      From: dicksilk@gmail.com              9:40 AM 5/12/2021       Need to start up with a few from the past few nights, just now making their       way to the journal here:              Starting with:       The "Root" of the Bible: What very little I can recall of this (and that's       all I was able to recall) had to deal with a view of a root at the surface of       the ground, not unlike how a pine tree root may cause an issue for a lawn       mower, but— this root        was yellowish-whitish in appearance, basically "root colored," and there was       some type of narration regarding "the root of the Bible" being John 3:16, For       God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever       believeth in him should        not perish, but have everlasting life.              Well, that may well be considered the "root" by many, but the *summation*       point of ALL the Bible, of ALL knowledge, as best I can determine from my       perspective, is Matthew 5:44, where Jesus teaches us to "Love thine enemies."        After all, Love creates        Unity (tinyurl.com/ITTA-Topic-Ud) whereas NOT love (such as hatred) increases       duality. After all, lovers love lovers AND haters, because that's what lovers       do; haters hate lovers AND haters, because that's what haters do. Such is the       binary nature of        the Universe. Tinyurl.com/ITTA-BooleanMonotheism — I *suspect* this       perspective is what brought about the "root" scene. After all, everyone has a       "different perspective."              There was *some slight* activity "above" this root, a sense of motion       regarding a left-right shift in perspective, possibly some oscillation,       however, the view departed upward to the right.              10:03 AM 5/12/2021       car trip uphill to find location       frustration inside office trying to find working phone (and how to operate it)       finding some "mini checks" (about 4)              strange "series 4-valve trumpet-conglomeration"       game of improv       game of herding       packet of orthodontic rubberbands.              car trip uphill to find location: The dreamer is driving (left hand side) up       a rather steep hill (nearly 40°!) and actually uses the accellerator pedal to       gun the (internal combustion) engine so as to more directly reach the top.        The dreamer is        looking for a business, but sees a type of housing complex atop the hill, not       unlike an apartment complex. Still, sometimes such complexes contain       businesses, especially "home" type businesses. The dreamer seems to have an       idea of calling another        person for a precise address, but the action moves into the next scene:              frustration inside office trying to find working phone (and how to operate       it): Action takes place inside a set of conjoined rooms, like an office       suite, but more with that feeling of an apartment complex-turned-workplace.        There was a series of at        least 3 different telephones having a type of "initiation button," where the       button was pressed to turn the phone "on" or "off", *rather* than the       selection of different phone lines like in the 1970s/80s type office phones.        The dreamer was having        trouble understanding how to operate the phone, and tried at least 3 different       phones waiting to hear a dialtone. (It's possible that these may have been       "digital phones" like today's VoIP systems and didn't actually use *any*       dialtone.)              finding some "mini checks" (about 4): the search for a working phone seemed       to "give way" to the discovery of some "mini-checks" (best way I know how to       discribe them) being roughly 3/4" in length (1" max) by maybe ½" to 5/8ths"       and barely thicker than        a sheet of paper, more like a piece of plastic. At any rate, they seemed to       be checks designed for writing / assigning disbursement of funds. There was       some slight maternal element involved in this scene, possibly as part of a       last will or possibly the        mother was the boss in the office in charge of payroll (?) No idea.              11:04 AM 5/12/2021       strange "series 4-valve trumpet-conglomeration": A typical (modern) trumpet       has 3 valves, and with these 3 valves, can play any of the 12 half-steps       (11+octave, making a full, "chromatic" scale) necessary in order to play along       with any (classical,        traditional) musical work. However—              In this dream, the scale was not 12 half-steps, but 16 intervals (15+octave)       and to play this scale required a FOUR-valve trumpet, likely based upon the       binary / octal arrangement of:       0000 (all valves open) 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 (that's 8)       1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1111 (that's 15, +0000 = the octave.)       And yes, I heard an octave scale played using 16 half-steps.              But that wasn't the "odd" part: What was "odd" was the "amplification" of       sorts, achieved by linking 4 of these trumpets together, such that something       akin to:       lleb>vvvv+vvvv+vvvv+vvvv |
