in a normal montage sequence) a gloriously vivid montage-dream (twenty or so scenes exhibiting the fabulous form of females) although most of the scenes were of unclothed women the scenes weren't meant to, nor did they, cause arousal the theme of the montage was an appreciation of the female form the first scene was of a young woman aged twenty-two or thereabouts she is standing without moving on a rotating pedestal hers wasn't a fantasy-type shape when dressed she could be any one of half of the women we see while out and about compact and strong her gentle smile exuded confidence ninety-nine out of a hundred men would find her attractive another scene which stands out is of another young woman with long dark hair she is more slender than the first woman as we view the scene,

over-the-shoulder carry bag the over-the-shoulder bag had a two-metre long butterfly net in it am on my way to an area rich in flora and fauna the reason ? the day before, the mainstream media carried an item about a newly discovered type of bee it had never been seen before it was twice as big as a bumblebee and had an orange tinge to it there was a lot of speculation about how much honey they would produce there was also excited anticipation that the nutrients in the honey would have natural beneficial applications it was the "hot topic" of the day, everyone was talking about it the dreamerintended to catch some and make a habitat they would find productive my objective was to research the benefits of the honey asthe dreamercrossed the roadthe dreamernoticed a woman and a man

in a friendly tone thatthe dreamerleave the bees alone he too had figured outthe dreamerwas going to catch some of the bees it seemed to me that he would understand my motives but the dream ended beforethe dreamerhad the chance to tell him aside whenthe dreamerwas aged five and at primary school, during a spell when we were allowed to move freely within the school grounds near a hedge, the squeals of two or three girls caught my attention whenthe dreamerwent to investigate the cause of the commotion it turned out to be a bumblebee it was probably the first time the girls had seen a bumble, it might have been mine too the size of the bee was enhanced by its colour to a young mind, it would be as large as a sparrow the dreamermoved in closer and could see from its graceful flight it wasn't a threat when it landed on a flowerthe dreamerput my finger in front of the direction it was moving the bee did whatthe dreamerthought it would do it climbed onto my finger which, to the bee, was nothing more than a minor obstacle in getting to the flower when it was on my fingerthe dreamerturned around to show the girls it wouldn't harm them the girls stood in silent awe as a new

couldn't make sense of the details the dream... at a world-famous bodybuilding gym (location unknown) the gym was aptly named the beefcake there were three or four men, all about the same size, standing around an inclined bench they were encouraging and "standing in" for another man as he did a single "rep" which equalled the world record (stand-out visual) the world record is around five-hundred kilogrammes bodybuilding is an art in this dream every factor which is known to take musculature to its zenith is common knowledge the men in the dream had applied the knowledge each of them had exactly the same personal best for the incline bench press movement which equalled the world record every man was, at first glance, the shape and size of the other it was only when the skin and shape of each individual muscle of the men was scrutinised that differences could be seen the men were "warming up" for the contest the contest would take place after an attempt of another world record had been accomplished in a different sport next part of the dream the other world record is an endurance-speed, five-thousand-kilometre solo run as with the maximum lift for the bodybuilders, so too it was for the car the record hardly varied technology had taken every aspect of car engines to their peak only increases of tenths of a second were accepted the world record averaged two-hundred and fifty kph over a five-thousand-kilometre distance, two-thousand-five hundred and fifty kilometres out and the return journey it is the culmination of a new attempt it is nighttime the view is of a lighted straight road that diasappears into the distance three or four kilometres away the road is lined with spectators the finish is brightly lit in the dark distance, the lights of a

on the road another set of headlights appear in the distance the sound of the engine becomes audible when it is half a kilometre away the sound of the engine takes on different pitches as it gets closer at fifty metres the car has the depth of sound of a tug boat (the stand-out audio) the twelve-litre "v" engine resonates in the body and mind notes 1 the sensation of the movements we are currently experiencing in no way compares to the motions in heaven for one thing, heavenly movement never stops for another, the "feel good" experience never stops notes 2 the writer knows the addictive feeling of the sound and acceleration which accompanies a "v-8" engine having owned two v-8's in the 1980s it would be criminal neglect if the writer did not bring your attention to the consequences of murder the closest the writer came to committing murder was in a v-8 it was as he approached a t-junction the road leading to the t-junction was on a ten-degree incline one or two metres from the junction my speed was five to seven kmph from out of nowhere, three or four girls aged about twelve on bicyles rode off the pavement and onto the road in front of me the dreamerjumped on the brakes but even at a few kmph the bike of the lead girl of the group went under the car it was only by virtue of his "Terrible love" that the girl had the presence of mind to recognise the danger and let go of the bike and fall on the ground the bike was under the left-front wheel and was completely crushed the girl was in a mild state of shock she lived in the next street to the right

accompanies driving to understand how we have ingrained into our lifestyle "acceptable" ways people can be killed we have to go back five-thousand years 3000 bc was when the chariot made its debut in those times when a person took a persons life by "accident", they would be confined to a place where they could reflect on what had happened then, along came Jehu the reckless being a commander he was "entitled" to set the "law" he chose to drive his chariot in a way that threatened other peoples lives and earnt the nickname of jehu the reckless (yet another example of the jews making death a normal event) the fact is we have all allowed ourselves to accept that taking a person's life by "accident" is not wrong part of the writer's message is to re-acquaint you with the nature of reality

he and the people in the room didn't like me he said something which made me ask him why had said what he said he put his arm around my shoulder and said, "let's go outside and talk" the dreamerthought there might be a fight it turned out the reason the group didn't warm to me was thatthe dreamerwas friends with a woman who was friends with someone who had done something really nasty

dark-grey mice with large beige-coloured ears (the stand-out visual 4.2) they, like me, were waking up and orienting themselves to their surroundings with the mice in my hand, got out of bed and walked into the kitchen to the shelf beyond the sink there was a cage on the shelf about twenty-five centimetres on all three sides in the cage, there were five or six miniature features and
