   8:18 AM 4/18/2021 Sunday:   
      
   Just a *quick* little catch-up on one from Saturday morning / Friday night:   
      
   I ("the dreamer") was in a small room, mostly of slightly off-white walls &   
   floor / ceiling, not that the whiteness or its off-whiteness was of any major   
   notice, other than the contrast of the darkness of the area behind the room,   
   as if a hallway or such    
   (or even a vast cosmos or abyss?) lay beyond. Inside this room were two   
   females, my (late) cousins Kathy and Linda (they were sisters, with Kathy the   
   youngest, who died suddenly earlier this year. Linda died some years ago, but   
   I'm thinking within the    
   past decade.) At any rate, I was having a conversation with them, but do not   
   recall *any* of it (in fact, I didn't *clearly* hear much of ANY of it even   
   during the dream event itself.) All I do recall is that they seemed slightly   
   excited (which could'   
   ve meant anything from "It's good to see you!" to "Pay attention to what's   
   coming!") as those two were never the "excited" type during any of my living   
   encounters with them. In the dream, however, Kathy was certainly the more   
   talkative one, while Linda    
   seemed very much in the background. I awoke, and only after a brief moment   
   did I remember they had *both* previously passed. And, having realized that,   
   I suppose it was only natural that they would've been a tiny bit surprised to   
   have found themselves    
   talking with me :-)   
      
   8:39 AM 4/18/2021 Last night / this morning:   
      
   I may as well start with the "flight" type dream: the dreamer (and this time   
   the "dreamer" was perhaps more of an "astral form" than "weighted") had a   
   weight upon the back, as if carrying a small child piggy-back. NORMALLY, in   
   real life, a hetero-type    
   guy such as myself finds the presence of a male directly behind (if not   
   "upon") the male's back to be *extremely* irritating / uncomfortable /   
   repellent, *however*, the presence of a female in a spooning position (the   
   female behind the male) feels    
   perfectly comfortable, while the presence of a child being piggy-backed is   
   more of a "joyful weight," such as was felt during this dream / astral   
   experience, as if there is joy in the weight rather than simply "weight."    
   Could it be that "joy has mass"?    
   :-) ?? What an interesting question to put to physicists and theologians :-)    
   After all, I've always referred to children as "Love incarnate."   
    At any rate, the dreamer was communicating with *someone,* presumably the   
   "joyful weight," as the dreamer was approaching a series of steps leading   
   forward, possibly with a *slight* downward angle, as the dreamer seemed to   
   "travel" down the steps at    
   around the pace of 4 to 6 at a time. The discussion turned to the dreamer   
   (most likely "myself" at this point) telling (someone) about how "I used to   
   take a half flight or more— sometimes an entire flight of steps— in one   
   leap, back in my youth" (   
   referring to my sometimes rapid descents from floor (A+1) down to floor (A) at   
   MTSU.) I *suspect* I picked up this "skill" from my younger days at   
   Reeves-Rogers Elementary, where I would occasionally sit on the top bleacher   
   (we had those pull-out    
   extensions that could be pushed back to a "wall") while the bleacher was in   
   the wall position, and *drop* from the top bleacher all the way down, roughly   
   7', possibly 8'. I'd do it a few times, testing the "spring action" of flexed   
   knees (rather than    
   stiff kneed) and feeling amazed at the fact that it was a relatively simple   
   act, despite the fact that it *appeared* fearful (or daunting.) So at MTSU,   
   I'd use a hand rail to give myself a slight forward catapult along with a   
   leap, and thus clear the    
   distance between the top of the rise and the landing (half a floor below) then   
   repeat the process at the turn-around in order to leap another half-floor from   
   the landing to the floor of the floor of my destination. I found that MUCH   
   easier (*and FASTER!*   
   ) than the "jog jog jog jog jog" bumping motion of taking individual steps.   
    At any rate, after taking the first "leap" across a number of steps, and   
   somehow signalling this memory to whomever (assuming it was the "joyful   
   weight") I (the dreamer) then took another "leap" only this time, the steps   
   had slightly more of a downward    
   angle to them, yet I landed easily and without incident. It was at this   
   moment that the dreamer became *nearly* lucid, as "I" began to travel   
   *horizontally* as if simply "floating" my way forward, when "I" (the dreamer)   
   realized it was easily possibly    
   to simply "fly" at this point, but the dream *ended* at that moment. Clarity   
   8 to 9, reaching 9+ right at the end.   
      
   9:04 AM 4/18/2021 Another *interesting* experience came after letting the dog   
   out around 6:30 AM and returning back to bed: This is the time when I'm not   
   "as deeply" asleep, so I began pondering the classic photon-thro   
   gh-the-double-slit-experment. For    
   those readers who may not be familiar with this, consider reading up at   
   wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment (or a simpler explanation at   
   discovery.com/science/Double-Slit-Experiment) or watching a YouTube video at:   
   youtu.be/Iuv6hY6zsd0?t=59) — At    
   any rate, I was wondering what the photon of light would *sound* like in this   
   experiment, and heard a single "plonk!" sound, somewhat like a xylophone key   
   (or bar) being struck, only it had an "electromagnetic" sound to (it rather   
   than an analog tone.)    
   The more interesting thing this was that the tone was NOT *perfectly* clear as   
   one would hear from a single stroke on a xylophone key, it sounded "split"   
   (yet single.) Very odd. If I had gone to the piano immediately after, I   
   could likely have told you    
   the pitch as well, but suffice it to say it was *around* the area of middle C   
   on a piano, not super-low like a 32' organ pipe or super-high like a piccolo.   
      
   9:25 AM 4/18/2021 Some of the "superstate" of Quantum Physics has also been   
   "playing" in my mind, and this one was more of a meditation before getting out   
   of bed: but: while contemplating my existence (reality) some years back, it   
   occurred to me that,    
   since "good" and "evil" are basically the "opinions" of others, therefore,   
   objectively speaking, I am *both* "good" AND "evil"— a thought which   
   actually brought me a sense of *peace.* (Accepting this thought with a deep   
   breath *still* brings a sense    
   of peace with it!) Then, of course, Jesus teaches us "Fear NOT" and "Judge   
   NOT" and "Resist NOT"—
