   3/26/2024 Tuesday:   
   26 Mar 24 09:23:09   
   
   From: Richard.Silk@Juno.Com   
      
   Turns out, another "perk" of getting to write up my dreams from last night on   
   the Windows XP system is that it *also* includes the nifty F5 button in   
   Notepad.exe, which provides a time stamp: 09:03 AM 3/26/2024   
      
   This helps double-check against my getting a date wrong (which is easy enough   
   on   
   its own.  I still have to double-check which day of the week it is.)   
      
   This morning, before waking (less than a half hour ago?) the dreamer was as if   
   in a large vehicle (such as an SUV or perhaps a larger van, but likely smaller   
   than a small tour bus) with several people (all feeling like family members)   
   and   
   there's a type of "overall view" of where the vehicle is heading, *sort of*   
   like   
   watching a GPS display.  All the dreamer really cared about was heading   
   "northward" (towards the BNA airport, Barry Field, Nashville) and observes that   
   at a particular point, there's simply a left turn needed to go westish, into a   
   large parking lot (like with *several* rows available, possibly 8 to 12 (or   
   more?) and a width of at least 100 cars) and the "challenge" gets to be parking   
   as far left in the parking lot (as close to the terminal, which is farther   
   left)   
   as possible.   
      
   The vehicle parks originally near the right-most (eastish) border, and there's   
   some foot traffic to visually examine for closer parking lots (which sort of   
   defeats the purpose, although the van is still packed with luggage, apparently)   
   and about 50% of the dream time is spent examining the various widths of the   
   parking spots (because they do vary in width) and the dreamer directs a female   
   (who was a LOT like my eldest sister, Sherry) to stand in one spot so as to   
   reserve it, although it was as if the dreamer was on a slightly lower level of   
   the parking lot, as if there may have been a foot or two difference between the   
   parking level / surface and the walking area just beyond the parking lot's   
   left-most edge.   
      
   The female is indicating that the lot in which she's standing may be too   
   narrow,   
   and the dreamer gets up to the parking area beside her and views the   
   surrounding   
   areas from *her* perspective, and sure enough, the *widths* of the lots appear   
   somewhat different than they appear from the level at which the dreamer had   
   just   
   been standing.   
      
   There's a good moment or two evaluating the selection of lots, and the dreamer   
   is considering simply leaving the vehicle parked where it is, and simply   
   schlepping the luggage to the terminal on foot.   
      
   The dream ends *about* here, as the dreamer was *also* considering getting the   
   vehicle and simply driving it down to the leftmost edge and just scanning for a   
   parking lot the "olde fashioned way," by crusing along, looking for a choice   
   location.  Clarity 9-, basically, although the section where the route being   
   taken was viewed as if from an arial, bird's-eye view (or an angled GPS) was   
   more like "Clarity: guidance."   
      
   There was another blip of a clip earlier, in which some folk were discussing   
   *something* that required a decision of "opinion," and the question was put to   
   my (recently departed) mother, who looked briefly (her blue eyes were clearly   
   visible) and made a *very* quick blip of a reply, which translated as   
   *something* akin to:  "I'm dead; you figure it out."   
      
   The dreamer understood then that she would be "unavailable for comment," as   
   they   
   say.
