   Some "unusual" stuff (as usual):   
   "I" (the dreamer) was walking along with some other folk akin to some of my   
   high school classmates.  Only from the conscious waking perspective, I can   
   tell you that one of them was a *somewhat* close friend, Alan McG, who I   
   discovered earlier this month    
   had passed away (sometime previously.)  It's *POSSIBLE* that I'd learned of   
   this some time back, but the news may not have "registered properly" in my   
   semi-addled brain.  "Reality" aside, I was walking along with him and two or   
   three others, when I felt    
   it would be simply easier to *float* / glide beside them.  This makes about   
   the 2nd or 3rd recent "floating" dream, and it's getting about as common (or   
   more common) than "walking" in a dream.  Alan seemed somewhat impressed at   
   this floating bit, but I    
   do not recall any actual comments, although *something* was said about it.   
   Clarity 8.   
      
   There was another scene with a similar "feel" to it, but with a    
   business/legal" type attitude rather than a friendly walk.  Although this   
   *may* have been spawned by having watched "BULL" on DVR last night, there's no   
   "feel" as if connected. There was    
   this one guy who seemed *kind* of like a prosecutor but *may* have simply been   
   an attorney.  There was something *written* on a document that looked as if   
   someone had been trying to hand write over a passage so as to bolden its   
   appearance, but was on the    
   borderline of merely making it sloppy.  And while the dreamer could read it in   
   the dream, it evaporated moments after waking.  Also clarity 8.   
      
   In another "scene"/"vision," the dreamer saw a two-level air filter (like the   
   one in the hall closet that takes up the lower half of the closet space) with   
   one air filter above the lower, creating something akin to a 28"x56" coverage   
   area (numbers ROUGH    
   rather than even close to approximate!)  The thing about it was the upper vent   
   was *caked* with dust.  The dreamer had this desire to get a vacuum hose and   
   simply clean the dust.  The lower vent appeared relatively clean by   
   comparison, which struck the    
   dreamer as curious, as they should've been *close* to the same level of use /   
   cleanliness / dirt.  Quite possibly clarity 7.   
      
   In another "symbolic" type dream, there was a LINE of people (maybe a dozen or   
   more) all wearing white outfits (possibly saints?  possibly white blood   
   cells?) all going into a tunnel, practically single file.  The camera   
   perspective was as if halfway    
   alongside the exterior of the tunnel/tube, looking forward, but to the *rear*   
   / entrance of the tube, thus, the "other end" of the tunnel was behind the   
   camera perspective's left.  "I" (the dreamer) may have said something to one   
   of them, but that    
   conversation has evaporated, along with some curious detail regarding   
   something being held by someone.  The view pulled back to see the "exit" side   
   of the tube/tunnel, only to see a view of something akin to a heating/AC duct,   
   and there was some effort    
   to "adjust" an end of the tube for the purpose of making it a tad more   
   "rounded" rather than forming an "edged over" at one point.  Imagine a circle   
   o with a dot around the 5:30 position, then trying to massage that dot so that   
   rather than overlap, it's    
   a perfectly mated edge.  Then there was *another* view of the end of a tube,   
   only this one looked like someone had "crushed/crimped" part of the end.    
   Imagine something like a metalic version of a garden hose, something like a   
   copper tube used in the    
   manufacturing of a heat pump, where the end is NOT open / perfectly round /   
   unobstructed.  I keep getting this "idea" in my head that it's akin to the   
   damaged end of the blood vessel in my brain that caused the stroke back in   
   August of 2013.  It would be    
   "interesting" to say the least if it could be "dream repaired" leading to a   
   "miraculous healing" in real life, but that's just a thought at this point.   
      
   This one dream near the point of waking involved the dreamer sitting as if in   
   a discussion panel, as if at a set of tables set up for a meeting, making some   
   type of binary gender specific comment, at which another member of the group   
   (appearing female)    
   made a reference of correction, as if the dreamer had said something to   
   "offend" a transgender individual sitting on the edge of the discussion.  The   
   dreamer "turned" the view to the left rear, and sure enough, there was this   
   individual sitting along the    
   side of the room, not actually "at the table" yet still listening to the   
   discussion.  The dreamer got a bit stern in stating that, while there are ONLY   
   TWO genders in a binary system, it behooves no one to cater to the confusion   
   of the confused.  Sorry I    
   can't "consciously" recall exactly what was said in the dream, but that's a   
   pretty close approximation, and apparently the intensity of the dreamer's   
   position was enough to end the dream / caused me to awaken.  Clarity 8.    
   NOTE:  Looking into the face /    
   eyes of that confused individual was interesting.  There was no "light of   
   reason" within the entity that felt coherent enough to reasonably engage in   
   the conversation.
