   A bit late today: I awoke around 8:30 AM for long enough to process some   
   Sudoku and a crossword puzzle and start a pot of coffee, but during this I   
   recalled an odd dream about a full moon setting in the *east*— that part   
   didn't actually "occur" to me,    
   only that as I recalled the setting, it appeared to be out my kitchen window,   
   which *faces* east, where the full moon may be seen rising if one happens to   
   be there at the right time of day / evening.  Also, the horizon differed in   
   the dream from the    
   horizon viewed in real life:  In the dream, the distant horizon was level, as   
   if a view of a distant mountain range, OR possibly of hills covered with   
   trees, or simply a row of distant trees across a flat expanse.  IRL, the view   
   out of the kitchen window    
   is of the neighborhood houses on the east side of the street (which runs   
   north-south, maybe 5°–15° toward the west, but I do not recall the exact   
   measurement at the moment) and the moon has to be up a bit before becoming   
   visible above the opposite-   
   side house and trees.   
      
   Here's what DID catch the dreamer's attention:  The dreamer saw the moon   
   setting, but to get a longer view, went up on tiptoes in order to maintain the   
   view of the moon (as it WAS setting, even though the dreamer was unaware of   
   this setting "facing east"    
   instead of west.)  The dreamer had to again doublecheck the tiptoes, because   
   the view was beautiful enough to get a better look, and as this view was being   
   watched, the moon set *rapidly* below the horizon!  Upon waking, I had two   
   possible    
   interpretations jump to mind, despite the moon setting *in the east,* where   
   interpretation 1 may have had something to do with my elderly mother (who   
   sometimes has her "stronger" days and sometimes has her "weaker" days) but   
   THAT led to interpretation 2,    
   that what (actually, "who") I *really* need in my life is Gina, because the   
   moon rises and sets in her eyes.

   a different dream involved the dreamer at a type of half-office,   
   half-production type job, where the objective was to fill these 8½x11"   
   (possibly 9x12?) manilla folders with some type of "stuff."  Not taking the   
   time to actually identify the material,    
   it appeared similar to small slips of paper *about* the size of individually   
   cut out cartoons from the daily paper.  The dreamer was apparently supposed to   
   have produced a number of these, but only did about 5 to 5½ envelopes' worth,   
   as seen collected    
   in a cabinet drawer.  A supervisor (or possibly just a co-worker?) was there,   
   and the dreamer had this kind of feeling of apology, that such was "all I   
   could manage to get" done for that shift.  This little interlude was   
   interrupted by a klaxon (horn /    
   alarm / buzzer) going off along with those rotating gold lights like at a   
   K-Mart blue-light special, only the lamp(s) I saw produced golden light.    
   Either way, it was some kind of alarm, and there was a sense similar to   
   "FIRE!" or "SMOKE!" but no MAJOR    
   rush as if in a panic, more like a sense of urgency regarding an important   
   moment about to occur.
