   What I remember from last night's / this morning's dreams amount to a short   
   scenario wherein the dreamer was having some type of discussing with a friend   
   of mine from college (LWD) having something to do with a computer station   
   (monitor, internet or    
   network access of some kind.)  When I first awoke, I had more details, but   
   have been busy this morning, and for now, all I can recall is that it had   
   something to do with "looking at" another *point* (node) on the network.  What   
   was visible was similar to    
   doing a remote into another station, wherein what was seen was a BUNCH of   
   icons indicating *drives* at the remote (other) node.  It felt as if the   
   dreamer was looking at another person's computer.  What was of most interest   
   (technologically speaking) is    
   that the icons were of DRIVES (at LEAST a dozen, possibly *dozens!*) rather   
   than FOLDERS.   
      
   Example:  let's say you have a "my computer" icon, and within "my computer"   
   you have a C: (C drive) and possibly a D: (D drive, typically an optical drive   
   like a CD or DVD) and possibly an E: drive (for like a USB stick, external   
   drive, and sometimes    
   printers have a SLEW of drive ports as well, typically going up to around   
   drive H or even J.)  The C drive could have NUMEROUS folders, such as "My   
   Documents" / "Users" / "Programs" / "Windows" (etc.)  In this case, the view   
   was of DRIVES as if each    
   drive could possibly represent from a few gigabytes to possibly even   
   terabytes.  Regardless, it indicated massive amounts of storage capacity.   
      
   Whatever the friend in the dream could have wanted or needed is unclear.  The   
   massive amount of drive icons is what "pulled focus" in the scene.  Clarity 9,   
   except for all the forgotten / evaporated content, obviously.
