   OK, so I'm suddenly getting some partials returning to memory, one dealing   
   with the condition of the home of yesteryear at 3050 Asbury Lane— there are   
   so many fragments to this dream that I'll just mention it and move on.   
      
   The other dreams of more consistency involve:   
      
   The river:   
   The dreamer was at a position similar to above a river, similar to on a bank,   
   also similar to on a bridge.  To be clearer, the dreamer may have been on the   
   bank near the bridge, or on the bridge near the (closer) bank, positioned at   
   the left-side of the    
   scene, with the river flowing toward the bridge (and the dreamer) from the   
   right (aka "upstream.")  There appeared to be a small image of a guy floating   
   in a bubble atop the stream, but then that bubble popped and the man image   
   became that of a fish and    
   flooped down into the water.  There seemed to have been some discussion going   
   on, possibly between the dreamer and the narrator, regarding the need to get /   
   find "home," which at that point "felt" to be something of a distance   
   "north-northwest" of the    
   location.   
      
   The lady and the tiger?—   
   The dreamer was as if walking along and the scene involves a lady (to the   
   left) along with a critter with short, black hair (actually, rather more like   
   a leopard than a tiger) and the lady is advising that her tiger may be   
   dangerous to strangers.  The    
   dreamer is observing the forehead structure of the critter, which is much more   
   reminiscent of a pit bull (dog) than a tiger, however, what interested the   
   dreamer more was the "animal friendship" felt with the critter, and the   
   dreamer offers [his] closed,    
   right fist as something of a play-thing to the "tiger," as many a cat or dog   
   may playfully teethe a hand without attacking it, and as long as the human can   
   keep from fear or pulling away rapidly, such may easily avoid harm to the   
   human, but that's    
   another discussion.  Regardless, the critter did not "attack" the dreamer, and   
   the dreamer seemed to be offering the lady a form of invitation, to "come   
   along" to the dreamer's house for the evening, ostensibly for safety, rather   
   than for sex.  However,    
   the dream ended.   
      
   Now, it is *possible* that the lady and the "tiger" may have been a kind of   
   "sub-scene" of the the river, in that it may have occurred *near* the bridge.    
   It is *also* possible that the critter represents all the fears and trauma   
   which the female (   
   assuming her to be as a dream-form from a real life person) has accumulated   
   along the journey of her life to date.
