I know, I'm posting this on 10/12 (Thursday) but I just got rather busy yesterday, and am moving the dream journaling "up" in order of things to get done today so as to get "caught up":

The dreamer was observing this (white) guy (perhaps in his late teens, early 20s–early 30s?) who had "unique" earrings formed by means of those tribal hoops that you may have seen some left-wingers appropriate from native, African tribes (where they put an increasingly larger disc in their lower lip, like a crumb-catcher plate, and increasingly larger hoop rings in their ear lobes for god-only-knows-what-purpose.)

The guy's ear lobes themselves were actually unremarkable— it was what was hanging *from* them that was "unique": The guy had *stacks* (as in *a* stack per side) of cash hanging from each ear, like around $10 million on one side, and another $10 million on the other. (I actually heard the amount "20 million dollars" heard in reference to the total value of the cash.)

He looked like a walking balance scale (of money!!) (It is reasonable to presume that the stacks were built up like 4 bricks forming a square layer (▄ ) and there were layers reaching perhaps 4' in height (█) forming one column on each side of the guy's head / dangling from each ear lobe.)

Clarity 9, and pretty much was unique enough that any other dreams from that day were mostly evaporated upon waking.

It's already after 11 AM, so much of this has already evaporated, but there were perhaps 2 or more dream segments that pretty much are being recalled as one scenario / event / scene:

The setting had to deal with my former job(s) (IRL) at Automotive Service for Bobby Irwin (I worked for him on at least two separate occasions in my life, but basically doing the same job of office manager, and always at the same rate of pay, a barely usable $10/hr.)

The dream activity, however, had different functions, and often were so awkward as to make *almost* no sense. For example, one dream element involved accruing / accumulating *things* (possibly parts / inventory) which makes a *bit* of sense, but in the dream was more like someone's fixation or idiosyncrasy, although there *was* some sense of monetary value associated with the material (content) being accumulated / acquired.

In another scene, the dreamer saw some guy (with a reddish/brownish aura to the scene) standing ahead on the left, but facing further off ahead to the left, so the guy's backside was toward the dreamer's perspective.

What made this scene bizarre is that the guy was standing as if in some type of rubber-band sling, similar to what you might see Wile E. Coyote using to catch the Road Runner. Keeping this in human perspective, let's say the guy was at least 5' tall, possibly 6', and at least 180 (on the shorter scale) to 250 (on the taller scale) *possibly* as the result of body building.. To be sure, that *may* be what this dream element was / is about: the guy was pulling himself back against the rubberband sling, increasing tension against his backside, only it was as he could easily walk forwards rather than catapult himself forwards. Clarity 8+/9-.

There was a bit more to the dreams, but again, evaporation. I sometimes think I delay until later in the day so I will be less inclined to type *so much more* as when the dreams are fresher in memory.

On this day in A.D. 1307 (716 years ago) French king Philip IV the Fair ordered the mass arrest of Knights Templar in the Kingdom of France. Apparently (as some narratives relate the story) the King was in league with the Pope to take all the treasures of the Knights and also to dissolve their power structure, as the knights provided safe travel between Europe and "the Holy Land" (Israel) and also kept their funds in something like a bank account, which allowed pilgrims to travel without getting robbed along the way, *and* with the knights as an armed paramiltary (security) service, the knights "made out like bandits" until the King and the Pope became bandits themselves.

According to > history.info/on-this-day/1307-knights-templar-arrested-on-friday-13th < "some consider that the superstition about Friday 13th being an unlucky day stems from this very event. Even the Grand Master of the order, the famed Jacqes de Molay, was arrested in Paris, together with 60 of his knights.

"The French king’s motive to have the Templars arrested was simply that he owed them a large sum of money. Namely, the king was at war with England and had been borrowing money from the Templars (with the waning of the Crusades, the Templars had become something akin to a banking system).

"In time, the king’s debt grew to unmanageable levels, and so the king decided to get rid of them in an underhanded way. He used various unfounded rumors about their activities in order to have them tried for heresy and all sorts of blasphemous deeds.

"The arrested Templars were subjected to torture, and many eventually “confessed” to spitting on the cross, renouncing Christ, idolatry, sodomy, and obscene rituals. These confessions shocked the French populace. The king then talked the pope into ordering all Templars in the world to be arrested.

"It is important to note that the aforementioned pope, Clement V, was French, and did not have his seat in Rome, but in southern France. This allowed the French king to put pressure on him more easily."

==========================================
Now, one would think this to have some kind of relevance to a dream, although other than that vision of the golden, crimson red dawn with the parted west side of the red sea as the backdrop, it somewhat fits in historically with the so-called "day of rage" that has been called for by the terrorists in their unbridled hatred of Israel, and against God. The Israeli airforce dropped leaflets all over the "northern" area of the Gaza Strip, advising the citizens to "leave" because the Right Hand of God is about to be unleashed in wiping out Hamas from that area (and presumably rescuing hostages along the way.)

As Jesus Himself prophesied in John 16:2— ...a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. [aka "jihad"] Now is a *good* time to get *out* of DNC controlled cities in DNC controlled states in America (and similar locations around the world.) The "current age" is having "birth pangs" of the "coming age."

And that, as much as anything else, "sets up" the dream I had, which otherwise, has practically zero other context:

The dreamer was listening to this young (male) child, perhaps age 5, singing in a clear, pitch-perfect voice, something *perhaps in the genre* of (U.S.. Southern) Country Music. The dreamer was less focused on the lyrics and more on the "inspiring" singing of the boy. It was as if a child were singing lyrics to a song more along the lines of something a teen would be singing, but young children do that all the time, without fully realizing the context of the lyrics they're singing.

There was a guy with a microphone, holding it close to the child's mouth, so as to record the singing, although there was some bit of bobbling about such that there was perhaps too much focus on the mic and the recording when the "focus of attention" should have been on the child himself. The dreamer was feeling a kind of "divine awe" of the child's singing, which was pitched in the normal singing range of a child, rather than in the upper register of the young, male voice (which is often higher than most women can sing, with perhaps the exception of Mariah Carey, et al.)

At any rate, the dreamer ended up picking up and carrying the child, in the way a father will hug a child and hold the child with the father's left arm used to brace / support the child's torso.

There is another segment, which perhaps came at an earlier time, wherein the dreamer was as if at a camp or vacation location of some sort, wherein the dreamer had a week's worth of clothing and other items in the dreamer's room.

There was a quick view of a load of stuff piled up at one point, as if in a room off a hallway, and there was the sense that it was stuff that had been "brought back" from the previous week's guests.

So at any rate, the dreamer returns to the dreamer's room, carrying the child, and the dreamer's room's contents are all *gone,* as if wiped out by the hotel staff or something.

The dreamer ends up arguing with someone (perhaps like a hotel clerk or manager or such) that the checkout time was at like around 9 AM, yet all the stuff appears to have been cleaned out by 6 AM (while the dreamer was away) and the argument was like, "If y'all were planning on cleaning out the rooms at 6 AM, you should've TOLD {us / the guests} that cleanout time was 6 AM, and I'd have recovered all my stuff. Now it's just *gone*. How do I get it back?"

The response was something along the lines of the recovered content would be returned for claiming around Wednesday, in the middle of the coming week.

The dreamer was really peeved at the whole situation, yet was still holding the child as previously mentioned, so the dream ended in frustration / resignation of some kind, with the question / resolve being *something* like: "Well, on to the next item of business." Clarity 9, yet perhaps 8 at some points.

In another dream, there was a female (of around 30s? 40s?) who was of brown hair, perhaps just beyond shoulder length, who seemed to be attracting the dreamer's attention.

That scene ended when she took a step forward, leaving the dreamer a step behind, as if she had walked into a slotted area, such as between a bed and a wall, yet the foot of the bed (area) was more like a gate, and the dreamer stayed behind that area, saying something along the lines of observing aloud to the female that she was to him an attraction, that she had a quality that was attracting him.

It was meant as something of a romantic compliment/overture, but the dream ended at that point, clarity 9.
