chick dream with Christmas play

 I'm working someplace where there are three women who are in their late 20s or maybe early 30s and they don't realize I'm 65 years old. Somehow, it's a dream remember. So there's one chick's trying to get more and more forward and she's getting the wrong idea. So this other chick is sort of coming on too but trying to keep it you know low-key. So I looked across the table at her and I say do you know how old I am? She says no and looks somewhat confused. So I tell her and then she sort of looks awkward and as strange as it sounds she actually looks older. Then there's another part of the dream where we're working outside at a gas station and we all have to park our cars away from the building and so a lot of stream is me trying to figure out where Park. That's kind of weird because it's muddy and I keep driving around looking for some place that is not with the other cars but isn't where I'll get in trouble for parking up close to the building. Finally it's snowing and icy and I park somewhere close to an icy area but the pavement is clean somehow and it's in an okay area for me to park all very strange. And I get out and I say to another young woman hey look at this and I can lift up sheets of ice and sort of pick them up and down and they don't just break apart. She doesn't seem impressed. Very young woman, 30ish, sort of sprinkled throughout these dreams and they seem attracted to me but like at a distance. one chick does kiss me at one point but I sort of have to like try to act like I'm a grandfather you know what I mean it's kind of weird.

Then in the second major part of this dream I'm in this Christmas play. It's a fairly major production there are over 100 people involved. This is one of those dreams where I can't get into the right costume. So I'm constantly looking for a shirt. For most of the dream I have a shirt on but I still need to find another shirt. Those kids running all over the place but they're not getting into trouble. Then at one point I have to climb down those long series of stairs that are very steep and carpeted, but I do get to the bottom without falling or doing anything crazy interestingly once I get to the bottom of that I find out I can fly. So it's kind of a different flying dream maybe it's due to my age maybe this all has to do to my age or something. I can fly but no one really seems to notice or it doesn't seem unusual. And I fly up a ramp and then I fly into an area that's part of the set that's too small for me to get through. So I have to backtrack and do finally squeeze through this one area.

That is kind of the end of the dream very anticlimactic and just like inconclusive I don't know.

This is a personal observation about this speech to text. It seems like it has really improved here in the last couple of months. Sometimes it still does kind of garble things up but man just a few months ago if I talked like this it would be completely unintelligible. Somehow this does have to talk back to the mothership somewhere at the speech server back in California or something because if I'm not connected to the internet this doesn't work at all so it's doing a lot of incredible processing to keep up with me just talking at a normal pace.

This also sounds strange but this whole thing may have to do with the way people act when they found out I was a computer programmer. This is kind of a strange deal but think about it there have never been people retiring from computer programming before in the entire history of History. Or like a new crop of old people. The thing that's weird about us is we are still technical we're not like old ignorant people that don't understand how to turn a TV on or something we know how to program this stuff. AI doesn't seem scary to us, we look at technology is just another thing that people do. And so young people don't know how to respond to that because usually young people are the ones that know all about the tech stuff and the old people are the people that are afraid of their phones. But we programmed this stuff we're not afraid of it we know how it works and we know why it doesn't work. That makes us odd that makes us out of place we're like old people that really shouldn't be old. I'm trying to think it confuses people and makes me sad.

Old people have always been old and probably just sort of in the way, we talk about old people being wise but nobody really seems to look at old people that way now that I am old. Of course when you're old you probably feel self conscious.
