Today is (or rather, was, as late as it is) my middle sister's 67th birthday. Nothing there, just thought I'd mention it for some reason.

Meanwhile, last night's dreams have *mostly* evaporated, although some elements still remain:

Namely: the dreamer was viewing something of an outdoor setting *akin* to a barn or barn-style home, with a mound of hay (or possibly straw) forming something akin to a mound, as if a chest-high roll (or flattened stack) of hay were being used as some kind of either a form of landscaping for a building (which was not exactly visible) or perhaps *as* a home for field-critters. There were either bunnies and/or plump birds nesting within the straw / hay / grass-like substance. It was the critters that caught the dreamer's attention, as there was a kind of "awww..." type feeling at seeing something burrowing into the grass-home for comfort, likely protection. Clarity 8-, closer to 6+.

In another dream, the dreamer made something of a bounce, similar to a leap upwards, and the sensation of lucidity -began- to open up as if the dreamer became aware of the sensation of flying, and there was some quick type of "mental gymnastics" over the idea of needing something to aid in flying, like a hover board or something, but that was dismissed as the dreamer simply began gliding in a west-north-westerly direction, wondering why nobody "at ground level" ever spoke up to notice something like, "Look! That person is flying!"

At the formulation of that question, the dream ended (clarity *around* 9+) what's referred to in astral body projection as "return to body") and I *think* that's where I awoke, early in the morning.
