pieces of a dream

Before it fades further, the bits I remember from my dreams of two nights ago. I was trying to spray paint some graffiti - no idea where - that had a black outline and was in-filled in white. I was having a tough time and too much paint was running for my liking. In short, I was making a right mess of it. Sometime after that I was walking down some narrow stone-or-concrete steps that led to an underground passage-or-tunnel that has bare walls. The steps had no guard rail and were quite steep, the place I was walking down to quite dark.

In the tunnel, as I moved along, I found several shops, or at least shop type things, each of which was selling hard-rock-tattoo-piercing-and-similar wares. I walked past. Then, with no continuity, I was on a grassy hill with several other people who I cannot identify. I was very excited to have seen, in the air, an "invisible" aircraft. It was, of course, visible while in the air and that was how I managed to see it. But, as I explained o the people with me on the hill, it would become invisible when it used it's camera-things.

As it was my dream I was able to explain it perfectly to the people I was with and they, of course, understood. Now I have to try and explain it here. Somewhat trickier. The British military (and maybe others) have a technology that basically puts little screens and cameras all along the sides of their vehicles. The idea is that the cameras pointing, say, west will display on the eastern side of the vehicle what can be seen if you look west. Therefore, if you look at the vehicle from it's east you see the screens that are playing what you would see if the vehicle was not there. So it is kind of invisible. Well, not really...this explains it better...

I've forgotten the rest...

Addendum...there were no cars in the dream tunnel. There were cars in the pictured tunnel that I found at lunch time on Friday while looking for graffiti. So, no surprise a couple of those elements made a comeback when I slept...
