   2022-02-25 Friday: Soviet Supermarket?   
   25 Feb 22 10:29:02

   Although today is my son Landon's 14th birthday, last night's dream was more   
   of a "SNAFU" condition in a supermarket, wherein the dreamer THOUGHT the story   
   to be a local Kroger type grocery store, only the people waiting to check out   
   were in lines so    
   long as to block the main aisle that runs behind the checkout registers.   
      
   The dreamer had been on the store's "front left" section (if you went in as a   
   customer through the front, go hard right until reaching that right-hand   
   corner) and was simply trying to pass to the store's front right section   
   (coming into the store from    
   the center, go left.) About this point, it behooves the writing of this dream   
   to use stage directional orientation references.   
      
   As the entire front, main aisle (that separates the checkouts from the aisles   
   of shelves) was completely congested with shoppers lined up to check out, the   
   dreamer decided to attempt moving toward the rear aisle of the store   
   (typically the meat section,    
   sometimes also the seafood section) to try to cross behind the throng in order   
   to get to the store's front (stage) right corner, but— the entire BACK aisle   
   (backstage) was entirely chock full of shoppers ALL in line to check out as   
   well.  Dream ended.     
   Clarity 9 but *highly* dismal.  Upon remembering the dream, I was reminded of   
   the soviet style "lines for blocks just to buy a loaf of bread or roll of   
   toilet paper, IF you're lucky."  In the news, Ukrainian citizens are   
   individually fighting the    
   invading soviets hand-to-hand, to the death, IRL.
