non-lucid

Can anyone spot a common theme in my dreams from last nigh
Night of March 20th 2015. Bed from 22:00 to 06:00. Before going to sleep I asked my guardian angle/helping spirits/spirit guide and totem animals to review themselves to me in my dreams in a way I would recognize and understand.

Did not record first 2-4 dreams.

My mum had come up to the city to help me out with something. Towards the end of her visit she asked or I offered to accompany her while she drove out of the city or all the way to her home.
On the way out of the city she often asked for directions. What I felt she was really doing was abdicating responsibility for taking such and such a road or exit.
I then answered only once when asked by her which way she should go. This made her panic resulting in her driving down the wrong side of dual carriage way at night. I spotted this and told her she need to get off the road. She insisted she was going the right way until we were caught in the headlights of a large truck coming towards us. She curved and drove the wrong way up a slip road to get off the dual carriage way.
Next we found ourselves in a service station on the outskirts of the city. We'd stopped for something to eat.
While queuing up I noticed a person who had recently passed away standing in the queue. When I told my mum who I saw she said that was impossible as that person was dead. Then I thought is this what its like to see a ghost or spirit. e.g. 100% normal if you choose to believe other 'worlds' exist outside of the physical.
I then returned to my old mood asking mam if she would be able to drive home from here by herself or if she would like me to accompany her. She didn't answer so I told her I was going home and left.
Outside I just missed the first bus. Luckily another bus came quickly after this. Buses didn't stop unless people were at the bus stop waving them to do so. However buses did slow down at which point I called out to see if the bus was going to my town (where I no longer live but were I rent out my apartment). It was, stopped and I got on. The collector told me to go ahead when I offered to pay the fair because of my nationality.

My thoughts/attempt at interpretation:
I treat my mam like that in real life because a large part of me feels she does abdicate responsibility or rather I feel she did so in the past. Maybe its now time to acknowledge this and just accept her questions with the view that maybe if I adopt this approach she will come to see me as more relaxed and open.
As for the dead person apart from wanting to see a ghost! While I acknowledge the person gave me employment when I was young I felt they were nothing more than a slave driver.

03:00
I found myself at the gym having not been there for sometime either due to injury or because I had been attending to other higher priority stuff. I sensed that maybe in my job I was a police man.
Not sure where to start I lay on an inclined bench and picked up some loose weights that were there. I then put them behind at head level and straight up by straightening my arms. When I put them behind my head and tried to straighten my arms they rubbed off the wall. I thought they would fall off and then observed that there was nothing holding them onto the bar.
While lying on the bench an ex female president also attended the gym and took a spot to my right. She was surrounded by a few companions.
Next a gym attendant a middle aged woman who I felt knew my from before by the way she approached and asked “if I could help her”. I replied 'sure'. My 'sure' was how I would answer a friend or 'sure' in a genuine way, not in a 'sure, just let me put your request on my to do list and I'll get to it sometime'.
I accompanied her to her room/office/work station. She asked me if I had travelers cheques. I said 'of course'.

My thoughts/attempt at interpretation:
I never like police and at my age I won't be joining! In saying that I can sense what it would be like to be a guardian of order / justice but served with compassion.
As for the gym I don't use a gym but felt how good it feels to return to an old or totally new activity.
Regarding the travelers cheques I need to travel but at the moment I don't have any money. Perhaps had I been mindful enough in the dream I could have told the woman I don't have any but that I would like some.

In another dream I found myself on the road beside a fence behind which was a large factory or institution. All of a sudden a helicopter approached from behind and spotted a name on the tail. Brian Cox. Then the helicopter was blown violently backwards. It then proceeded to land safely. A group of children disembarked. They were on school project to move fish to a new location. They have a fish each. One fish I saw was a turbet.
When I saw this I became irate because I automatically assumed they have not consulted with the national fishing body responsible for maintaining eco policing.

My thoughts/attempt at interpretation:
When ever I think of the name Brian Cox I think of someone who attained a top job but who always flew under the radar – excuse the pun.
Regarding fishing, I like fishing and I do get angry when I think of how non native species are allowed to be introduced without any governance what so ever.

In my final dream it was morning and I was at work/in collage in a very large institution in the Netherlands. An communication was sent out that every worker/student would receive €31 in their next pay packet due to a surplus. Surplus was the result of over charging or business having been good. I wondered why the institution had not decided to reduce next years registration fee by this amount but then I thought maybe increasing moral in the present moment was more important.

My thoughts/attempt at interpretation:
I worked in the Netherlands as a general operative when I left school.
I need financial help at this time.

I was at my fathers carpentry workshop. We were working on the wooden stairs. Suddenly he says:

- You can't be safe after the 23:00, and you can have some safety right after the 7:00

I ask him:

- What about the 3:00?

- That's the hour of Devil!

I went back to my home, and immediately lied down in my bed. I woke up at 3:00. It was rainy afternoon. I saw that my younger sister was cooking something. The atmosphere was somehow heavy. When the sister done cooking, I took a plate and a dish. I ate potatoes with some meat.

When I finished eating I went through the doorway and found myself a top of the talles building in some kind of tropical island. I climbed down some gambrel roofs, and I jumped down onto a building. It was on the outskirts of the city, and the way to a forest was nearby.

When I come closer to the edge of the rooftop, a zombie jumped out from behind the corner. I stayed on the roof, and watched as more of them appeared.

I found myself semi-lucid around my own house. I can remember flying around. I was fighting this fat DC who looked like Gluttony from Fullmetal Alchemist. I remember I was trying to mimic alchemy and convert the atoms in the ground into weapons, blades and rock pillars that would attack him.

At one point, I made a giant cannonball and covered it in spikes. This seemed to kill him. I think he vanished, and I realized that I was fighting. Then my alchemy powers stopped working but I was still able to fly around. I thought about flying to space, I saw the moon in the daytime sky and thought about going there. I remember thinking about how there was an old shared dreaming group who had a building there. I thought that I was supposed to be meeting with her (Dawneye11) in the shared dream there.

Just then the moon exploded. Bits of the moon flew outward, but the core of the moon remained, and became a black hole. Then, a gravity wave came out, first hitting the pieces of the moon and pulling them back in. It then hit the earth.

It felt like a really strong wind was pulling me toward the moon black hole. Houses and trees were pulled up and sucked in. I thought that I should try to escape the black hole. If I can't NBD, it's a lucid dream, and I'll see where it takes me.

I started flying away, but I wasn't going nearly fast enough and I was getting sucked in. I tried to go faster and managed to stop myself relative to the black hole. at one moment, however, I must have twitched my arm too fast because I woke up and moved my arm IWL.


-WBTB-

I was in my old high school with Manei. However, I was for some reason a ghost. (You know how for Halloween there is always that one person who goes as a bed-sheet ghost. Well, I was that ghost, but I wasn't a costume, I was just a bed-sheet.)

I remember at one point (though not very clearly) I was able to phase through walls. Manei was very impressed.

At some point, my ghostly bedhseet was replaced with a Victorian dress.

At the end of the dream there was this big wall of questions. It was something that my high school was doing in the dream. I remember reading one of the questions that somebody else had posted.

"Why do dentists write on our teeth with a dark blue crayon? Wouldn't dark green be on a better wavelength?

While I'm at it, how many dark blue crayons do they take away from small children who need them, after all it has been scientifically proven that little kids like the dark blue crayons?"

I looked through most of the other questions on the wall. Most of them were long and complex like that one, but I didn't bother to read all of them.

Manei said that she wanted to put a question on the wall. There was a bin of cards. She used some kind of power on it and it began rapidly cycling through a large number of words and phrases until it landed on one single word.

'why'

She posted that up in the middle of the wall.

"Why is a beautiful word because you can always ask 'why' something is the way it is. Sometimes you will arrive at an answer, and others you will not. But you can always keep asking questions. Why does this school exist? Why do I exist?"

"Why does this dream carry on even though the core message has already been conveyed?"

"Exactly."

I went back into semi-lucidity and we sat down in the back of the class that was sitting in the gym. One of the teachers was giving a presentation, but I paid no mind to what he/she was saying. I decided that this would be an opportunity to try blobularwindmils dare of drawing something and making it come to life. But somehow I remembered the dare wrong and thought that I was to draw something that was already alive.

I was looking at Manei trying to figure out how to start drawing her face. She looked over at me and gave me this big goofy smile. I told her to hold that pose for a moment. I lost the dream and woke up.

-WBTB-

Some weird nonlucid bits. I was a member of this tribe who live in a wasteland. I was looking out over our village that we were building. The dream was strangely very clear here.

I remember we were living in a sand gully. There were these huge gray mushroom structures all around. They were miles tall and clouds wrapped around their bases. It was a strange, alien world. I was considering starting a farm/garden to grow food for our people and had found a nice area of land next to the village.

Just then, like magic, the leader of our villiage approached me and asked me to do just that, start a farm and grow food for everyone. I told him I would get right on it.

...

The dream somehow gave way to a dream about this Star Wars game where you would create a team of Jedi with different skills and weaknesses and they would battle one another or other opponents.

In the game they were chasing this big cyborg guy through this space station.

...

I found myself fully lucid once more in the living room at my aunt and uncle's house. Manei was there in one of the chairs. She said something to me that I couldn't make out, like she was mumbling or something. I kept moving closer and ask her to repeat herself.

By the fourth or fifth time, I was practically leaning in her face. She had her headband on. Also, for some reason her hair was really shiny. Overall the experience of seeing her was vivd. (Much more than it had been in the last dream.) She just looked like a completely real person.

"I want to hear you call me 'Kitten'"

*tries not to laugh* "Okay, whatever you say, Kitten..."

"And your nickname can be Jaylen!"

"Why 'Jaylen'?"

"I don't hear you coming up with a better one."

"Why not 'Jade', like my Dreamviews profile name?"

*giggles* "Okay."

She then decided to give me a hug. I hugged her back and the dream blurred out and I woke up.

-WBTB-

Spoiler for Carry on at your own risk:

The fourth dream consisted of le sexytime. The clarity and sensation were terrible, and I can't remember much of anything.

I false awoke in a giant puddle of blood on my front lawn. I was naked, and I wondered were all the blood was coming from. Turns out my *ahem* manhood had been removed. I wasn't in any pain and I didn't really seem to care though.

I went inside and told my mom that this is why you shouldn't get sexy with dream characters.

Last night bed 9pm - 3:35am

DR
Lots of us DVers? are going on a plane ride. Plane is huge and ultra modern. Seats like in a theater, lots of white colors. I get off to change my clothes and go potty. Going by the cockpit noticing the door is closed and secured, no way to open it for unauthorized person.

Just remembered this one:
Walking on a dirt path, maybe 7 feet wide. Two girls just a step ahead of me. One of them is announcing snakes. But too late, when we are already on top of them. I tell them to look more ahead, not under the feet, so we can see them from distance, ffs. I look and I see some in a distance, so I know it can be done. All snakes we come up on are already dead. Clearly. Either head crushed, all dried up, or other lear sign of being dead for a while. But they were all different kinds and I see some cool details.

Remembered this one on my way to work:
We are in a building and feeling a lots of small tremors. Then there is a 6.8 in San Diego. I see it written on some sign.

#78
4 dreams on the first night

- zombie chases me
-ex gf got assaulted by a stranger, I look after her, then me and my other friends go running through a mall

#79
2 dreams second night
- in the 'Wild', crazy cool. lots of interesting alien species
- go to a chefs kitchen, i get in the way, then i go to a beach, shit gets messy (literally)

Note: I typed up all these dreams then accidentally deleted them all, so screw writing them up again >_<

'The Wild' dream - tagged as memorable.

I'm starting to get over my illness. My recall really stepped it up.

Campus Emergency

Something weird was happening. For one reason or another, every building on the college campus was closing up. It was nighttime and I was outside. I think it was because of a gas leak or somebody had an infectious disease and they needed to quarantine off the campus.

...or something.

I remember that I met up with this girl who felt familiar. I had the vague inkling that this was a dream but that I knew the girl IWL. (I have never seen the girl before in my life). She was really short and kind of chubby with long black hair.

She wanted my help going back to her dorm or my dorm or something. (First dream of the night, cut me some slack, I don't remember the plot or flow of events particularly well.) I remember going to one of the dorm buildings and having it replaced with a concrete frame of the building. We were able to navigate the stairs but there were no windows or doors or carpets or anything. I think it might have been the dorm building that I am normally living in, but then replaced with another dorm building, the one that the girl was living in.

She said that she was hungry. I told her we would find a food place. We walked around the campus, that was in a complete disarray and not arranged in any way like it was IWL. There were emergency vehicles everywhere and personnel were asking students to please remain calm. I couldn't see any fire or any sort of disaster. All of the food places on campus were closed too.

She had family/friends involved in whatever invisible campus emergency was going on, and asked if she could hold my hand at one point.

The only things that I had on me were my phone, keys and wallet. (IWL, I generally carry snacks around campus in my backpack.) I figured that since there was a big emergency, (I remember hearing in the dream that classes were going to be cancelled for awhile.)

I eventually decided that the only thing to do was to take her to my parents house. The two of us started talking and we were walking to my car. She pointed out the moon to me.

The moon was full and had 'Deal With It' sunglasses on...



Two-Path Beach Dream

I was going to the beach with my family. My grandparents were there and they were nagging me about not putting on sunscreen. I for some reason (even though I was nonlucid or only had a vague inkling that I was dreaming) said to them that it was okay that I wasn't wearing sunscreen since I was lucid dreaming, and they accepted that.

There was something to do with this guy who flew a model airplane that was the size of a real airplane and it also hit members of our family. He got in big trouble and they decided to punish him by taking him to this little sand island that was about five hundred feet offshore and making him have a time-out there.

I remember digging a hole in the sand with my hands at one point. The sand at this beach was very clay-like and mold-able. (The kind that my inner child knew that was perfect for making sand castles). I remember thinking to myself that playing in the sand is sort of a kids thing and that I should stop, but my weird semi-lucid state said that it was okay because it would be over soon and I should enjoy it while it lasts.

Path #1.

The dream took a dark turn. The sky was dark grey and white at the horizon and there were multiple suns on the horizon. They went upwards in a vertical line to about 45 degrees decreasing in size and brightness as they went up. The ground was made of an odd mirror like subsistence.

I was told that I was going to be trapped in the dream and going on a journey with a few other people. We were going to be trapped there for a very long time and needed a food supply. The only food we had was a huge glass box full of chocolate chips.

I suddenly began to feel every sick to my stomach and felt as if I had only eaten chocolate for a long time and desperately craved something else, and became semi-awake or something.

Path #2

I was on the beach still. Manei was there sleeping on a beach towel. She got up off of it and started talking to me. For some reason I was really drawn to the pattern on her beach towel.



I got teleported to my grandparent's house. I was sitting on the swing in the backyard. I felt like I was a little kid again. Manei manifested said something about wishing that I had more than one dream guide, and so she decided to split herself. She said that since she was 19, each new guide would be half her age.

She disappeared and two younger versions of her appeared side by side. One of them said that she was 9 and the other was 10. The older one was ever so slightly taller. The younger one said that this was her older sister.

9:"How much older than me are you?"

10:"One year?"

9:"I though it was more like a million bazillion years!"

Me "oh, god, please no! I hate it when there's twins and you can't tell them apart!"

The two twins disappeared and then Manei reappeared. She explained that she couldn't split her age into fractions and make two 9 and 1/2 year old twins since you can't divide whole numbers. She said that splitting herself was no fun since she didn't know how to do it properly and would just wind up with duplicates of herself.

I lost the dream.

One Manei is more than enough for me, thank you!


Clockwork by Rodely Radrick

I was reading a novel (but it was animated in the style of a Disney movie.) It was called 'Clockwork' by an author named Rodely Radrick. I know that I was semi lucid in this dream as well because I remember that I was trying to remember things about it so that I could write about them.

The story was pretty short. Alien ships would swoop down attacked and bombed world with plasma bombs. I remember seeing the attack, they cut down a city with a slow moving ship just cutting the city down like a lawnmower going back and fourth.

Only one boy survived since he hid in a cave. He for some reason had a clock in his face. His nose was the middle of the clock and clock hands would go around his face. He had roman numerals tattooed on his face.

When he found out he was the last boy on earth he became really greedy and began stealing all of the most valuable objects on the planet. He eventually made friends with a black and white cat in a ninja/theif outfit that could talk and acted as a mother figure and a robot spider with a ray cannon that caused plants to grow. (This Rodely Radrick guy was either really creative or a stoner.)

One day, the main character found a little game-boy type device and started playing a game on it. The game was like a more cartoony version of Halo. You played as these gray space marine cyborgs with rifles fighting alien brain monsters. Supposedly these were the aliens that had actually attacked earth in the story.

He was really good at the game. I remember him being on this planet where the sky was green and there were all of these stars. The surface of the planet was quicksand that rose and fell in waves, but there were purple rocks that the space cyborgs could jump on.

Upon beating the game, he learned the truth. The governments had made a pact with the aliens to preform a social experiment on humankind, and the richest people fled onto the dark side of the moon and lived with the aliens. The aliens wanted to judge human society by killing everyone and seeing, if left alone, what a lone human would do.

The war between the humans and the aliens had actually happened on a far away planet two decades ago. The humans used robots to fight so that they wouldn't have to cover up casualties. The game that the boy played was based off the real war between the humans and the brain monster aliens.

The main character then realized that he had to return all of the stuff he had taken or do something good with it to prove the aliens and government that he was good. But the clock hands on his face started spinning really fast and distracted him.

It cut back to the game that he started playing again. This made the clock hands stop spinning. I remember looking at the green sky with all the stars and thinking it looked familiar. I lost the dream and woke up.

I was with my sister walking down the street. Afternoon, or at least daytime. The place reminds me of downtown Bacolod or central market, or even that market near West Negros. We were looking for a place to go. We went through the market area. It's a long-distance walk, which I chose instead of taking a jeep. I felt like my sister was about the complain but seems she's fine.

I am trying to suck up the good (yellow) people (angels?) in a machine and I'm trying to repel the bad (pink) people. We are playing softball and one of my sisters says I'm terrible (I am) and the other team has won many tournaments so I'm not that worried about it. We live in a stilt house sticking out of the water. I don't believe these people in the house killed a man because they didn't have time to get rid of a body. I was dating someone and he left and I didn't care. W H A T?

Dream 1

My (ex) fiancé and I are holding hands, shopping around. I just remember being really happy.

Dream 2

I'm on the phone with my ex fiancé, telling him that I refuse to marry any other. He sighs, and tells me that we have to move forward and onwards. Tears roll down my face.

Didn't like this dream. Not one bit.

I was at a huge mansion. The place was new, with expensive furniture. The room was dimly lit, giving this moment a special mood. We were having a party of some kind, and it was a huge family meeting. We had many dishes lying on the silver platters. When it was late, when the meeting almost ended we heard a door bell.

The narrator voice told We always had a tradition, that we make a cooking contest within family. And when I have just opened the door and my aunt and uncle appeared the voice told And they have always won. I greeted with my uncle - male after thirties, wearing black jacket and jeans trousers. I went away, and then came back to greet him again. I shaken his hand, and he told But we've shaken our hands before! I replied Oh, we'll shake hands again anyway. And then they entered the room.

Had an intense nightmare after drinking mugwort tea. My spirit was flying in whiteness and there were weird sensations. I then collapsed on the ground and "woke up" but it was a false wake up. I was in grass or my bed I think. Later in the dream, I was on choir tour with my church, and I was in a store, and wanted to buy a violin. I walked around saw instruments asked a man about if they had a violin I could buy. I awoke to my mom and talked with her. I awoke outside in the cold by a tree and I was crying and happy and it was raining. I started to walk home I knew where I was, but I had never been there before. God and the devil was in the dream, and it was like I was dying and awakening to spiritual truths that made no sense to me, from evil spirits and I don't remember them anymore and am glad that I don't. At the end of the dream my mom was present but not visible and there was a fierce bird alive by me, it might have been an eagle, its eyes were fierce and it was awake and its wings were scary. Other things happened in the dream. I'm afraid to go back to sleep. It was intense but I forget most part of it, but the bird image (my mom has a bird, a cockateel, but this bird was definitely stronger, maybe an eagle) resonated for about a minute or two before I woke up. I was sort of inside the bird and the bird was all I could see. Strong but scary dream. Definitely a result of the mugwort. What do you think? Later in the night i had a dream where I was fishing illegally with a friend and caught a sick shark, it was blackish gray.

Last night bed 8:30pm - 3:35am

Had dreams all night. But only remember details of those that I recalled immediatelly when I woke up at 11:30 to go potty. The ones I remembered having in the morning, I guess because alarm woke me instead of waking naturally, I only remember having.

DR at 11:30

We are listening to radio news saying big change in weather is coming. I walk outside, look up at dark skies and sure enough, there is a huge and very colorful and defined halo around the moon. I show it to someone else.

Someone is asking me about something, and he thinks I did it. I tell him, "no, God turned it off".

I was with a group of friends (unfamiliar IRL) inside a darkened room. Night. While I was sitting down on the floor/couch, I saw Nimz and another guy. They stood on the bed, I think, and were trying to fix the chandelier. Nimz didn't notice me, and I just looked at him amused. After a while, he saw me and he was surprised.

I was lying down beside a guy. A lover? He was to my right. We were about to sleep? We were (or at least he was) covered in bed sheet. I was talking to him. I told him I have to leave with Nimz coz he's my best friend.

Somehow, I went ahead and forgot Nimz. I was in my unit. Night. I was right in front of his house. I opened the lock and the gate, but I stopped at the entrance. I think he wasn't there. I went out and closed the gate. I saw a dog running towards me from... west side. At first, I thought it was hostile, but as it came closer, it just played around me. There was another dog from the west. I thought it was hostile to the dog with me and therefore with me as well, but it paused a bit upon seeing me. The first dog jumped around all of us. There was a third dog. It seems they're friendly. They jumped around me, bumping to me. I went out to the street via the east-side entrance/exit. There was a gate there, unexpectedly.

I went out to the street, and I just went out of the house in my hometown. It's still night. I looked down up east, then felt something and looked down west. I felt/saw Nimz walking up. I went to meet him. When he saw me, he was almost bouncing while walking. I had a flashlight-view of him. He was wearing very short shorts (black?) and a shirt that's mainly white with other colors (circles?). We talked a bit.

He talked about getting a touch stone (sparkly crystal looking object) as a prize for a game. I thought I played that game before and won but didn't know there was a prize. There's also mention of the Mortal Kombat game. We walked on.

Notes:

- Slept at around 3 a.m.
- Woke up around 10 a.m.
- Slept to Sam Harris' audio.
- I had another dream before this, but I woke up and didn't write it.

There are two ill siblings, they seem to be recovering but then the girl relapses and starts fading away.

The younger boy is left and is depressed. I find him in a room looking for a book on knives. I go through the cooking books on the shelf and find the only one, but it’s a technical one and I keep stumbling over my words. The boy is unhappy and leaves.

Everything else is too foggy to remember, except this part where I went to the bathroom at my grandma’s house and saw myself in the mirror on the back of a door. I tried to remember if that’s where it was supposed to be. A tiger was peering at me from under the door…

Inspiration: Reading the Tower of God webtoon with Baam and Rachel, her disappearing on him. Mirror from me thinking about the TotM and what mirrors were around places I go. Tiger comes from a cat toy Jazzy has, I sometimes hang it from the window so she can play with it.

I kept waking up and shifting around in my sleep, I was too hot but too drowsy to do anything about it

Dream 1

Isabelle's (my best friend) brother's (let's call him Brandon) car, a black corsa, blocked the way out so that his father couldn't leave. Isabelle and I were supposed to be dropped off somewhere by him, and are standing in the corridor, ready to go. Her father grumbles before calling Brandon so that he can move his car. Unfortunately, Brandon is fast asleep upstairs and cannot hear him. The dream ends when his father stomps upstairs to go wake him up.

Dream 2

Still at Isabelle's house, we are in her room, joined by her cousin, sister and my grandmother. It is about 8 pm, and we are all getting ready to go out and celebrate (what I have no clue). I'm sitting at her desk, facing the huge ornate mirror which rests on it. She's sitting on her bed, situated behind me. I see her flinch, and ask her what is wrong. She looks at me whilst bringing the index finger of her right hand to eye level. I see blood spurting out fairly abundantly, much like the way a jet of water would bounce off a spoon. Upon closer instruction, I see that the blood is clear, and in fact simply just water. (You'd think that would give me a little hint like, 'psssst this isn't possible, you're dreaming!' but nope). I hand her a band aid which she applies carefully. Following this, she reminds me to bring money with me for ice cream which according to her, cost £7 each. Excited at the prospect of watching fireworks, I smile and stand up, intending to go downstairs. As I open the door, I am greeted with the image of her father dancing along to some hip hopish song in order to entertain some nearby children. This has me in stitches (if you knew her father it would have the same effect on you), and I call Isabelle so that she can witness it herself. We laugh unrestrainedly, giddy and full of joy.
