   Richard Silk to All   
   2023/07/04 Tuesday: (Happy 4th of July (   
   04 Jul 23 10:13:23   
   
   From: dicksilk@gmail.com   
      
   Had a *slew* of dreams.  Sorta delayed typing them up in the hopes of getting   
   *some* evaporation.  But they are still *largely* "fresh":   
      
   Sky Walking / Walking on Air:   
   The dreamer was walking parallel to a line (queue) of people on a sidewalk,   
   perpendicular to a door: Τ-shaped, with the top bar of the T being the wall   
   of the building, and the | sidewalk / pathway being "perpendicular to" the   
   door set within the wall.   
      
   For whatever reason, the dreamer simply "walked over their heads" to the   
   building, *possibly* being analogous to being the sole admin of a discussion   
   space (like DiscussingJesus.quora.com or more likely, today, The   
   ibleSpace.quora.com) and checking out    
   the submission queue.   
      
   Clarity: "Cool!"   
      
   The Cult: (?)   
   The dreamer was (barely) listening to some codger pontificate, as if lecturing   
   others as if the codger were some kind of religious authority.   
      
   There was some component of food within this dream, and *much* of this section   
   is what I've allowed to evaporate, as any food within a dream is *more often   
   than not* a form of temptation.  (Note:  *possibly* NOT ALWAYS, but "more   
   often than not".)  There    
   were also other people involved with the aspect of the food, much like   
   cafeteria workers, but more like in the way of "security monitors" keeping an   
   eye out for who might need any "special" attention.  It had a rather   
   "Jamestown" quality to it.   
      
   The dreamer seemed to be aloof of such concerns, and indifferent for some   
   reason towards the food, and at least one guy questioned the dreamer regarding   
   the food / obedience situation, to which the dreamer simply dismissed the   
   question / discussion /    
   inquiry / investigation as easily as exhaling.  Clarity "concerning" yet "not   
   a problem," clarity 9-ish.   
      
   Dick Van Dyke:   
   The dreamer is walking by a small, round table (like a dining table on a   
   restaurant floor) and seated there is Dick Van Dyke, albeit looking in his   
   prime, along with another guy who looked a bit like him.   
      
   The dreamer said (in recognition): "Dick Van Dyke!" to which the Dick   
   character looked at the dreamer and (possibly) asked, "Who are you?" (in a   
   kind way, rather than rudely, more like in the sense of "Do I know you?")   
      
   The dreamer also identified the other guy seated there, Dick's brother, Jerry,   
   although the dreamer *may* have used an incorrect name, but the "idea" of "he   
   is your brother" was conveyed within the words that were used.   
      
   Now I've gotta admit, I have a lack of full clarity at times within dreams,   
   that is, I sometimes fail to recognize that there is no sense of "time" within   
   a dream.  This was one of those times, sort of:   
      
   Looking at the youthful appearance of the actor, the dreamer asked:  "What   
   year is this?" as if expecting the people at the table to be able to answer.    
   (There *may* have been Mary Tyler Moore seated between the two brothers, but   
   if she *was* there, she    
   was *other than* the focus of the discussion.)   
      
   They all just had a quizzical look on their faces, as if to ask, "What???" or   
   "What's 'time'?" as if the question were utterly alien, or possibly from a   
   source of mental infirmity.   
      
   The dreamer was trying to figure it out based on Van Dyke's appearance,   
   thinking in the era of the black & white early '60s of "The Dick Van Dyke   
   Show," so then asked, "The '60s?" (No response.) "The late '50s?" (Still no   
   response.)  "The *forties???*" (   
   No response.)   
      
   About that time, the dreamer began thinking "forwards" and thought something   
   like, "It's *got* to be at *least* the '70s by now" though before the current   
   "NOW" of 2023 could be brought to conscious focus, the dream ended, clarity   
   10-.   
      
   Dragon in the Hay:   
   The dreamer was traveling (as if by car or whatever, it was *faster* than   
   walking) in an area *similar* to: north on Asbury Lane, right on Asbury Road,   
   yet perhaps "further" north than Asbury Road, such as I-840 east, through the   
   mid-top area of    
   Rutherford County (over the northern boundary of Murfreesboro City Limits.)   
      
   While a *good deal* of this dream has also "evaporated," one of the things   
   observed during the journey was to the dreamer's right (as the dreamer was   
   traveling eastward along the I-840 reference, thus "looking southward") where   
   was seen something    
   somewhat "undefined" off in the distance, *similar* to an abstract dragon   
   shape, as if made by straw and plywood, as if an artistic sculpture, which   
   just now occurred to me might be akin to one of the "beasts" described in the   
   Book of the Revelation of    
   Saint John of Jesus Christ, namely, the "Red Dragon."   
      
   I'm wondering if China *may* have bought some of the land in the area.  We   
   know from modern news reports that China is currently developing a military   
   outpost in Cuba.   
      
   Gonna go with "Clarity 7" here, even though it may be closer to 9+/10-.
