See intro in my prior post. Forwarding.
What I left unsaid below, is I, like Dracula,
went immediately to the bosom of one dancer:

This dream of mine in June 2002 also had a glass building.
I wrote this to my bosses June 14, 2002.
The dream definitely was not about work;
That project was technically unfeasable.
I had a dream, predictive of ... success in ... ... task.
Oftentimes my dreams reflect a day's or other future events.
I know you would not forecast profits according to prophets,
but I thought it might be worth a moment to share the dream
I had this morning, and how it correlates to our phone call.
I and another male were driver and passenger or vice versa in
an automobile, and we came to an intersection where we wanted
to make a right turn. We had to stop, for in the crosswalk on
our right side parallel to our old path there were two dancers
performing a formal but zesty tango. The male faced opposite
to our car's direction and the female faced in our direction.
Beyond that crosswalk, a semi truck had stopped for them too.
After some footwork, the male with his partner on his right arm,
and with some other female on his left arm, proceeded gaily and
quickly across the street, that is, in our old travel direction.
And then we turned right and proceeded...
We came to a large all-glass building, artistically architected,
in which a quite elegant ball was taking place. An eye-catching
chandelier overhead dominated the scene, as if it were all made
of blue gems instead of crystal. Scanning through the all-glass
walls I picked out some attractive young ladies in great gowns,
that is, floor-length garments with broad puffed-out perimeters.
We entered by a flight of steps outside the glass building, and
I recall a doorman atop the flight, but the steps did not have
the wonderful quality of the glass building. Inside, the spirit
of the ball participants was relaxed and happy, and we mingled.

So, whether prophetic, a syncronicity as per Jung, or merely due
to psychological projection, the dream seemed to correlate with
our conference phone call today (... and ... to ... employees).
The dancers must represent ...'s efforts to woo ....
We want to make a "right" turn, and the happy dancers indicate
that negotiations were facilitated. (Why two girls?) The truck
represented future shipment of ... product. The ballroom was
..., a larger company, thus having more formal business ways.
Now the chandelier reminds me of an immense cluster of grapes,
radiant and splendid, shedding light and comfort, hence wealth
for ..., so it must have to do with ....
We took the steps, passed the doorman, and fit in the ballroom.
I wish I could paint for you my full dream in vivid Kodachrome,
but the upshot is, I foresee good things in this ... ... task.
Yours truly,
Glenn Scheper
