   From: dicksilk@gmail.com   
      
   Please note that I awoke around 8:30 AM (Thursday) morning, then napped on the   
   couch and re-awoke at around 9:30 AM.  The reason for bringing this up is   
   because the "lucid/sentient" dream occurred just before waking at the 9:30   
   mark.   
      
   The earlier dream (that ended around 8:30 AM) involved the dreamer having   
   something to do with a (small) group of people.  It's just that one of those   
   people happened to be a young, black female (of a "lighter, American shade")   
   of perhaps around her    
   early 20s.  There was some discussion regarding her dress, as it was like one   
   of those short skirts with a pleated "ring" around the waistline, similar to   
   what a dancer *might* wear on a dance floor, all set for whirling outward   
   during a spin.  The    
   discussion also mentioned being able to see her underwear, at which time her   
   position was somehow *above* the dreamer's perspective, such that (if he had   
   been sitting) he was "looking up" at her from a position above, almost as if   
   some climbing or    
   possible gymnastic equipment were involved.   
      
   The next moment, she and the dreamer were holding each other in an embrace.    
   No vibration to speak of, simply an embrace, cheek-to-cheek, and the dreamer   
   said something to the female, regarding *something* along the lines of Psalm   
   46:10, such as "embrace    
   the peace of the silence of the moment" (although IF I'd journaled this   
   *EARLIER* Thursday morning, it would *well likely* have been *much clearer* of   
   a quotation!)   
      
   That dream basically ended right there, around a clarity 9+ to 9-, as the   
   embrace had a *very real* feeling of physical presence to it.   
      
   The experience AFTER zonking out on the couch, however, was *amazing* but   
   started as a "regular type dream" event:   
      
   The dreamer was as if in a classroom, as if discussion an assignment, as if it   
   had been handed out or assigned by some female who was *very reminiscent* of   
   someone I saw IRL on the TV ("view port") [yesterday / Wednesday] although I'm   
   at somewhat of a    
   loss as to who she may have been.  (Political??)  She was a *bit* like a   
   *younger* version of Charlotte Rampling (imdb.com/name/nm0001648   
   ?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t23) but I very strongly suspect the female (teacher?) in the   
   dream was actually representative of    
   whomever I'd seen "on the telly" last night.   
      
   And yes, IF I'd journaled this *earlier* (Thursday) morning, I'd have a *much*   
   clearer recollection of what was being discussed, however:   
      
   The action was as if there was somehow an incomplete consequence to the   
   assignment, as if half-or-all of the "class" had no contribution, other than   
   some type of blame-deflection, as if the person who'd *assigned* the homework   
   (or task) had blundered in    
   some way.   
      
   Regardless, this led to another "teacher" of sorts, only this guy was *very*   
   noticeable / recognizable:  he was the actor who played Farmer Hoggett in the   
   movie, "Babe": James Cromwell (imdb.com/name/nm0000342/?ref_=tt_cl_t_1)   
   although he did appear "   
   younger" in the dream than IRL, more like the age of when he filmed "Babe," or   
   possibly from when he played the part of Zefram Cochrane in Star Trek: First   
   Contact (imdb.com/title/tt0117731/characters/nm0000342?ref_=tt_cl_c_9).  At   
   any rate, the    
   character *in the dream* was *as a teacher* ***as if*** a celebrity individual   
   were hosting a class for some reason, kinda like if Buddy Ebsen were to host   
   political geography or American history or some such.  The "teacher" was   
   almost as if cognizant of    
   his own "star power" yet *also* cognizant of the humble role of being a simple   
   classroom teacher!  There was a reference *in the dream* *as if* he were   
   alluding to some famous film, such as either Amityville Horror / The Exorcist   
   / Close Encounters of    
   the Third Kind *as if* they were one film in which he'd appeared (if I recall   
   correctly, he was in *none* of them IRL) then made a comment *something* to   
   the effect that, since no one had done any homework / as there was no   
   assignment to turn in, that we'   
   d simply go on a field trip instead, with his *last* words being:  "Just do   
   not go in my house."   
      
   THAT was when things went "clarity 10+!"   
      
   The dreamer (I'll just put it in first person at this point: — I —!) was   
   standing in a "night scene" outside, similar to the "yard" of a possibly rural   
   home, possibly a farmhouse, where there was *plenty* of yard, although *as* it   
   was a night scene,    
   only that area *around* the building was visible.  There may have been seen a   
   few of the members of the class visible in the distance, but what   
   *immediately* struck the dreamer's attention was that there was no "frame" of   
   perspective!  Like, when you sit    
   in a theater and watch what's on screen or on stage, you have a "sense" of the   
   darkness around you.  As you sit or walk or talk or basically do anything in   
   daily life / activity, there's usually a "sense" of what is *before* you, as   
   what's immediately to    
   the sides of your head and behind your head is always "out of view" and has a   
   sense of a "frame" of darkness *behind* your central focus / sense of self.   
      
   In this "dream" (it was possibly more like a "come visit my universe, and   
   leave yours behind") the dreamer looked *up* at the night sky and noticed   
   aloud (to myself, as it were): "There's NO FRAME!"  It was just like only the   
   sky above and the ground    
   below and the building off to the right and possibly a barn or such further   
   ahead (as if there were a gap / yard space between the building and the barn.)   
      
   The characters from the dream were seen in the area of the barn, but the   
   dreamer decided to {take a look inside} the house.  I know, J.C. had left   
   instructions to the effect of [don't go in my house] although, in all honesty,   
   that's "not-based ideology,"    
   where the last instructions "heard" were "go in my house"— so of course,   
   that's where "I" (the dreamer) went.  From the original position in the yard,   
   the dreamer went to the right, as if around to the south (?) side of the   
   house, and in somewhere    
   along that side.   
      
   Inside, the room(s) were of wood flooring, well-lit, yet with the appearance   
   of being rather "bare":  as if someone had cleared the home in preparation of   
   selling it.
