   From: dicksilk@gmail.com   
      
   Had a mid-morning nap, after having helped Mom through some breakfast (she had   
   a bit of my quiche I made for her) then she went to tackle some of her email.    
   (MUCH improvement here!)   
      
   At any rate, I had a dream that somehow there was someone staying in this   
   house sort of as a college renter.  There was also some activity on Facebook   
   that seemed to deal with one of the Gaither boys from back in high school.    
   The general gist was    
   dealing with the older son, but wasn't there a younger son?  And while the   
   names were a bit mixed up in the dream from what they were in real life, there   
   appeared to be an entry / response to the question *however* someone had   
   covered over the writing,    
   as if it were on a newsprint output rather than on a screen, but the dreamer   
   simply "scraped" the yellow-brown covering off the article to reveal an answer.   
      
   Then came some kind of audible discussion, as if two people were having a   
   dialogue on the topic.   
      
   Next, the renter seemed to want to keep unseen something that was going around   
   around "my" bedroom window, as if the (motorized) vacuum noise being heard was   
   meant to be kept "out of sight" for some reason.  The dreamer, however, felt   
   that something    
   improper (like a hidden electrical system) needed to be uncovered, and here's   
   where things start to get really "sketchy":   
      
   The dreamer is on a bicycle, around an area of town similar to Memorial Blvd   
   (northbound) where it approaches Northfield Boulevard (where Northfield T's   
   into Memorial, from the east.)  The dreamer appears to be retracing a series   
   of events, which the    
   dreamer's mother (appearing as a somewhat younger version of my mother,   
   capable of driving a car) appears to be following in her car.  They meet at   
   one point to review the first section of information, then the dreamer takes   
   off on his ten-speed bicycle,    
   headed to reveal what that second bit of information was about.  There was a   
   short section where the dreamer seemed to be "waiting" on the side of the road   
   for Mom to catch up.  There's also a scene wherein the car appears to be ahead   
   of where the    
   bicycle is, and the idea is to unlock the trunk and put the bicycle into it,   
   only that apparently doesn't happen:  "I" (the dreamer on the bicycle) was a   
   bit curious that by simply putting the bike into 10th gear, it appeared to be   
   powered by itself,    
   practically like an electric vehicle.  Just as "I" was noticing this, going   
   perhaps 30 mph or so along Northfield (headed east) when the "light" went out   
   of the dream, as if someone had simply turned all the light off.  The next   
   moment, the dream ended.     
   Clarity 8-, mostly.
