   So this may well likely have been (as in "most likely was") prompted as   
   Landon's 15th birthday is tomorrow (which means Alyssa's 15th birthday will be   
   in January of '24) as those two have always been something of a pair.  (Logan,   
   the older brother, will    
   be 17 this coming September, and is practically an independent nation by   
   comparison.  Currently, they're 16,14,14.  Tomorrow, they'll be 16,15,14.  On   
   Logan's birthday this year, their ages will be 17, 15, 14, as Landon and   
   Alyssa being less than a year    
   apart qualify as what some folk refer to as "Irish twins."  Aly (pronounces as   
   "Allie") will "catch up" to Landon for around 36 days (between January and   
   February) when they'll be 17, 15, 15. All 3 were born of JAT, while only Logan   
   was DNA tested and    
   thus appears to be my biological son.  Regardless, all their original birth   
   records list me as their father.  JAT turned 18 in October of 2005 and moved   
   in with me a week later.)   
      
   At any rate, there are 3 different segments, and while I'm *very unsure* as to   
   which order they appeared chronologically / sequentially last night, this is   
   just a writing of what I can remember of those dream segments from last night   
   / this morning:   
      
   The toilet throne?—  The dreamer is sitting *on* a commode, only it's   
   double-high, practically as if one commode were stacked atop one beneath it,   
   yet the inner chamber is one chamber, and I'm *fairly* certain the dreamer had   
   just finished leaving a    
   bowel movement.  (Although it's *extremely* unusual to have a bowel movement   
   in a dream, and far more common to have to simply take a leak / urinate, I   
   suspect such is very much like making something of a confession in some   
   manner, ridding one's dream    
   life of the analogous dream-equivalent of bodily waste, whatever that might   
   be— emotional drama / excrement?)   
      
   There's a problem, as if the commode is "backing up" / about to overflow, even   
   though the dreamer is thinking there wasn't *that* much content in the bowl,   
   and possibly JAT had left something in the bowl (after all, the seat was at   
   practically 4' high)    
   and the water from the flush seemed to be *right at* the top level, very   
   nearly about to flow out onto the floor (which would've made a really ugly   
   mess) and there was practically a thought running through the dreamer's mind   
   as if to mentally HOLD the    
   water back, like {stop right there— not another drop!}  I'm fairly certainly   
   many folk (in real life) have had a similar experience, as if willing the   
   water flow to stop *before* it flows over the rim onto the floor.   
      
   At any rate, the dreamer asked one of the kids (possibly Alyssa) to hand him a   
   plunger.  If the bowl were at top center, 12 noon on a clock face, the dreamer   
   was at around 5 o'clock, looking at the bowl, and the plunger was somewhere on   
   the left side of    
   the bowl, like around between 8 o'clock to 11 o'clock, and Alyssa was a bit   
   further due left, such as at around 9 o'clock.  Thus, she was able to pick up   
   the plunger that was slightly ahead of her position, between her and the bowl,   
   and hand it to the    
   dreamer, who then began to plunge the bowl.   
      
   At this point, I'd also like to mention that, historically, it was typically   
   JAT (the mother of the 3 kids) who would typically (sometimes almost daily!)   
   clog up the bowl, and it was typically (if not always) me that would plunge it   
   clean, although I'd *   
   also* like to point out that, while the kids were basically removed from the   
   parents by (?) 2012 (my memory/timeline of those days is *extremely* sketchy)   
   that would put their ages at *maybe* ~5/4/3, but in the plunger section of   
   this dream, Alyssa    
   appeared tall enough to be a young teen— she turned 14 IRL last month.   
      
   So the dreamer (in this case, most likely "me," a male) was plunging the   
   toilet (the handle had to have been at *least* 3' to reach the bottom of the   
   bowl, but at this point, the toilet seemed basically "normal" in size) using   
   *at least* 3 cycles (of    
   down/up) and while there was a *brief* concern / worry as to whether or not   
   this particular clog would clear, it was on like the 4th plunge-down stroke   
   that it did, and the water in the bowl all went down just like in a normal   
   toilet-bowl-plunging event (   
   IRL.)   
      
   There was another segment, wherein the dreamer (again, in this case, very   
   likely a dream-version of myself) was explaining to Alyssa that everything in   
   the home environment costs money:  clothes, furniture, appliances, even things   
   like curtains, sheets,    
   pillows & pillow cases, etc.  (There's likely a word for indoor furnishings,   
   like linens & things, but the only words that come to mind is the analogy of   
   hardware and software in the cyber-world:  the physical structure being the   
   hardware, and all the    
   movable / *easily* changeable stuff inside the structure is the software.)   
      
   Finally, there was this rather — odd — segment wherein the dreamer was   
   viewing Landon and Alyssa both lying down (clothed) in side-by-side bath tubs   
   of water, with their heads and perhaps hands above the water lines, and this   
   was (unquestionably) the    
   most peculiar of the 3 segments, even more than the double-height commode, in   
   my opinion.   
      
   OK, here's a possible interpretation of the double-height commode:  there's   
   always "two stories" to every perspective on how things were or happened, such   
   as in "family drama/history" for example.  Yet there was one issue: clogged   
   sewage flow, and one    
   resolution (the clog was cleared, the flow restored.)   
      
   In this side-by-side bathtub scene, it could easily be stated that each child   
   (Landon as well as Alyssa) had / have their own perspective on the world /   
   their lives, as indicated by their each being visible in water:  they each   
   have their own, respective    
   lives, yet they were in one room (their adoptive family in which they   
   currently live) and in the dream were seen what appeared to be something like   
   tubes and/or wires leading into their tubs.  As they are both minors, those   
   could very easily be analogous    
   to support-feeds, such as food and electricity (life) from their legal parents.   
      
   So while this is all very likely clarity 7 (symbolic) the general clarity was   
   easily a 9, as everything was well lit, as if in a home of the early (2000s)   
   millennia.
