TN Blvd, while    
   the bend in the road becomes Clark Blvd. Hopefully this map link will show up   
   in the future: https://goo.gl/maps/otph18ru8cQmQw2L8 — The map shows that   
   there is also one of these funky Y intersections where N TN Blvd flows   
   (southward) into the    
   convergence between Clark and "S TN Blvd" (the TN Blvd route that leads into   
   Clark Blvd [headed west] is a major thoroughfare / juncture near MTSU— I   
   suspect most of the students driving along it each day don't even realize the   
   name change or why.)
