A weird dream… aspiring to an iBook?

24 Oct 2005

I had a dream last night where my house had a kinda different layout (but the contents were the same…, and all the computers were downstairs and the front opened up some more/had really cool glass doors. There were a few people around so I left the house with someone and went for a drive [in a 4WD, go figure… was most odd], not bothering to lock the doors because I figured other people were around and were going to stay there. I don’t actually remember who any of these people were, but meh :P

Anyway, we get back about half an hour later and there’s no-one there anymore, and someone has stolen two LCD screens (but left all the old ones — I felt bad because I hadn’t packed away the 19″ and 17″ boxes, so that made it quicker/easier for them to take stuff), as well as my computer (but no others… there’s probably no rational reason for this, aside from that it was my dream. Possibly because a few days back I’d been asked what one thing I would take out of my house if it was burning down, and I said my computer because it’s got a few years worth of photos, work, and music on it — and not all of those things are completely backed up offsite.)

In actual fact, I didn’t particularly care. Insurance would pay for the screens, and having to get a new computer meant not only that I didn’t have to worry about the inevitable bloat of my home directory (and my Desktop is a living example of chaos theory — I’ll clean it up, only to find it absolutely full three days later), but also that I could get an iBook instead! Yay!

Of course, none of this actually happened. But I was pleased to realise how little I’d actually care! And, for a few short moments, I was convinced I was going to get an iBook. Then I woke up.
