unix dream

 This is one of those dreams that goes on and on and it is a really clear what the end result should be. I'm working with some people and one of them comes to me with some work that I had done previously on a script that prints out information about computers on their Network. The main computer they are interested in is named "unknown". Generally you're not going to have a computer named unknown. But anyway there's other computers on the network that they're not interested in so the script has a feature where you can ignore the other computers. Strangely enough you have to put in the names of the computers you want to ignore. So I find the script and some of my old work on the computer and I'm running it. Frankly the output is not clear in the dream. It doesn't seem like any real script that I ever worked on. But I keep working on it over and over.

 At the very end of the stream that group of us is walking towards a hill the Sun is going down to the right. The hell is covered in small plants that are casting a shadow the shadows grow longer as the sun sets. We all walk up the hill to get into the shadow of the hill at one point. We're commenting on taking a video of the shadows lengthening. We're walking but it doesn't hurt the plants. We sat down on the hill but nobody's really trying to take any pictures we just keep talking about it.

 Interpretation of the dreams: I would say that it means the end of the world is about to happen but it doesn't seem like the stream has anything to do with the end of the world. Yesterday I looked at a script that I had written several years ago that uses the HTML <p r e> tag. The pre-tag tries to leave text and formatted for the most part. But you can still include things like HTML links and apply some CSS. The point of using the pre-tag in my script is that it's kind of an undocumented feature that the Dom object can manipulate each line that's inside the pre-tag as a separate object. So if all the lines have a repeatable format you can basically use it like simple HTML without having to have a whole bunch of html text and your web page. The formatting is limited but it allows you to manipulate relatively large HTML pages in the brows are very quickly. I've never been able to get anybody interested in this feature but I've always thought it was interesting and useful. Anyway I think it has something to do with it. It's actually very useful whereas this computer network script I was working with seemed unusual even though people were interested in it. Kind of strange in real life you do something interesting and nobody cares. In the dream you do something that's not really useful but everybody wants that. Not sure what the point of that is. The dream with the sun setting means that we talk a lot and do certain things but quite often the end result is unexpected. The dream doesn't seem to have any consequences like stepping on the little plants doesn't hurt them and they almost seem like they're a hologram or something. Lately I've been going on and on about how life is a giant video game. The problem is we're the pieces in the game and we're eternal. At this point there's no way to get out of the game either go into the lake of fire or the internal Paradise. Both of these results are eternal three-dimensional video games that are completely opposite. The lake of fire is horrific and the eternal Paradise is wonderful. There is no option to quit the game. The dream with the sun going down may have something to do with that. Although it really wasn't memorable and some good or evil way, it seemed to represent the current situation we're in. How possibly we live most of our lives missing the point of the test.
