Artillery

I finally understood the meaning of some symbol. I'm going to find it later and post it.

It occurred in my dream last night.

In it I remember my dad becoming angry with a kid- a guy, who lived near him, where we used to live in Hanson Meadows, or it seemed like it was there. The guy was a dumbass. He fired some kind of artillery round, and it landed near my dad, in his driveway, only 15 feet away or so. He told me, and we were both kind of laughing about it, but at the same time, pissed. It didn't explode, for detail, it just seemed to poke a hole in the ground, about an inch big.

I already know I'm missing a large part of the details.

My dad was an artillery guy in the U.S. part of the conflict in Vietnam, in the 60s. An officer. He flew observation. Or he was the eyes in the sky. Once, his calculations resulted in the death of a Holy Cow, of one of the animistic tribes around there, near Cambodia, I think. He was then required to appease them, to keep relations positive, by attending a ceremony where they ate the cow, and he was decorated by the people, and was central to the ceremony. He wasn't "punished", but this was the way they did it.

But he pointed this guy out. Where he lived. I wanted to say something to this guy... To try to beat it into him that that round could have landed on anyone. A child. Through their heads. I pointed out a little girl, who was a little boy, who was Black, but became a tan, then paler White, little girl. "You could have killed that little girl, and or that little girl, or that person. Do you get it? Do you understand? Find a field, an open field- a large open field, and then use it, if you want." I was kind of laughing when I was telling him this, my father right beside me, to my left. But I was serious.

Just prior, or perhaps somehow during, I told my father that I could order a hit on the guy... That I knew someone who would take him out, if I just asked. This was the truth, however inflated. I have a guy who has vowed to protect me, if I ask for it.

My dad starts handing me money, while the guy is there- the guy who fired the shot that landed in my dad's drive way. Handed me a 20, then a 10, and seemed like he would keep going, but I stopped him, and wanted to give the guy another chance.

Then I remember he was riding a motorcycle- this guy, and was reckless. He was driving it through a building. Through a hospital it seemed. It looked like a banquet hall/convention center hall, but also a hospital. Just ran through people. Here, I said, "We need to kill him", and there was laughter. But also, I was very serious, and I think we may have then hunted him down.

I remember in that scene many people crowded together, chasing him, each with various things that looked like weapons. But they weren't really weapons like they looked like. Shaped like guns, I think. Some of them. One woman actually did seem to have a gun.

Lots I don't remember. Wish I could remember all of dreams.

I was in a baseball game. I remember, at times, pitching. And sometimes I was the catcher. It was very close. Like, the pitcher was only 10, and 15 feet away from the batter/catcher. Bases were proportionate to that. It didn't seem like a serious game, but I don't know. I only remember playing those two positions, and not taking it seriously.

Mike- my friend, seemed to live across the street. In life, in the neighborhood I grew up in, he lived behind.

As for the snake symbol, I seem to be having difficulty finding it. I would maybe have to draw it, but I wouldn't know where to begin. Here are some that look similar.

These aren't doing it justice, and might be of other meaning. I might try to draw it later and take a picture of it. But the basic idea was that where-ever the snake turned/curved, and in completion enveloped/encapsuled/"encircled", there was a dot, or circle there with some design there, and that dot represented a point- That of a person, place, thing, thought, feeling, anything in the associative network. And it went around them all, aware of them, connected to them. All one. It was beautifully formed. The dots contained in the symbol, which the snake made up, were the connected everything, through it's eyes/consciousness. It was a symbol which to me described synchronicity. The last one, above, seems to be compatible.

Here's another(s):

Blogs only allow four images, but this is another:

I keep on wanting to say that it was just one snake, though. Lots I see seem to have two.
