   Last night's / this morning's dreams involved a peculiar scene wherein a group   
   of guys were outside a rural home and the dreamer saw one (questionable)   
   character being rounded up by two other guys who were using something like a   
   cable or a chain to bind    
   the guy's hands up under a low-hanging tree branch.   
   I have the impression that the dreamer may have aided the guys by handing them   
   the chain that had been lying upon the ground, but that was a shade unclear.    
   What was going through the mind of the dreamer was that, perhaps given enough   
   time and    
   determination, the (questionable) guy *could* possibly work his way loose off   
   of that limb by working the chain back & forth until it *wore through* the   
   limb, or even slide his way backwards (he was facing the trunk) until his   
   bonds worked back over any    
   branches until the person was free of the tree (but would still have to   
   explain to anyone else why their hands were bound in chains, although one   
   could always work independently to remove the chains over a period of time.)    
   The dreamer also had in mind    
   the idea of possibly calling a law enforcement agency of some kind to let them   
   know of a criminal who had been apprehended.   
   Regardless, the dream ended (around clarity 8 to 8+) with things simply left   
   there, although upon waking, I've had the curious suspicion that it may be   
   related to the binding of demons, religiously speaking.  The guy having his   
   hands tied could have been    
   analogous to a muted or blocked troll from an online discussion space, such as   
   DiscussingJesus.quora.com — but that's just a guess.   
      
   In another dream, *possibly* the same one, the dreamer was looking for a rest   
   room, possibly within the house possibly located in the yard where the tree   
   had been growing in the previous dream.  There was the sense that the dreamer   
   was in someone else's    
   house, and the homeowner was a bit anxious for people to leave but there was   
   like another (3rd person's) voice telling the homeowner that the people in the   
   house were simply looking for a bathroom, and would be out shortly. Clarity 8.   
   In what could have been either the same or a different dream, the dreamer is   
   in one of those smaller, public construction-type bathrooms with dividing   
   walls between two toilet stalls and a wall urinal.  It seemed as if there were   
   more than one person    
   needing a bathroom break at that time, and the dream ended with the dreamer   
   still standing by waiting for an opening / opportunity.  Clarity 8+.   
      
   There was a dream involving dogs, or at least one dog in particular, that was   
   of a medium-shaggy, deep chestnut color coat, and for whatever reason, the dog   
   ended up lying down upon the ground in a somewhat dark setting.  It was like   
   the night was just    
   black, but the area around the dog was visible.   
   The dog seemed practically dehydrated, and the dreamer had a wet towel and   
   wrung it so as to squeeze some water onto the dog's snout ("muzzle") so that   
   water could trickle into the dog's mouth, which obtained a slight drinking   
   response.  Clarity 8- but *   
   DARK*.  The dog and the towel and the water were perhaps 8+.   
      
   Yet another dream involving animals involved the dreamer entering a structure   
   similar in feel to a horse barn.  The dreamer was located as if at the   
   northeast corner of the barn, entering an opening facing east.  This could   
   well explain why there were a    
   number of black horses exiting the opening, with what appeared to be some   
   speed / urgency, as if thankful to leave the building, or perhaps just excited   
   to be doing something.  And while the dream pretty much ended there at about   
   an 8+ clarity, it *may*    
   have been that the tune "Sleigh Ride" *may* have been playing on the radio   
   (stupid flip phone app) on the window ledge beside my bed.  *Or* the tune may   
   have simply been playing as the background to the dream action— either way,   
   I have a slight sense    
   that the tune was somehow involved with the dream.   
      
   In still yet another *short* dream clip, the dreamer (in this case, seemingly   
   "me") was observing / commenting in passing to the mother (in this case, my   
   mother) that she can't be doing my (math) homework for me, as I wouldn't   
   *learn* anything if she    
   kept doing so.  Oddly enough, I have a fairly good hunch what this was about,   
   although I haven't used math (outside of balancing a bank account) in years   
   (although some meditation on π has been going on recently:  the circumference   
   *includes* the    
   diameter; the diameter is *not* the circumference.  The diameter *is a part   
   of* the circumference; the circumference *is not a part of* the diameter.    
   (Hence, the infinite decimal value of π.)
