While I've had various dreams since last posting, I've been relatively busier in
the mornings to the extent that posting them has fallen by the wayside, just a
bit.

For example, last night/this morning, there were a few *really strange* dreams
that are only just now starting to come back to mind as I sit here to type.

All this morning, I was thinking, "that dream was / those dreams were curious"
but found that they'd evaporated too much to recall.  What I *can* tell you is
that there was a series of dreams, like with 3 distinct elements, and then that
series was *repeated* a few moments later, as if re-running the 3 segments.
(And yet *still* I'm unable to recall the elements, although I think *one* of
them had to do with a puncture needle, possibly a medically-related shot of some
kind (?))

The dream that first *leapt* back to mind, however, occurred while I was rinsing
my hands in the kitchen sink, and spotted this potato that I've wedged into a
glass of water, in the hopes of recreating an old elementary school experiment
of watching a potato's eyes start to sprout.  (I hope to be planting some
potatoes later.)

As I noticed this, a dream segment came right back into mind, wherein I dreamt I
had mistakenly drank the water from that glass, which has (in real life) turned
just a bit cloudy, like, "potato water."  Strangely enough, that dream was
around clarity 10 to 10-, as I (the dreamer) couldn't figure out *what on earth*
may have caused me to do such a thing?  Typing this up, I'm thankful it was
"only a dream" and that I *didn't* actually drink the potato water.  (Or did I,
in some quantum, parallel universe??)

So while sitting down to type this up, another *really* odd dream came back to
mind, wherein the dreamer (and someone else!) was walking along an area
*similar* to the outdoors public areas of a campus, *or* on the sidewalk areas
of a public place, such as the city hall or library, etc., when there was
spotted on the ground a rather long looking snake, with the appearance of a
rather long Tootsie Roll ® but with a sense of it being more like a "turd
snake":  it was a snake, yet *also* a turd, and the only way to kill it was to
step on it (behind the "head" / leading edge) and separate the head from the
body.

Well, this led to a follow-up scene where the snakes were more like little,
black shadow shapes, about 6" long, but they had an inflatable quality of sorts-
if such a snake were to attach / attack itself to an animate object (such as
person *or* a critter) from behind, it could invade the anus and (theoretically)
inhabit the person (or critter) such that an observer (such as another human,
such as the dreamer) might be unable to tell if the affected target (person or
critter) was compromised by the shadow snake.

Believe it or not, there was a remedy for this situation:  The dreamer could
*step* on the shadow *before* it fully invaded a critter (or person) and as the
target continued to walk away, the shadow snake ("demon"?) simply stayed put,
thus exiting the target (person or critter.)

There was a sense of the shadow thing (snake/demon?) being rather unhappy /
irritated at having been deprived of its target, but there was also no sense of
any need to "kill" the shadow, much like the occasional urge to kill a snake or
other malefic entity in a dream.  It was more like, having prevented the shadow
from attaining its objective, the shadow was "exposed," so that it was no longer
a threat to the target.  Simply being aware of it rendered it powerless, so to
speak.  Clarity 9, but I'm thinking this *may* have been one of those
"spiritual" level 11 type dreams.  On the allegorical level, it would count as a
"7" (for "symbolic.")

Then there was this rather curious dream of which too much has evaporated to
write it out in a coherent narrative, however, it involved a lion/tiger-type
critter, a bit like "Aslan," the lion character from the book series "Narnia"-
even though I've never read the series, I've been exposed to "bits" of it from
general media exposure (television, cable, trivia shows, etc.)

At any rate, there was a (*dark*) shroud or net of some kind (*perhaps* up to 4
times larger than a King-sized bed quilt) that was being sought after, as if
possession of the net/shroud was like owning a valuable "tool" (perhaps in
either a political or even construction allegory) and the thing I remember most
was the net being thrown down (as if from a higher position than the dreamer's
perspective) and the lion landing down *on* the net, as if it had pounced upon
it.

Now, this *only just* occurred to me, but I *suspect* it *may* be related to the
law-fare (false, "trumped up" charges) attack against Donald J. Trump in New
York City, where the liar of liars, Michael Cohen, is expected to testify today.
In this allegory, Trump is the lion that pounces down upon the net, as if the
net were a trap (woven of shadows) that had been meant to trap him, but he
(Trump) simply stood (stands) on top of / above it.

I'm very hopeful this may be an omen / sign that Trump wins against the left (as
he so often does.)  Clarity 7 for now, as it was clearly symbolic.
