   12:10 PM 3/28/2021 Wal*Mart:   
   The dreamer starts off by entering the front doors of a Wal*Mart by use of an   
   actual *key*, rather than by means of the motion-detection device that   
   normally operates the door.  This may happen *IRL* typically on the evening   
   *following* Thanksgiving    
   dinner, when the store closes *and preps for* opening day on "Black Friday,"   
   but in this dream, it was "daytime" and it simply felt like the dreamer had a   
   key to the door *even though* the dreamer *felt* as if it was a key he'd   
   simply "kept" from a    
   previous time *as* an employee.  Once inside the foyer (that space just inside   
   the front of Wal*Mart where all the carts are kept) the door was (apparently)   
   locked with the dreamer *inside* the foyer, as there was a guy *outside* the   
   doors ("John Doe"?)    
   clamoring to get *in*, but the dreamer ignored him and continued on inside the   
   store.   
      
   There was a female dealing with something (akin to an assistant manager   
   performing some type of ascribed duty, such as inventory, accounting, or   
   possibly security) and the dreamer came up to her in order to convey some form   
   of information, *possibly*    
   with respect to the outer doorway being locked.  However, the dream ended   
   there, and I have no clue as to what kind of resolution or meaning this   
   possibly had— clarity 8-.   
      
   12:18 PM 3/28/2021 The Renaissance Fair:   
   The dreamer was at some type of outdoor event, in a field of sorts, with   
   people walking by, where one fellow addresses the dreamer as "M'Lord," and the   
   dreamer feels rather— can't quite think of a word here— by the person's   
   addressing the dreamer by    
   that title, *as if* "There's nothing "lordly" about *me,*" and pondering about   
   the usage of the word in return.  Was the person who addressed the dreamer   
   *also* a "Lord" in title?  Personal note:  I find the appellation of any kind   
   of title of "elevation"   
    akin to an exercise in duality, making it somewhat of an averse practice.  I   
   *suspect* this aversion may have directly influenced the "mind" of the dreamer.   
      
   12:24 PM 3/28/2021 The Beast:   
   Seemingly almost contiguous with the Ren Fair dream, the dreamer comes upon a   
   creature very much like an angry dog, but bigger, thicker, nastier, almost   
   like a cross between a dog and a giant lizard-pig.  It wasn't like part A =   
   critter A while part B =    
   critter B, but rather like one homogeneous critter, but with features slightly   
   resembling of other critters.  In a typical nightmare, someone may experience   
   "terror" at this kind of critter, and possibly run from it to avoid being   
   devoured, however, the    
   dreamer regarded the critter almost exactly as if it was someone's pet hound,   
   and quickly reached forth using his right hand and using the two fingers and   
   *perhaps* the thumb, "hooked" the critter *right behind* the animal's front   
   two "fangs" (or    
   possibly canines!) such that the dreamer literally had the "hound's teeth,"   
   and as long as that hound's jaw remained open, there was no actual threat of   
   the lower teeth coming up to bear pressure, and even if it tried, there was   
   certainly some room for    
   doubt as to whether they would actually close upon the dreamer's fingers.   
      
   Regardless, the dreamer had the "pig-lizard-dinosaur-hound" by its (front,   
   upper) teeth, and stood looking *directly into* the critter's left (mirrored,   
   opposing right) eye (from the dreamer's right eye directly across, into the   
   eye on the critter's left.   
   )  While this "examination" was ongoing, the *appearance* of the critter   
   seemed to "soften" just a bit.  If there had been a thick, rugged, leathery   
   exterior, it was now more slick-skinned, hog-like, and yet the critter still   
   seemed very much dog-like,    
   and although it appeared to be in an attack position, the dreamer was   
   "holding" the critter at bay as the dreamer continued to "look into" the eye   
   of the critter, as if to discern it's possible "meaning" or *anything* about   
   it that may be of any value.   
      
   The dreamer continued looking into / examining the critter through its eye,   
   and it was as if the dreamer was seeing into "inner layers" as if the critter   
   was actually creature X inside the body of X2 inside the skin of X3 inside the   
   shell of X4.  There    
   was practically a view of skull bone within the eye-socket.  The dreamer   
   realized that this was something of a "precarious" situation, but knew that as   
   long as the dreamer did not "fear" the critter, the dreamer held his own   
   position.  At this point, the    
   way the dream ended was likely just "ended," without the critter attacking, or   
   without the dreamer changing position.  Clarity 7+ on the symbolism, but   
   likely 8 on general clarity.  Those front *teeth* were fairly clear:  I   
   remember I used to play with    
   my own dog like this in real life in years past (likely Chrissy or Queeny, or   
   possibly even other dogs along the way) by simply holding them by the front   
   canines.  It *seemed* as if the critter may have been "respecting" the fact   
   that the dreamer was not    
   aggravating the critter, yet not afraid of it, either.   
      
   12:41 PM 3/28/2021  Morning "vision":   
   Although this was not an actual "in color" type dream, but more a kind of   
   "vision" in black & pinkish-orangish-white (the color one sees when one's eyes   
   are shut yet sunlight is coming in through the window) the dreamer noted what   
   may have been a kind of    
   "processional," where people were lined up along a road, and a sole figure sat   
   upon a dark object that moved along the road, much like the "Palm Sunday"   
   story as taught in New Testament type churches, where Jesus sits upon "a colt,   
   the foal of an ass"    
   and rides into Jerusalem.  As today *is* traditional Palm Sunday, so be it.    
   Clarity 4, barely above 3.  At least I could distinguish object J upon object   
   D in motion toward destination J, but all those variables have been "filled   
   in" according to the    
   teachings of the New Testament.
