I have this recurring dream where I try to show a youtube video to someone but keep misspelling the name on the search bar and got increasingly annoyed by it until I wake up with bad mood.
I was in a band during the MySpace days. We got a comment one day: “You sock.”
Was it a typo? Did they mean suck, or rock? Only one letter away from both and those letters are pretty close on the keyboard. Schrodinger’s Judgement if you will.
I still think about that comment from time to time.
I’m currently reading The Conquest of Bread and it talks about how when a revolution occurs and a government falls, the bourgeois upper and middle class will wax poetic about what will happen next, how the vacuum will get filled, etc; while the working class at the bottom will be the ones to actually carry out the work and face the brunt of the change.
This meme is how I imagine those upper class people talking lol. When I read it, I immediately pictured Jordan Peterson fanboys droning on and on about what they think should happen, while actually saying and doing nothing.
My thought has always been that it’s not that things like that can’t work in dreams, but dreams are mostly symbolic and you’re more likely to dream about using a phone or something if you have an issue with what it symbolizes. For instance, I personally often dream about trying to call or text my wife, but either the phone doesn’t work, I can’t see the screen, she can’t hear me, or something like that. My guess is that the dream is about my frustration when I can’t communicate well with my wife.
I’ve also had dreams where I was stuck or trapped in something and couldn’t get my phone to work, couldn’t make my voice work to yell, or anything like that, and I figure that it’s because I have real issues asking anyone else for help.
Around 3 years ago I dreamed I overslept and woke up at 6:31. I have to leave home around 6:10 to be on time for work.
That morning I woke up on time, but when I got in my car its clock showed it was 6:31. I didn’t understand how it could be that late and checked the time on my phone. Turned out the car was showing the wrong time, which happened to be the same time as in my dream.
I swear someone could post a dog sneezing and there will always be a, “Capitalism is at fault” comment followed by someone trying to introduce Arch Linux.
This works well. Lazy people will try to make others do the intellectual work of their argument. You just have to turn it around on them and ask questions that force them to open the box of whatever nonsense they started with.
Often times they will get tangled up in their own argument, or it will start to expose the contradictions.
