   I had one of those “not yet” type mornings, where whatever got me up still   
   left me with that “back to bed” layer of sleep.  After about my third   
   return trip to dreamland, I had a somewhat curious dream involving my older   
   brother, Bob, and at    
   least one (possibly up to all 3) of his daughters.   
      
   They were (or at least he was) asking me, “What’s this?” but I had to   
   look at it to give him a guess.  Before I even looked at it, I was saying   
   something like “It’s a pachino-type game” (the word is “pachinko” on   
   "The Price is Right" game    
   show, but it’s basically BBs sent up to the top of an arched (classic   
   tomb-stone shaped) plane of clear plastic, where the BBs fall down through and   
   over a maze of pins with cups so that it’s possible (though unlikely) for   
   any given BB to land in a    
   point-valued cup anywhere within the plane.   
      
   The Pachinko game on "The PiR" show ("IRL") is *huge:*  I believe back in the   
   day someone had to climb a ladder to drop a ball in from the top, but such is   
   not a *clear* recollection.   
      
   The “pachino” game in the dream was hand-held, maybe a foot or so in   
   height, and maybe a half inch at most in depth, and maybe 6”–9” wide,   
   and the BBs were BB sized, like what you might shoot out of an air pistol or   
   “BB gun.”  How “I” (   
   the dreamer) knew what it was could *possibly* be attributed to the dreamer   
   having sent it as a present of some sort in an earlier time frame, not seen   
   yet somehow “felt” within the dream scene itself.   
      
   The dreamer even expertly “racked” all the BBs to the left (not the   
   right!) by tipping the game forward (so all the BBs ran to the top) then   
   angled left then down (so all the BBs aligned in a narrow shooting column)   
   where there were approximately 12 (   
   somehow the number was heard) BBs all lined up on the left, and all the   
   shooter needed to do was pull a small plunger and send them careening around   
   the top arch and plinking downward through the pins & cups (which he   
   demonstrated.)   
      
   Following that scene, the dreamer needed to find a commode, and as it turned   
   out, the scene of the “pachino” segment appeared to have been in a room   
   similar to a classroom (only more like a dimly lit living room) of the Alumni   
   Memorial Gymnasium    
   building at MTSU.  So the dreamer set out in search of a men’s room for the   
   purpose of “taking (or “leaving,” actually) a dump.”   
      
   This was where things got a bit awkward, to say the least.  In some dreams,   
   the search for a restroom forms the angst of the entire plot, and a dreamer   
   has to search almost in desperation to “take a leak,” yet has trouble   
   finding a suitable restroom    
   facility.  In this dream, however, there were several restrooms, only all the   
   commodes and all the urinals were “flooded” to the rims, with water   
   (supposedly, just water, but hey…) several inches deep along the floors.   
      
   There was one (large, janitor-sized) sink with those star-type handles   
   (similar in shape to an asterisk: *) which the dreamer tested on the right   
   side (traditionally, the “cold” spigot) which the dreamer turned   
   counter-clockwise, and water ran fine,    
   then he turned it right off again (clockwise.)  And yet he was looking for any   
   particular reason as to why all these rooms were flooded, with the intent of   
   fixing at least ONE commode so it could be used properly.   
      
   There was one random female in the area who had mentioned at some point that   
   restrooms in that building may be hard to come by (probably because gyms   
   typically have locker rooms instead) but the dreamer simply “woke up” and   
   I started my morning by    
   taking care of the issue presented within the dream, which was clarity 9+ all   
   the way, although I’m *fairly* certain it was one of those bio   
   ogically-initiated / instigated type dreams, which would make it a clarity 7   
   (symbolic) type dream.
