   To get the "affectionate" type dream processed first— The dreamer was   
   standing to the left of a young lady whom the dreamer *considered* as Gina.    
   (*Was* it Gina? or might it have been someone else?  Dunno.  Only that the   
   dreamer *thought* it was Gina.)   
     There wasn't *that* close an examination of her face, but it *was* similar.    
   The dreamer's perspective was to her left, she on the right, both facing   
   roughly around 160°-175° (0°=due east; 90°=due north; 180°=due west) and   
   both somewhat bent over,    
   as if they were both examining something between kitchen-counter height and   
   kitchen table height (possibly at diaper changing table height!) when it   
   happened that the dreamer's right hand / right fingers somewhat touched /   
   brushed / possibly interlaced (   
   sorry, the memory of their exact configuration is slightly evaporated at the   
   time of this writing) but what was VERY clear was the *sensation* produced at   
   their touching!  It was very nearly as if the parts of the male and female   
   body that are normally    
   at the center of the act of procreation were somehow "linked" to their   
   fingers!  The sense of "touch" was "divine"!   
      
   The fingers of the female were *slightly* pudgy, yet smaller than the   
   dreamer's, as if she were around a size 4 or 5 ring on that all-important left   
   ring finger (which was apparently bare, by the way.  Back in 1981, Gina's   
   fingers were *slender*, but hey,   
    40+ years can add a pound or two to one's body....)   
      
   The dreamer remarked to the young lady, "I *love* your fingers— " which   
   prompted the *faintest* of smiles detectable.   
      
   That was when the dream ended, and although "I" (the ego in this world) was a   
   bit saddened by the end of that dream, still, it was encouraging nonetheless.    
   Clarity from 10+ (fingers touching) to 8 in general.   
      
   NOTE:  *prior* to this dream, around perhaps 2 or 3 AM? there was an incident   
   where the view was as if from the top of a tornado, down through the tornado,   
   which was outlined by line of swirling black, as if someone had scribbled a   
   tornado in 3D using a    
   pen that drew in blackness / void.  Within the "focal funnel" of this top-down   
   view, for *several* seconds, "I" saw shapes and images, what might be   
   considered "fragments of ideas" swirling around in the cone zone.  Although   
   "I" kept trying to determine    
   what was being viewed, "I" *also* tried out a few phrases that Jesus uses in   
   the New Testament, such as "Fear not—" and "love thine enemies" to see if   
   that would help.  The swirling sensation did begin to calm somewhat, and   
   eventually stopped, however,    
   I awoke to fuller consciousness rather than seeing anything "resolve" in what   
   had previously been swirling content (ideation?)  Clarity 2 or 3, with no   
   color to speak of, only shades of dim gray and/or darkness / blackness.   
      
   I had the "impression" that it *may* have been the *consequence* of the   
   "stunt" I pulled on Gina around October 16th of 1981.   
      
   In another dream, the dreamer is in something like an office setting, and has   
   access to some length of VERY firm yet flexible string, practically like   
   "unbreakable, rubber steel."  It is attached at one point within the office   
   suite, and the dreamer has    
   apparently strung it out through various places, around various desk corners   
   or poles or such, much like the tale of the Theseus in the maze of the   
   Minotaur.  (Thanks, Ariadne!)   
      
   Then comes what seems like the dreamer from the point of origin, traveling   
   along that string (astral cord through time, perhaps??) as if being *pulled*   
   along by gravity, bringing the dreamer around the objects in the office, until   
   the end of the string    
   is reached, whereupon the dreamer is a *bit* happy, much like a kid who's been   
   on a type of fun ride at a carnival, and wants to "do it again!" but the time   
   for fun rides has passed :'( and there are things that need to be done.    
   Clarity *fun!* :-)   
      
   In what seemed like a string of segments run together, the dreamer is as if on   
   a business trip, with a place of hanging a coat on a coat rack as if inside a   
   Waffle House.  (Coat racks are rarely found even in smaller churches, let   
   alone a Waffle House!)     
   There's another scene as if inside a motel or hotel room, and there's a water   
   sprinkler going off overhead along with a 1 blip alarm whoop, as if someone   
   let it go for ½ to ¾ of a second.  But since the sound went off, the   
   dreamer, being slightly    
   bewildered / alert / on guard, encounters some other individual who is shooing   
   people out of the building.  Wondering what for? the dreamer is told by the   
   individual something to do with an outbreak of fire, and as the dreamer goes   
   outside, sure enough,    
   there are around 7 round container structures marked "GAS" (as in "natural   
   gas") with 3 on the left, and 4 to the right, all burning as if someone had   
   sprayed flammable liquid on their outer casings and lit them aflame.  The   
   thought that they could go up    
   at ANY second motivated the dreamer to MOVE.   
      
   In the next scene, the dreamer and perhaps 2 or 3 others are in a vehicle that   
   is moving along an area, similar in "feel" to possibly Ontario, but also   
   possibly "out west" in the USA.  The dreamer is bemoaning the fact that [my   
   coat was left behind] at [   
   some location] and would LIKE to pick it up before they got too far out of   
   town.   
      
   Apparently, the omniscient mind was driving, and pulled off an interstate exit   
   ramp and directly up to the Waffle House where the dreamer had left the coat   
   behind.  The dreamer remarked that being that close to the location was a bit   
   surprising, and went    
   to go get [his] coat.  A female voice piped up, something to the effect of "be   
   sure and get mine while you're in there," but the dreamer (perhaps a bit   
   selfishly) was only concerned with getting [his] own.  IF he saw *and   
   recognized* her coat, he'd get    
   it.  And IF he came outside without it, she'd have the opportunity to address   
   the issue at that point.  However, the dream *ended* at that point.  Clarity   
   8-ish.
