   Dogs along street   
   Chest floating?   
   Following a driver.   
   Bejeweled cylinder cup on chain+...   
   Drilling a bolt / vision of “family” of/in light.   
      
   Dogs along street:  The dreamer was bicycling along a sidewalk when two small   
   dogs (bigger than Chihuahuas, about the size of “ragamuffins”) leashed   
   together as if with a strand of wire rope (maybe ¼” in diameter) roughly   
   2’–3’ in length,    
   and they began running along with the dreamer/cyclist as if that was their   
   routine, running 2’ or so ahead of the cyclist, to the right, as if they ran   
   beside each other like this often, even though there were different breeds   
   (possibly mutts) and    
   likely had different natural speeds, yet ran together as if they were a pack   
   (after all, they *were* wired together.)  The dreamer/cyclist began to wonder   
   if they were going to continue to run alongside indefinitely, which raised a   
   question regarding “   
   leash laws” and the like, along with the possibility of their risk of injury   
   such as around vehicular traffic.  To answer this questionable safety issue,   
   the cyclist came upon a *wall* (roughly 3’ high) at the end of a sidewalk,    
   such that all the    
   houses along the street (it seemed like a city street, not unlike the kind   
   with New York brownstones) which gave the dreamer the insight that, [Ah!  Any   
   pet owner could let their animal(s) out to run along the sidewalk (and narrow   
   strip of grass between    
   the buildings and the sidewalk, possibly between the sidewalk and the curb   
   wall) (and possibly their children, now that I’m typing this up) giving them   
   a safety zone wherein they would be unable to simply run into the street.    
   Larger animals would, of    
   course, need to be trained to NOT jump the wall, but chances are, not too many   
   people would have a large dog cooped up in a city street environment (unless   
   they were morons.)  At any rate, the dreamer was somehow crossing this   
   end-of-sidewalk wall (   
   possibly a gate) where the longer wall (along the street) made a right angle   
   (to the right) so as to end-cap the sidewalk area / pet zone, when the dream   
   ended.  Clarity 9.   
      
   Chest floating?  There was a scene wherein the dreamer seemed to be floating   
   upon his/her chest / sternum, which is a common “floating/flying” type   
   dream, although the destination was unspecific *other* than the thought that   
   finding Gina was on the    
   agenda, somehow.  The idea was also noted (possibly in *another* dream) that   
   learning how to “land” in flying dreams has always been something of a   
   challenge / issue.  Clarity 6+ / 8- (the 7 zone is for symbolic dreams.)    
   There were practically zero    
   details in the scene *other* than the dreamer’s awareness of the condition   
   of “chest floating,” which *nearly* prompted a state of lucidity within   
   the dream, but apparently stayed in the “sleeping” / subconscious zone.   
      
   Following a driver:  The dreamer seemed to be in communication with another   
   person at an unseen location, having something to do with tailing a suspect in   
   yet another vehicle (so there were 3 perspectives involved.)  The   
   communication was with respect to    
   the dreamer having lost visual contact, thus communicating with the other   
   individual, with the dreamer feeling more “male” and the tag-team member   
   feeling “female,” and the quarry under surveillance having a definite   
   “male” vibe to him.     
   Aside from there being little memorable, quotable dialogue, and the purpose of   
   the surveillance may only be assumed, it had a fairly decent [clarity 8+] to   
   it.   
      
   Bejeweled cylinder cup on chain+:  The dreamer was aware of having a small,   
   round cylinder type object in his possession, perhaps 2” in diameter, 1½”   
   tall, with a flat top & bottom, similar to what might be referred to as a tiny   
   “hat box” or “   
   snuff box” even though it was cylindrical in shape.  It was, in fact, a   
   “ring box” as it had some type of rather valuable, bejeweled ring inside,   
   such as a lady’s silver cocktail ring OR possibly some type of   
   engagement/wedding ring.  The gem may    
   have been an emerald (green).  In recounting this dream, there were two colors   
   involved, namely green and blue, so I’m recording this in the way I think it   
   *should* have been.   
      
   There was a female presence that came up alongside the dreamer, walking to his   
   left and slightly behind, with a *hollow* bejeweled, cylindrical box, with a   
   “blue” sense to it, such as sapphire.  The (empty) cylindrical box was   
   presented so that the    
   dreamer was holding / examining it, and the logical thing to do was to mention   
   that the emerald ring-box would “fit” perfectly within the sapphire hollow   
   box, although there was a *distinct* warning voice in the dreamer’s head   
   that sounded like a    
   very sincere yet dire admonition from myself to myself, “do NOT put it in   
   there—” although the dreamer self heard this, he could not resist   
   “checking” the situation, and sure enough, he put the emerald cylinder   
   inside the sapphire cylinder, but    
   then realized the green inner box was somehow NOT a match to the blue, outer   
   box and promptly removed the inner box and continued along his way.  The   
   female seemed slightly less-energized at the dreamer’s action / consequence   
   as the dream ended.   
      
   NOTE:  I *suspect* this is in some way an allegory of my past relationship   
   with Helen (who had blue eyes, and birthed my first son, Charles) even though   
   I always kept my heart (and mind) set on Gina (who has hazel-green eyes.)    
   That gives this dream a    
   sort of “dual clarity” rating of 7 (symbolic) / 9- (the dreamer could have   
   taken a better survey of the contents of the two boxes and possibly even   
   *looked* at the female, but didn’t.)  There was also a matter of one or   
   possibly two LEDs (light    
   emitting diodes) one blue, one green, each color associated with each of the   
   two cylinders.  As I record this, it occurs to me that the idea of a green LED   
   inside a box with a blue LED is what may have triggered the dreamer to remove   
   the green ring-box    
   from the blue container.
