   Likely somewhere between 4 AM and 5 AM this morning, the dreamer was viewing a   
   rather beautiful scene involving water cascading over a wall, in the manner of   
   a water fall, with the wall being in the manner of a stone slab construction,   
   as if someone had    
   carved out a single slab of marble of at least 20 yards (60 feet) wide by   
   perhaps 10' high, then set it up as if it were a wall holding back the earth   
   behind it, except that there was something like an entrance doorway in the   
   center of the wall, with a    
   classic keystone over the center.  A keystone is a 5-sided stone that's wider   
   across the top, narrower across the bottom, giving it a V shape   
   (more like a \_/ shape)   
   that is typically set at the top center of an *arch* (a rounded doorway lined   
   with stones,   
   like this: ∩ ) so that any gravitational force pressing against the sides   
   will press the top of the arch equally from both sides against the center   
   "keystone" (sometimes called a "capstone," depending upon usage.)   
      
   At any rate, water was cascading over this wall, as if it were designed to do   
   so, and looking wonderful even in the dim lighting, when the view changed to   
   that as if from an aerial drone, or like a person sitting in a hot air balloon   
   looking westward,    
   when the cascading water view was the center focus point of a much larger   
   vista:   
      
   The view was as if I myself were looking westward from above the home of the   
   house across the street from my childhood home on Scottland Drive, and the   
   lighting was "glorious" (to use a single word)— imagine the most golden,   
   yellow with crimson red    
   highlights you've ever seen in a sunset, in a view of at least 135° to   
   perhaps 180° (from north to south, viewing west) only lit as if it were   
   morning (with the sun behind you to the east.)   
      
   Not only all that, but there was like a *massive wall* of cascading water   
   (more like in a bowed, horseshoe arrangement) behind the view of the home (on   
   Scottland Drive) as if somehow Niagara Falls and Victoria Falls were just   
   place names, whereas this    
   view was *divine* (to say the least) with the golden/yellow/crimson lighting   
   that was illuminating the scene.   
      
   The dreamer (who was thinking / feeling *very* "first person" at the moment)   
   either said (or thought) "I've gotta get my camera for this!" and, feeling   
   like a dark shadow in the glory of the beauty of the scene, made some type of   
   movement as if {down to    
   the left} so as to somehow {go to get a tablet/camera} and the dream ended,   
   clarity "Heavenly" (to possibly understate it, if possible.)   
      
   The *only* possible "interpretation" that comes to mind (at the moment) to   
   account for *any* of this comes from the words of Jesus, as recorded in John   
   4:14— "But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed,   
   the water I give him will    
   become in him a fount of water springing up to eternal life." †   
      
   One curious side note to all of this:  there was no "flooding" in evidence.    
   That is, even with all that flowing water, *in both dreams,* there was no   
   flooding visible, whatsoever.
