   Last night was a "pink super-moon", if that means anything to anyone.  The   
   horizon was cloudy as it arose, so it wasn't until a few hours later that it   
   was plainly visible, and by that time, if there had been any "pink" tinge to   
   its rising appearance,    
   that was gone, but the light it reflected WAS rather bright!

   Strange "dream-like" narrative on the term "creeping thing" from Old Testament   
   "Genesis," that anything that *moves* in a dream is representative of a "life   
   force," but that wasn't exactly "swallowed" as a legitimate answer:  that   
   something that moves *   
   may* represent demonic intent (if dark / hollow) OR *may* represent angelic or   
   divine intent (if light) but *that didn't exactly "track" as well:  rather,   
   "judge NOT" and merely observe that whatever is moving is moving.  Whatever is   
   dark or hollow is    
   dark or hollow, and whatever emits light emits light.  After all, there are no   
   such things as "good" or "evil," merely action and consequence, with some   
   degree of purpose and direction, or lack thereof.  Clarity barely 3, possibly,   
   as there was nothing    
   but a dark shadow movement (such as a slug) and the term "creeping thing"   
   heard.  The rest was mostly cognitive processing.

   Dream before waking / while waking:  There was also this female voice asking   
   me if I knew where the word "loo" (a British toilet) came from, and I began to   
   reply that it had something to do with British military vehicles that were   
   "splashed" by water in    
   France (clarity audio only.)  So just for grins and giggles, I looked it up   
   just now (IRL) and found at etymonline.com/word/loo that the word comes from   
   "lavatory," 1940, but perhaps 1922 (based on a pun of Joyce's); perhaps   
   [Dictionary of American Slang]   
    from French lieux d'aisances "lavatory," literally "place of ease," picked up   
   by British servicemen in France during World War I. Or possibly a pun on   
   Waterloo, based on water closet.

   Dream *before* dream before waking:  it was like watching a YouTube video on   
   "how people trick others" (although "bamboozle" is possibly a better word   
   here) so the camera perspective was "steady" as if mounted from an upper   
   corner of a short lobby.     
   There was a bar of sorts to the right, a short row of seating on the left, and   
   an open door or "egress" to the outside:   
      
   pile zone plus Main entrance:   
   =====ppppp====0000=====   
   E=======================   
   E======================B Bar   
   E======================B   
   =======================B   
   S======================B   
   S======================B   
   S=======================   
   ========================   
   Camera perspective   ^^^   
      
   In this little chart, we see a "pile" (p) where a collection area was being   
   maintained (I'll get to that in a minute) and the 0000 open area where the   
   outside traffic (customers) entered into the pub— and yes, this was a "pub"   
   as I  (the dreamer)    
   recall hearing it being referenced.  Notice the row on the left (E) marking   
   the area of "egress" (to an outside courtyard-type area) and the row of (S)   
   indicating where there were at least 3 stools present, average height (not   
   those tall bar stool types.)   
      
   A voice-over narrative occurs, explaining how the 3 (or 4?) people in the   
   seats were strategically / psychologically located, with a guy, a gal, and a   
   guy, but the gal was wearing cork-style platform sandals, exposing her   
   otherwise bare feet.  Her legs    
   were casually stretched forward, showing off her (somewhat) bare feet, which   
   was the centerpiece of the whole "trick" / deception:  When guys would come   
   into the bar, they'd see this "line of people waiting" and *instead* of going   
   up to the bar, they    
   would "shrug off" their street cloths (expensive shirts, ties, jackets, shoes,   
   socks, etc.) and head on out to the open courtyard area.  There was actually a   
   phrase from the voice-over narrative explaining that this is a simple way to   
   "go shopping" or "   
   pick up free stuff" or something to that effect:  By placing the 3 stooges at   
   that location, they would psychologically "trick" the incoming folk to shuck   
   their stress clothing and head on out to the open area, *primarily* by the   
   observation of 3 (or 4)    
   people sitting ("waiting") doing basically *nothing* whereas the incoming folk   
   were there to blow off steam / party / hang loose / relax & chill, what have   
   you.  The woman's prominently displayed (nearly) bare feet are what   
   "triggered" them into "   
   unstressing" and dropping all their stuff over in the pile (p) near the door.   
      
   The next scene is of the 2 (or maybe 3) guys having sorted THROUGH all that   
   piled stuff, and forming neatly sorted stacks of shirts, shoes, and so forth,   
   with the intent to simply harvest the haul and leave.  EXCEPT:  the NEXT scene   
   is of some "bobbies" (   
   British law enforcement) taking them into custody and dealing with some kind   
   of language barrier.  The bad guys seemed to have Germanic speech patterns,   
   trying to use English, and eventually only coming out with the word "mercy"   
   (as in "have mercy"    
   rather than the French word for "thank you.")  There is an *assumption* here   
   that what was being portrayed was "theft jihad" or the "kleptocracy" principle   
   of Islam, but again, that's only an ASSUMPTION, as there was no such obvious   
   accusation being made.   
     The perps were simply being arrested for some form of graft or conspiracy to   
   steal or such.  EoD, but clarity 9 pretty much the whole way through.  The   
   dreamer's perspective was from the ^^^ position indicated in the chart above   
   *except* for the last    
   scene where the perps were being arrested against the bar.  In that scene, the   
   perspective was as from between the (S)eats and the (E)gress, aimed toward the   
   (B)ar.
