I had a very clear dream about putting on a white U.S. Navy uniform with the insignia of a commissioned officer. After I went outside, I noticed that I still had Petty Officer 2nd Class stripes on my sleeve and I needed to go back inside and cut off the patch.

At another point, I was performing a lot of mathematical calculations; orbital calculations. I could visualize some kind of planetary object but I am not sure what it was. It might have been the comet but I'm not certain.










From 2/6/1971 ( I was Apollo 14 Antares command astronaut walking on the Earth's moon ) to 7/13/1991 ( USS Kentucky SSBN 726 commissioned into U.S. Navy active duty ) is: 7462 days

7462 = 3731 + 3731

From 3/4/1959 ( my birth date UK ) to 5/21/1969 ( I am Princeton University medical doctor degree graduate ) is 3731 days

JOURNAL ARCHIVE:

I had an odd dream, last night I think, that I associate with that programmed roll the space shuttle stack makes just after lift off.

In the dream, though, I had jumped off a bridge and the water was a very long ways down. I was absolutely certain I would survive the fall though and I was thinking to myself that I needed to take a large gulp of air just before I hit the surface because I was going to go far below the surface. But I was also preparing myself to pull my legs up to my chest after I went under the surface so that I would not go as far below the surface than if my body remained in a shape similar to an arrow. There was also something about someone waterskiing nearby behind a jet ski. It seemed that water skiier said something to me but I don't know how that was possible because he was so far off.










This is what happens when I go 6 hours without sleep, or words to that effect.
