The peanuts meme unfolded early, and MTB scores another hit.

Before we get started, remember that the peanuts meme came in just like the Grand Canyon. It was two dreams put into the database back to back from two different dreamers who have never met.

Again, Elyse is part of this particular meme (we’ve already seen her name in many places associated with Project August, and we’ll most likely see much more in the coming weeks). In her dream, Elyse was carrying a sack full of peanuts, but the details do not seem as relevant as does MTB’s dream sequence entitled “Perfect roasted peanuts must have 30”:

This dream was on the night of June 12th. I was on a green mountain/hill top. I was endeavoring to make perfect healthy roasted peanuts with some sort of flavoring. I had a wok, which was hot. I had put coconut oil into the wok, and it was at the proper temperature. I had a lot of peanuts, which I kept opening. I kept getting halves or poorly formed peanuts; for some reason I had to have exactly 30 good peanuts. The number 30 is what resounded, I don’t know why or what the significance was. I had just gotten the 30th peanut; I was woken up at that time by my cat, I don’t know what additional elements I was going to put in to roast the peanuts. My nightly intention includes that I will wake up to remember my significant dreams when the dream is finished, I’m not sure how the cat clued in that the significance of the dream was the number 30 and that nothing beyond that mattered so he had to wake me up.

Correlation with reality

We interpreted the number 30 to show up as a date, which might happen in August. However, it seems that on July 7^th the combination of “peanuts” and “30” had several hits in the news. Check this out:

COLUMBIA, SC (WMBF) The facility is a $6 million investment and is expected to create 30 new jobs. “We are proud and excited about building South Carolina’s first commercial peanut shelling plant. As the peanut industry has grown in the state, we saw a need and opportunity for more peanut infrastructure. Not only will we provide jobs for local citizens, but also an alternative market for South Carolina farmers,” says Gill Rogers, co-owner of Rogers Brothers Farm.

3. New $6 million peanut facility to bring 30 new jobs to Darlington

The $6 million investment is expected to generate 30 new jobs, according to a news release….

Discussion

Number 2 and 3 above are actually the same news from different sources. This is important for timing purposes, because that news should actually be tagged with July 2^nd even though the follow-up piece was on the same day as the World Cup news.

Regardless, I do find it amazing that the number 30 finds its way into two very distinct news articles on the same day…7 July.

The bad news is that if these articles hold up as the connection to our Project August work, then this poses very bad news to the DreamForecaster. MTB’s dream was extremely accurate with respect to the connecting the number 30 to the word peanuts.

However, the dream interpretation was lacking. In fact, instead of going for direct dream material, I chose to use the dream material to investigate non-dreaming symbols, which is directly where this connection went awry. Lemme explain…

The word peanuts was converted to a metaphoric description of the comic strip, Peanuts. Then, the number 30 was assumed to be the last Peanuts article on the 30^th of May, which gave us a phrase from Charlie of “I’m finished.” This phrase was non-dream material, but it was used to develop all the possible headlines.

Therefore, unless something more significant shows up on August 30^th along the lines I outlined in report #4, then we have our first lesson for DreamForecasting:

Keep the dream prediction no more than one layer away from the dream material. The decision to go with a Peanuts article took me two degrees of separation from the actual dream material (30 took me to a Peanuts article, where I got my headline description of “I’m finished,” or something ending, like a Peanuts business). In general, the more degrees away from the dream, the more possible errors in the prediction.

The Score

There are two DreamSeer scores associated with this dream combo. Again, we’ll have to wait until August 30^th to verify the low score for my interpretation, but as of now, it’s about ZERO.

However, the dream itself is much higher…I’ll start with a 3.2, with the question of whether multiple associated headlines increases or decreases the DreamSeer score. I’ll argue that two relevant events increased this score because both headlines were directly associated.

Lastly, pay attention to the actual content of the World Cup headline. It had to do with a 30 percent increase in business sales. The topic of business sales is directly related to my forecasted headlines, but unfortunately I was 80 degrees from the direction of that prediction (and that was due to using the non-dream material).
