   BRF:> "Visions Would Be [an] Off-Topic Post Here In /alt.dreams"    
      
   Except that the post was on dreams AND visions and how they relate with each   
   other with respect to the dreamer.  I'd argue that visions are merely dreams   
   of the future, thus remain "on topic" in alt.dreams, but to continue:   
      
   BRF:> "But Had Two Of Them In My [Life] [Time,] One When I Was About 16 Year   
   [Old:]   
   One night my step-father took me fishing    
   it was a clear night all the stars and the moon was out    
   Truly it was a nice cool night    
   But seems To Me like the fish wouldn't bite    
   so I when to laydown    
   upon the embankment of lake    
   and looked up at the Night sky"    
      
   (Was this much during the dream, or preceding the dream?)   
      
   BRF:> "[lo, I] See Two Big Stars Side By Side    
   Off To The right Of The Moon    
   A Good Three Hands A Way    
   About [Middle] In The North Sky"   
      
   A few preliminary questions: is this from the perspective of the Southern or   
   Northern hemisphere?  Anything being near the moon (to the right) in the   
   [northern] sky would likely be in the summer (in the northern hemisphere) but   
   I'm uncertain as to how    
   that would play out in the Southern hemisphere (South of the Equator.)   
      
   BRF:> "Then One Star [Moved] away From [the other]   
   Toward The Moon Who Was Full At The Time    
   And [Moved] Behind It    
   To [Not Be Seen afterward]"    
      
   (That last line had to be cleared up in that manner, otherwise, it   
   grammatically had all *sorts* of "holes" in it.)   
      
   BRF:> "Now Know This    
   That The Moon And All Stars    
   But One Was Of The True Night Sky    
   Only That One Star Was Of The Vision"   
      
   Either that, or you may have been spotting the International Space Station.    
   It is *very* possible for it to "disappear* from view depending upon the   
   rotation of the earth with respect to the sun.  I've seen it "wink out" in the   
   middle of an orbital    
   flight path over my home once upon a time (somewhere within the past 5 years?)   
   because the station had passed into the earth's shadow from the sun.  If I'd   
   not been out deliberatly looking for the station at that time, it would   
   possibly have confused me    
   to no end!  Fortunately, I've spotted the station on numerous occasions   
   (before and since.)   
      
   BRF:> "After The [Event] My Step-Father    
   Who Was Siting Off About 500 Feet    
   Off To The West Of Me"   
      
   So I'm taking there was NO "dream" portion to any of this, that this was   
   observed while fully awake.  Is this correct?   
      
   BRF:> "I Was Able To See Him    
   Out Of My Right Side Of Eye    
   At No Time Did He Take    
   His Eye Off of The Lake"   
      
   Fishermen come to fish.   
      
   BRF:> "After The Manifest Come To Pass    
   My Step-Father got up And Walk Over To Me A Said    
   Look Like The Fish Are Not [Biting] Bait [Tonight]"   
      
   When the fisherman says it's time to turn in, it's time to turn in ✔   
      
   BRF:> "In Fishing batting (noun) the action of hitting A Lure"   
      
   In American English, this is referred to as "biting" (like taking repeated   
   bites out of an apple.)   
      
   BRF:> "He [said 'We Need To pack Up— Time To Go Home'."]   
      
   I've also heard the expression, "Time to go to the house."   
      
   Just as a suggestion, you may wish to sign up to get text messages from the   
   passing over of the ISS in your area, then see if what you spot in the   
   evening/night sky is similar or different from what you saw that night.   
      
   Once such a comparison is either [confirmed or denied] then other options may   
   be examined.
