   From: Richard.Silk@Juno.Com   
      
   Had an interesting flying dream, interesting in that it was at *low level*, as   
   if *barely* high enough to get over people standing on the ground.  It actually   
   started as if the dreamer lifted up, then made a swooping direction that flowed   
   from a position such as near a rooftop to about 4'-6' or so above ground level.   
   The dreamer was approaching a traffic cop (very much like a school crossing   
   guard) and used a hand-over-hand motion (similar to the rolling motions of a   
   kids song) to "gain altitude" in order to fly over the top of the crossing   
   guard.  As it was a flying dream / possible astral body experience, the clarity   
   runs from anywhere between 7 (symbolic) to 11 (spiritual) although for the most   
   part, it simply seemed like a bright, sunny day to go flying :-)   
      
   I'd like to "back up" to a dream I had yesterday (somewhere before fully waking   
   Monday morning) wherein the dreamer was walking past a table *full* of loose   
   cash, like someone had just dumped large amounts of money on the table, not   
   counted and wrapped, but more like just dropped around, nearly like potato   
   peels, only fluffier, rather than flatter, more like cotton candy, if you will.   
      
   The dreamer had some sort of mental thought to the effect of either "That's not   
   my money / That's just temptation / or That's just a distraction at the moment   
   /   
   That's beside the point," with the general effect of seeing yet disregarding   
   all   
   that cash.   
      
   The next thing the dreamer is doing is paying someone (or something) cash from   
   the cash in hand, with a price of $28.   
      
   What seemed interesting about the payment is that as the dreamer was paying, a   
   $20 along with a $5 and 3 singles, it appeared as if $15 simply reappeared in   
   the dreamer's hand.  Mind you, this was *not* like having had the extra cash   
   already in hand and paying out the $28.  No, this was like the dreamer had $28   
   *in hand* ready to pay, and there was suddenly $15 seen in hand.  I mention   
   this, because of the next dream from this morning, where:   
      
   In another dream, the dreamer is in a car, as if driving (left hand, American)   
   and there was someone (possibly a female) in the car (passenger seat, front   
   right) as well.  The dreamer/driver has somewhere *over* $1,000 cash in the   
   left   
   hand (possibly as much as $1,300.oo, although there seemed to be no real   
   opportunity at that moment to actually count it, as the dreamer *was* actively   
   driving.)   
      
   The dreamer is saying to the passenger something along the lines of "We need to   
   put this away, NOW, before someone tries to rob us..." (or words very close to   
   those, to that basic effect.)   
      
   The dreamer is attempting to put the money away in a front left jeans pocket,   
   when a guy of about 30-ish years old, perhaps between 5'6" and 6' tall, with a   
   thick head full of wavy/curly, medium length, yellowish hair appears just   
   outside the driver's left window, and the car has come to a stop, or near stop.   
      
   The guy has the feeling of being something between a cop and a gangster, what   
   could be considered an "enforcer" type of function.  He's asking the dreamer   
   about what the dreamer's purpose is, like, "What are you here for?" and the   
   dreamer says something to the effect of "We're" (or "I'm") headed to (some   
   nearby store) to buy (something inexpensive, like under $30, ± some change.)   
   The direct intention was to suggest that the dreamer had under $50 in cash to   
   spend, rather than speaking of the *WAD* of cash that had just been stuffed   
   into   
   the front left pocket.   
      
   There's a type of release of focus, as it were, as the enforcer type backs   
   slightly away from the window, still keeping watch on the dreamer/driver, who   
   looks forward and drives on, end of dream, clarity 9.   
      
   Speaking of Monday morning's dreams, there was one wherein the dreamer was *as   
   if* swimming underwater, nearly a straight, downward dive (perhaps at an 85°   
   angle or so) to a male person on the smooth bottom of the seafloor (or lake   
   bed,   
   although the water was practically, perfectly clear) who appeared as if he had   
   a   
   foot trapped by a rock or something.  The dreamer took his hand and pulled   
   upward, as if to pry the person off the seafloor and up to the surface.  The   
   dream ended and I awoke at that point, clarity 9+, except for the sense of   
   being   
   underwater in the dream was not as 10-like as if one were to actually feel   
   oneself swimming underwater IRL.   
      
   One of, if not the, dream before waking today (Tuesday morning) was certainly   
   of   
   a "muddy"-ish nature:  The position / comfort of the dreamer was *very much   
   like* that of myself, in bed (IRL) only in the dream, it was like on a warm,   
   comfortable, bench-like area of firm land, although slippery in nature, as if   
   the ground were covered with a thin layer of mud, such that too much tossing or   
   turning in any direction could lead the dreamer to slip off the firm area upon   
   which the dreamer was lying during the action of what unfolded in the dream,   
   which was... odd... to say the least.   
      
   There were a number of people walking in a direction that was (from the   
   dreamer's perspective) north to south-ish.  The dreamer was viewing the   
   directional line of travel from the left of the people in the line, relatively   
   speaking, from the east, looking west.   
      
   But what was visibly peculiar is that they were walking not as if upon dry   
   ground, but as if slogging through waist-deep mud, yet at a relatively slow but   
   steady pace, faster than one would slog if one were trying to slog through a   
   mud   
   pit IRL.  I can only liken the analogy to that of people trying to slog their   
   way through governmental bureaucracy.   
      
   The dreamer spotted a person's leg (that was relatively clear of the mud) that   
   had thumb-tack sized critters crawling up it, like over-sized ticks, only they   
   were flat, rather than bloated, as if they were unfed (starving?) giant ticks.   
   (Whether they were insects or arachnids was unclear, although I doubt if it   
   makes too much difference at the narrative level.)   
      
   The dreamer (almost *instinctively!*) began scraping them off the leg closest   
   to   
   the dreamer's perspective.  After doing so, the dreamer observed that the leg   
   belonged to a rather oversized (*hefty, chunky*) short woman with unwashed,   
   yellowish hair of medium length (perhaps down to her shoulders, but being   
   unwashed, the overall effect was reasonably unattractive.)   
      
   The dreamer was possibly indicating something to the effect of what had just   
   occurred, possibly with a type of warning to the female that she needed to be   
   careful, or to get a move on, to prevent any more critters getting on her leg,   
   when the dreamer spotted yet another half-dozen or more of them, again crawling   
   up her leg.
