   Dreams have been around clarity 6 to 8 (likely excluding 7, symbolic) lately,   
   without clearly defined plots, causes, or consequences.  For example, I had a   
   dream regarding Gina earlier this week and it was so unclear as to the point   
   that there was no immediate motivation to blog (journal) it here online.  Even   
   now, all I can remember is that she and I were discussing things which, I   
   suppose, in itself is a *good* thing.   
      
   This morning (I moved from the couch to the bed some time after midnight) there   
   was a dream that seemed to have a thread of continuity to it:   
      
   The dreamer was driving a vehicle along a road, and there was a vehicle ahead   
   that seemed to be either lost, in trouble, or merely blocking the road just   
   before an intersection.  There was some discussion where advice was given, and   
   the dreamer continued by driving around the stalled vehicle in some manner.   
   Coulda gone right along another path, coulda simply circled around and   
   continued   
   forwards.  This may or may not be related to what follows, but to continue....   
      
   The dreamer was in a small area, *similar* in general development to a place   
   like "Bartertown" in "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome" (what some folk might call   
   "a   
   wide spot in the road.")   
      
   Perhaps a hundred yards (±) away from "town center" (if you could call it that)   
   there was a type of (small) circular body of water, like an old-fashioned rock   
   quarry filled with water, and the small community was somehow oriented around   
   that water hole.  (Perhaps it functioned as a natural cistern?)   
      
   The dreamer was with someone else (similar to a mayor of the town, or a town   
   leader of some sort) and there was the sense of several other people as well,   
   anywhere from a few to a few dozen.   
      
   As the narrative of the dream focused in on the water hole, the water level   
   began to drop rapidly, as in a matter of two or more building stories (20'?   
   40'?) revealing a round, submarine-like hatch with a wheel in the center.   
      
   What was inside that hatch remains unknown, as that dream segment ended about   
   then.   
      
   Picking up at a building very similar to the Church I grew up in, Grace   
   Lutheran   
   in Murfreesboro, the building / people had a community-type feel, as if   
   everybody knew everybody in some way.   
      
   There was an element where the dreamer left a pair of medium-brown leather,   
   cowboy-style (narrow square-toe Texas Boot brand) boots in an area similar to a   
   small, outdoor patio entrance to the building.  At some point, the dreamer   
   remembers the need to go back to retrieve the boots.   
      
   At some point, the dreamer has the notion (just for fun?) to get into the top   
   area of a tall silo, similar to a grain silo, but this feels more like a milk   
   silo at a dairy plant.  Fortunately, the silo is empty, but the walls (being   
   metal, likely stainless steel) seem unsuited for climbing down, yet the dreamer   
   somehow manages to cling in some manner to the inner (single, circular) wall,   
   and upon reaching ground level, exits the silo.   
      
   Even though exiting the silo is something that seems to occur "off camera" (as   
   it were) this particular exit is recalled in a (final) dream segment where the   
   dreamer is having a discussion with someone regarding getting down from a high   
   place, and the dreamer basically has the attitude of [it's no big deal] as the   
   feat of getting down from inside a silo (just recently, in the overall dream   
   narrative) was tougher in comparison.   
      
   All I can think of to help "interpret" these dreams / this dream narrative is   
   that they all have elements *similar to* elements within my life, such as a   
   water hole, similar to an old rock quarry (there's one within a mile (±) of my   
   home, the hole being about 50 yards (±) from the geographic center of the State   
   of Tennessee.)   
      
   The submarine-like hatch with a round wheel (for opening/closing) is similar to   
   an element from the NCIS season finale I watched (on DVR) last night.  It also   
   reminds me that I've *often* wondered what lies beneath the water of that   
   abandoned quarry (other than filled-in mud- what's beneath the mud?)   
      
   The Church and the boots are also elements from my youth.   
      
   The milk silo reminds me of my 2nd ex-wife, as she worked at Heritage Farms   
   Dairy (that processes milk products for Kroger and possibly surrounding   
   outlets)   
   although I worked there myself (as a temp, "dumping milk") years before she   
   ever   
   showed up there (facebook.com/pages/Heritage%20Farms%20Dairy/139346086113702)   
      
   I can only suspect that somehow, the idea of scaling down the outside of a   
   building (at the end) is somehow related to having "left the building," in the   
   sense that those relationships are likely (probably) over.
