   From: Richard.Silk@Juno.Com   
      
   The dreamer becomes aware in a room similar to a large office space, similar in   
   size to a large classroom or lab, meaning open architecture, no "cubicles" but   
   there does appear to be at least two individual work spaces, such as computer   
   systems set up on a table along a right wall and one more in the center-left of   
   the room.   
      
   The dreamer is somehow monitoring something at one terminal/station, on what in   
   the industry is known as a "GUI" (Graphical User Interface, what a luddite   
   might   
   call an "interactive screen")— there's something like a video running full   
   screen, yet at the bottom, there's like a text-crawl, like what you see on TV   
   news reports where the station is "crawling" (scrolling) information across the   
   bottom line.   
      
   The dreamer seems to be interacting with the terminal when interrupted to go to   
   the work station / terminal on the left, which appears to be showing a "Steven   
   Colbert" cartoon of some sort.   
      
   The dreamer has the impression someone needs assistance at that ("leftist")   
   terminal, and the dreamer simply tries a "3-finger salute"— what older PC users   
   may recognize as the "Control-Alt-Delete" sequence to either A) interrupt a   
   process / affect a log-in screen, or B) (on even older systems) reboot the   
   computer. As this is a GUI-type screen, it definitely "shifts" the viewer mode   
   from GUI to text-based, *as if* it triggered a restart but in "safe mode" where   
   the screen simply shows *text-based input and prompts* rather than a full   
   GUI-type screen.   
      
   The dreamer (or *perhaps* the "narrative mind") is explaining how at this   
   level,   
   the computer user can expertly choose options / consequences / directionality   
   as   
   to what comes next in the computer-environment.   
      
   The dream ends there, around clarity 9, even though there was no *specific*   
   reading of anything that was ever displayed on-screen.   
      
   The other dream *was very well likely* the consequence of having the Moody   
   (Christian) Broadcast Network playing in my "stupid phone" with an FM radio app   
   (practically on par with having a calculator) (that pulls in FM (as well as AM)   
   radio stations, using old-fashioned (wired) ear plugs as an antenna) playing on   
   my window sill beside my bed. This *occasionally* leads to "rad   
   o/podcast-based   
   dreams," and I'm *fairly certain* this was one of them:   
      
   The dreamer was involved with some type of business location, and while there   
   was *some* dialogue between the dreamer and the "station manager" (or the   
   person   
   who was talking on the radio IRL at that time) most everything else about that   
   dream has already evaporated (as I got up around 5 AM-ish, and it's already   
   just   
   past noon as I type this.) Clarity 9- (at the time of dreaming, possibly even   
   9+ due to the interactivity, but more like 9-/8+.)
