   Good for you :-)  (just kidding.)

   I actually find that to be a "good" symbol, if a guy is to the right of a   
   person, preferably facing the same direction, as that puts him in the groom's   
   place, or even "at the right hand of God" in the religious sense.  Left   
   positions tend to bother me a    
   bit, as the further left one goes, the closer to insanity their perspective   
   appears.

   Those are *tall* cards.  I'm thinking closer in size to 1950s/60s/70s computer   
   punch cards than playing cards. (wikipedia.org/wiki/EBCDIC)

   number and I start shuffling    
   through the cards looking for the number. I don't see any numbers on these   
   cards, so know it is going to be like last time. I wake up at that moment.

   So this actually strikes me as something akin to an historical "flash back,"   
   even as far back as WWII, when punched cards were actually a part of the "War   
   effort" to defeat Hitler, to the tune of around 2 million punched cards a week   
   {At Bletchley Park    
   in England, "some 2 million punched cards a week were being produced,   
   indicating the sheer scale of this part of the operation" (wikip   
   dia.org/wiki/Punched_card)}.   
      
   Please note that (in my opinion) things that are *exceptionally* fluid in   
   dreams do "not" appear, are "transparent" as air.  So while a deck of cards   
   may be less fluid and appear solid, the data on those cards would be unseen.   
      
   I do get a feeling of futility from that last sentence, "I don't see any   
   numbers on these cards, so know it is going to be like last time."
