Dream Log: June 12, 2004

I was going to do a dreamlog today, but then I realized that my dream sounded as if it had been made up by an idiot.

These three people came to my house in the evening. For some reason all the lights were off so it was dark and black and white and grainy. There were two Palestinian brothers, and this random chick.

The younger of the brothers had this big box filled with straw and different types of eggs. They were warm. At least one of them was obviously an avocado. It was like the brother was a kleptomaniac with an egg fixation, or something.

Then time passed, and it got darker. The older brother vanished somewhere. Did I mention that I had no shirt? [there was no shirt|I didn't]. Then it turned out that one of the eggs had hatched into a baby snake, which had escaped.

Even in the dream I thought that that was pretty lame. So me and the brother and the random chick were looking for this snake, with torches because the lights were still off. But we couldn't find the little snake.

Instead, we kept finding big kittens holding torches. Every time we'd say "Look, there it is!", then look closer and find it was another cat holding a torch.

I was at Free Geek, and ideath was overseeing the console of the main server. It started to beep and hum, and little graphs on it started to spike.

"Oh" ideath said "someone is trying to break in...but it is only so-and-so, and she is allowed to try". ideath calmly watched the screen until the woman had actually broken in, at which time she started frenetically pushing buttons, making little windows on the console jump and hum.

Eventually the woman did get inside, and ideath handed me the console, and told me to create a scary looking ploygon avatar to chase the woman off the system. I succeeded, but perhaps too well, as she explained to me that that woman was probably going to promptly go and call Alcoholics Anonymous.

This dream impressed on me one key fact: it would be realyl awesome if computer security really looked like it did in movies, with two people fighting in real time through extremely illustrative whirring and buzzing on the computer screen.
