Had a BUSY day today! (Got a battery-powered HART reciprocating saw to take down tree branches, but....) Got a "jig saw" (has a short, maybe 4" or 5" blade) as a means of sawing down a few tree branches that overhung the roof and the garage. The tiny blade was a bit underpowered for the task, and the batteries seemed to be unable to last long under the work load. For a "jig saw," I'm sure it's awesome, but for tree branches, "nicht so gut!" FORTUNATELY, my neighbor and his son voluntarily chipped in with their ginormous extension ladder and chain saw, and while they got down the big stuff, and asked for some of the dropped limbs for firewood, I hauled away the skinny branches and such to make a pile out by the curb for the city folk to haul away. PLUS a plumber crew stopped by to help with a situation that seems to involve replacing ALL the cast iron sewage pipes from beneath the house.... NOT fun. The main thing is, the *interesting* dream I had this morning had to wait until now (23:04 8/17/2021) to get written up, which sorta defeats the purpose of posting in the morning (to get an authenticated time stamp to predate any actual events.)
The dream was "interesting" in that I ("the dreamer") was looking at someone looking at me ("the dreamer"/the camera perspective): the face looked a *bit* like "Andy of Mayberry" (maybe 30s or so?) but then reminded me a bit of an older Ron Howard (maybe 50s or 60s?) with a generally reddish tint to his hair. As I looked, he ALSO bore a resemblance to my father, and thus, to me as well. While I was trying to get a "bead" on his appearance, he seemed to age into his 70s, and his head began to show a "wrinkly" appearance. About this time, "I" *cradled* his head in my hands, only "I" was without form or image, merely "dark energy" as if simply form without any borders of appearance.
When I awoke from this *odd* dream, I had the impression that whatever form I'd been in was cradling that old person's head as if it were a baby. I'd also "felt" the wrinkles in the skin of his skull, although the dream was ending and "I" was returning to "waking consciousness," so whatever actually happened at the end was certainly "unclear," other than a residual "friendly feeling" as if I'd been chatting with Andy Griffith OR Ron Howard OR someone who looked a *bit* like my dad (in a family way, also a bit like myself.)
Then I get the news (in real life) later this morning: my neice, Lyndsey, was having / about to have her baby. I told my mother, "It's gonna be a boy." She later informs me that Lyndsey had a baby boy. She later informed me that Lyndsey and her spouse (also a female) named the child "Logan" which also happens to be the name of my 2nd son, although there is certainly reason to suspect that Lyndsey may have never known this little factoid. As far as I know, the sperm donor was anonymous, but I'm still suspecting that Logan will look a bit like Andy, Opie, my dad and myself (because Lyndsey's maternal grandfather is my dad, and the child has Lyndsey's DNA plus the sperm donor's.)
