   From: Richard.Silk@Juno.Com   
      
   Almost lunch time, a bit late posting, but there were a few odd scenarios /   
   segments to mention, starting with the dreamer somehow involved with cleaning   
   the home of the house across the street (IRL) and actually conversing with the   
   (late) housewife (Juanita, who's been dead for *many* years) and the dreamer   
   having to deal with water on the floor / linoleum.  The dreamer was seriously   
   wanting to go fetch a wet-vac (a really nice one I've got IRL) to sop up the   
   water pronto, but was instead having to use an industry standard mop bucket,   
   the   
   yellow kind with a contraption for press-squeezing out a mop.   
      
   Only this bucket seemed unusual:  it was as if the squeezer mechanism was   
   somehow connected onto the bucket by means of an aluminum foil structure, which   
   of course, makes *no* sense whatsoever.  Yet even while at least one element of   
   the dream made zero sense, there was a very "real sense" of water on the floor,   
   and the need to clean it up, giving it an overall clarity of 8*/9-.   
      
   Some segment of a dream (that *may* have been related to the flooded floor   
   segment) involved an object *similar* in appearance to a shark carcass, yet it   
   was *on dry land,* as if in someone's backyard.   
      
   While the idea of a (possibly) rotting (shark?) carcass seemed a tad repulsive,   
   there was another critter visibly seen emerging from an area *similar* to a   
   gill   
   (the idea of it actually being a shark carcass was unclear.  It could've been a   
   machine of some sort for all I know.)  The critter was very clearly seen,   
   however, and appeared to be a black, cylindrical, velvety / fuzzy shape with a   
   flat head (like the chopped end of a sealed 1½"–2" diameter pipe) and what   
   *appeared* to be two small, forward-viewing eyes.  They were dark themselves,   
   yet had a glint of light in some manner, *possibly* a very thin band of white   
   around them, but they looked at the dreamer then looked away to the critter's   
   right, the dreamer's left, quickly.)   
      
   The dreamer experienced something like an urge to reach out and stroke it (as   
   one would a dog or cat) but seeing as how it emerged from something akin to a   
   shark carcass, the dreamer refrained from reaching out to it.  The overall   
   length of what was seen of the critter was around 12" or so, although the   
   segment ended before its full length was determined.  Gonna just go with   
   clarity   
   7 (symbolic) on this one.
