Back when I had time to sleep . .

Post #51,116 by Andrew Grygus 9/9/02 12:48:58 PM Reply	Back when I had time to sleep . . . . I had a great many vivid dreams, many of which I recorded in detail. A favorite, though was a very early one from high school age. I was building a short wave receiver. Remember, this was the days of vacuum tubes and winding your own coils. Owning a chassis punch for tube sockets was nearly impossible because Greenlee wanted so much money for them (finally relieved when Calrad started importing cheap punch sets from Japan). Anyway, the radio wasn't working and I was having a very hard time finding the problem, and worked on it until after 2:00am. Finally gave up and went to sleep. In my sleep, I dreamed about taking the thing apart and finally locating a bad ground that was causing the problem, then putting it all back together again, and having it work. Then I woke up, and went through the whole process again, dissassembly, correcting the problem, putting it back together. Then I really woke up, and found myself facing the whole arduous process for a third time. By this time I was so damned tired of it I left it for another day. As you might expect, when I got back to it, the dream fix didn't actually work that well anyway. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

There was an animated short about some guy who kept waking up, starting to go about his daily routine, and then would realize that he was in a nightmare, start screaming, and then "wake up" all over again, each time progressing slightly further in his day before the screaming started. The last sequence (where he actually is awake) has him standing outside his building, screaming his lungs off because he can't see a single person. (Of course, that's because they were all hiding behind the other buildings nearby, specifically from him.) End of world rescheduled for day after tomorrow. Something should probably be done. Please advise.

We have these festivals of animation that come 'round every year - haven't been to one in a while. End of world rescheduled for day after tomorrow. Something should probably be done. Please advise.

And no folks, I don't remember the title either. End of world rescheduled for day after tomorrow. Something should probably be done. Please advise.
