Dream: Clumsy at the Convention

I’m in a convention center, making my way from a reception area to where the main event will take place. I realize that I need to put my mask1 on, so I slow my pace while I pull the mask out of my right front pants pocket. I get the feeling that some other stuff fell out of the pocket, so I stop and turn to look on the floor behind me. And while I do so, someone who was walking behind me tells me that I’ve dropped something and stoops to pick it up. Seeing that it’s one of my used hankies, I tell the person that I’ll get it and thank him.

So, I’ve picked up the hanky and put it back in my pocket. And now I’m standing while trying to hold all kinds of stuff, which includes my mask, a small notebook and pen, another hanky and perhaps a pamphlet about the event. It’s really hard for me to put the mask on without both my hands being free.

Wednesday Weigh-In 20211201

My senses of smell and taste are starting to return. The first thing I was able to taste was the Celestial Seasonings tea flavor "Bengal Spice".

Dream: Yellow Legged Bugs

I’m outside at a lakeside picnic area.  There are people, picnic tables & benches and flora.

I’m supposed to interact with the wildlife.  There is a bug that’s numerous.  It has four yellowish legs that stick out the front.  It’s about an inch long by ½ inch wide, mostly shiny brown wing covering.

I see one stuck somewhere in a web not of its own making, and sometimes it sticks to my shirt front.  So then I gently blow it off onto a bush.  I say “hi” to them.

Dream: Custom Calendar / Priest in the Pew

I’m looking for blank calendar paper that I can write the numbers into for a month of days, but all I find are calligraphy paper.  The calendar page that I find online on the computer doesn’t accept large numbers like 620.


I’m in a church.  The priest sits with us in the pews.  I have a drill bit.  When the priest is at my seat, he puts his white-gloved hand on it and then pulls back because of how sharp it is.

He goes to the last pew that’s against the brick wall.  Everyone’s sitting backwards facing the wall instead of facing the altar.  I’m worried about how disrespectful that appears.  But the priest doesn’t seem to mind.

Dream: Neighbor's Backyard Construction

I'm in the house. I hear an helicopter flying low and close by to the West, so I look out my window. I don't see the helicopter, but I do see lots of signs of change on the property of the neighbor and his neighbor, in their backyards.

Then I look out the living room window at our backyard. My attention is captured by a very large Hawk that flies East from the neighbor's backyard to ours and alights on a tree branch. It's missing feathers in a band around its entire midsection. Then I notice the beginnings of a driveway on our neighbor's back lawn.  The grass was removed and filled with a layer of sand or fine gravel ready for paving. It ends abruptly as it abuts our yard. My wife is going to freak.

Dream: Outpost

I'm viewing an Outpost in a wilderness. So I'm sort of there, but I'm really just watching as if separate from the place. Some dangerous, evil creatures have invaded. We don't see them, but we know they're there because they build structures on the land -- huge, skeletal pieces. Someone realized that the creatures could be defeated if the structures are toppled, and so that's what the men are doing. It starts slow with a girder coming down every so often. But then a huge structure is detonated and collapses, which turns the tide. The last structures to be removed are wooden scaffolding and shutters, like saloon doors, that are attached to the concrete Outpost building itself. These are easily removed, and all is back to normal.
