      From: dicksilk@gmail.com              BRF wrote [with some editing]              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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
