      From: Richard.Silk@Juno.Com              Dreamer was driving a vehicle, following a female driver in her own vehicle, at       a moderately / seemingly high rate of speed, yet not considered "dangerously"       high in the moment, however, the contour of the road changed without notice,       and       this change is what is of most interest:              *Typically,* roads (like the interstate) run almost as flat as can be, with the       exception of the occasional mountain pass that either goes up at an angle or       down at an angle that requires "truckers' lanes" (going up) and emergency exit       brake ramps (going down) that ramp upwards into sand, sufficiently long enough       to help a truck that's lost its air brakes come to a safe stop.              Well, the road being traveled in this dream was like something designed for a       roller coaster: Imagine a backwards "S" shape, similar to a "Z" shape, but       curved like an "S". To "keep it straight in my head" as I type, I'll use the       "Z" shape for directional reference:              The female's car was up ahead, yet on the *lower* (ground) section of the road       (like at the base of the "Z" headed on to the right / forward.)              The dreamer's car was still up on the higher section of the road (akin to the       top of the S-like Z shape) and *if* the dreamer had been driving at perhaps a       *much* slower speed, the vehicle *may* have clung to the surface as it rolled       downwards toward the lower section, but in the dream, the vehicle simply went       airborne (off the top of the S-shaped Z) and went "flying / falling" downward       to       the lower section of the road.              The car *landed* and continued forward, as if there'd been no damage from the       drop, but the dream ended at the point where the vehicle continued moving       forwards. The dreamer had *some* sort of thought along the lines of "Let's not       do *that* again!" or "I'm still here / intact" or some *general* feeling of       astonishment at remaining alive and "on the road," still intent on following       the       female car, yet the questions regarding "WHAT just HAPPENED?" / general       amazement / questions of what/how the event related to "real life" / "reality"       basically *ended* the dream right there. Clarity 7 (for symbolic) although 7+ /       8- would apply otherwise. The sensation of flying / dropping / falling while       going forwards was pretty cool :-) Also, I have some *vague* memory of having       had a similar dream in the past, but it's like a phantom dream / memory.        (Maybe       I've posted it and forgotten??)              There were a number of other dreams, one oriented on prepared food (like at a       restaurant or cafeteria or such) along with some other dream regarding a       condition of notoriety (possibly fame at some level of specialization) but       they've all jumbled so much along with evaporation that trying to put them into       words is like trying to focus on a jumbled pile of jigsaw puzzle pieces.              There was *one* dream that involved characters that, while seemingly familiar       with people in my real-life past, appeared "differently" from how I remember       them actually appearing, IRL.              For example: IRL, I had a friend in high school, initials DJR, who had a       father, Dr. JBR, and the Dr.'s wife (DJR's mother) KTR, who'd moved to       Tennessee       from Wisconsin in the summer leading into DJR's junior year in high school.        Now       IRL, DJR's dad, Dr. R, was short, always appeared "soft," but that's likely       because I never heard him raise his voice, and also because he was under 6'       (perhaps 5'6"?) (I was over 6', even as a freshman) but was *likely* a *tough*       little buggar underneath the glasses and professorial demeanor. (The dad, Dr.       R., passed IRL suddenly on Thursday, July 8, 2016. KTR passed away IRL on July       4, 2019.) Now whether the dream prompted the online search I just executed in       order to find those dates, or the search prompted the dream, all I can say is,       I       had the dream this morning (sometime prior to 9 A.M.) began writing this up       (somewhere around 12:30 P.M.) and *then* finished researching (around 1 P.M.)              As to the dream itself, Dr. R. was in the image of a younger, thinner, taller       fellow, and KTR was *almost* not visible at all! But the dreamer was trying to       ask about the location of their son (my high school acquaintance, DJR) yet       trying to avoid words regarding his having been locked up (IRL) for some       crime(s) involving a laptop. Someone in the dream mentioned his sentence as       being "40 years" which is all I can really remember in the way of an exact       quote. (I may have a bit more online searching to do, but he'll have to wait       behind a few other projects currently underway.) Clarity 8-, overall.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
