   2023/11/09 Thursday: Sad bunny....   
   09 Nov 23 08:05:29   
   
   From: dicksilk@gmail.com   
      
   The dreamer was walking along a driveway that runs east-to-west (from the   
   street to the back yard) along the southern (shorter) brick wall of a house   
   (just like my childhood home on Scottland Drive.)   
      
   Along this bit of the driveway, there's a grassy strip (about 3 mower widths   
   wide) between the driveway and the southern-facing wall (that gets all the sun   
   in Spring and Fall, and gets a *tad* bit of shade in the middle of the summer.)   
      
   The dreamer is looking to the left (as I often do in real life, to check out   
   the tomatoes and cacti growing there) only to see a small (likely an adult   
   female or young male) cotton tail rabbit, lying upon the ground as does a dog   
   or cat (or even larger    
   animals, such as a horse or cow) rather than sitting up as does a healthy   
   rabbit, only tied with a string to a bush on the left (west.)   
      
   The dreamer had something of a "memory" (within the dream!) of having placed   
   that bunny out there earlier, and thus had a slight pang of guilt, as if the   
   bunny had been left alone in the sun and forgotten about.   
      
   Well, looking at this from a waking perspective, it would make sense that the   
   bunny *could* have been placed out there adjacent to the bush so as to provide   
   it with shade (and cover/protection) possibly as a bit of "yard time" much   
   like how human    
   prisoners are given "yard time" in some form or another, unless they're in   
   some type of solitary confinement.   
      
   But back in the dream, the dreamer was feeling compassion for the bunny (who   
   appeared sleepy-weak) and began pondering setting about possible veterinarian   
   care or possibly freeing of the rabbit, when the dream ended, clarity (rather   
   bright & sunny, like    
   midday!) 10-, although it *may well* be "symbolic" if that bunny actually   
   represents someone (or something) else, such as my elderly mother, who needs   
   to be cared for on a near-constant basis.   
      
   When I was awakening from that sad bunny dream, I was chiding (nearly   
   berating) myself like: "You always had a problem setting wild rabbits free"   
   (which relates to two personal anecdotes, but that's IRL-type content.)
