   Been having a few interesting dreams lately, but have been lax in posting about   
   them.   
   This one is from the evening/morning of 10/29, Tuesday:   
   Had a dream I was in a room with a female looking very much like my elder   
   sister, Sherry (looking much younger however, like around 30-ish) near the   
   farther right corner, then my (late) mother, looking quite well, very much   
   alive, in the farther left corner, looking about in her 40s or 50s.   
      
   Whatever may have been communicated between Sherry was irrelevant, as the   
   dreamer was very happy to see "Mom," and was a bit perplexed for a moment, as   
   the knowledge that she'd passed (this past March) started to enter the   
   dreamer's   
   thought processes, and trying to rationalize Mom alive and looking well with   
   the   
   knowledge that she'd passed brought the dream to an end.  Clarity started at   
   around 8-, went to 9+/10-, then ended at 8-ish.   
      
   Well, later (yesterday evening) I was messaged by a female on the internet with   
   blonde hair and a strong European (possibly Germanic) look (she sent me her   
   picture online) and I found myself having to weigh the possibility of a future   
   with her (she seemed *very* keen on establishing a relationship, open to   
   marriage, was only 30-ish years old, unphased by my being in my early 60s) with   
   the path that I'm on in regards to marrying Gina.  In my mind, there's no   
   question, my future is with Gina, but being placed in a situation that put   
   *that* future in question was *likely* what prompted the dream regarding the   
   female who looked a bit like Sherry followed by an encounter with my (late, yet   
   living) mother.  (Clarity 9++!)   
      
   The reason for mentioning this dream from Monday night / Tuesday morning is   
   because *last* night / this morning, I had a few dreams that were likely a   
   result of the conversation(s) I've had with (more than a few) online women, all   
   who seem interested in either 1) starting a relationship or 2) just phishing   
   money.   
      
   So *last night's / this morning's* dream involved the dreamer spending some   
   time   
   in the main ("big") bathroom of my home, where the dreamer was supposedly there   
   for the purpose of cleaning it (like the tub/shower walls, even though it's   
   fairly spotless in real life.)   
      
   After what seemed like a minute or so (in dream time, which is typically   
   representative of a longer time IRL) someone out in the hallway wanted to come   
   in and see what was going on.   
      
   Turns out, it was my (late) dad, looking as he did perhaps in his 40s, and   
   there   
   was some kind of "difference of opinion" going on between Dad and the dreamer.   
   It was like both sides were talking at the same time, and the father figure   
   seemed perturbed, whereas the dreamer seemed defensive, yet the dreamer avoided   
   escalating it, being more in favor of the two understanding whatever was   
   perturbing the father figure.   
      
   What I recall (somewhat) was the father having some kind of question regarding   
   text-based communication in relation to oral communication.  The dreamer said   
   (approximately) "You understand how tape recorders record sound, right?"   
      
   The Father figure agreed.   
      
   The Son (the dreamer) continued: "Texting is just like that:  it records what   
   is   
   typed, then plays it back to a reader rather than a listener."  (That is a   
   *clarification* of whatever was said in the dream, which is slightly evaporated   
   past the point of a verbatim recollection.)   
      
   The Father figure appeared to take that information then continued working   
   (like   
   paperwork, or charting ideas on paper) on something on the counter/shelf of the   
   basin in front of the main bathroom mirror, and the dreamer let him continue   
   his   
   work and left the room, thus leaving the dream.  Clarity 9++.   
      
   The combination of the mother dream followed by the father dream gives me the   
   impression that I may have caused the both of them to "turn in their graves" so   
   to speak, or at least caused a ripple in my own timeline that they may be   
   having   
   to adjust for in some manner in the "quantum universe" or the "Universal Mind   
   of   
   Heaven," as it were.   
      
   Then there was this other, *odd* dream, involving an antique Waltham pocket   
   watch and a handful of people, reminiscent of those I went to high school with,   
   and this dream gets *curious* as it goes along:   
      
   First, the dreamer is as if in preparation for a procedure, a bit like being in   
   a pre-op setting in a hospital.  The dreamer is (comfortably) lying upon a   
   cot-like table, awaiting something, when there's a bit of commotion in the   
   room,   
   and the pocket watch is viewed as smashed upon the floor (although at a level   
   above the floor, as if it had been on a shelf at or near knee-to-waist-level,   
   but there was no distinction between the floor and the level at which the   
   pocket   
   watch was resting.   
      
   The dreamer apparently "broke protocol" by getting up from the resting surface   
   and going to examine the watch.  Someone was saying "It's just a watch" but the   
   dreamer was countering with, "I *just bought it*" (as a present to someone or   
   such) "and it wasn't cheap" (like around $400) then noticed and said, "It's   
   still ticking!" (and the tick-tick-tick of the mainspring was indeed audible.)   
      
   The dreamer went back to lay down on the table/cot, where the procedure began   
   again.  There was some procedural step whereby a nurse-like attendant was   
   applying a layer of skin cream to the surface of the dreamer, specifically   
   about   
   the legs, although there was the sense that it was to be a total covering, and   
   the dreamer was to lie still until the procedure was finished.   
      
   Well, during this "still-time," the dreamer was wanting to view the others   
   undergoing the same process, half-expecting to see them naked (wanting to view   
   some of the girls from his past in high school) but noting he himself was in   
   robin-egg blue boxers, and the front fly was "less than shut" (to put it   
   politely) yet *something else* caused a disturbance, and the dreamer *again*   
   was   
   prompted to get up off the cot in order to assist with someone or something   
   somewhere in the room.   
      
   I'm of the *impression* (yet it remains unclear) that the dreamer *may* have   
   returned to the cot (now for the 3rd time) to restart the procedure, although   
   whether that actually occurred before the end of the dream (or not) is unclear.   
   Clarity likely 7 (symbolic) though 8+ for the most part.
