   Had an *interesting* dream of a kind of "machine," and I can fairly well state   
   this is a dream which absolutely symbolizes "the machinery of today's world"   
   (of politics, religions, and belief systems.)  A female (rather Gina-like in   
   appearance) was    
   turning a simple crank (like the kind used to start the old Model T cars and   
   such) which was "driving" (turning / spinning) a labyrinth of black cables, as   
   if circular trains of thought (circular logic) were *as bands* (or "belief   
   systems") such as the    
   belts used on an engine vehicle.  ALL of these bands were in a machine,   
   appearing to be around 6' wide, maybe 3' high, and as the dreamer was viewing   
   this as if it were a display at a carnival show, depth was not visible.  These   
   (black) "bands" seemed to    
   represent "schools of thought," or even "sects" (or denominations) of all the   
   world's religions (or politics)— what might be simply described as "belief   
   systems."  The female appeared to be turning the crank in clockwise   
   revolutions, and as the crank    
   was on the right half of the machine, the "bands" on the right side were also   
   traveling in a clockwise direction, yet the bands were laid out in a woven,   
   figure 8 pattern (∞) so that as they wove through themselves at the center,   
   the direction of the    
   bands on the LEFT side of the ∞ pattern / machine were turning in a   
   counter-clockwise direction.  The turning stopped (or slowed down) such that   
   the dreamer was able to take a closer look at the bands, in an area just to   
   the right of where they cross-   
   wove, and there appeared to be a form of writing in white upon one of the   
   bands (this being what leads me to believe these bands represented "schools of   
   thought" of some kind.  IRL, car engine belts also have information in white   
   lettering upon them, to    
   help with belt identification and replacement.)  As the dreamer was attempting   
   to identify the writing on one of these belts, the dream ended.  Sure, it's a   
   "clarity 7" due to the massive symbology represented, but it was a VERY CLEAR   
   symbology, giving    
   it something closer to an 8+ clarity.

   There was at least one other dream (possibly several) regarding someone   
   helping someone else during a move process, or with getting from point A to   
   point B (involving the driving of a vehicle) and possibly something involving   
   animals.  I barely had an    
   idea of them upon waking, and even less now that I'm writing about them at   
   least 4+ hours later.
