   01/22 /22 or 22/1/22, Saturday (a semi-palindromic date):   
      
   I had a pancake with maple syrup on it this morning, and even though I went   
   *light* on the syrup, I still had a kind of sugar-dizziness (not from   
   diabetes, but from my brain damage that affects my sense of balance) so I went   
   back to sleep to take a "   
   morning nap" to "sleep it off" as it were.   
      
   As a result, I had an *interesting* dream wherein the dreamer was out in the   
   back yard on Scottland Drive (which opens onto the field of Reeves-Rogers)   
   which had floating up high over the center a hot air balloon with a basket   
   (gondola?) underneath    
   containing at least 3 people (which I could make out as faces in the basket   
   under the balloon) where upon the dreamer, who had a bow and arrow, took a   
   shot at the balloon (knowing it was too high or out of reach of the arrow, but   
   doing it in jest) which    
   seemed to result in the notice of at least one person (guy) to the dreamer's   
   left (south) and the sense that others were paying attention as well, as if   
   monitoring the dreamer, who had a sudden suspicion that they might have been   
   sent to "attack" the    
   dreamer, who remarked aloud to the people in the basket, that there's   
   obviously no way that the arrow could ever reach the basket, yet the dreamer   
   took aim and sent another arrow just for fun, as if to prove the point, so to   
   speak, yet the arrow still    
   failed to reach the balloon or the basket of people.   
      
   Now the attention was on the person(s) in the neighbor's yard to the south,   
   along with at least one (black) dog in the neighbor's yard to the north (as if   
   the dog were possibly a part of the team being sent to investigate the dreamer   
   for shooting arrows.)   
      
   It just so happens that my OWN dog (IRL) was there in the dream, which the   
   dreamer attempted to alert to the presence of others, thinking she would at   
   *least* alert to the presence of the dog to the north.   
      
   It just so happens that in real life, the neighbor's dog to the south is   
   friendly, and in the dream was somehow being coaxed or otherwise encouraged by   
   the dreamer, although the retelling of this dream gets a bit dream-weird:    
   it's as if the black dog to    
   the north was the same as the neighbor's dog to the south, with the friendly   
   southern black dog being encouraged to address the nearly identical dog to the   
   north.  And all the while, the dreamer was a bit curious as to why his *own*   
   dog (my dog in real    
   life) was ignoring all of this, as if there was no "cause for alert" nearby   
   whatsoever.  Clarity 8, but confusing.   
      
   I *suspect* the people in the balloon could *possibly* represent people online   
   from "real life" as it were, likely atheists in an online group on Quora, but   
   that's *purely* speculative.
