  • A Potentially Awkward Gender Reveal Dream

    In this one, I had a doctor appointment. The doctor was a pretty female doctor, who for some reason, thought I was a guy and kept flirting with me. O.o (Which also weirded me out, because while I know there are people whose genders tend to be ambiguous, I thought it was pretty obvious I was a girl.)

    Just before the exam, I needed to take a shower, according to office policy,  since I haven’t taken one in a few days. The doctor, still thinking I was a he led me to the men’s showers. It was a building on someone’s lawn, and the pastor from our church was giving a sermon across the street. I looked around and saw several rolls of towels on a metal rack and took one. Then I remembered that I was in the wrong shower and left.

    The female shower area was much more well-furnished, purple, orange and green walls and matching armchairs. The towels (also in rolls) were on this shiny, wooden table. In the actual shower, I noticed that the building was a lot smaller than I remembered (only about…two feet tall). It was also inflatable, as opposed to being made of concrete–so inflated that the walls took up most of the interior. Tired of being squished in there, I tried to use dream magic to either make me think the building was larger or that I was a lot smaller. It worked for a little while after a few minutes, then slowly started to shrink again.

    I became fed up and busted  through the roof and yelled about how it felt like being in a dollhouse in here (with extra hamminess for effect). Then I grabbed one of the shower items, turned and left. Then had to turn around when I remembered I left my stuff in front of the building.

    The end.

  • ThinkMac

    I think it would be cool to install Mac OS X on a ThinkPad*, so you could have a mobile Hackintosh! This, combined with the prospect of Hackintoshes and Linux going mainstream (not that it’s ever been announced yet, that I know of…), will force people to disassociate the operating system from the hardware.

    *Why a ThinkPad? Macs tend to be seen as sleek, minimal gray/white computers with rounded corners (except for the Blackbooks, which are…black), while ThinkPads are normally black, boxy and rectangular (except for the Edge series, which are slim and rounded). In other words, it would be funny. >:D

    Video gamer: “This game runs on PC!”
    Linux user: “…It does not run on my PC.”
    Video gamer: “>.> It runs on Windows.”

    (Not to mention when Steam made its debut on Mac OS X, tons of people were talking about “Mac n00bs” on Steam, when in fact, a lot of the Mac users had been using Steam and playing games like Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2 for a while now, running it on a Windows partition installed on their Macs.)

    (Also, I think you could install some Linux distros like Ubuntu on a Mac.)

  • Dream: Mission: Shower

    Jeidai, me, my family and Jeidai’s family were on a bus, visiting relatives in Sacremento, when I realized I needed to take a shower. Luckily! There was a shower in the back! 😀

    Ummm…turns out…the back didn’t offer a lot of privacy (there were windows everywhere). And when we reached a bus stop, people got into the back area, where I wanted to shower. o.o So much for that plan.

    I knew I had to get back to everyone else before we end up getting separated, because I knew if I did, I would end up at an alternate version of the school after it was taken over by Disneyland and abandoned! :O

    (Luckily I managed join up with everyone. The end. :D)

  • Dream: Man if Only This Space Phenomenon Happened in Real Life

    Every time I read or hear the phrase “once in a blue moon”, I’m reminded of my dream (it was a pretty cool dream too :D). Will telling it make it stop? Dunno. But here it goes. o.o

    I was in my mom and dad’s room upstairs one evening when my dad read on a site about a rare space phenomenon taking place. I looked out the window into the sky and immediately saw what it was.

    Something had made the sky so incredibly clear that you could not only see the moon up close, but Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. And other galaxies in the background. And the cosmos in general (which looked more purple than black).

    I stared at it for a really long time, soaking up this magnificent, epic moment. Then I saw the earth up close in detail (I think it was somehow being reflected off of the moon). It was so close I could see the mountains! I could see South Africa labeled! 8D It looked more like those old maps from the 1400s or 1500s. It was so close it looked like one of those huge maps social studies teachers have hanging in their classrooms in front of the chalkboard.

    Then I woke up. :C
