My dream involved figeting with a tall clear crinkle glass (glass that had a rough texture) LINK

I remember using clear crinkle glasses (brand unknown) - hence personal experiences applied in this dream:

I was figeting with a tall clear crinkle glass (glass that had a rough texture) - and realizing that the glass had softened to become maleable at a very warm (not too hot to the touch) as very warm water filled this glass. The glass turned-out to be soft, and free of sharp-edges. I also noted that the softened glass sometimes came apart in pea-sized balls.

This may have been an accidental creation - that is as I pulled-off the soft glass, and watched this tall drinking-glass shrinking-down in size, I was creating what looked like a four-inch wide, by one-inch tall thickend glass candy tray.

As the glass cooled to room temperature, my candy-tray solidified - as I was viewing the last of a rough-edge (not sharp) bottom of the original drinking glass.

After waking-up from this dream, I immediatly imaginged the numerous practical, and fun applications for this unique glass. My first example were environmentally friendly water bottles. Other applications were new materials of interest for artists' creations.

The challenges of purchasing stock by the pound, and selling by the unit might just have been the theme to this dream.

The item purchased by the pound for processing into units, to be sold by the unit, was a long tube of hay-roll used for erosion and flood control. Creating these units from a roll of hay is one challenge.

Recently, I had effectively used a tube a few feet in length of hay for erosion control for runoff resulting from the Winter rains.

The long tubes of hay for erosion control in my dream were several times in length, at least twice as thick, and of course far heavier (two people required to carry this long tube of hay) than the tubes of hay I recently applied for flood control.

The dream begins where I am one of two people carrying this tube of hay through a familiar locale, and up a slight hill to a location designed to process this tube into individual units for resale. At first glance, the process of creating the invidual units of hay for resale appeared as applying a mechanical knife (without cuttting guides, templates, etc. ) to cut the hay into six to twelve inch thick slices.

The challenge quickly appeard more complex at second glance - that is to yield evenly sliced hay that does not "fall apart" after slicing requires both precison manufacturing, and manufacturing processes to yield slices of hay that remain intact, and remain as a sturdy products intended for many uses.

The long tubes of hay contain wire to contain the hay in tube form. Individually sliced hay must also have some sort of wire (or covering) quickly applied in order to prevent the slices from "falling apart."

This dream might have gone along the theme of repurposing, upcycling scrap materials. Processing tubes of hay-rolls is one of the more challeging scrap materials (as scrap materials go) to handle - as again, the complex material structures too easily fall apart, and are hence dificult to keep intact, let alone being cut into equal parts.

In the end, we had a salable business venture creating sturdy products yielding net financial profits of around five times original investments inside of a year. After waking-up, I sensed that with such profits, our business can easily, and wisely purchase, and maintain a truck to transport both stock by the pound, and by many units for resale, and remain profitable.

A unique design (shaped) coffee carafe whose design (supposedly) greatly reduced the development of stale coffee.

The carafe in the dream appeared as a flat bottomed, horizonally placed, egg-like shape about two-feet in length, by one-foot in width. The pouring-spout design may heve also been unique in design to further curb the processes that allow coffee to go stale, and become lukewarm in taste.

After this dream, I read-up on miantaining coffee crafes, and found that careful cleaning, and quick turn-over (via small-sized carafes) best kept coffees fresh tasting. Egg-shaped carafes were not noted.

I sense this carafe size/design allowed for easier cleaning than traditional carafes between uses (which reduces stale, lukewarm coffee). Most of all, the novelty of an egg-shaped carafe encouraged quick turnover.

Any fun, practical, funny insights via dreams?

The novel designed coffee carafe brought a few laughs!

The dream I experienced involved a retro example of (old school) animation.

The animation was created by drawings on semi-transparent paper - the final result being animated symbols moving in opposite criscrossing patterns.

There was a an old school technique: 'Animation technique known as 'onion skinning.'
