   Yesterday (Sunday) was 12/11, and I had a rather unusual dream (from Saturday   
   night/Sunday morning) that I thought made such little sense that I figured   
   "Why bother posting it?" and "Maybe something will occur during the day that   
   brings some sense to it."   
      
   NOTE:  I do a LOT of describing regarding the time frame such as: "Saturday   
   night / Sunday morning" when the Hebrew/Judeo (Biblical OT) tradition is that   
   the night *and* the day forms "one day" which I've always "felt" makes "better   
   sense" than slicing a    
   day up at midnight, although I do understand the "modern" convenience of   
   reckoning "time" starting at 0:00 (Midnight.)   
      
   At any rate, not that I expect there to be any internet archaeologists   
   ("blogologists"?) digging through these journals for any "scientific study,"   
   but *JUST IN CASE* there ever should be, from now going forward, I'll be   
   referring to "the night ending    
   Monday morning" as a means of saying "Sunday night/Monday morning" or "the   
   night ending Sunday morning" for "Saturday night/Sunday morning."  And   
   although I do respect Saturdays as a day of "relaxing" (with a kind of   
   "Sabbath" feel to them) I'll *likely*    
   also refer to Friday night/Saturday morning as "the night ending Saturday   
   morning" rather than as "the Sabbath" because, after all, I'm a "gentile" /   
   "Christian / protestant."   
      
   So during the night ended Sunday morning, in the dream, there was a vehicle   
   (like a 4-door, though possibly a 2-door with back seats) traveling along a   
   short section of road, where the road made a not-too-deeply shaped dip, \/,   
   although it was quite a    
   bit shallower than the text indicates, maybe more like 285° (heading down)   
   and 15° (heading back up) only the dip was *long enough* that the entirety of   
   the dip was filled with water, and the car traveling along the road that went   
   into the dip was *   
   completely* submerged under the water (the dream showed the natural effect of   
   an object moving beneath the water; the water flowing over the roof of the   
   car) and traveled on back up the road on the other side, at nearly the same   
   rate of speed, only    
   slowing somewhat from passing through the water.   
      
   OK, so that really made little sense, as a driver.  Most drivers are familiar   
   enough with a road to know where a dip is located, and seeing that much water   
   in the road, would normally have avoided it rather than driven through it, and   
   most cars would've    
   stopped dead in the water as a consequence of having traveled *into* that   
   water.  (Looking back on this, I *really* shoulda posted this yesterday   
   morning, but as I said, *it made no sense* as a dream.)   
      
   Then (finally) came last night's world news, and I see that the Orion capsule   
   of the Artemis I program re-entered the Earth's atmosphere using a   
   rock-skipping pattern (youtu.be/87JVEyoYtfQ?t=44) and suddenly the dream "made   
   sense" as the car in the dream,   
    the road, the water, were all analogous to the capsule, the orbital path, and   
   the atmosphere.   
      
   While the clarity was 9, the understanding was nonexistent until watching the   
   evening news allowed meaning to suddenly "sink in" / "come to light," so to   
   speak.
