The Cassette Rewind:  This one was/is a bit difficult to remember, however, it
involved the dreamer finding a video tape, theoretically of a porn film or some
type of material from hard R-to-X rated, and although nothing was shown or
listed to from the tape, the dreamer attempted to put it into a device in order
to rewind the tape.  (Perhaps a touch of the compulsive "be kind- rewind" hung
over from years past.  I did this with audio cassettes just as a matter of
principle- and still do!)
Clarity 8, mostly from lacking much detail of whatever else the dream involved.
However, it *may* have been a part of this next dream scene:

The Handshake (and Company):

The dreamer *may* have been involved in "cleaning out the home" which was *very
similar* to the setting of where I used to live in a mobile home on Asbury Lane.

There was a female present, who was apparently attempting to pitch in on the
clean-up effort.

She was also somewhat concerned over something the dreamer had mentioned, about
the unknown whereabouts of "Larry," who happens to have been a real-life friend
of mine since around 1980, although we first met in 1977.

Well, the female seemed actually agitated over not knowing where he was, so the
dreamer gave him a phone call, which *switched* the view to that of a camera's
view of "Larry" out along the rocky-sandy shore of a sparkling lake.  This was
the type of very gradual, sloping shoreline where the greener ground gives way
to the pebble & sand coastline of what *could* have actually been a creek, but
had the sense of being a larger body of water (such as a lake or even the ocean,
if it were set in Florida or the Bermudas, etc.)

He was saying something about how he needed a break, and was just out soaking up
some fun & sun (at the lake, wherever) then the scene shifted *back* into the
mobile home, where "Larry" showed up in a suit and tie (it was at *least* a
2-piece, possibly a 3-piece, business-like, dark & gray, what some might call a
"power suit.")  He was just "catching up" as if continuing the general nature of
the earlier phone call, and shook hands with the female, then shook hands with
the dreamer.

Well, this is where the dream went from clarity 9- to 9+, possibly even 10:  The
dreamer was using a technique that *I personally* use when shaking hands, that
being the "cupped hand" which prevents the *other* person from crushing the
cupped hand during a hand shake.  In fact, the harder someone tries to grip a
cupped hand, the "firmer" that person will perceive the hand-shake.  You
literally, physically need to try it to understand just how effective it is.

In the dream, the dreamer took the cupped-hand advantage then used it to
*squeeze* (nearly crush) the hand of "Larry," who began to give a
concerned/alarmed/surprised look at the pressure he was starting to experience.

The dreamer laughed good-naturedly, then began to massage out "Larry's" hand by
placing it between the palms of the dreamer's hands and mashing carefully, so as
to press back out the bones and muscles of "Larry's" hand.  (Similar to the
concept of "clean your tools before putting them back."  If you prank someone
that instills any pain, you need to remove that pain and allow health and
healing to flow back into them.)

The Human Dog in the Field:

This dream could have two different meanings at the "waking consciousness"
level, but that *may* simply be a "coincidence"- perhaps not?

The dreamer was observing a guy walking on all fours *like a dog* across the
school field (behind Reeves-Rogers) behind the house on Scottland Drive, yet it
looked like something may have been *under* him, which the dreamer at first
thought was a small donkey or horse, because of the size of the *massive* "horse
apples" (manure) that fell out the person/creature's rear end, *similar* to how
a horse (or elephant, or any quadruped with a tail) poops as it walks along.

The camera swung *wide* around this critter (keeping a distance) and noticed
that the dog under the (male?) human appeared like that of a "shaggy dog," yet
still it kept dumping manure every few steps.  The human shape atop of the
under-dog would stop moving in perfect synchronization with the under-dog, and
they would start moving as one after dumping a load.  (Note:  a horse can walk
*and* poop, whereas a human or dog typically *stops* to poop, as did the critter
in the dream.)

The critter was about to dump its third load, when the dream ended, likely
clarity 7 (symbolic.)  I have a *fairly* good hunch as to what this was about
(there's a guy online who very convincingly claims to be "Lucifer" although he's
clearly just possessed, and has a *small* bulldog as a (beloved?) pet.)

Meanwhile, between waking and writing this up, I noticed a truck load of manure
and a heavy-set fellow and a younger, leaner looking guy, shoveling manure /
mulch along the front landscaping at 1102 Scottland (across the street from me)
which is going up for auction next month.  That's the "real life" scene that
*may* just be a coincidence to the dream.  1102 is viewed out the "front"
window, whereas the human/dog combo was viewed out the "back side" of 1103.
