Had a number of dreams that "kept me busy" last night, but the one that remained the clearest (post-evaporation phase, aka "waking up") involved the dreamer at a location wherein several people were present, possibly even a dozen or more.

There was a female who seemed a *bit* like Margot Robbie (imdb.com/name/nm3053338) and *just a bit* like in the Barbie role (although I've NOT seen that movie (yet): imdb.com/title/tt1517268) but with a *touch* of chaotic abandon (is that par for the role of "Barbie"? or is it a touch of influence from her role as "Harley Quinn" in "Suicide Squad" (imdb.com/title/tt1386697)?)

At any rate, this Margot-like female comes into an area somewhat like a larger activity room, and merrily *dumps* a bunch of objects, very much like magnetic alphabetical and numerical characters that are used as refrigerator magnets for teaching children, right into the middle of the floor.

A guy (who reminded me a bit of myself at a younger age) issues some sort of exasperated sigh, with an overheard sentiment of "Now you've ("we've"?) gotta go and clean all that mess up."

That comment certainly gave the dreamer a moment of "pause," at which point that scene ended, clarity 8 to 8+. (Much, if not *all* of the setting was simply "dim.")

And although I recall being *very* busy in dream world last night, that's the only bit that made it through the veil of waking memory to this point.

Sunday morning, before waking, I had a sort of "vision/image" being viewed of a "white fog" of sorts, as a "*foreground*" with a sort of [hole in the fog] revealing a darker *background* of darkness. Mind you, the darkness was "not" *opaque* as if it could NOT be seen through, but simply "darkness," as if looking "into the heart of darkness." I use that phrase because the "portal" / "hole" in the white-misty-foggy foreground was *perfectly* valentine-heart-shaped. ❤️. Only it was a "hole" in the white foreground, thus was like looking through the iris of an eye (👁️) into the interior chamber of an eye (♥).

Now, for the record, I'm presently the "assisted living" of my elderly mother: I tuck her into bed at night *for* the night (although she has a means of contacting me for assistance, if needed) and she always says things like "I love you" and "You're a blessing" and similar words of thanks and praise. (Sorry, they do get to be a bit routine.)

The point is, when I saw that "heart vision" before waking, I was mentally asking: "Mom? You need any help?" Now as to whether or not that was an appropriate interpretation / meaning *or not* is somewhat up-for-grabs. It *could* have been a "peek" into some *other* concept— *any* concept (or person!)— but was certainly "heart/love related." Just because I mentally addressed it, that has *no* direct indication as to whether or not I was addressing the issue *properly.*

(I remember during one of my first, *memorable* OOBEs, I asked the images present within the vision, "Why don't you stink?"— thinking they were ghosts of the dead or something. WAY, *WAY* off base!)

Meanwhile, 2023/10/30 Monday:
Had a dream of some sort involving transportation, as if the dreamer were somehow involved in something having to do with a group of people in transit between locations, much like how a parent might accompany a group of band students on an out-of-town trip to a beach or something. Sorry, just about all the details have since evaporated, although the original dream itself was in the 8-to-9 clarity range.
