   The road incident:   
      
   There seems to be a small convoy of two vehicles, one carrying a load of   
   moving stuff, as if from an exiting apartment or dormitory into a new   
   location, and certainly not so much that a van was required, but certainly a   
   pickup truck with a large bed,    
   although that particular vehicle was never "seen," as much as "felt," with the   
   load of material being the major focus.  The dreamer in this case seemed to be   
   in a *separate* vehicle, and there was some sense of jocularity from the lead   
   vehicle that the    
   dreamer's following vehicle was getting too far behind.  The dreamer "floored"   
   the accellerator, picking up major speed and passing the moving vehicle, along   
   a section of road very much like Greenland Drive, from the area *just east* of   
   the intersection    
   with Old Lascassas Road, to the area just *west* of that intersection (Old   
   Lascassas Road travels northward, at what used to be a T-intersection, until   
   MTSU built a parking lot on the south side of Greenland.)  The dreamer   
   practically passed the    
   intersection of Greenland and North TN Blvd. (later renamed "Middle Tennessee   
   Blvd" IRL) and was on the western side of the intersection when—   
      
   The scene switches to action taking place on a stretch of road similar to the   
   pre-bridge era of US-41 (aka NW Broad St.) and Memorial Blvd. (aka Hwy 96 aka   
   Old Fort Parkway) on the stretch of 96 heading westward from the US-41   
   intersection, along what    
   appeared to be the first tenth of a mile (if not less!) where there was a   
   *ripple* in the road (that's right, a RIPPLE!) almost as if the idea of paving   
   a road flat had never occurred to anyone.  The ripple ran in a North-South   
   direction (on an westbound    
   double lane!) so if anyone were to travel TOO quickly, well, the results could   
   be catastrophic.  Of course, going too slowly could also cause a problem, with   
   a vehicle not having enough inertia to push forward over the ripple.  But why   
   was there a ripple    
   there to begin with??  (That part made NO sense, but to continue):  What   
   turned out to be a female driver took her jeep a bit too fast and the vehicle   
   ended up spilled on its left side in the left lane (both lanes were westbound,   
   even though they were on    
   the LEFT side of the 4-lane, meaning this may have actually been in a   
   British-road-rules type of setting.)  The dreamer, however, seemed able to get   
   to the incident and hold out a red flag (or shirt, pulled up out of the mess)   
   and held it out using "his"    
   left, outstretched arm like a warning pole, so that all the coming traffic   
   would merge over into the right lane and thereby miss the accident.  Once the   
   section of traffic had cleared (leaving something of an opening gap) the   
   dreamer went to help the    
   lady driver get up and "sorted" as they say in Britain, and to recover some of   
   the spillage strewn upon the road.  There was some smaller object, similar in   
   size and feel to a wallet, but there was also a very large object, similar in   
   size to a hubcap,    
   except that it was clearly a law enforcement officer's "badge."  The size of   
   this thing seems to be between a hubcap, and a standard "shield," carried by   
   most officers in America.  At any rate, the dreamer went to retrieve the lady   
   officer's shield (   
   round, reflective silvery, at least 5-pointed star shaped, possibly 6 sided   
   star, but definitely having some type of "SHERIFF" or other "BADGE"-like word   
   on it.  Quite visible & readable in the dream itself, but semi-evaporated by   
   now) when that    
   particular segment of the dream (clarity 8, except for the ripple, which makes   
   0 sense) seemed to segue into a following segment:   
      
   The dreamer appears to have gathered the spillage from the jeep along with the   
   lady driver into something like a rest-room, part of a line of rooms (at least   
   two) along the left edge of the scene (the scope of view was limited)   
   apparently awaiting aid or    
   rescue of some kind, when out from the *adjacent* room two voices are   
   detected, one being the dreamer's female interest, and the other being that of   
   the"girlfriend's" girlfriend, who we'll just call "Sam" for the moment, around   
   age 20-ish, with short,    
   brown hair, nothing special.  Cute in a rambunctious sort of way, but   
   definitely the beta side of the dreamer's (alpha) girlfriend (who was   
   something of a cross between Beth and Gina {"BG"} but more "sensed" by her   
   aura than "seen") the dreamer was    
   looking right at Sam with a pressed-lip sense of "silence!" as if by not   
   saying ANYTHING Sam might actually get the message, to NOT say anything to   
   "Big Girl."  But she did.  Sam started up with something to BG, like, "Guess   
   who's in the room right next    
   to us?"   
      
   The dreamer was not about to be caught looking like the cat who ate the   
   canary, but started up instead with details about having just rescued the   
   victim from the road ripple incident.  Rather than raising a stink about being   
   in a room with an injured    
   female, BG immediately switched into rescue mode herself, directing bodies and   
   materials to be gathered up and taken to the nearest aid location (more than   
   just the "rest area" where we were— more like a hospital or E.R.)  That   
   dream ended, around    
   clarity 8+ / 9-.   
      
   11:26 AM 2/4/2021   
   This other dream has mostly evaporated by now:  something having to do with   
   being in a room inside a home (an "abode," possibly an apartment) where there   
   was the feel as if things were being gathered together for moving (likely   
   having something to do    
   with the previously posted dreams.  It's possible there were a LOT of segments   
   but they're being recalled in a non-sequential manner.)  One of the objects   
   involved a kind of scissors-type towel rack, with a kind of toy crib nestled   
   in its top, and what    
   seemed like an *ANIMATE* baby doll within the crib!  The dreamer felt   
   intrigued / curious / concerned about this animate doll, as it was barely   
   smaller than a real life human baby, yet seemed more durable / less flexible   
   (such as would be necessary for a    
   rough toddler's toy) yet capable of producing internal inertia!  The rack-crib   
   top began swaying, possibly from having been bumped, but seemingly more as a   
   result of the baby doll getting anxious over something.  Clarity 7.  That baby   
   doll was very odd    
   as far as dream elements go.  IF it were in fact representing an artificial   
   life source, THEN the clarity would've been around 8.   
      
   11:47 AM 2/4/2021 some odd dream involving auto parts, but that's all but   
   totally evaporated by now.
