Dreams

• Snippet: I remember something about not assigning the number 1 to a right wheel that someone was in control of assigning numbers to, and that would later be spun to produce random numbers, because there was also a left wheel that other people were also assigning numbers to, and he had learnt from that that assigning the number 1 to the wheels was pointless due to either how common it was or due to how the things it produced could also be generated from other numbers.

• I remember cooking pies in a kitchen in a scene view where the scene was divided into half down the middle, so there was a left kitchen and a right kitchen that were two separate places. Each kitchen had its own “experience” and levelled up separately.
• Later, the dream involved bringing food to separate locations that again had their own separate inventories. The food did things like increase health regen for the locations (or perhaps the people there). One of the locations was a train that we had already completed the level for, and that Kel and I were using for travelling around to the other locations, but a girl cooked a dish for that train to be safe anyway.

• The vice-principal of Dunman High, who in my dream was called Mr Goh, called me to his office on the second floor of the school, next to the principal’s office, who I noticed was Mr Rice from McNally. When I arrived at the office, Mr Goh awarded me a prize, and told me to go retrieve a flute from Peiying, my first primary school, which was on the other side of the country, so that he could gift that to me as an additional prize for my efforts in whatever earned me the first prize to begin with. As I left the office and passed some students on the way back down to the ground floor, I knew that I would probably be sent back here to Dunman again by the Peiying staff to get a confirmation of the request from the administration, but I didn’t feel like attending class that day anyway so I decided to just go right then and there anyway since it was a request from the school.
• At the train station, I took a small set of stairs and tunnel past a nondescript door down to the underground train platform. I overheard two girls say that the floor or stairs might be broken, just before I opened the door leading downwards, but I trod carefully down the stairs and didn’t see any cracks in the floor, and reached the platform without incident just as a train pulled up. I wasn’t sure if this was the right train, but I jumped on it anyway before figuring out that this train was headed in the wrong direction, eastwards towards Tanjong Pagar.
• But that was no matter, as I got off at the next stop and headed to the bus station there instead. I had also met Allen either on the train or at the bus terminal itself, who was here to visit the country since he lived elsewhere now. I invited him along so I could show him my old primary school, and he agreed, so we hopped on a bus 152 together, which I was sure would take us to the school directly.
• After a while, the terrain looked really familiar so I tapped him in a slight panic, thinking we were about to overshoot our stop, and we alighted from the bus together. However, upon looking at Google Maps on my phone, I saw that we were still about 10 stops away from our designated stop. It told us that the same bus number, bus 152, was the only one that would take us to that school, but that not every bus actually went there.
• Another instance of bus 152 was coming anyway, behind a school bus which white-clad students from a nearby school were piling onto. I boarded the 152 and showed the bus driver my destination on the phone, before asking him if the bus went there. He said no, and explained to me that the bus’s last stop was on the west end of a long road that Peiying was on the eastern end of, and the first stop of the bus’s return journey was a little bit east of that last stop but still at least 6 or 7 streets away from Peiying.
• I noted with slight alarm that the bus was still driving onwards even while his eyes and attention were completely fixated on the conversation with me, but he seemed skilled enough to avoid an accident either way. There was no other choice anyway so I said that that would be close enough and we would just walk the rest of the way.

• I was at a hawker center with two other people, but most of the stalls were either closed or were not selling any food that I was interested in. The hawker center did not have a lot of sitting room, maybe only about 30 or so tables across two levels compared to about 40 or 50 stalls, and about half the tables were occupied anyway despite there being a lack of food, especially noodles, being sold. We did find a vegetable samosa stall but it wasn’t manned, and we weren’t sure if we could just take the samosas that were laid out on a pan and leave 50 cents per samosa behind.
• Snippet: There was also a plotline about people picking structures to build from a selection of two options at a time that was shown to people. Different people had different options available, and certain people were very slow at building, I remember a small fruit garden that looked like a squarish garden plot in particular that the slowest person had chosen to build.

• Snippet: All I remember is part of a dream that involved building large rainbow stars, about as big as the size of a person’s head.

• The dream I remember seemed to be divided into two portions, one with scenes in an apartment block and one with scenes in a water zone that I could access from the apartment, as though it were a game that I moved into and out of at will.
• For the apartment portion, I was entering the apartment block at one point and there were a couple people trying to tailgate in behind me, I wasn’t sure if they were residents of the block or not so I requested that they let the door close before opening it themselves. They did so though, which proved that they were legit, and we shared an elevator ride up afterwards.
• I remember Mom giving me two types of buns that looked like pancakes folded in half, that Kel had apparently brought back from her latest trip. One was a chilli bun that I really liked and when I saw Kel sitting at the dining table and eating some of the buns with Mom later on, I told her that those were really nice.
• I also bought, and set up in my bedroom, a white box that opened up into a beautiful display of a Chinese poem, where every kanji character in the poem was inscribed onto a small, round, and thick disc, similar to a Chinese Chess piece. When opened, the white box had notches on the inside cover where the character pieces could be slotted into, so once the pieces were assembled in their right slots, one could see the entire poem at once, with the top rows slightly raised for an embossing effect. I realized that they way this was made, it also meant that the characters could be swapped around to change the message of the poem.
• The part of the dream in the water zone seemed to be an adventure game, with ships and submarines around. There was a training ship I remember where people could learn how to use ship shoes and brooms to do battle with, and there were large 10-turn buffs that were physical objects that ships could carry around, as well as small 1-turn buffs that players could sketch out in order to summon them. I even met a guild leader at one point who was drawing one of the large versions of the buffs and told me to come back again in a week when he would be done.
• Upon travelling around, I also saw several small ships, perhaps more like rafts, that were being driven around by real estate agents and contained 12 passengers per ship, arranged in a 6 by 2 rectangle, being paddled around to potential places for sale.
• I also remember learning that the Chinese poem set was made by a Japanese company, according to the rolled up instruction sheet that came with the white box, but somehow later on that instruction sheet had been lost in the water zone underneath a sunken ship at the bottom of the water. I dived down to get it, and made my way below the wreckage even though I knew I had not enough air to get there and back. I did have enough air to get to the rolled up sheet though, and picked that up, before using a buff to either teleport myself out of the water or out of the game entirely.

• I was at a lunch or dinner hosted by Elon Musk, where he was giving a presentation in a computer lab while a few dozen of us were eating at tables in there. Tigey had been borrowed for some demonstration and was thus sitting atop a different table, but at one point he fell off backwards off the table, which caused a commotion in the room. However, a girl in the table behind where Tigey was located managed to catch Tigey in his falling motion on her phone camera, and this also caused some applause.
• I wanted to talk to her to get a copy of the picture, but I had to leave the room for another issue soon after and could not even retrieve Tigey. When I freed up later, I came back to the computer lab and saw Tigey seated on the table next to a postcard, and the girl was also there with a friend. I approached her to ask for the picture, and she obliged and said that the organizers had used computer footage to figure out who Tigey belonged to and had left him here for me to come pick him up.
• Snippet: In another part of the dream, we were in our Edmonton 4012 home and had to close two or three garage doors that led into our main garage due to some natural disaster that was imminent. Our garage was huge and partially jutted out onto a road that some other people used, so we had left it open as long as possible so people wouldn’t have to detour around it, but nightfall was coming and we had to close it eventually, so I went out to do that.
• Snippet: Later on, our family van didn’t work for driving me to school and Mom said we’d arrange for a car or taxi or something to take me there instead, but this never materialized. I knew that someone else on our way to school also usually carpooled with us too, and I wondered if my parents had told them that we wouldn’t be there today or if they would be unable to get to school too.
• Snippet: Sometime before all these, there was a dream about being on a ship and buying bananas in Backpack Battles, while also trying to build or assemble an armour set. The armour set had a special set bonus that I wanted and I could decide on when to activate it after I bought it. However, there was also something about not being able to use the porthole window in the cabin I was in if I spent too much money on buying my items.
