   Baby bombadier?   
   The dreamer was walking just outside of a narrow sidewalk running alongside a   
   building on its left, a sidewalk with a kind of restraining rail to protect   
   pedestrians from the street, not unlike an estate-type variation of a horse   
   fence (bottom straight    
   slat, criss-crossed mid-slats, straight top slat, perhaps with a top [flat]   
   rail) and yet the dreamer was no ON the sidewalk, but walking forward along   
   the left side of the street (as if headed north.)  For no apparent reason, a   
   toddler-sized baby comes    
   through the fence crosses and bounces against the dreamer's legs, which was   
   something of an enlightening surprise / moment of joy to the dreamer.  Any   
   *reason* for why this baby should be bombed through was unapparent, however,   
   the child's hands, arms,    
   and legs worked very proactively in the sense of climbing / bouncing between   
   various objects, such as the sidewalk and the building.  There was *likely*   
   some transition such that the dreamer managed to direct the infant onto the   
   sidewalk, but that's    
   simply something that has to be inferred, as it is not clearly recalled   
   exactly how and with what the toddler was "bouncing around."   
      
   In a somewhat more placid dream, the dreamer is at a section of Scottland   
   drive that runs between the intersection with Greenland Drive (to the south)   
   and the T-intersection with Whitehall (to the north-east.)  However, due to my   
   childhood lifetime (IRL)    
   in the neighborhood, Greenland is always perceived as "up the street" because   
   the neighborhood was originally a closed-loop, and the north end of Scottland   
   was seen as "down the street" because it literally slopes downhill for the   
   last 3 or 4 houses    
   where it dead-ends.  However, in the dream, the dreamer is at a section of the   
   street which is normally only accessed via bicycle (in my youth) or by car   
   (later in life) (IRL) because, even as a child, the only reason I would ever   
   walk along that part of    
   the road would be to turn right on Greenland to go to school, but even then,   
   I'd almost always prefer walking across the field (the hypoteneuse) thus   
   bypassing that section of the street.  So being stationary in that section of   
   the street in the dream    
   was a bit unusual, to say the least, if not actually a unique dream segment.    
   In this portion of the street, the dreamer is examining a scattered amount of   
   debris in the road, at least one item of which appears to be a half-smushed,   
   dark green frog, the    
   upper half pointing as if ready to leap eastward across the street, with the   
   rear half appearing smushed as if by a passing car.  Of course, seeing as how   
   this was only a clarity 8, maybe 8+, the rear end of the frog *could* have   
   simply been poised in a    
   typical frog squat, preparing to jump.  The frog was only perhaps 2" in size   
   anyways, and as such the dreamer was a bit more interested in why there were   
   various items of debris scattered around that section of the road.   
      
   17:43 PM 1/3/2021 due to various interruptions in today's "routine," the rest   
   of the dreams from last night have "evaporated."
