   Dog Up a Tree - Dream Turkey / Chair at Barn Entrance (walk past neighbors'   
   home) / Food Assortment   
      
   Last night, *before* going to bed, a *very long term* family drama was dealt   
   with (or at least started processing, regarding "A(X)") akin to having "a can   
   of worms opened up," which involved a "rural" side of the extended family.    
   Also, there was the    
   part of the early morning *before* the dog got me up, and also the next part   
   of the morning *after* letting the dog back in, at which point I sacked out on   
   the long couch for awhile before rising for the day, so while I'm uncertain as   
   to which parts of    
   which dreams took place when, there were a *few* on the couch!   
      
   "Dog Up a Tree" was where the dreamer became aware of being in a *somewhat*   
   woodsy area, like where each tree is maybe 6'–10' apart from another   
   (*possibly* pines, but seemed more like deciduous, possibly mixed) where the   
   focus of the activity was    
   drawn to the dreamer's dog (around 40–60 lbs, terrier-mix) with paws & claws   
   digging into the bark, as if to chase a squirrel, and as you may be aware,   
   *sometimes* a dog can *actually* climb a tree and get *stuck* in it! (as they   
   barely have the    
   ability to claw & climb their way up, but no ability to do anything in   
   reverse, like some of the typically clever, fully-clawed cats can do.)   
      
   The dreamer's dog actually made it up around 4'–8' up the trunk, to the   
   lower branch(es) where the critter being treed sorta "lost focus" at it was   
   somewhere higher up the tree.  (It had been at Clarity 9 down to 8)  In fact,   
   even the dog "lost focus"    
   as the dreamer's attention was drawn towards a *large* (hefty) bird, swooping   
   down at about a 30° angle (or less) to land atop phone pole, as it was a bit   
   too high to be a fence post, maybe 15'–20'?   
      
   The dreamer took the time to examine the bird, seeking to know what type of   
   bird it was, and the bird fluffed out its tail feathers, whereupon the dreamer   
   immediately identified it as a turkey by its (somewhat light-colored) (fan)   
   tail feathers, fanned    
   out in an arc.  I remember the dreamer thinking, "I thought turkeys had darker   
   (browner) feathers" and the narrative mind replied with something akin to   
   [It's a spiritual turkey (creature/animal/avatar) thus it has lighter colors.]   
      
   Regardless, the dreamer thought the critter "beautiful" and in writing this   
   up, I can't help but remember it as having eyes facing forwards, *possibly*   
   with bluish iris eye color.  *I THINK* I may know who the turkey represents,   
   that of a specific    
   married couple, with the wife's eye color.  Clarity 11-ish, as I think this   
   may have been a 7-symbolic but with brilliant details, thus giving it that   
   11-ish (spiritual, possibly astral) rating.   
      
   "The Chair at Barn Entrance (walk past neighbors' home)" opens with the   
   dreamer *as if waking up* from sleeping, sitting in a sturdy, stationary comfy   
   chair, akin to a recliner chair but without the extending footrest and without   
   the rocking ability and    
   without *all* the thick padding, similar to furniture of the 1940s & '50s   
   (*similar* to this one, but with much darker brown fabric, possibly   
   leather-like: twitter.com/dicksilk/status/1681709349184389123/photo/1 )   
      
   As the dreamer arises from the chair, the dreamer notices the (typical,   
   farm-style) barn, with the large, square entrance at the center, so that a   
   tractor can simply drive right across the ground and into the middle of the   
   barn.  The dreamer took a    
   moment to appreciate the construction (and "cultural beauty," if you will) of   
   the barn, then turned to walk elsewhere.  IF {facing the barn} had been   
   {facing "north"} (just as a reference point) then the dreamer turned to the   
   right, east, and the scene    
   somewhat *skipped* forward, as if the dreamer had landed on the driveway   
   (headed east as well) that opened onto the road running north-south in front   
   of a home to the south of the driveway (and west of the road.)   
      
   The dreamer *felt* as if he'd woken up at "someone else's barn" (such as a   
   neighbor's barn) and also felt as if he were walking down *someone else's   
   driveway* to get to the road, whereupon the dreamer turned right (to the   
   south) and began walking (   
   southward) down the right side of the road (which is customary as the legal   
   direction to walk along a road in America.)   
      
   The dreamer *also* took a look to the right (westward) towards the house,   
   which appeared similar to a typical country home for the not-so-rich, possibly   
   poor to just-scraping-to-get-by, as the house looked like it had "character"   
   yet no fresh paint or    
   carpentry / repair work.  That is to say, it could *easily* have housed a   
   number of field mice (voles) as well as humans, cats, dogs, etc.  (But I admit   
   to a type of fondness for the character of any rugged, rough-looking, country   
   house-type structure.)   
      
   There was a couple, *as if* a youthful husband and wife (maybe in their early   
   twenties?) on the front (east facing) porch area (like an extension of the   
   floor beyond the outside of the house, over the ground, *possibly* covered by   
   a porch roof / covering,   
    but the view was as if twilight, and the couple were *not* lit in any way,   
   like from a porch light) bustling *as if* they were possibly involved in   
   moving furniture in some manner (although none was visible out on the porch,   
   so they may have been having    
   a discussion as if during a break.  It *may* have been an argument, but   
   nothing specific was heard to support that suggestion.)   
      
   The dreamer had some kind of thought as to how lucky there were to have a home   
   in which to live and a roof over their heads, but I have no recollection of   
   anything having been actually said *to* the couple, as the dreamer felt as if   
   having just exited    
   their property, it might be better to simply remain unobserved and keep   
   walking.  End of dream.  The section of waking up and rising up out of a chair   
   was *very* life-like, around clarity 10 / 9++, while the walk down the   
   driveway (following the *skipped*   
    distance) was like a 9, and the walk along the road outside their house was   
   like a 9- - due to the twilight / dusk time setting (of approaching night /   
   darkness.)
