   Not in any specific order:   
      
   The dreamer was driving a vehicle similar to a Tesla (electric) and there   
   appeared to be an actual dump truck acting as if it were competing in a   
   one-on-one race.  As it's now nearly 2 PM (as I'm typing this) and I've   
   already been to Church as well as    
   shopping (and lunch) there's a bit of evaporation, although I recall there was   
   very little understanding of what was going on & why in the first place, other   
   than the dreamer / driver of the Tesla knew that the *instant torque* of the   
   Tesla was more than    
   enough to catch & overcome the dump truck in a flash, so the dreamer allowed   
   the dump truck something of a head start.   
      
   Curiously, the dream ended *before* a resolution presented itself, so I'm   
   somewhat reminded of Aesop's fable regarding the Tortoise and the Hare.    
   Clarity 8-ish.   
      
   There was a bit of activity involving something like a hallway (going   
   basically north-south) with a *large* room (or possibly rooms) off to the   
   left.  The scene was largely white, as in white halls, white walls, and while   
   the light was also white, it was    
   of a normal, pleasant luminosity level.   
      
   There was some activity *as if* someone were wanting to leave the room /   
   building, but the dreamer points out that there is some new AC (air   
   conditioning) that's been added, so that at least *one* room as an   
   air-conditioner (wall mounted / window mounted    
   type) unit.  As the dream ended at that point, there was no actual resolution   
   as to whether the guy came back (or not) but the dreamer was a bit glad of the   
   addition of the AC unit(s.)  Clarity 8+/9-.   
      
   There was another scene involving a building *similar* to a school, *similar*   
   in shape to the main floor at CHS / CMS (it has changed a bit over the years,   
   from a high school, to a middle school, to a magnate school, etc.) on East   
   Main Street in    
   Murfreesboro TN.  The view / activity had *something* to do with a device   
   *similar* to a network router or modem, located at or near the center of the   
   main wall, opposite the main (front) entrance.   
      
   Relative to the CH/MS in M'boro, the main doors face south, the main hallways   
   runs east-west, and that coming in through those main doors and going up *to*   
   that main wall would have the dreamer facing north, facing the "south side" of   
   the east-west wall    
   along the east-west corridor.   
      
   *Somewhere about* the *center point* of that wall, there was this electronic   
   device that seemed to be serving as the communication hub of the building,   
   similar to a "central Wi-Fi hot spot" or possibly similar to a central server   
   for the infrastructure    
   of the building, a "node."  And while there's practically nothing remembered   
   *about* this segment, other than the existence of the device and it's   
   location, the clarity is around 8 to 8- (due to lack of any context.)   
      
   Two Trees (in a yard):  While this dream *may* be *possibly* "out of sequence"   
   with the rest of the dreams of the evening, still, I'd like to journal it here   
   at this point, prior to going into the nearly-racy dream before waking:   
      
   The dreamer is in a rather large, front yard, similar to a country estate   
   where there's a (north-south?) road with no formal curb, just that beside the   
   road (eastward) is a large front yard, the "border" of which is defined by the   
   road itself.   
      
   The dreamer is walking eastward, as if toward a house or manor of some type,   
   and sees two rather large, fairly old trees off to the left.  (I've seen a   
   tree *in real life* with a *fairly* large trunk of around age 50 years, so the   
   age of these trees was    
   likely between 50 to 100 years, likely closer to the side of 50+.)   
      
   And although the dreamer was about to continue past them, I *think* the   
   dreamer was having a thought regarding the need for some pruning / maintenance   
   of some of the lower branches of those trees. As the dreamer was walking past   
   them dreamer's attention    
   was directed *back* towards the two trees (by the omniscient, narrative mind,   
   perhaps?) so as to take a closer look at them:   
      
   They were both of *some* age. The one in better condition had a trunk of at   
   least 2' diameter, possibly closer to 3', and had s *sense* of "Spanish Moss"   
   about the leaves & branches.  The main trunk / branches / limbs all seemed to   
   be basically growing "   
   upwards" in a manner that was clear of any observable need of "landscaping" or   
   "tree sculpting."  This is in regards to a "sense" I have within me everywhere   
   I go:  If I see a tree that has branches *descending* from a branch growing   
   *upwards,* then *if    
   that lower branch is in reach,* I'll cut or saw or prune it in some manner,   
   that there's no "dangling branch(es)" that may hit someone in the face (of my   
   height) if walking under the tree at night, in the dark.  I sorta got this   
   *thing about* getting    
   poked in the eye at night by a low-hanging branch.  My property back on Asbury   
   Lane was *like a manicured park* it looked so good.   
      
   At any rate, the *other* tree was in *questionable* condition:  it had two   
   main trunks from out of the ground, yet upon closer inspection, one of the   
   trunks appeared "gone" as if it had either rotted away or somehow simply been   
   removed from beside the    
   other trunk.   
      
   As to the remaining trunk, I *think* there was a lower branch descending from   
   an upper branch, and I *think* the dreamer wrested the descending branch from   
   the upward growing limb.  I *think* the dreamer did that.  It could be that   
   such an image was    
   simply in my memory and may have been "dropped into" the dream, sort of like a   
   cut&paste of text into a pre-existing paragraph.   
      
   Either way, the dreamer had a kind of "mental note" to take another look at   
   that tree at some point in the future, which is very much like how a landowner   
   (or groundskeeper) might "bookmark" a plant for later review.  Regardless, the   
   dream ended then,    
   and I've got a real hunch it was of a clarity 7, as in a type of symbolic   
   dream regarding "family trees."  Otherwise, it was like anywhere from an 8- to   
   an 8+.   
      
   The "dream before waking" was a bit of an R-to-X- to G-rated dream.    
   Basically, "all over the map" ratings-wise.  Either way, I'll "clean up" some   
   of the graphic X-section so as to make it more PG-13, such that an "aware   
   adult" will understand what it's    
   discussing:
