      From: dicksilk@gmail.com              11:01 AM 5/3/2021       Traffic flow       Diamond heist       House w/door jam issue       Swinging on rope / paintball game / first aid kit.              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.)                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
