I had a weird experience a week ago last Saturday - don't know what I was
dreaming about, but I woke up convinced I had forgotten to check and see
what time I needed to be up for a meeting, took me a couple of mins to
realise that it was Saturday.
I don't often forget what day of the week it is. Well, that's not
strictly true, often I forget while I'm working what the day/date is, but
to forget that it's a weekend.....I think that means I need a
vacation. :-)

I always knew I was playing too much FPS games when my dreams had
crosshairs. I always knew I was playing too much Thief when all the shadows
during the evening walk were preternaturally jumping out at my attention.

Yes, me too. Just yesterday I dreamt I simply had forgotten to attend math
classes for a couple of weeks and would have to repeat the whole year. :((
Scary.
Athough it has been almost two decades since I visited school.

Those are mostly cool, like once I dreamt I had rented a very big and cheap flat
that even had a cool ancient style swimming pool in the basement, like a roman
bath, or something. And sometimes those flats have so many rooms you couldn't
believe it and patios, verandas and things like that.

Have you ever gotten up for work, showered, gotten dressed, and went out
to wait for the bus only to realize that it's 3:30 in the morning, and
you could go back to sleep for 3 more hours?

I have no idea what you're talking about.
I also have no clue what "firefly" is all about - so the last half dozen
strips made no sense at all.

It's more that, loosely speaking, encryption is a way of protecting
things from harm, and auditors are people who want to harm me. Thus,
following that pretty vague logic, this suggestion kind-of makes sense.
Almost all of my dreams involve me being persecuted in some way or
other. So thinking about protection while I'm half asleep makes sense.

Hmm. Maybe it's because I never ever missed one single class during my
entire time at college and university? Even the pointless ones. It never
really occurred to me that it was *possible* to miss classes; I guess I
thought I'd get detention or something. I don't know. It never really
crossed my mind. I've always been such a *good* little boy. Very
obedient. That's what comes from having very strict parents...
Plus, most of the actual exams I had to sit, I walked them. I know that
sounds horribly arrogant, and some of the exams I didn't do very well.
But mostly I was one of the first people to leave. (And then you stand
there looking at all these people frantically working away and think
"crap, what have I forgotten to do?")

When I get up in the morning for work, it's dark outside. One day, I
woke up to see a bit of daylight, realized I was late, got a shower, got
dressed, and then walked out the door to darkness. WTF?!? I had fallen
asleep in the afternoon and had woken up just before dark, thinking it
was morning. GRRR!!!

Funky. I always assumed it stemmed from the time I signed up for a class in
college, went to it, and at the end of the semester got an incomplete for
some other unrelated class. Apparently I'd put down the wrong code number
when I signed up, attended AI class, and was actually signed up for ice
hockey or some such nonsense. Fortunately, it was trivial to straighten out.

Cool. I thought I was the only one that had those dreams. Now I'll have to
see if I can remember my other recurring themes and see how common it is.
I *have* had relatives who had secret passages in their houses. They were
more "two entrances to the same attic" kind of secret passages then really
"secret", but it impressed me at my young age. :-)

BTDT. Usually on the computer classes, tho.
I once sat a 45 minute test, finished in about 10 minutes. Went back and did
it all again to check my work. Another 10 minutes. Turned the paper over and
wrote (in a long spiral) the details of a dream I'd had, starting with "Did
you know if you go to sleep in your dreams you ...."
Got the paper back a couple weeks later with the notation "100%. No."
I had no idea what that second word was about until I turned the paper over
and remembered having written that down. :-)

Wait, what? Auditors? Harm you? Paranoid much?

Hmm.
I've had the back in school
ohcrapIdonthavewhatIneedforthisclasscrapcrapcrap dream many times.
Better than the recurring dream of showing to your high school naked.
