   11:03 AM 5/3/2021   
   Traffic flow:  The dreamer is either in or adjacent to a stalled and long line   
   of cars, a "traffic jam"— a bit difficult to say, because my recollection   
   begins at a point *outside* of a vehicle, and whether the dreamer *exited* the   
   car or was already    
   outside of it is unclear (but sure, the possibility exists for "exited" to be   
   the case.)   
      
   The dreamer began to assess the problem, mainly, being a re-route of traffic   
   (likely due to construction of a main thoroughfare, likely along TN Blvd. in   
   front of MTSU) that was passing *through* a much older version (likely   
   anywhere from the 1970s    
   through the '80s— I did not catch any of the year / make / models of the   
   cars in the dream) of the MTSU football field / stadium (Johnny "Red" Floyd   
   Stadium and Horace Jones Field.)  The dreamer seemed to have a *solution* as   
   to *how* to make the    
   traffic jam "flow" more efficiently, which involved having the "stoppage"   
   occur on the SOUTH end of outside the stadium, rather than on the NORTH end,   
   as the "Feng shui" ["fung shwee"] just seemed to "work better" that way.  And   
   no, the term "Feng shui"    
   did NOT occur within the dream.  It was just the "feeling of logical flow"   
   ["geomancy," "divination by earth," "'ilm al-raml," "the science of the sand"]   
   that seemed to be present.   
      
   The dreamer needed someone to help hold the traffic at the North end where the   
   dreamer was, and got some slightly overweight guy (technically borderline   
   obese, but what some might call "pudgy" whereas others might consider   
   "stocky") with a very warm,    
   friendly, helpful demeanor to assist.  After addressing this guy, the dreamer   
   "took off" towards the South end in order to put the remainder of the solution   
   into place.  This wasn't the feeling of "flying" but it DID occur VERY swiftly!   
      
   Meanwhile, there was this "segment" / scene / image of an outline of a map of   
   the western (mostly residential) blocks (streets) whereby ALL this nonsense of   
   driving THROUGH the stadium could be averted.  Sure, it would require "detour   
   signs" to guide    
   people through the turns, but it *would* alleviate this straight-line traffic   
   *through* the stadium!  A point I nearly left out:  this traffic *through* the   
   (east side of the) stadium ran *along* the area between the field and the   
   bleachers, the elevated    
   area where the fans normally travel in order to get to / from their seats.  In   
   the dream, it seemed plausible for vehicles (cars) to travel one way along   
   this corridor, and as such, the traffic control system (a guy with a HALT sign   
   at each end) could    
   permit oscillating traffic flow, but only in one direction at a time, not in   
   full-two-way traffic flow.   
      
   I *suspect* it was during the review of the map of the western blocks that the   
   dream ended.  Funny condition, actual "stress" / frustration from the stagnant   
   traffic, a very real sense of "having a solution" *as well as* a logical OTHER   
   solution, but    
   with a clarity of perhaps 8+.   
      
   Meanwhile, IRL, I did quite a bit of subsequent stuff online, which will   
   explain the gap in this next timestamp:   
      
   12:20 PM 5/3/2021   
   Diamond heist:  The dreamer was *very much* like a super-smooth thief:    
   someone (like a law enforcement type) seemed to be "addressing him" as in the   
   initial encounter that leads to search / seizure / arrest, but the guy just   
   casually tossed out a cup    
   full of large ice cubes along with the diamond and claimed something akin to,   
   "Search me?  Where do you think it might be?" with the underlying premise that   
   no law enforcement dupe would *ever* think that a thief would *ever* toss out   
   such a huge diamond    
   (roughly larger than a walnut!) onto the ground with a sloshy cup of ice.   
      
   The "law enforcement" aspect of the dream seemed to go away, and the dreamer   
   simply recovered the actual diamond as easily as scooping up an ice cube (as   
   he had a *very* keen idea of where it had landed amongst the ice) and   
   proceeded into the next    
   segment, which appeared to involve a pillow inside a pillow cover, with the   
   diamond between the pillow and the pillow cover, on board a jet during the   
   passenger embarkation (loading) phase.  Clarity 8-.   
      
   12:26 PM 5/3/2021   
   House w/door jam issue:   
   The dreamer was inside a home much like the mobile home in my past at 3050   
   Asbury Lane, except that it seemed to be nearly a story above the ground (the   
   mobile home was nearly 2' above ground level IRL, but this seemed much higher   
   than that, at LEAST 4',    
   possibly as much as 8'!)  The dreamer was at the "back door" (the main method   
   of entry IRL to the mobile home on Asbury Lane) looking outside, specifically,   
   AT the door jam on the left, noting that it appeared rather "rotten," made of   
   a wooden beam, but    
   the dreamer simply applied pressure (with a foot, perhaps?) to the practically   
   shredded fibers of the beam and it straightened up nicely.  Not a *perfect*   
   repair, but one that seemed to return some sense of sturdiness to the   
   structure.  It was as if this    
   repair function could be repeated as necessary, OR the beam actually replaced,   
   but that would require more energy / cost / labor in order to accomplish.   
      
   12:31 PM 5/3/2021   
   Swinging on rope / paintball game / first aid kit:   
   AS IF the dreamer had somehow exited the location in the "house w/door jam   
   issue," "he" (this seemed very much like a "he" in this clip) found himself   
   out in the southern area of the property on Asbury Lane, only this was a bit   
   more level, flat, and open    
   than it was IRL back in the 1990s, yet relatively *close to* the same ground   
   elevation as the home (in the dream— Somewhere post 2001 IRL, the guy who   
   bought the property illegally FILLED that area and MADE it flat, but at a   
   higher elevation than was    
   evident within the dream.)
