   The dreamer was driving a vehicle in the [north-]westbound lane of I-24,   
   somewhere just northwest of Murfreesboro, presumably southeast of Smyrna, but   
   that's just a reference that seems similar in my mind.  No actual location was   
   given in the dream.     
      
   What looked like a load of chaos was heading [southward, possibly from   
   Nashville] in the dreamer's [northbound] lane, so the dreamer pulled over WAY   
   right, into the grassy area to the right of the [northbound] lane.  The   
   vehicular chaos coming [southward]   
    started to come off the road surface into the grassy zone along the side,   
   causing the dreamer to go even *further* to the right to give them room to   
   pass.  The dreamer felt like there was rock face to the right (where the hill   
   had been dynamited so that    
   the interstate road surface could run flat) and was concerned that whatever   
   the chaos was might still collide anyways, but the activity seemed to go past   
   (thankfully) bringing us to the next scene.   
      
   There was a lift jack, like the kind one sees in a car repair / body shop,   
   which seemed *like* the center (hydraulic) post lift type rather than the less   
   expensive, easier to install, side brackets that lift up using retractable   
   fingers.  The point is    
   that it was *outside* of and adjacent to a small building, rather than inside,   
   as if someone had possibly had a garage then removed it, then converting or   
   constructing the building next to it, regardless of which, was labeled as   
   [Someone's] Reality,    
   which is what set the lift off as appearing awkward, causing the dreamer to   
   wonder as to WHY there was a lift there, out in the open like that.   
      
   There was some activity in the next scene, where the dreamer is under a lifted   
   vehicle, looking up, inspecting its rear undercarriage (possibly looking for   
   any damage from the chaos event that opened this bit) and thinking how   
   convenient it was that a    
   lift happened to be so close to the roadway.  At any rate, a button was found   
   (somewhere) that lowered the lifted car back down to the ground, however, this   
   was one of those dreams with a "double time stream" as it were, and there was   
   another scene where    
   the car was ON the lift, and the dreamer was looking for the lowering button,   
   only to find a set of buttons under the rear end of the vehicle itself.  The   
   dreamer was telling <> "I don't think those are the controls—   
   they're in the [logically]   
    wrong place."  (As they should have been independent of the car itself.)    
   Regardless, as the dreamer (and someone else, apparently!) were now concerned   
   over how to get the car down, the lift just lowered itself.  I recall the   
   dreamer thinking that this    
   had happened before, as if the pneumatic or hydraulic pressure that had been   
   keeping it up had sprung a leak, so that it simply deflated / lowered after   
   being up for some time.  Either way, the dreamer was thankful to be clear of   
   the underside of the    
   vehicle when it came down!   
      
   The next scene *seems* to be related, but how all these scenes "fit" together   
   is unclear as hell, so to speak—  The dreamer's vehicle was parked in   
   something like a driveway / hallway (similar to a narrow, one-lane alley) with   
   two other vehicles parked    
   in behind it, so that the dreamer had to go about getting the two vehicles in   
   the rear removed in order that the dreamer's vehicle could pull out.   
      
   Getting the rearmost vehicle out of the way seemed so easy that it's barely   
   even noticed within the dream itself!  The middle car (now the "rearmost"   
   vehicle) had a female driver (left hand drive) only she told the dreamer she   
   was in labor, and the    
   sounds of glushing & slushing from in front of her seat seemed to reinforce   
   that idea.  So now the dreamer was in the mind-mode of being an emergency EMT   
   / midwife, of sorts, as in there was no one else around to assist, so   
   assistance was to be rendered.    
    Getting the dreamer's vehicle out of the parking spot was simply going to   
   have to "take a back seat" as it were to the delivery process.   
      
   Fortunately, that was the "end of dream" at that point, with all of the above   
   being roughly clarity 9 throughout.  Only the double timestream of the repeat   
   scene of the car stuck up on the lift seemed vaguely curious, not too unlike   
   Neo's double-cat "   
   glitch" scene in "The Matrix"— which makes it difficult to put a standard   
   "clarity" rating on anything, other than "7".   
      
   The next dream scenario involved an entirely different "set," similar to a   
   college student preparing to perform in a band concert (like an orchestra,   
   although more along the lines of symphonic, which is a larger category than   
   wind ensemble.)  And while    
   the entry scene seemed pretty clear, the dreamer heading into a    
   niversity-type building, something like a modern take on an ivy-league [much   
   older] architectural style, there seemed to be a question regarding the   
   dreamer's instrument (a trumpet, in a    
   case) and the security of that instrument while the dreamer had to go do some   
   errand before rehearsal (or the performance) started.  The dreamer (and some   
   other, objective perspective) were certainly uncomfortable with just leaving   
   it in the hallway,    
   against the wall.  Sure, it was a university environment, and mostly music   
   people were present, but seriously— leaving it UNattended, UNsecured?  Thank   
   you, no.  The dreamer kept looking, and found a hallway locker in which the   
   case fit perfectly.     
   Shut and locked, problem solved.  End of dream, clarity 8+, 9-.  Reminds me in   
   hindsight of the Wright Music Building, where I had what could've been my last   
   opportunity around 1984 to "set things straight" between myself and Gina (in   
   that time era.     
   There's always later today or "when tomorrow comes," when the conditions are   
   "right" for another encounter / proposal.)
