   From: dicksilk@gmail.com   
      
   Dream starts out "at night" with the dreamer *and some other entity* outdoors,   
   in a somewhat residential area (something like a cross between my present   
   neighborhood, and the more rural setting that the area to the south of the end   
   of the street *used*    
   to be in the '60s and early '70s.)   
      
   Their position was similar to outside in the field behind Reeves-Rogers   
   elementary school, with their attention facing southeast (towards the school   
   is mostly south, somewhat southwest) so the "focus of attention" (whatever it   
   may have been!) was in the    
   vicinity of what is today an "urban growth" of MTSU, such as where they have   
   built up a small cloister of "better built" student housing (as in, for the   
   "more affluent" students.)  However, in the dream, as well as IRL (from the   
   perspective of the    
   dreamer standing in the field) whatever was beyond the houses lining the   
   field, and across Greenland Drive (further to the south/southeast) was   
   obscured by the treeline.   
      
   The entity (person, element) who had been out there *with* the dreamer took   
   off, as if headed to the southeast, pretty much [like a shot] and was not   
   "seen" again in this particular dream sequence, at least not as a single   
   person (as to *who* or *   
   whatever* that other person / element may have represented is, as of the time   
   of this writing, *undefined.*)  The dreamer had a momentary thought to "go   
   after" that other person, as if to see what the focus was all about, but what   
   "captured the dreamer's    
   attention," however, was a firework that had been shot (fired, launched, lit)   
   from somewhere over in that area to the southeast (such as where the student   
   housing is today.)   
      
   The firework was like one of those "class B"— professional display shells   
   ("1.3G") only bigger than most, more like an artillery shell.  For example:    
   when a "class B" shell goes off, it typically goes *straight up* into the   
   air.  The MTSU campus *   
   periodically* launches fireworks, and from even out in the field, the view of   
   the exploding shells is *barely* above the horizon, maybe 5°–10° above   
   Reeves-Rogers' roof line.  (One year, for the 4th of July, you could sit out   
   in the street and see    
   them above the treeline on the south end of the street, but that location has   
   changed, *very likely* due to the student housing already described.)    
      
   The shell's payload (that was fired in the dream) traced an arc    
   orth-westward, over what IRL would be Old Lascassas Road (to the west) in what   
   would be about 4 or 5(+) times the distance of a *typical* class B shell   
   (like, perhaps ¾ of a mile?)  The    
   perspective of the dreamer was as if a person standing in the field actually   
   turned one's head to the right to watch its flight path.   
      
   The color of the shell burst (a simple asterisk (*) burst) was of green   
   light.  As to whether this has anything to do with Islam or not is   
   undetermined as of this writing, but green fireworks are produced on account   
   of the fact that the element copper    
   produces a green light when burned.  It is also *highly* synonymous with the   
   4th ("chloros") Horseman of the Apocalypse, but again, in this dream, it's   
   simply an undefined (and otherwise unexplained) solitary firework shell.    
   (There's also an association    
   of copper mines with the wealth of Solomon, but that's another narrative.)   
      
   So why write this much of a dream of a single (green) firework shell?  Good   
   question.  A simple one-liner would likely just read:  "I dreamed I saw a   
   green firework shell burst off in the west."   
      
   It *may* be that the "uniqueness" of the dream scene is what helped me to   
   remember *what came next*—   
      
   The dreamer was as if in a car, likely of a type of Pontiac Firebird or   
   TransAm (of the '70s era, *neither* of which I have ever owned (to date)) yet   
   exited the vehicle *as if* it had come to a stop, *as if* at the head of a   
   line or procession of    
   vehicles (this was a daylit scene, as if out in an open area, yet clearly upon   
   a road of some kind, possibly at a cul-de-sac end of a road.)   
      
   The dreamer strolled towards the other cars that were in line, some crowded in   
   as if in a pack, or throng, as many as could be gathered within the   
   cul-de-sac.  The view transitioned so that the drivers of the vehicles were as   
   if standing outside of them,    
   and one of the drivers (now standing) in particular was viewed as wearing   
   something like a 1960s style Bat Man costume, more along the line of what an   
   adult may wear as pajamas, rather than as a professional Hallowe'en type   
   replica.  The guy's head was *   
   clearly* visible, as like "sans cowl," (without Bat Man's head mask / cowl)   
   and gave the impression of a medium-colored brown-skinned person. (In Africa,   
   the blacks are *black* skinned.  In the Middle East, the Egyptians / Arabs are   
   brown-skinned.  In    
   America, the descendants of former slaves are often "medium" to "light"   
   colored.  The character in the dream seemed American, likely anywhere from his   
   late 30s to 60s.  There was a *hint* of gray in his hair, and a *hint* of age   
   in his skin.)   
      
   As the dreamer looked beyond the "circle / pack of vehicles" that were in this   
   cul-de-sac area, looking along the road beyond, there were *hundreds* to   
   *thousands* of people viewed in the distance.   
      
   At a Trump rally, you may see a line a mile or longer of people waiting to get   
   in, but those lines are typically along a sidewalk, and typically only 3-to-5   
   (or *maybe* 6) wide (as such lines go along sidewalks) but in this dream, the   
   throng / line of    
   people were at least a dozen wide (as wide as the street) and seen leading   
   back into the distance as far as the dreamer could see (which was basically   
   *at* ground level, although I am tall, so I can see a *good* distance along a   
   flat road.)   
      
   Dreams like this tend to "give me pause" as to think "what could that   
   *possibly* be about?"   
      
   So there's this page, "DiscussingJesus.Quora.com" for which I'm the "admin,"   
   and, currently, that page has (roughly) 14,800 "views" in the past 7 days.    
   There's this other space for which I admin (although someone else "owns" that   
   page) called "   
   TheBibleSpace.quora.com" and it's had (roughly) 41.7 K views in the past   
   week.  As for myself, personally, my profile (Quora.com/profile/   
   ichard-Carl-Silk) has 38.8K views in the past week, 2.6 million since I've   
   been on Quora (in December of 2016.)   
      
   I *suspect* that *may* have *something* to do with the dream of all the people   
   in a line, highly resonant with people viewing content on the "internet   
   information highway."
