   > The dreamer was in something like a glass elevator with an exterior view   
   (outside of the building) of something like a multi-level parking garage,   
   although there did appear to be daylight outside, of the overcas   
   /cloudy/possibly rainy day look to it.    
   The dreamer *also* appeared to be standing beside a small motorcycle, about   
   half-way between a mini-bike and a typical, small motorcycle. The dreamer had   
   both hands on the handle-grips, and used the right grip to rev the engine. The   
   rear wheel was either    
   elevated as if on a kick-stand, or *possibly* the gear was simply in neutral,   
   but the dreamer had the impression of the rear wheel being "off the ground" so   
   that IF the rear wheel were spinning, the bike clearly wasn't going anywhere   
   inside the glass    
   elevator. Dream clarity 8+ to 9, although it ended with the dreamer pondering   
   "What next?"

   > This was such a high clarity (10-) that afterward, I had to go back and   
   determine that it HAD been a dream. I "was myself" in my bed in my bedroom,   
   where there was plenty of light (I have a westward-facing window that fairly   
   well illuminates the whole    
   room most of the day.) Sadly, what is about to be described is largely exactly   
   how I "interact" with my bed: As a single guy, I have no real "need" to "make   
   it" every day. About the only time I *do* make it up is after the sheets come   
   back from the dryer,   
    and even then, only if I'm in a particularly "good" mood. The idea is that by   
   simply fluffing the sheets over the mattress, and keeping the "leading edges"   
   aligned / together, I've got the cover sheet and a top quilt (heavier sheet)   
   all free and flowing    
   for me to "wrap up" in them "as the Spirit moves me," so to speak.

   getting up around 11-ish, which means (like today) I typically have my   
   breakfast and morning comics & crossword puzzle & Sudoku (& toilet process)   
   finished before she gets up,    
   although I may be eating breakfast or still working the paper on occasion, but   
   that's just to help understand that the "embarrassment" of an EMHO is   
   practically non-existent. Even IF such a thing were to occur, I would take   
   steps to ensure that it was    
   NOT obvious before getting out of bed, like saying "good morning" to my dog,   
   or thinking of things to do later in the day, etc., things designed to help   
   that early morning "tumescence" disappear, or even use the elastic of my   
   underwear to "hold it firmly    
   in place" in an upright manner, so that the T-shirt "covers" the condition   
   until after I can get to the toilet to let the overnight's bladder   
   accumulation drain.    
   >    
   > Now sure, you (the reader) likely do not care about such biological issues   
   and personal habits, but it helps to understand the nature of the "dream of   
   self in bed"— The dreamer's bedroom door was wide open, meaning anyone   
   walking down the hallway (   
   typically north to south, in order to get to the living room) could *easily*   
   turn one's head to the right, catching a passing glance of the bedroom,   
   especially the bed laid out in front of the western-facing window. And in the   
   dream, such a thing    
   occurred. It was my mother, only she appeared as if in her 40s or 50s, whereas   
   I felt as if I were in my teens, and sure enough, the EMHO was a factor, as   
   only a top sheet was present (not the covering quilt) and the dreamer was very   
   much concerned that    
   an emho may have been creating a "tent effect", which again, some guys would   
   likely be "proud of" but for me, it was more of a sense of *possible* personal   
   embarrassment. Fortunately, mothers just move on down the halls and don't   
   bring up such matters,    
   and the dream ended.

   > This was *again* a VERY realistic type dream, wherein the dreamer (again, in   
   the "feel" of "myself") was outside in the front yard, facing (eastward) the   
   street (which runs basically north-south) basically "minding my own business,"   
   when some guy    
   interrupts the dreamer's thought(s) with a word or two of alarm, regarding   
   "smoke" as in [coming from the kitchen] (or something like that.) This did   
   alarm the dreamer, and "I" turned toward the house, half expecting to see   
   smoke coming from the kitchen    
   area. And although there was a rather dull, low-sounding, repetitive klaxon   
   (nearly gong-like) going off, the dreamer did NOT notice any flames, and only   
   "half-way" imagined there being any smoke, as the dream suddenly ended.   
   Clarity 9+.

   plan on file with the local funeral home.) I debated acting out of concern for   
   her, and getting my    
   "day" started early, but decided instead to go back to bed (as I often feel   
   "sleepy" as if a dream blanket is descending upon me.) I figured, it was   
   likely better to sleep soundly than to wake furtively. Speaking of which, I   
   feel the need for a mid-   
   morning nap coming on... 11:49 6/5/2021

   > The dreamer was in a checkout line at a store, similar to a large ticket   
   item store, such as either Wal*Mart or Home Depot or Lowe's, where larger   
   items could be brought through the checkout lanes. Not entirely sure *what*   
   was being bought, but it had    
   a *high* price tag. The only catch was, the dreamer could *buy* the item full   
   price (let's say, $2000 for example, although the exact prices in the dream   
   eluded me in the dream itself, so this recall is even a bit hazier, but the   
   principle is being    
   expressed) but had the option of only paying $1000 now, which the dreamer   
   [*basically*] thought, "Hey, why not?" and went ahead and paid the $1000 down.   
   Before the dreamer had fully exited the checkout lane, but as the next   
   customer was approaching to    
   address the cashier, the dreamer basically spoke up to confirm when the   
   balance would be due, to which the cashier replied something to the effect   
   that the later payment would be (roughly) $1500 rather than the $1000   
   expected.
