   There was a LOT of dream content, as those are just the "header notes" to help   
   me "remember" them after the morning wake-up phase.   
   As my laptop is running a partial dump to a remote drive (the incremental dump   
   prior to a fuller backup for June 21) I may as well spend this time typing   
   this up....   
      
   16:02 6/21/2021   
   Traversing property w/trees, vines, snakes (clear bag of X?)   
      
   The dreamer was in a "dark" place, trees spaced far enough apart (maybe 30' or   
   so?) as to prevent "clogging" / super-congestion, BUT the area UNDER all these   
   trees (the branches were well-trimmed above for easy travel between the ground   
   and the branches)    
   was "dark" (likely as a result of overhead canopy / shade) but this "darker   
   environment" apparently made it *perfect* for snakes.  And there were LOTS of   
   snakes:  not in knotts, but practically everywhere, and it wasn't so much the   
   slightly stretched,    
   near-diamond-like shape of their heads or their gray and black patterns that   
   bothered me so much as it was the "hatred" that could be felt (perhaps   
   "menacing" at lower levels) that seemingly provided the inspiration to the   
   dreamer to "get out of there."     
   ONE snake in particular was discovered as only the body was left remaining, as   
   the head seemed to have been obliterated at some point, and the dreamer   
   "tossed" that snake "away" to some degree.  (Remember, *especially* in dream   
   world, "the thought is the    
   same as the act.")  There was also some element in this area as of a clear,   
   plastic, 30–40 gallon trash baggy were dumping as if "unloading" it's trashy   
   contents onto the ground.  The dreamer "exited" / the dream ended.  Gotta be   
   clarity 7, but it was    
   very nearly as if there could have been a "conversation" with those snakes,   
   other than there seemed to be little sense / "point" to it.

   Caramel (gold filled?) donut:  Some guy (sort of a 20s-40s type fella,   
   possibly with a "Western" flair, appeared to be filling a donut full of molten   
   gold, then referred to it as "caramel" (or as some folk call it, "carmel.")   
   Somehow the dreamer obtained    
   the donut (as if it had been given rather than taken) but felt somehow that   
   "eating" it would be improper in some manner.  Even so, the donut appeared to   
   start to "dissolve" as if it had been soaked or were soaking in water.  I can   
   only think of this as    
   possibly a "good idea" that "has value" that *maybe* could be "better   
   marketed" or made better use of in some way.  I can only consider it as a   
   reference to my meme that I paste all over quora, that "the Donut *includes*   
   the hole; the hole *excludes* the    
   Donut" in the sense that "Unity *includes* duality; duality *excludes* Unity.   
   I've found this to be (basically) the "binary essence" of the Universe.  "God   
   is Love; love loves hate; hate hates love; Satan is NOT God."  At any rate,   
   I'd say this was also    
   a "clarity 7" type dream.

   Kitten (in water, Tom licking)   
   Part of my "outside excursions" today (IRL) involved a drive to MTSU and other   
   parts of town, looking for a bubble-lined LARGE envelope in order to re-ship   
   something that came to this address by mistake (and was opened up) rather than   
   being shipped to    
   the address to which it was intended.  (Whenever one orders something online   
   to be shipped elsewhere, BE CAREFUL!!)  At any rate, PART of this excursion   
   included coming BACK towards home, following behind / alongside / passing a   
   "P.A.W.S" van ("dog    
   catcher") which reminded me of this dream note I'd jotted down early in the   
   morning, so here's the dream:   
      
   The dreamer became aware of a kitten that, for some reason, had its head in   
   water, and the dreamer was wondering WHAT on EARTH could that kitten be doing   
   with its head (face) in WATER? So the dreamer "lifted" the kitten's head up,   
   face out of water, and    
   began to check to make sure that it was still alive & breathing.  At that   
   point, a male Tom (yellow tabby) began the licking process that one sees momma   
   cats do with their kittens all the time, or that cats of any age will do to   
   groom themselves or    
   others in their cat-clan.  As the Tom seemed to have the kitten "well in hand"   
   (well taken care of) the dream ended (Clarity 8.)   
      
   As I was following that P.A.W.S. van today, my heart started going out to all   
   the rescued kittens in the world, and wondered if maybe that (lady) driver had   
   a kitten in HER van at that moment?

   MTSU "review" / broken upstairs ladder / some guy with an 18-wheeler   
   (w/trailer) / "gal" in hallway / escape from bldg, running outside   
   This is a bit of a LONG series of elements which seem to be centered around a   
   "common theme," so here goes with a kind of "weaving together" in order to   
   "form a narrative / story":   
      
   The dreamer was at MTSU, at the KUC, but in a version that may be years to   
   decades past, where the "Phillips Bookstore" is on the BASEMENT floor,   
   opposite the US Post Office on campus.  Back then, the P-BS was WELL LIT.  In   
   the dream, the dreamer was    
   looking around but there were LOADS of "stuff" HEAPED in sections on the   
   floor.  Not entirely at a "hoarder level" of mess, but neither was it in any   
   kind of orderly fashion as one would find in a better market place.  (Even BIG   
   LOTS and those DOLLAR    
   type stores at least have things in aisles on shelves.  This stuff was just in   
   islands of piled stuff, mostly books.)  Regardless, the dreamer was a bit   
   dismayed at the scene and decided to go "up a ladder" of sorts toward the 3rd   
   (upper) floor.   
      
   Now here, this much *really tracks well* with my adventure on campus today   
   (IRL) except that I found the Post Office *closed* (today and tomorrow) and   
   the Phillips Bookstore was GONE (someone told me it had moved to the new   
   Student Union building.)     
   Still, I felt compelled (IRL) to examine more of the building, and went up to   
   the 2nd floor (which hadn't changed *that* much) then on to the 3rd floor,   
   whereupon my knees started to ache just a bit (age...?) and I was thinking   
   back on how I used to RUN    
   up those stairs as the need arose, back in the day.
