Title: Two boys playing with an old software game file Post by hope on Sep 19th, 2008 at 1:11pm
(Dreams are so fascinating. I had this one two weeks when I was going through a rough time and it actually helped me get beyond what I was going through-very strange psychic stuff).
In the dream, I woke up to find myself laying on my back in the middle of my lawn and realized I had all these tarantulas placed around my head. I wanted to move but couldn't otherwise I would hurt these spiders but I stood up carefully. When I stood up, I realized the spiders were placed there by two young boys who liked to tease me. One lived in my yard (whom I knew in the dream, not in real life), he was twelve years old. The other boy (eleven) lived next door. I was there to see they had obtained a single, very old game file on a old floppy disk and they were using this one file of an old computer game to tease me. I was a little annoyed at being stuck and realized I had taught myself old computer programming languages so I might do what I was about to do---I retrieved the floppy from the 12 year old boy and opened it. I looked inside the file and found my name had been listed. I removed it. I looked further and was surprised to find a list of my friends names. I removed their names also. Then I saved the file and returned the floppy to the young boy. The boy (and his neighbor friend) was okay with this but he was kind of upset that I wasn't playing and eager that I, at least, play the game one more time. He was very excited that I see it. I didn't want to hurt his feelings so I agreed. He explained to me the game was a "first person shooter" and that each challange got more difficult as you progressed and the last was when you met some big monster that you had to beat (similar to the video shooter games kids play now). I started to play the game but realized most of my attention was elsewhere. Immediately, I recognized that this was a very old game and what these two boys did, before each running of the program, is go into the file code and either mix up the letters of a sentence or mix up the letters of a word such that you couldn't readily read it. They would then save the file and have others play it. The objective, on my part, (as I was playing it with divided attention) was to quickly figure out what sentence or words of the code were manipulated. I saw this had been done many, many times before and I had seen this many times before. The two boys, I noticed, wanted the game to be unbeatable but at the same time, they wanted someone to beat the game (interesting conflict to notice). When I saw they were manipulating the code, I stopped playing and went to my husband who was standing very far away. I asked my husband "Do you see what these two boys are doing?" He said, "Yes. I've been watching them." At hearing this conversation, the two boys noticed and looked over at us. I pointed to the boys and told them I wanted to introduce my husband to them. I told them that my husband was "one of the founders" and was there "before there was a company or software companies." I explained that there are many, many systems and all the systems are finely integrated and have gone way beyond the antiquated single file they keep playing with. I told them when they get tired of playing with that single game file and want to learn "a finer knowledge," they can talk with my husband. As I was waking up, someone asked about money. Quickly I saw how irrelevant and bizarre the question was. I was shown all knowledge was equivalent to grains of sand on a beach and there were many beaches in many places, endless sand. The topic "money" was so out of date and so irrelevant that the knowledge of money doesn't even take up even a single grain of sand of all the knowledge that is. Someone told me the topic basically doesn't even warrant much of a footnote in a single book, that things have moved eons beyond. Whoever told me this, thought the question was hilarious. :) |
