   Earlier this week (around Wednesday?) I forgot to take my daily zinc pill (to   
   ward off covid) but I picked back up on every day since then.   
      
   Last *night*, however, I started feeling a tad "off" as if a fever were trying   
   to take hold.  I took the Nyquil generic Kroger brand along with some Dayquil   
   (daytime version) this afternoon.  The weather outside has been a gentle rain   
   ALL day long, and    
   as my window was open more than an inch, I slept until after noon, enjoying   
   the ambiance.   
      
   One dream in particular, however, caught my attention as "unusual" / symbolic,   
   certainly, having to deal with the dreamer in a kind of factory, having   
   something to do with the boiler / steam / generator, and these two, overhead,   
   LARGE exhaust pipes    
   putting out steam / smoke.  The dreamer consulted with someone over a   
   perceived error dealing with the overall system, that the thought was that the   
   boiler was "out" or something (very vague here) yet there was a very clear   
   image of a vertical, glass    
   tube with a chamber of water about half-way up, with a flame beneath it   
   (within the tube) and the ending view of the overall atmosphere of the room   
   being filled with mist / smoke / fog coming out of those twin, overhead   
   exhaust pipes.  Although there was    
   no "harsh" sensation such as would be noted by a carbon-type exhaust, the   
   dreamer had the idea run though his mind that "I need to get out of this room."   
      
   This afternoon, when I finally got up, I noticed a slightly feverish feeling,   
   and went straight for the Dayquil (generic.)  I felt it go though my system   
   like a blast of water soaking into a dry blotter :-)  So is this   
   covid-related?  I may never know.     
   But I do strongly suspect it's related to the slight fever of the morning.    
   Wish me well :-)
