   2022/11/06 Sunday: Apartments / Rent

   I've already been to a church service this morning, so much of what was dreamt   
   about last night/this morning has already evaporated, but one series sorta   
   "stuck with me" until now, so here it is:   
      
   The dreamer was in a room, similar to an apartment bedroom or living area, and   
   there were insects *all over* the otherwise white ceiling.  Not "all over" as   
   in a carpet, but as an infestation of sorts:  not just one or two here or   
   there, but as perhaps    
   dozens of black crawly things, most around ½"–1", although there was *one   
   particular* "stick insect" that was perhaps 6" in length, and more like a   
   bluish-white with a darker perimeter, one that was "curious" yet not   
   "threatening," as it appeared to    
   be traveling by itself, rather than as the swarm of other insects.  (Could   
   possibly be analogous to a preacher leading a congregation of sinners???)   
      
   At any rate, there were several "clips" but as some time has passed since this   
   morning, I'm gonna try to "stitch them together" as if they were a single   
   theme (which they seem to be anyways) so—   
      
   The dreamer was standing outside a front door entrance to a home (possibly an   
   apartment / duplex / house for rent) with some intention of entering the home,   
   although it wasn't just like walking up to a door and walking in:  it was more   
   like there was    
   need for a key or for someone to answer from within.  This scene appears to   
   have been something of a "stand alone" scene, as it did not exactly segue   
   perfectly into another dream, but it certainly "stitches well" into the   
   overall narrative.   
      
   In another clip, there appear to be at least 3 people involved, one of them   
   being very nearly a 1st-person perspective (yet still partly either 2nd or 3rd   
   person) of someone about to pay a (female?) landlord a monthly rent check.    
   There may have been one    
   or two other females about to provide that same landlord checks for half the   
   rent amount.  Now whether they were combining ½ with ½ in order to pay a   
   full month's rent, or whether they had two separate rents and were only able   
   to pay ½ each at that    
   point, well, that was left unclear.  I do recall hearing the two girls (maybe   
   it was just one female? or one female with a split-mind regarding something?)   
   making something of an excuse (or excuses) as to why it was only ½ rather   
   than a full payment.     
   Meanwhile, the dreamer (or someone *exceptionally* close to the dreamer's   
   camera perspective) provided the landlord / lady a check for a "full amount."    
   The numerical amount was not observed, however, the narrative mind of the   
   dreamer understood (and    
   either the dreamer *or* the person paying the check) the check was for a full   
   amount, and remarked to the landlady something akin to: "I realize how   
   refreshing it must be to get the full amount in a single check."  Clarity   
   9-ish.  The bugs on the ceiling    
   bit may have been a genuine 7 (symbolic.)   
      
   There may well have been other dreams, but that's all for now.
