    I had the oddest dream last night and for once I actually remembered what it was about once I woke up. A traffic junction with big bushes everywhere. On one side a long desk, a co-worker sitting at one end in front of a state of the art PC (it just looked state of the art, you know, that blue glow, the sweeping curves, the heat radiating from the box.) At my end, I just knew it was my end, of the desk was a notepad, no, a paper-notepad, and a pen. I sit down and the co-worker asks when the Kibble specification will be ready. I panic as in exactly 2 minutes I will fall asleep (yes, in my dream I thought I was going to fall asleep in two minutes exactly) and I have only done half the spec. I start scribbling on the paper-notepad. I write down the address of the central server, \\bgctnt01. Nothing, no connection. I notice my handwriting is terrible, as it has always been, and think the notepad is not recognising it (told you this was a weird dream.) I write a bit neater, but forget the \\. I then do it properly, but still nothing, a blank page. I panic more, 1 minute to go. The co-worker is hovering. I start flipping pages, look underneath the notepad. Damn where is the UTP cable port? Where is the USB port, what about the COM port, anything! Arrgghhhh, where is the reset button! I look for ctrl-alt-delete. Nothing! I panic more and stand up hurriedly throwing the pen to one side, chair falling back into the road. As the dream fades and I wake up I remember it is just a paper-notepad and that it cannot connect to a network. So, I ask you, WTF does that dream mean? :confused: :rolleyes: regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Sonork ID: 100.9903 Stormfront

      Often when I have a nap in the late afternoon I am still awake enough to "think" thoughts, yet see the completely unrelated visual images(dream pictures) being produced by them. Seems to me there is some process/problem in your live that you feel unequipped to handle on your own without additional assistance. Also the person presenting you with the challenge seem to not only have all the necessary knowledge/tools whatever but is giving you unsufficient time to come up with the right solution. Meanwhile you are desparately looking for the secret knowledge inside yourself. As you wake up you realize you are just a paper notepad and will never understand the way women think:laugh: . To make things more interesting every person in a dream is suppose to represents ourselves:confused: Grasp it but you cannot get it! It's name is memory..

The other day I was using the URL bar in Microsoft Word, trying to connect to our central server to retrieve a document, but the darned thing would not connect. Eventually I used Explorer. At the time I thought "damn I want a document management system!" That is freakly close. Word being the paper-notepad and the DMS being the state-of-the-art PC. *gets goose bumps* Simon Walton wrote: I would definitely say stress. Funny but I don't get stressed, well never bad stress. When I do get stressed I just work and think better. Though it does take me about 30 minutes to wind down after a medium day. Thankfully I have a loud car stereo system to bombard the active brain cells with on the way home :-D regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Sonork ID: 100.9903 Stormfront

              It means you must cleanse your soul by many very expensive counselling sessions . Either that or this is just one of the dregs one has to put up with to really appreciate the ones with seven nymphomaniacs and a bottle of baby oil .
