   weekend getaway?   
      
   Journey / Returning Vehicles:   
   The "end" of the dream is remembered most, which brings the beginning of the   
   dream more into recollection (which is otherwise evaporated):  The dreamer was   
   returning a small (dark green hull, aluminum?) boat (more like a duck hunting   
   boat than a fishing    
   boat: the interior was basically open, just an empty hull) back to a   
   land-based parking area (such as one of those external driveways that is   
   basically a wide patch from a garage down to the street.)   
      
   There's a hunch that the boat was being dropped off as the dreamer got into a   
   "Jeep"-like vehicle (of the modern type, rather than the military horse from   
   the WWII—Viet Nam era.)   
      
   This dream (while lit as if daylight on an overcast day) seemed to have   
   sub-elements within it, such as two *or more* people forming something of a   
   chain:  If working backwards from when the boat was dropped off, then the boat   
   had been used to carry 2 or    
   more people ("Team 1") to the driveway wherein the boat was dropped off,   
   presumably the boat owner (male) *may* have lived there (*possibly* with a   
   significant other) so the dreamer drove off in the jeep that was taken to get   
   there.   
      
   There's also the hint that the boat had come from a previous scenario in which   
   there were *more* people involved, and whether they were land-or-water-based   
   is unclear.  For instance, just as the dreamer had taken vehicle J to pick up   
   Team 1 with vehicle    
   B, so they had used vehicle B to meet Team 2 and moved into vehicle X, etc.,   
   and even that *may* have had another echo of a journey beyond that point.   
      
   So while the *origin* of the dream is totally unclear / evaporated / possibly   
   never even mentioned, the end of the dream (dropping off the boat and Team 1,   
   driving off in a Jeep) was around clarity 8-ish.   
      
   Young blonde, maybe 5 years old, *clear!* blue eyes?   
   FYI, "blond" is male, "blonde" is female.   
   So the dreamer is simply looking this young female in the face (the image is   
   *of* her face, well-illuminated, yet set against a dark background) and noting   
   how *clear* her eyes appear to be.  She's got a ("sharp"?) look of   
   intelligence, with the barest    
   hint of a smile (possibly recognition / familiarity?)— a bit of an uncommon   
   thing in young kids, who usually wear their emotions on the face, such as   
   either curiosity, joy, excitement, disappointment, sadness, etc.   
      
   Now *although* this was *not* stated (or even narrated!) within the dream, I   
   have a sneakin' hunch (from the perspective of / in the consciously awakened   
   state) that it was a view of my mother back when she was a child, except that   
   she looked more like    
   my sister Sherry would've looked like, *rather* than as she (Mom) would've   
   looked like.   
      
   Analysis:  I have another hunch that, as Mom is "heading into her second" (or   
   possibly third!) childhood, the *matriarchal* line (of daughter's daughter's   
   daughter's...) has *clearly* passed on to Sherry (2 daughters, eldest of which   
   has one daughter)    
   thus, I *think* as Mom gets older and older, her "avatar" (dream persona, if   
   you will) gets more and more "Sherry-like."   
   So while the eyes were super-clear (like 9+ / 10-!) the overall clarity is   
   more like a 7 (symbolic.)   
      
   Attending a public speech?   
   The dreamer is standing (outdoors?) amongst a group of people, mainly in dark   
   clothing, although the scene appears well-lit, again, as if outside on an   
   overcast day.   
      
   There's the *sense* that someone is making a public speech, not unlike a   
   politician giving a stump speech, *or* a person-of-focus giving a dedication   
   of some kind, not unlike a possible "Ted" (type) "Talk" yet perhaps just a   
   hair more sermon-like,    
   certainly with an air of civilian interest to society in some way.   
      
   Sadly, I'm unable to relate what the actual content of the person speaking was   
   all about.  Imagine being a 4'–5' person in the midst of a crowd of 6'   
   people, and the speaker (perhaps 10–15 yards ahead) is barely stepped up,   
   thus having no clear line    
   of sight to the dreamer.   
      
   At any rate, the dreamer seemed to have caught notice of some objects upon the   
   ground, and was preparing to leave the speaking area, but decided to first   
   stoop down to pick up some of those objects before going.  One seemed to be a   
   silvery-looking    
   quarter or half-dollar (do they still mint those??) while the other appeared   
   to be a *very* small penny, of like ¼" to ¹/₃" in diameter, although it   
   was nearly the thickness of a nickle, yet had a reeded circumference (edge,   
   ^v^v^v^v etc.)   
      
   There may have been one or two other objects that were picked up as well from   
   the ground, but after picking up the (coppery?) mini-penny-like object, the   
   dream ended.  Overall clarity, 8- -, due to lack of any narrative whatsoever,   
   other than the dreamer    
   *may* have considered that objects fallen upon the ground *may* have   
   *intrinsic* worth of some kind.   
      
   Visit with Tricia Helfer? (imdb.com/name/nm1065454/bio)   
   The dreamer was *as if* on a kind of "date," possibly a "getting to know you"   
   type encounter, *possibly* at a restaurant or even at a Subway type (sit-in,   
   common eatery) place (like a cafeteria?) and although the female (who looked   
   like, if not as a    
   stand-in for) Tricia Helfer was rather attractive, there was no "oomph" to the   
   meeting, as if a second date was likely "not in the cards" / not enough common   
   interest to form a relationship.  Clarity 8-ish, maybe 9-, as it was   
   "well-lit" (as if in the    
   daytime, in a cafeteria / restaurant.)    
      
   Weekend getaway?   
   The dreamer was *as if* with a handful of people, as if going to a kind of   
   weekend retreat (possibly a few days?) and there was an impression that, upon   
   arrival at what-or-wherever the destination was, the dreamer had the   
   opportunity to "move in first"    
   with (his) stuff.   
      
   There's a sense that it's time to be going home, and people are removing their   
   stuff / heading into the van to ride home.   
      
   The dreamer, however, has found an extra-sized walk-in closet (like a fairly   
   decent-sized *room*, maybe 8'x12'?) and it occurs to the dreamer that this was   
   where he'd first put stuff when he'd first arrived.
