   Attic ladder w/other exit(s):   
   The dreamer is inside something akin to the framework of a house under   
   construction (standard home using wooden 2x4 frame / walls) or at least that's   
   all I can recall of the dream scenario.  It had that very wooden color /   
   lighting to it (if you've ever    
   stood inside a house under construction, this is super-evident.)  There   
   appeared to be various exits (or at least "openings") to the outside, as the   
   dreamer had a sense of a window or door portal (reserved area / opening within   
   a framework) off to the    
   left, possibly 20' away or so.  The attic opening was visible in such a way   
   that the dreamer was able to "pull down" a ladder structure which seemed made   
   of white plastic, although in real life, such attic structures are made of   
   wooden slats, so it's    
   possible there may have been a lighting or clarity issue of some kind within   
   the dream itself.  The dreamer climbed up the ladder (which was more a matter   
   of "will" than of "effort") and noted the view from above, that being of   
   looking out as it were *   
   over* the frame of the roof, such that open skies were visible in all   
   directions.  Note:  this morning, the skies in real life are mostly overcast   
   due to the entire region (of the South-central Tennessee / Alabama / Georgia   
   area, etc.) being under a    
   rainy low pressure system.  I even saw a single flake of snow drizzly falling   
   outside my window this morning.  If one is personally familiar with the   
   appearance of snow-laden skies, this is the type view seen by the dreamer,   
   looking out over the rooftop    
   of the attic.  The lighting in the dream vs. the lighting outdoors at this   
   moment are *nearly* identical!  End of dream, clarity 8+/9-  (sure, the skies   
   were nearly life-like, but the lack of clarity regarding the actual view   
   inside the house, and the    
   attic steps, bring it down slightly from a solid 9.)   
      
   Batteries going out on at least 3 devices:   
   I took notes this morning in writing (of the dream subject lines / titles) but   
   all I can recall of this one is that at least 3 devices failed to operate due   
   to dead batteries, or at least ,that's how it seemed in the dream.  The   
   dreamer was seemingly    
   outdoors, similar to the back yard, possibly using outdoor maintenance items,   
   similar to a battery-powered weed whacker or possibly a 2nd device, possibly a   
   battery-powered mower, TOTALLY unclear, but the 3rd item seemed certainly   
   hand-held in size,    
   similar to a disc sander (or possibly grinder) with a very bristly type brush,   
   suitable for knocking stuff off of brick walls, or possibly stripping wall   
   paper, or flaky paint off of a fence, etc.  The dreamer had the sense of   
   putting down the 3rd item,    
   not wishing to incur possible damage by picking up another item and possibly   
   finding its battery power drained as well.  Clarity 6.  The description of the   
   1st two items are purely from a conscious perspective, while the description   
   of the bristle brush    
   is half-recall / half-conscious perspective.   
      
   Sleeping in chair in street:   
   The dreamer experienced the sense of dozing in a chair (sort of a folding   
   chair, similar to the chaise-style wide strip style of the 1960s) located in   
   the MIDDLE of Scottland Drive, facing Greenland Drive (south) as if awaiting   
   the passage of the mailman.   
     There came a point within this "napping in the middle of the street" dream   
   when someone *did* seem to pass by, as if to somehow acknowledge the   
   importance of the message the dreamer had to deliver.  There was some kind of   
   question spoken aloud, such as    
   "Were you sleeping here *all night* to make sure I got this?"  While that may   
   not be exactly verbatim, it's *very close* to what I can recall at this   
   point.  Dream ended, but surprisingly at least a clarity 7, despite the sense   
   of napping / snoozing all    
   night in the middle of the street.   
      
   10:59 AM 1/8/2021  (these time stamps only indicate the time at which I'm   
   writing up the recollection.)   
      
   Dad / car / takeoffs:   
   The dreamer (who seemed very much like myself) was in a kind of 1970s muscle   
   car, similar to a forest / dark green Thunderbird or possibly an "El Torino"   
   (if ever there was such a car.)  The car had a *very* powerful engine under   
   the hood, similar (I    
   imagine) to a Dodge 440 Interceptor, but hey, I'm in NO way an expert on car   
   engines!!  The point is that it had *punch* on take off (aka "torque" AND   
   horsepower!) and the dreamer made at least two small starts, practically   
   tests, when the dream seems to    
   center on the location of a gas station (what *originally* was a Phillips 66   
   *service* station, now a convenience mart IRL *with* gas pumps) at the corner   
   of Greenland Drive and TN Blvd.  The dreamer (much like myself) seems involved   
   with a guy similar    
   to my father, only a version similar to age 30, with the vigor of that age and   
   dark(er) hair.  I think my dad maintained his darker hair (IRL) until perhaps   
   his 60s, but that's more a sense of personal memory than actual fact at this   
   point.  He passed on    
   back in May of 2006, so my memories of him are starting to acquire the   
   coloration effect of "time."  Regardless, the Dad-figure in the dream seemed   
   content with allowing the dreamer (behind the driver's left-side steering   
   wheel, in the front seat, more    
   like a bench seat rather than a bucket seat) to continue at will, almost as if   
   to say "I'll be here when you come back for me," but that wasn't clearly   
   expressed, at least, my recall of that sense is more mental than to claim "he   
   said—." I recall a    
   third punch of the gas pedal, as if heading out of the parking lot onto   
   Greenland, when the dream ended. Clarity 8-ish.
