   Borders:   
   Occasionally (more like "Often") I'll arise from bed somewhere around dawn (±   
   30   
   minutes to an hour) and will move to the larger couch in order to {meditate,   
   plan my day, pray} which most often results in a simple dream of some type.   
      
   This morning, the dream evolved into something with much deeper (as well as   
   higher) meaning: "I" (the dreamer) dreamt of elements of the (American) Civil   
   War (google.com/search?q=American+Civil+War) which occurred back in 1861-1865,   
   but it started out as something in a contemporary setting, involving   
   geographical "water sheds" and topographical elements, such as how pioneers   
   would define borders of territory (personal, county, regional) which would,   
   naturally, involve bodies of water (springs, creeks, rivers, lakes) as well as   
   hills, ridges, mountains, shorelines, which is how the view (the dream   
   perspective) moved quickly from a local setting (a rural yard, Rutherford   
   County, the Southeast) to where Sherman marched through Georgia (during the   
   Civil War) presumably all the way to the "Gulf of Mexico" (now the "Gulf of   
   America.")   
      
   The overall clarity of that dream clip (segment) resonates with Genesis 1:26,28   
   regarding "dominion" over the earth.   
      
   Nimrod:   
   "The dreamer" was being given a type of introductory tour of a facility similar   
   to a Dell customer service call center (which differs significantly from a Dell   
   Computers production plant.) There was an earlier moment when the dreamer left   
   something akin to a notepad/printed materials behind, and was thus going from   
   area to area empty-handed.   
      
   Eventually, the dreamer sat down at a deskspace/cubicle that had *something*   
   (like a guide or cheat-sheet) tacked to the wall, while there was also a phone   
   set and monitor station set up for recording case files (every call you make to   
   a *decent* call center generates a case file, wherein the service   
   representative   
   documents (takes notes on) the call.)   
      
   The dreamer had been guided to that station by a female, presumably at   
   supervisory or H.R. level, when the dreamer was asked a question, presumably a   
   dry run on how the dreamer would answer such a call if it were to come into the   
   queue (where calls sit awaiting a representative to answer.)   
      
   The dreamer gave a type of answer that caused the female to give a blank look,   
   such as [HOW COULD YOU give such an answer!] at which point the dreamer   
   observed, *possibly* aloud, [That could be an H.R. issue if taken the wrong   
   way/out of context.]  (For whatever reason, that actual question/answer   
   interchange has faded from waking memory, even though at the time, the dreamer   
   felt it was a valid (perhaps "clever") answer.)   
      
   Somehow, this interchange caused the female supervisor to invoke a call to a   
   higher authority of some kind, whereupon the setting became more like a company   
   meeting (where everyone of the grunts (reps) are present in order to absorb   
   some   
   form of corporate/company training, similar to a high school pep rally.)   
      
   The dreamer sensed the lack of writing materials to take notes, so had to rely   
   upon mentally paying attention instead.   
      
   In this group-like environment, there was a guy who seemed to be the M.C.   
   (host)   
   of the meeting.  He gave a bit of motivational talk, then asked a question   
   *very   
   similar* to: "Are we infinite?"   
      
   The dreamer wasn't *acutely* focused on the speaker, but became more involved   
   when two things happened, presumably in this order:   
      
   Scene A:  The speaker confronted the dreamer over the alleged H.R. issue,   
   presumably with the purpose of determining if the dreamer should be retained as   
   a valuable asset, or fired immediately as a "poor fit." The speaker (the   
   "higher   
   authority") was basically Caucasian and had unfocused (fuzzy?) red hair   
   (possibly curly) of perhaps 4"-6" in length.   
      
   There was something of an alpha male type challenge where some things were said   
   on both sides {he said|he said} wherein he *definitely* made some type of   
   *verbal* threat / menacing gesture in the manner of [bow down or else] which   
   resulted in a *chest-bumping* maneuver wherein the dreamer ("I") bumped back   
   more assertively, figuratively bouncing him away from the dreamer's ("my")   
   immediate presence.   
      
   Scene B:  The red-haired speaker's voice was then heard in the manner one hears   
   someone using a microphone with a P.A. (public address / speaker) system in an   
   auditorium.  He was speaking along the lines of questioning the employees to   
   think critically, presumably to motivate them toward higher performance levels.   
      
   At some point the speaker became oriented nearer to the dreamer, *similar* in   
   perspective to a person (the dreamer) at a football game, down in front of the   
   first row of spectator bleachers, with the speaker standing roughly near the 50   
   yard line, where someone would be if they were on the oval track surrounding   
   the   
   football playing field yet still before the bleachers.   
      
   Again, the speaker brought up the question of "Are we infinite?"   
      
   At this point, the dreamer addressed the speaker directly:  "Yes- in that Now   
   is   
   the consequence of all past, and the cause of all future," (the speaker gave a   
   questioning/quizzical look, to which the dreamer continued) "...as NOW is   
   *always* NOW.  *I AM* the consequence of all past and the cause of all future.   
   Thus 'we are' as well, as we are all 'here now,' therefore 'we are infinite'"   
   (with the word "we" referring to everyone listening.)   
      
   The speaker went away off to the dreamer's right (the speaker's left) with the   
   feeling of going off to retrieve something.  The dreamer had a vague thought   
   that perhaps it was to fetch a prize of some sort, similar to a "spirit stick"   
   at a high school pep rally, only for whatever reason the dreamer heard the word   
   "baby" somewhere in that vague thought.   
      
   The speaker returned, holding something shaped like a *very* large ham, wrapped   
   in something akin to a yellow rain coat material (what some might call a   
   "slicker") and unwrapped it, presenting the contents to the dreamer (like a   
   "prize.")   
      
   What the dreamer received was something with the appearance of a young child,   
   similar to a *small* boy, perhaps around the age of 8 through 11, but with   
   various "issues" regarding the "boy's" appearance:   
      
   The speaker described the "prize" as a meat package that had been kept in the   
   refrigerator for some time, during which the speaker had been nibbling some of   
   it on occasion.  The speaker called it "Nimrod"   
   (see: google.com/search?q=Nimrod   
   with respect to Noah's great-grandson, as well as "hunter" as well as "fool,"
