   Today's been a shade hectic:  Mom in the hospital, calling me around 7:30 AM   
   (I'd *just* walked into the kitchen when the phone rang) and telling me she   
   needs me.  I told her I needed to mow the yard a bit, and would be in around   
   an hour later.  (   
   Probably longer, just sayin', but that's what I told her.)   
      
   With mowing, showering, exercising the dog (she runs in the grass / sides of   
   the street while I drive slowly) and having to make a double-trip to the   
   vehicle registration place (to get plates for the disabled—  when I got   
   there the first time I    
   realized I'd left my wallet at home and had to fetch it / come back) only to   
   find I needed the doctor's form to *also* have her signature, I finally   
   arrived somewhere around lunch, and began "turning up the heat" on the fact   
   that her echo-cardiogram (   
   that was ordered *Friday or Saturday!*) was the holdup, turning her 2-day   
   hospital visit into a 4+ day ordeal.  (The longer the elderly remain in a sick   
   bed, the less likelier they are to get *up*!)   
      
   At any rate, we got the echo done this afternoon, and I had the foresight to   
   bring my laptop with me to the hospital, so I can get this typing done rather   
   than sit here mindlessly.   
      
   I had occasion to make a *few* notes this morning, as the length and   
   complexity of the series of dreams before waking were *significant,* so we'll   
   see just how much I can recall (although I'm certain the amount of detail will   
   be much less in the    
   transcription than the actual (dream) events!)   
      
   Starting with: Box van w/video display on front grille:   
      
   The dreamer was aware of a box van "outside" to the left, aimed right (as if   
   parked along the curb, American style) and the dreamer asked someone (or   
   someone may have drawn attention to) what was on the front of the vehicle   
   (where the old-fashioned    
   radiator grills were located, between the headlights on a modern, box-like   
   van.)   
      
   Now this is *just a hunch, due to something that happened IRL shortly before   
   starting to type all this up, but that box van *may* have been akin to an   
   animal control vehicle, and the images (like on a flat screen TV) *could* have   
   been some memes shared    
   on Fascist-Book ("Facebook") but *none* of that was apparent or made clearly   
   known within the dream.  Clarity 8-, as it was *as if* it were a dusky time.   
      
   Various people, feeling like of the shelter-type:   
      
   All I can remember about this note is that there were several people,   
   including at least one (semi-dominant / predominant type) male, and it was as   
   if they wanted something.  (Mostly forgotten, but this next note tends to   
   blend in with it:)   
      
   Invitation to someone to come along (?) / move in (?):  It was either someone   
   asking the dreamer to move in, or the dreamer asking someone to move in.    
   Sorry, it's now late afternoon (16:30 = 4:30 PM, CDT) and so much of this is   
   already evaporated.  I'm    
   lucky to have even taken these liner notes:   
   Children (at least 2) present. (Soooo much evaporation...!)   
      
   Pair of dogs, one ran off with suit jacket and tie:  This one was funny (and a   
   bit frustrating):  The dreamer saw two dogs, one medium large (perhaps the   
   size of a border collie, but more of a "rougher" breed) and a smaller one   
   (*maybe* the size of a    
   dachshund, possibly larger) and the bigger of the two had *my* (the dreamer's)   
   (2-piece) suit jacket *and tie* in its mouth and was tussling with it all   
   around a field area (similar to the front lawn of Grace Lutheran Church on   
   Clark Blvd.) and while the    
   thought of that in real life would be something of a very unpleasant   
   situation, in the dream, the dreamer was more like "they're just being dogs"   
   (or something similar to that.)  Clarity 8.   
      
   Impending marriage, getting things lined up beforehand, Brother-in-Law (type   
   character) gave a *huge* Viagra capsule (never used in the dream, roughly 2"   
   in length, like a giant capsule) then the dreamer, *at the alter,* had a   
   moment of dread that the    
   wedding ring was missing, yet somehow it was suddenly found, but the moment of   
   exchanging vows were *barely a split second*, bringing into question whether   
   or not any were actually exchanged— when the dreamer recalled viewing a ring   
   on a female's    
   finger, thin, silver band with a small (¼ carat?) diamond, but there was no   
   memory of the dreamer ever looking into the eyes of the bride.   
      
   In what was likely a totally different segment, the dreamer discovered   
   peculiar objects about the belly, almost like elements of possibly cartilage   
   were over the tummy area.  Yet when the dreamer went to have them examined,   
   they were gone! (Yay!)     
   Clarity: peculiar.  Parts were just *zip!* and possibly disconnected.   
      
   Bank heist team? checking out a building, ceiling? / people were to pick out   
   (nearly identical) clothes, discovered a few folk were ending up as if dead,   
   discovered button belt, accidentally pressing one on one individual,   
   experiencing something like a    
   muffled *boom!* as if it were a suicide button.   
      
   The dreamer removed the one on the self, as if it were one of those stick-on   
   sensor pads used in hospitals to monitor vital signs, then had to fake being a   
   part of the group for awhile, as like faking being under mind control just   
   long enough to escape (   
   end of dream.)  Clarity 8-.   
      
   Just to give you an idea of how busy (busier than normal) Tuesday was, this is   
   now being posted on Wednesday morning. :-)
