      From: dicksilk@gmail.com              While there were possibly a few dreams prior to the dream before waking, the       "DBW" was so entertaining that whatever came before appears forgotten (at       least for the moment.)              As you may be aware, I have a "stupid phone" (simple feature flip phone, what       the TV and movies refer to as a "burner") that has an FM radio app (that uses       wired headphones as an antenna) that I place on my window sill (at low volume)       every night so as        to listen to a particular radio station (K-Love.com / WLVU Nashville-Franklin)       although apparently it has its own app (for virtual prayer requests, etc.) as       well as is available via I❤️Radio.              Normally, the music (if ever noticed) helps put me back to sleep, however,       there's this particularly lively number that has been on the charts for some       time, called "Build a Boat" (by Colton Dixon) although there's this *other*       version (with Gabby        Barrett) that is musically "richer" due to the female harmony mix       (youtu.be/l03zlohkmQ0).              This is the backdrop "in real life" (IRL) of what was going on beside my bed       likely between 6:30 AM and 7:AM, although it's *possible* it was the "original       version" of "Build a Boat" with just Colton Dixon. Yet here's what was going       on in "dream world":              The dreamer was in a well-lit room, somewhat like a community gathering zone,       like for teens at a Church, or *possibly* at a school (cafeteria?) as a coffee       shop would be too dim.              "Build a Boat" (uncertain as to "which version") was playing (IRL *and* was       heard within the dream!) and the dreamer, not much ever inclined to dancing,       began doing something of a pantomime of sailing, as if at the wheel of a       whaler (the old fashioned        ship's wheel that you could put donuts on the spindles) and was small-stepping       / possibly wobbling as if at sea, making left and right turns around the       floor, miming the spinning wheel (hands cupped *under* the spindles) and sure       enough, some of the        people in the dream began to notice and "get in the spirit" of the scene, as       it were.              The dreamer then moved to the front (right) area of the room, where there was       a table area set up for snacks, and whereas there was a memory of my       (currently favorite) "real life snack" (of a [bag of Fritos chili cheese       chips] mixed with a [bag of Sea        Salt & Vinegar, shelled pistachios] and a [bag of pecan halves]) the dreamer       was looking for whatever happened to the rest of them, then figured it would       perhaps be better to take a sample of what was available at the table.              There were *various* types of breads, cookies, pastries, what have you, but       for some reason the dreamer was being selective, and passed up most of the       obviously sweet-for-tots & teens type pastries and breads, and settled on       something a bit like cinnamon        toast sticks (www.healthymummy.com/recipe/cinnamon-pastry-sticks) that may       have not been *too* sugary in appearance.              People in the dream began to gather at the table snacks, and one item (as if       in a clear bag, like a large freezer baggy or some such) fell to the floor,       where the dreamer was considering the alternatives of A) moving it back up to       the table, or B)        leaving it there as a type of "secret back-up" in the event it was needed       later.              At that point, the dream ended, and I heard "Build a Boat" playing on the       "stupid phone" on the window sill.
