   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

   balloon looking westward,

   vista:

   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.

   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.   
      
   So later that day, 10/8/2023, the news was CHOCK FULL of the attacks of the   
   Muslim jihadists (AKA "Hamas") against Israel.   
      
   The crimson gold beauty of the image facing west was akin to "red sky at   
   morning" which reminded me of the bit in "The Lord of the Rings" where Legolas   
   says something about a red sky morning, that [blood has been spilled this   
   night] — At any rate, it    
   put me in mind of Moses parting the Red Sea, and I had something of a *!!!*   
   moment in considering that the massive wall of water falls in the distance may   
   have been akin to "having seen *that*" event in conjunction with the present   
   moment, as the roof of    
   the home in the house in the vision had its "brand new roof" in place   
   regarding the new, "architectural" shingles.
