   From: dicksilk@gmail.com   
      
   Had an odd little dream segment that *felt* like it was inside a Synagogue   
   (something of which I've never been in during this present incarnation)   
   wherein a particular word (POSSIBLY biblehub.com/hebrew/4687.htm   
   “מִצְוָה, mitsvah” (code of    
   wisdom)) was being discussed / possibly debated.  Someone (a guy, perhaps in   
   his 30s–50s?) took the dreamer by the hand and proceeded to "run around" the   
   inner perimeter of the synagogue.  The dreamer had the impression that the guy   
   wanted to "show"    
   something to the dreamer, but during the trip around the inside of the   
   Sanctuary (inner gathering area for congregants?) the dreamer had a thought as   
   to "why do this?" and the dream ended.  Clarity 8- -ish.   
      
   There was perhaps another dream which I *thought* I was going to remember upon   
   waking, however, shortly after getting up I found myself unable to pick   
   anything out of it whatsoever, so *unless* it was something in regards to that   
   Synagogue Spin (   
   mentioned above) I have no idea what it may have been about.   
      
   The dream before waking (around 8:30-ish AM) was rather involved.  I remember   
   that the continuity of the dream was rather good with respect to action /   
   consequence / next action / consequence, etc.—  However, I'm a tad bit fuzzy   
   AFTER waking as to many    
   of the more specific elements, but here's a bit of the plot, regardless:   
      
   Picking up the story where a vehicle is involved, the dreamer recalls the   
   driver's (left side) door didn't *latch* shut, BUT, by using the electric   
   LOCK, the lock itself held the door shut while moving.  The dreamer was   
   searching for a place to park    
   outside a building (possibly an arena or complex of some sort) but as there   
   appeared to be *some* level of urgency to the situation, the dreamer   
   rationalized that "after all, I *am* a doctor" (or someone in the medical   
   profession) "and this *is* a    
   medical situation" as there was someone inside the dreamer was supposed to   
   find and retrieve for some reason.   
      
   The dreamer did in fact return to the car but started out looking into the   
   general parking lot, then remembering that the vehicle had been parked   
   alongside a narrow side of the building (similar to where staff might park.)    
   Sure enough, the car was still    
   there (had not been towed) and the other person (whomever it was the dreamer   
   went to get) sat in the front (right) passenger's seat, which apparently   
   closed properly as it was not nearly as used as the driver's side door.   
      
   There was again another issue with the driver attempting to get the door to   
   shut and finding one of those silvery-metallic lock levers (possibly from the   
   '50s or '60s?) where there's a spot of about ½" square in the armrest (or   
   below it somehow) with a    
   semi-cylindrical "hump" that toggles forward (or UP) (to unlock) and backward   
   (or down) (to lock) to activate the lock-knob that sticks up from the side   
   panel that abuts the base area of the window.  The driver toggled the lever   
   down in order to lock the    
   door, and although there was not too much confidence in the door, the   
   dreamer/driver returned mental focus to getting out of the parking lot, and   
   began by backing up, then pulling *some* kind of nearly 270° re   
   erse-directional "swirl" in order to    
   position the vehicle to drive forward out of the parking lot.   
      
   There was some sentence spoken by the dreamer regarding the effect of rapidly   
   swirling the car around, something like "I normally don't do / drive like   
   this, but this is an emergency."  The effect of the swirl was akin to "driving   
   by faith" without any    
   clear image as to what was surrounding the moving vehicle.  However, as soon   
   as the car began to drive forward, the dreamer took one look around for   
   traffic then the dream ended.  Originally clarity 9, but after waking, more   
   like 8-.   
      
   NOTE:  I'm having some type of memory of that evaporated dream, at least a   
   single visual element:  the dreamer was looking at "himself" in a mirror, and   
   noted that the guy looked a LOT like me, but clearly younger, perhaps 20s?   
   with a lighter colored    
   hair, more toward the blonder side.  It also appeared a bit "thicker" than I   
   wore my hair (which IRL was SO thick I actually had the barbers "thin it out"   
   whenever I went to the barber shop!) and IF I'm not mistaken, the guy had a   
   small mustache (as    
   there was *some* kind of something under his nose.)
