I think it could be both. Perhaps she is talking about our different approaches or "plans" for trying to figure out what is going on.

One window shows the table-plan.
One window shows the dream-plan.
etc.

Whatever it is, someone is at the windows 'watching' us, waiting to strike. So when is that going to happen?

About Green-wood it does have lakes.


Is there a lake mentioned? There's so many posts it's hard to keep track. I tried creating a list of what we are looking for in the Angel/Cemetery from the Craigslist posts jegger listed.

The Cemetery
- other statues scattered around
- abandoned or empty
- pathway to the angel, possibly just worn grass
- view of a tower which draws crowds
- spectacular view
- vines enveloping headstones

Possibly nearby or inside the Cemetery
- old church
- house with gothic architecture (weird, since this is usually for churches) near the edge of a wood
- iron gate

The Angel
- moon halo (the real moon or a circular decoration around her head)
- weathered features or faceless, pocked face
- broken finger (probably the index)
- uplifted arm reaching for the sky
- stone base


I'm still not clear if this cemetery she's mentioning is just empty at the time she's there or abandoned and unkept, like a forgotten cemetery. Greenwood is the exact opposite. Also not sure how close the church and house/gate is to the Angel.

I also think Rose may be right in her pages=hidden webpages theory. We really should be posting all this at SO as well. It's just can be a pain to post twice. Wink

How do you fill a table with cats? I mean can a table be filled? A table can also be an index. I liked Rose's spec that the pages being referred to might be hidden pages either on the SO site or maybe on B.A.'s site.


As for filling the table with cats that actually a direct reference to my own dream that I've been having if you read that table that we created on the Wiki for dreams we've called her up about... the girl I mentioned is on a table surrounded by cats that are staring at her desirously... that'd be my logical thought on the reference there... she'd definitely incorporating what we tell her in some capacity or another even if it's just to tell us that we're on the wrong track... My guess about the windows is that each window is showing parts of another person's dream that has been submitted or referenced at some point or another to BA... perhaps all of these windows are supposed to tell us something... but what?

 		CL Pages Expired
Some of the earliest CL posts have expired and are no longer viewable in CL. I hope we got them all down somewhere without linking back to the original!!

 		Something special about Harrisonburg? It's been in the last 4 lists and 5 out of the entire 8. I know we're seeing some cities more than once, but this is odd imo.

 		I'm wondering whether the posts about the girl reading and the library may be related to the red circled words:

Today:
Quote:
People trample each other hoping to get one. Covers are torn off, pages fly in the air.
My mind races back to the little girl sitting alone on the steps and lost between pages.


So we are certainly "lost between pages" on this puzzle.

So, going back to Apr. 25:
Quote:
Sitting on the library steps, her nose in a book. We all have our ways of escaping madness. This must be hers. I watch for a few minutes. She blinks and turns the page.


Could the original clue had been to 'turn the page' somehow? Does that mean to use the backside of the red-circled pages? But we've tried that, right? What else could we do to 'turn the page'?

Last two? New York is a direct response to picking up the package. Sound like we're going to have to call in more dreams.

All this destruction. Should we push her in a more positive direction? Or carefully word our dreams to get some clearer answers.

Is there anyway that we can look at the next pages in each of those books to "turn the page?"... that's a small possibility that might give us a few clues perhaps depending on what that reveals particularly if we look at them in the context of the circled words on the other pages... although turning the page could also be a reference to moving on to the next piece of the puzzle... it's hard to say...

The city rises to meet the sky, the mighty steel and glass buildings sparkle as the sunlight bounces between them. The crystal lake invites families, friends, and lovers to come out and play, to frolic in its waters. A gentle breeze dances across the lush landscape and sings as it echoes through the mountain passes. The rhythmic hum of the city joins in the song, a symphony of the vivacious spirit celebrating life.

Quote:
The city lies in ruin before me , the remaining corpses of once magnificent buildings haunted by the fragmented souls dwelling in the darkest of corners. The earth cracks as it strains to swallow the last few drops of murky water left in the lake. The wind howls across the barren wasteland and cries as it passes through the jagged mountains. Monstrous roars rule the land, feeding off the tormented cries of those that dare to live.



So a city with a lake between Boise and Reno?

Nice!
According to a map, Winnemucca is in between the two... but I don't think it quite fits the description. I suppose Salt Lake City is too far out of the way.

 		Actually, I was thinking Salt Lake City. I have never been there - or anywhere near there... my personal geographical history is woefully inadequate. Embarassed

Don't we already have "the next page?" Those who got packages got pages. Page 125, turn the page and you have 126 and so on.
