As there's been a *significant* amount of data in and data out this morning, I'll see what I can still recall:

There was a dream involving what seemed like a group of guys (perhaps mixed with some gals?) involving at least one car, maybe two or more, such as may be typical of high school / college aged guys just "hangin' out" on a Friday night or weekend. This dream was somewhat unclear (-to-dim) at the time of the dream, like around clarity 6, and along with evaporation, may as well have been left off the list today, except that I wanted to "warm up" my recollection phase of last night's / this morning's dreams, most of which I'm fairly certain happened between just before dawn and 9 AM. Something about at least one car involved a key fob with remote lock/unlock capability..

There was also a kind of work-place dream, as if in a product research & development lab, wherein there was this round, ceramic-like object that took a load of dust/trash as it hovered across the floor into a small opening / hole-in-the-wall, maybe 1' x 1' max (like where a cartoon mouse hole would be) wherein a blast furnace incinerated the trash which was in an open bin atop the ceramic disc. There was some sense of bright orange-red heat about the cavity inside the opening. The disc then traveled out of the furnace (empty) and went to a type of trimming station, where it spun around as if to trim off some excess on its sides, not unlike how a person might clip a fingernail, except this was like the blade at the outside of the radius of a weed whacker / string trimmer: the disc spun, the stationary blade trimmed the excess, making the disc relatively perfectly circular again, then the disc glided across the floor, around a corner, to return to its "station.."

If this sounds a LOT like a Roomba floor-vac robot, that's probably because one was VERY likely running (IRL) during the time frame in which the dream occurred. Clarity 8+/9-.

Then there was the job-dream, wherein the dreamer apparently had a type of job oriented much like a customer or possibly a tech support agent, but also possibly as some time of analyst / developer position. Regardless, there was the sense (that I almost *always* get) that the dreamer was [wasting my time] in that vocation.

*** Something I've noted *** regarding dream scenes: IF there's an area that remains "static," yet another area that is "fluid," the fluid section often appears "empty." For example, some time ago, there was a dream of being in a facility much like a Wal*Mart in size, with a wide open, empty space and 4 walls. It occurred to me as I typed up the dream that the reason the central area seemed empty was possibly because the inventory that sits within that static space (the building itself is stationary) is itself *exceptionally* fluid: inventory in, inventory out (as sales) so everywhere there had been clothing (IRL) for instance, that area of the store was virtually empty in the dream.

In this dream, since the data was processed in a "fluid" in/out basis, the terminal / work station is static, but the screen / sense of work performed is "blank" / empty as an element within the dream. As if one had been sitting in front of an empty terminal doing nothing.

This led to an ensuing discussion with a female supervisor-type who'd been sitting at a desk a few feet behind the dreamer— she had a medium build with medium-colored hair of a medium length. In fact, she appeared almost as a conglomerate / compilation of Gina, Beth, and Joyce. I recall one question asked of the dreamer that was very clear: "Do you believe in God?"

The dreamer answered, "Yes— absolutely!" and that "God is Love."

The next scene was a bit like watching a time-elapsed video played back in two or three frames: a female (who looked much like Joyce) became pregnant, and her fully pregnant, bare skinned belly was practically in close-up, then the next frame, all that was gone. There was SOME muted / muddled discussion regarding "fear," as if there might have been something the dreamer may have been afraid of, but I strongly suspect that may be related to a televised sermon the other day regarding "the fear AND Love God" which seems a bit like taking the tails of the coin along with the heads. Overall clarity, 9 to 9+.

(Note: once one gets accustomed to the "heads" side of the coin, the "tails" is basically forgotten.)

Just one dream that "came back to me" yesterday afternoon:

The dreamer was at the front door (much like me standing in the front door of where I live presently) and there's a small, dark delivery van out front (almost the size of one of those Amazon vans, yet smaller) and a guy (dressed in black) comes to the door carrying my suit (identical to the one I wear in real life) in one of those clear-plastic garment bags, as if he were delivering my suit from the cleaners. (WOW! cleaner delivery!! I'm presently unaware of any such service in this area at this time.) While there was the *idea* of taking the bag (much as one would accept a pizza delivery) the visual of the scene kinda "jumped" (changed) to that of a female (much like Gina in appearance, but with an "official" air of authority) who just comes right in through the front door, and I hear some words from her regarding articles within the house, as if looking for something.

While the suit from the cleaners section is relevant to the fact that I need to take my suit TO the cleaners FOR cleaning (it smells almost like gym clothes!) I suspect the female looking for stuff may pertain to a phone call I'll be getting any minute now, today, 8/8/2022. Clarity 8-9-ish.

Dreamer had been in a car ride, front passenger (right side) with a feel of 4 (possibly 3–5) people in the car, 2 in front, with (evaporated / unremembered) random conversation(s.) NOTE: I try to be specific as to front left or right / driver or passenger, as vehicles differ, largely in Europe, with what is referred to as “right hand drive” whereas the USA and other places have “left hand drive.” However, now as I write this up, I do recall that the subject matter of the discussion had involved my eldest sister’s husband, my brother-in-law, whom I’ll refer to as “S1” (as my other surviving (younger) B-i-L has the same first name, so he’s logically “S2..”)

As the car came to a stop and the dreamer exited the car, S1 emerges from the right rear door, giving the dreamer the sense of relief, that the conversation had been positive. :-) S1 had a beaming smile on his face, *as if* to say, “Surprise! I was listening the whole time” :-) Clarity 9-.

In what may be a same dream at a later moment, or possibly a different dream altogether, the dreamer approaches a building (brick, like reddish-brown house brick) with no apparent entrance, although there’s an area along the front that looks like it *may* be an entrance, as it has some white, concrete section similar to a doorway. A possibly French (?) speaking woman (30-ish? Early 40s?) keeps repeating a phrase, specifically a word, as if to possibly instruct the dreamer as to the entrance. Lady produces a (gray) device (has a shape like a vacuum with hose, except the device has a tubular pipe rather than a hose, and a head similar to a hammerhead shark) that practically *shifts instantly* from position A to position B, as if someone had made a video of someone metal detecting, and had spliced the tape between the start of a sweep and the end of a sweep. As that “splice” caught the dreamer’s attention, the motion of the device resumed normal motion.

Inside the (or "a") building, there’s something like a walk-thru of a food line, similar to a pot luck at a church. (NOTE: I have a *slight* hunch that the building may represent a “Kingdom Hall” of a Jehovah’s Witness congregation— closed to outsiders / non-members. IRL, I’ve been having theological discussions with a JW member, which would explain how the dreamer got a “peek” inside, but fails to explain the French-like or foreign language, unless JWs are big on “speaking in tongues.”) Clarity 8+-ish.

In another dream, the dreamer has been in a top-down (or removed) convertible with my older brother Bob. Taking this from my notes from early this morning, it’s unclear who was in the front right (passenger) seat, but it *appears* (as well as “feels”) like the dreamer was the passenger.

There’s also a “bad car” right behind, and the dreamer sees a gun, as if in a lap or adjacent seat (much like an 1840s Colt revolver, but that’s *purely* a guess, as this gun appears in slightly better condition than a typical gun from that time period.) While the dreamer senses an opportunity to “shoot” the “bad car,” the dreamer shoots NOT (lets that moment pass without shooting.) End of dream, clarity 8+ to 9.

So I got up early today, did some backyard mowing (!) along with breakfast, coffee, etc., yet felt the need to take a couch nap. At the end of that nap there was a rather brief dream, of somebody at the front door, whom the dreamer assumes to be a specific person. However, when the dreamer opens the (solid) door (without using the peephole) the person outside appears to be someone else entirely, a guy with a Caucasian-like appearance but with black, tightly curly hair, similar to what some might consider a short ‘fro. Others might consider it Semitic (Hebrew/Arab) in nature.

The point being, he just walked right in (past the dreamer) and the dream ended, even though the dreamer was turning to inquire as to any details from the visitor.

This makes the second dream (in almost the same # of days) that someone has come right in through the front door. And while the previous event was of an expected nature IRL, this one has yet to “ring any bells” as to what it may have been about. Clarity 9.
