   First, I'd like to say how taking a daily "super-B" vitamin *really* helps   
   increase the "fullness" of dreams during a night.  I had at least 3 that were   
   basically dull, but they were likely made far more "memorable" ("evaporation   
   proof") — *likely* due to the intake of a super-B vitamin each morning.  I got   
   up around day break, let the dog out for a break, then went back to sleep on   
   the   
   couch, and the dreams before *and* after the break are still "with me,"   
   although   
   the ones from *after* the couch nap are actually the ones "fading" a bit:   
      
   Earlier dreams:   
   The dreamer was *following* a young boy (perhaps 5 years old?) down a hallway,   
   at a distance of about ~3 feet (or thereabouts) in a somewhat playful manner,   
   like, "I'm following you..." (and let the kid take that in whatever manner,   
   from   
   "Uh oh, I'm being watched by an adult, so I'd better behave" to "Uh oh, an   
   adult   
   is following me" to "catch me if you can," / horseplay, etc.) whereas the   
   dreamer was actually enjoying the moment of observing the kid in unassuming   
   anticipation of whatever the kid did, however the kid may respond to the   
   "game,"   
   the act of being followed.   
      
   Surprisingly, the kid did a 180 (turned around to face the adult) and (in   
   whatever manner a 5-year-old could manage) somewhat *rebuked* the dreamer   
   (presuming the dreamer was/is an adult!)   
      
   While I'm unable to remember *exactly* what the kid said, it was likely   
   something akin to:  "You really should mind your own business," or "Don't you   
   have anything better to do?"  (Something "pointed" that caught the dreamer   
   slightly by surprise!)  Dream ended, clarity 9-.   
      
   In an outdoor dream, the dreamer is in a type of field / pasture / meadow, an   
   area perhaps about that of a rectangular acre (rather than square) with 2 or   
   more adults (possibly 3 or 4?) coming along, as if they are on a mission, and   
   the dreamer is simply showing them where their target / destination is.   
      
   It seems that the adults were there to either "rescue the horses" or possibly   
   to   
   simply exercise them, like to go riding around the countryside, what have you.   
      
   One of the adults, a female (likely under 30?) seemed concerned regarding the   
   quality of the creek water to which the horses had access, as if the water was   
   possibly "too green" (too much algae?) for the better, overall health of the   
   horses.  While the dreamer provided a little bit of push-back (like, "Would you   
   rather they have no access to water whatsoever?") or possibly asking her what   
   she could mean by "too green" or possibly asking what might be the cause /   
   remedy for the overall water quality (or lack thereof)?  (I *suspect* the   
   female   
   was unable to come up with a reasonable solution/answer, capable instead of   
   only   
   criticizing, likely a liberal / lefty.)  Regardless, end of dream, clarity   
   9-ish.   
      
   Finally, there was this *fun* dream involving the dream out in a type of   
   agri-business-type lot.  To describe this, think of a (small, yet successful)   
   construction company with heavy equipment, such as back-loaders, front-end   
   loaders, bull-dozers, etc., and how these mechanical beasts might be kept in a   
   grassy field rather than on a paved parking lot.   
      
   Now imagine that *some* areas of the field are *mashed,* as if perhaps a bucket   
   (or digger) may have been "parked" on a soft area (that was firm when the   
   ground   
   was dry) with the bucket "lowered" so that the front feet of the machine was   
   *raised,* thus resting significant weight upon the digger/bucket, or possibly   
   one of those "steady pads" that lower down to help give the machine greater   
   stability, when some rain may have softened the ground, thus leaving a bit of a   
   *smush* in the soil.   
      
   The dreamer was watching a crew of perhaps 2 or 3 men (roughly in their 30s?)   
   working to "free" a few of the machines *from* the earth they had settled into,   
   such that the machines functioned very nearly like that of a 4-legged athelete   
   (with a very strong, long neck and head) crawling out of a pit, using its own   
   strength (and range of motions) to extricate itself from the sunken areas of   
   ground.  Clarity 9–9+.   
      
   About the only dream I can easily recall from being on the couch involved a   
   scene wherein the dreamer was in a (somewhat dark background) room, in a   
   discussion with some other guy (perhaps a "darker version" of the dreamer?) but   
   the dreamer was *distracted* by the presence of a very friendly dog, *about*   
   the   
   size of a Cocker Spaniel, but with straight, short hair, brownish/ginger   
   colored, and far less "frenetic" than a typical Spaniel:  the dog (likely a   
   female) was submissive, and in some manner, *smiling* up at the dreamer, as if   
   (she'd) been waiting for someone kind enough to pet her and give her some   
   luvin'   
   / ("cuddles," etc.)   
      
   Whatever the other guy had been going on about became utterly meaningless, as   
   the bond between the dreamer and the dog was clearly the main focus of the   
   dream, clarity 9-ish (the darkness of the start of the dream, and the loss of   
   attention regarding the other character, both detracted just a hair from a   
   solid   
   9 to 9+ clarity.)
