   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.

   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+vvvvlinked+horns>bell) produced a   
   4-horn instrument (theoretically) playable by one person.  And although this   
   next bit wasn't *quite* as clear, I had the impression there was a *twin* horn   
   beside it, such    
   that the view was something akin to this:   
   lleb>====linked+horns (beside each other)>bells)   
      
   About the only thing that comes to mind in this regard is if somehow it   
   represents a) a new scale of music (16 tones) or b) a new form of computer   
   (possibly a type of quantum computer, but why so many processors seems a   
   mystery.  Sure, linking together    
   chips in a network leads to "faster / stronger" computer power, but....?)   
      
   game of improv:  There were a few youth (highschool, likely) involved in a   
   type of "game" where anyone could pick any subject and start an    
   mprovisation.  The only thing being, that those watching could ask the actor   
   any question that comes to mind    
   regarding the improvisation.  In an example given, a guy picks up a newspaper   
   and starts reading it aloud while walking forward.  This generated a follow-up   
   session of the observers asking questions regarding a) why the person chose to   
   do that act (   
   because it was simply how the Spirit moved him) and b) questions about the   
   story / article / whatever was just read aloud.   
      
   The dreamer (camera perspective) wasn't too much concerned over the content of   
   the article, but was feeling anticipation mixed with anxiety over possibly   
   going "next."
