   First, congrats to Sandy$ for getting through that robot check.  For all the   
   effort they went to, it still somehow has *zero* effect on all the spam that   
   gets dumped into this (and certainly *countless* others!) news group.   
      
   Next, at least *one* "catch up" dream that I was too busy to post on mornings   
   past.   
      
   One in particular was a view as of a branch coming from the perspective of   
   just to the left of a tree trunk: the branch was maybe 4"–6" in diameter   
   near the trunk (there was no actual view *of* the trunk, nor was there any   
   other sized object available    
   for scale reference) and extending at least 4' out to the left.  (Mind you, it   
   could have been pointing in *any* direction *outward* from the trunk, but   
   that's just the perspective seen from the narrative mind / view of the   
   dreamer.)  The end of the    
   branch was *perhaps* 2"–3" in diameter.   
      
   On the branch were about a half-dozen children, at least 3 or maybe 4,   
   possibly more, and rather than full-human-sized children, these were seen as   
   just faces, almost as if they were blossoms on a branch.   
      
   There was some type of thrust up against the bottom of the branch, as if from   
   a left-handed palm-thrust / strike, not enough to dislodge it from the trunk,   
   but it did set the limb to vibrating rapidly, nearly fast enough to produce a   
   low hum, although    
   there was no sound within the dream itself.   
      
   Also, it wasn't vibrating like a branch that would be swaying in the wind, or   
   [sproinging] like a diving board, but rather vibrating as if it were a tuning   
   fork or guitar string producing 3 or 4 (or more) harmonics along the length of   
   the branch, yet the    
   faces of the children remained in place (without falling or shaking off the   
   branch.  They also all appeared to be facing the dreamer's perspective.)   
      
   The dreamer actually reached both hands forward to "mute" it from the top and   
   the bottom of the structure (branch, limb) so that the branch became still,   
   then the dream ended.  Gonna give this a "clarity 7" (symbolic) because I'm of   
   the opinion that they    
   all represent a "branch" of the "Silk" family tree, that being, my offspring.    
   (The faces *could easily* have represented my children in their cherubic-age   
   photos.  The face (on the branch) closest *to* the trunk was the last child I   
   fathered, that being    
   Alyssa, of when she was around age 3 or 4.)   
      
   Last night (actually between 3 AM and 8 AM this morning) I dreamt I ("the   
   dreamer") was riding a bicycle along a road, similar to a rather wide section   
   of road such as the entrance ramp from a local road onto an interstate, but   
   there were no other    
   vehicles on this road, just the dreamer, sitting on a bicycle, push-rolling   
   forwards by using feet to the surface.  Why the dreamer wasn't using the   
   pedals? There was no answer to that question, although it *did* seem to be   
   "heard," but there was some    
   type of reply like, "Maybe this bike has no chain..." but the response was   
   like, "This is gonna be a *long* ride...." (/trip/journey)   
      
   The next scene, the dreamer was on a *nice* (freshly, newly paved) road, with   
   at *least* 2" of asphalt, possibly up to 4", again on a bicycle, and again, no   
   other vehicles, but I *think* the dreamer *may* have had pedal power along   
   this section.   
      
   Either way, a *lot* of admiration / praise was being emoted over the condition   
   of the roadway, and a note of [community pride] was felt for the overall   
   reputation for the *excellent* condition of "Tennessee Roads" (those quoted   
   words *were* "heard" in    
   the narrative mind of the dreamer!)   
      
   The next scene was as if the dreamer had arrived at the destination, that   
   being some type of bare-walls building (white walls) of bare rooms (seriously,   
   just floor/ceiling/4 walls) even though there was at least 1 room (that was   
   entered) and one hallway (   
   rather wide, yet bare) and the dreamer was carrying along a bag of cable,   
   similar to CAT-5 or even maybe CAT-8 cable that is (commonly) used for   
   networking computers either together in an office, or to a hub/router of some   
   kind.  (In real life, I run *   
   blue* CAT-6 level cables from my WiFi modem/router, under the floor, under the   
   house, to the two far-northern-end bedrooms, so those two PCs get 10 Gbps   
   level (*hah!*) connections.  Whether the data from the provider flows at full   
   speeds, or not, is    
   another issue, along with the reception speed of the NICs of the units.)   
      
   In the dream, a few elements are going on:   
   1) The dreamer is laying cable from the first room entered (or aware of during   
   the dream) along the hallway, as if to reach a destination that may *somehow*   
   be "Gina-related," as if maybe the cable is being laid to reach *her* computer   
   (?)    
   1b) there was a second *section* (or *length*) of cable that had been added to   
   the first (much like plugging in one electrical extension cord into another,   
   only CAT cables typically *avoid* using junctures IRL due to decrease in   
   signal speed) and    
   although the first cable *may* have started out as orange, this last cable was   
   *clearly* yellow, no mistaking that color on a network CAT cable (apparently   
   around CAT 5E or CAT 6, RJ-45 type plugs.)   
   2) During the laying out of the 2nd section of cable (that ran out in the   
   hallway) the dreamer realizes a few things:   
   a) "I knew I shoulda brought that third length of cable."   
   b) "Where did I leave my clothes?"   
   c) "Where's the bag I was using for the cable?"   
   d) "Now I'm naked, can't find the bag, and can't find my clothes.  What next?"   
   (yet all those elements were pretty much in the space of a single moment in   
   dream time.)   
   3) There *may* have been someone else present in the building / area of the   
   dreamer.  There was certainly the *sense* of someone else (possibly female,   
   possibly Gina) in the building, *near* the dreamer.  There *may* have been   
   someone heard speaking.   
      
   Fortunately, that somewhat embarrassing moment *ended*, clarity 9+ (as that   
   road was *excellent!* and the yellow of the cable was *perfect!*)   
      
   I know a *number* of dreams have evaporated.  Sorry.  Busy week, relatively   
   speaking.
