   Flying with Schultz out of the airport:   
      
   There's a rather *wonderful* old TV show (from the early-to-mid-'60s) that   
   runs in syndication, named "Hogans Heroes".  One of the lead supporting actors   
   in that show was a heavyset actor named John Banner (IRL) who played the part   
   of Schultz, the    
   primary guard of the allied POWs.   
      
   In the dream, the dreamer was flying north, riding as a passenger in a jet,   
   similar to a 727, taking off *out* of an airport with Schultz (in costume,   
   being a German WWII sergeant's uniform, *in helmet!*) seated at the dreamer's   
   left, with Shultz at the    
   left window seat, with the dreamer to Schultz's right, on the aisle (although   
   nothing of the aisle or anything else to the dreamer's right was observed.)    
   The dreamer was pointing out the landscape outside the window during the   
   take-off, notably, "[That'   
   s my (former) property, on Asbury Lane.]"   
      
   Now In Real Life, there is no airport "south of the property" such that a   
   passenger plane would be "taking off" from that area.  There is, however, an   
   airport some miles to the east of that area (IRL) but it is only barely large   
   enough to land a 727 on a    
   *cool* morning, which in fact, one did land there back around 2002, according   
   to an article by Emily Heffter Emily (Heffter, Emily (May 6, 2002). "MTSU's   
   'classroom with wings' about to land". The Tennessean.) (I took my son,   
   Charles, to go see the    
   landing, live, in person, IRL.)  Clarity 9, except that the geography and   
   Schultz character are incongruous with real life, as John Banner died some   
   time back.

   The dreamer was with some other person (possibly female) in a place similar to   
   an outdoor environment, and normally I prefer to avoid ambiguity, but it *may*   
   have been indoors as well.  Location really wasn't the issue, as there was   
   something akin to a *   
   small ball of gas* that was free floating in the atmosphere.  Apparently the   
   objective was to "light" it (afire) and apparently it *got away from* the   
   other person, whereas the dreamer had something like a lit torch (like a   
   welder's pipe through which    
   fuel flows) that was used to light the ball of gas, following which the   
   dreamer kept [his] hand cupped so as to prevent the wind from blowing the lit   
   ball of gas into oblivion.  The only thing I can think of is that *maybe* the   
   lit ball of gas represents    
   an idea that has been "kindled" and is being shared (or merely "traveling")   
   "on the wind" so to speak.  Clarity 7 (symbolic) is about the only thing I can   
   think of regarding this.   
      
   And sure, there were likely other dreams, but they've simply evaporated beyond   
   the point of recall at this time.
