   Phone / Internet still offline.  However, we did manage to get our dish TV   
   functional after watching channel 2 all day on the aerial-digital antenna.  It   
   occurs to me that this was a bombing with the express purpose of wiping out   
   AT&T's *older*    
   communications equipment.  I *suspect* that China was unable to hack into a 4G   
   system, and that by getting them to upgrade to 5G, there's an improved   
   likelihood of China (or any State government, for that matter) being able to   
   spy on the American    
   citizenry (and industry/local & state government, etc.)   
      
   Dreams from last night / this morning are many:   
      
   Rabbit/kitten-like critters in a park:  The dreamer is moving slowly in a   
    /  grassy area, very much like a park.  There are small   
   critters which at first give off a sense of fear, such that the dreamer seems   
   as afraid of them as they must    
   be of the dreamer.  It *felt* like there were children about as well, and that   
   the dreamer had some sort of obligation (or innate sense) to protect the   
   children from the critters, at which point the dreamer became curious as to   
   what, exactly, were these    
   critters, and why should someone be afraid of bunny rabbits or kittens?  The   
   dreamer extended the right hand in order to "bridge the gap" so to speak, and   
   while there was a nearly forgotten softness to the feel of the rabbit's fur,   
   there was a slightly    
   more familiar feel to the kitten's teeth and claws:  kittens may playfully   
   "bite" and "claw" at a human hand.  While this is a type of learning form of   
   "play," humans often make the mistake of yanking the hand away from the bite &   
   claw, thus injuring    
   themselves by practically "ripping" their own flesh away from a kitten (or   
   teething puppy.)  The thing to do is simply *relax* and, finger-by-finger if   
   necessary, *extract* one's hand from the kitten's grasp or bite.  At any rate,   
   this dream ended, with    
   a clarity of 7 approaching 8, as the critters weren't *exactly* identified,   
   nor the location, nor the reason for even being there in the first place.   
      
   Marriage commitment mistake:  I wonder how many guys find themselves in this   
   position:  the dreamer had apparently made a verbal statement (hence,   
   commitment, hence, promise) to marry a particular female (not that she was   
   identifiable, but she was    
   specifically "Female N/U" (for "Nameless / Unnamed") and, while the dreamer   
   felt a kind of *draw* either towards or for the female, she was NOT the woman   
   the dreamer had in mind, whom we'll call "Female 1" (for the dreamer's true   
   choice, and I suspect    
   the actual phrase was akin to:  "She's not Gina") so the dreamer found himself   
   in something of a bind:  having made a promise to marry Female N/U while   
   holding Female 1 in his heart.  The dreamer actually felt as if being "ripped"   
   from this scenario, as    
   it presented an emotional / mental conflict.   
      
   Work location mash-up:  So much of this dream has evaporated, all I can recall   
   is the sense that it was like a combination between an automotive-related job   
   and pizza (or food) delivery (possibly a restaurant) of some kind.  After the   
   dream was over, it    
   felt as if two or possibly three of my real timelines had been literally   
   viewed simultaneously and merged into a single theme.  Apologies for losing so   
   many of the details in this dream, but personally, I'm more interested in the   
   way it seemed like 2 or    
   3 timelines felt as if they were running simultaneously through a single   
   thread.  It was originally at least a clarity 7, akin to only barely paying   
   attention to a TV show.   
      
   There were some others, I'm fairly certain, but again, evaporation seems to be   
   taking its toll on me this morning.   
   11:40 AM 12/26/2020  (I'll have to wait until service is actually restored   
   before posting this.)   
      
   NOTE:  16:15 on 2020-12-27: Nashville bomber identified as "Anthony Warner."    
   Have they certified him as "dead"?  Not yet clear, but seems likely.
