Backing Up Data & They Wind & Demon Ghost & A Public Bathroom?

All that I can remember of this dream is that part of it involved me trying to back up / store data / stuff for my brother CC & my sister-in-law JC.

In another part of the dream, my brother GC & I were talking, and he mentioned some old TV shows that we used to watch back when we were kids.

Daenerys Targaryen’s Database?

Source: IMDb

I did not record most of my dreams or most of this dream, and so all of my dreams are forgotten now except for barely part of one dream.

This dream involved the character Daenerys Targaryen from the television show Game Of Thrones having a database on a computer of her future and / or current subjects (citizens).

I have no idea how she had this database and what information was being collected and stored in this database or how this information was being gathered, but I assumed that somehow she / they were spying on people and storing information about them in this database.

I assumed that this database would be used to help her as she ruled her kingdom.

Daenerys was dead now so she probably did not get a chance to use the database much or at all, and so I wondered what was going to be done with this database.

I can not remember if I was in the dream or not, if I was in the dream then I probably was by the computer where the database was stored, but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

The end,

My Mom Wants To Buy A New House

Dream 1

This dream took place inside a fictional old white rectangular wooden one-story house where I lived with most of my family and my mom, my brother GC, and my brothers TDC and KDC were there visiting during a break from college it seemed.

I spent most of the dream in the living room where most of my brothers were, and at some point my mom walked through and I somehow figured out that it seemed that she was about to go look at a house that was for sale.

I started to question my mom trying to pry some answers from her, she can be pretty private, and I managed to get bits and pieces of information that kept allowing me to guess other details correctly.

I found out and guessed that she hoped to buy a new house (it was not literally new) that was a larger multi-story house that was for sale somewhere, and she was about to go look at it soon to decide if she would buy it or not.

She would not tell me where it was but I assumed that it was somewhere in the city possibly on the outskirts, even if she decided to not buy it, she still planned to keep on looking until she found another house to buy.

Once she buys a house she planned on slowly having our house taken apart one room at a time until there was not enough rooms left for us to use, during that time we would use The E House when necessary until we could move into the new house, but I thought that was odd to have the house slowly taken apart like that.

I felt that we should move into The E House temporarily while they tear down the old house, then move the new house where the old house used to be, and then we move into the new house.

Either way I was excited about this and I wanted to go with my mom to see the house, and I wanted to be part of future house searching until we find one to buy.

I am not sure where my dad was, for some reason he is not in my dreams as much as my mom, maybe because he spends most of the day outside the house (working on various jobs, and unnecessarily raking leaves / grass / the ground / nothing et cetera and some minor yard work for hours 😀 ) or something but who knows.

I told my mom to let me know when she was ready to go, and then I started to look around the house noticing things that belonged to the previous owners including a small storage closet with mostly empty medical supplies like empty band-aide wrappings.

I wondered why was some of the previous owners stuff still here, and I imagined the previous owners possibly being family members of my sister-in-law JC.

I then heard my brothers TDC and KDC talking about wanting to watch the first Blade movie but they did not have the video on their computers so I told them that I had it on my computer, but when I looked on my computer I did not see it so I downloaded it from FMovies.

While I waited for it to download and for me to copy it to a USB flash drive I noticed that one of my brothers and my brother GC were wearing the same outfit and they had braids that looked almost the same and they looked almost the same so I had to look at them closely to tell them apart.

I mentioned this to them and my brother GC said that he had given our other brother one of his shirts which happened to look the same as the one that he was wearing, and I told them how their braids seemed to be matching with half of the braids ending at the front of their heads and the other half ending at the back of their heads (which is a style that my brother GC tries sometimes).

The movie finished downloading and copying over and I put it on one of the computers, and I let my brothers know.

I then started to look up houses for sale, but I woke up.

Dream 2

This dream possibly took place at the same house from the first dream or at a house that was very similar to it, and in this dream the musician Lorde (Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor) and I were in a relationship of some kind.

We were inside the house having sex and we would stop and change sex positions each time that she had an orgasm, and so we possibly tried six or more sex positions (missionary, doggy style, cowgirl, sitting and kneeling, standing, sideways, et cetera) while also trying various variations within each of those positions during the first time we had sex in the dream.

Later we had sex again using the same approach, but this time we tried even more sex positions and variations within each of those positions and there were even more orgasms.

After having sex the second time I learned that Lorde had teamed up with maybe a research company who specializes in collecting and sharing data from libraries, companies, governments, individuals, organizations, scientists, et cetera for research purposes et cetera.

She not only was helping to promote them but she allowed them to collect some data from this house, and so certain devices in the house were sharing certain kinds of data with their systems.

It seemed that libraries were possibly one of the main participates with the research company sharing data on their library collections and how often those items check out et cetera, but others could share various kinds of data from certain devices that they already own or possibly custom devices that they could get or buy from the research company.

The research company would gather and organize and share the data with those who participated.

I walked around the house with Lorde who was possibly explaining some of this to me while showing me some of the devices that were sharing data while explaining what kind of data they were sharing and why and the privacy policy et cetera.

I think that we got interrupted by her manager or whoever who was a thin somewhat older man with light-color skin, and so she probably left with him but I woke up as I continued to explore the house looking for the devices sharing data with the research company.

The United States Of Languages: An Analysis Of Duolingo Usage State-By-State

The Making Duolingo Blog has an interesting article about their analysis of some of last year’s language learning patterns on Duolingo that I read called The United States Of Languages: An Analysis Of Duolingo Usage State-By-State:

https://making.duolingo.com/the-united-states-of-languages-an-analysis-of-duolingo-usage-state-by-state

It was nice of Duolingo to release that data because it is interesting learning about some of the language learning patterns on Duolingo, I was able to predict some of the outcomes, but some of the data surprised me.

Soccer / Football And Relationships And School / College And Politics And Filmmaking / Creativity

Source: Wikimedia Commons

I watched a free online short film (20 minutes long) before going to sleep called The Brain Hack which was interesting and pretty good quality for a short film like this (at the very end of the film you might want to look away to avoid having a possible seizure):

Dream 1

I can not remember most of my dreams from last night partly because my last dream was so long, all that I can remember of this dream is that it was possibly inspired by the films The Brain Hack and / or Iron Sky (which I watched last night), and all that I can remember is that it possibly involved several things including numbers and something important and maybe someone was after me/trying to stop me; but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 2

This dream was very long so I can not remember a lot of it but it covered various topics like school/college, soccer / football, politics, relationships, maybe jobs, film making/creativity, et cetera and I did not voice record it and someone is talking to me as I try to type this so part of my memory of it will probably be destroyed before I can finish typing because of the distractions; and I think that most of it probably took place in a fictional version of the city of D starting during the day until the night and maybe across more than one day.

The first part of the dream possibly took place inside a Walmart-like store or Walmart during the day where I was shopping and it possibly involved jobs and other things, but that is all that I can remember of this part of the dream.

The second part of the dream involved school/college with me being outside in maybe a field-like area with former classmates/schoolmates of mine and others during maybe the evening until the night, people were hanging out, and I remember talking to some of my former classmates like my former male classmates SS and DC; and they wanted to go to one or two clubs, but I declined so they left without me but that is all that I can remember of this part of the dream.

Soccer/football was possibly part of most of the dream possibly even the two parts of the dream above this but I can not remember the details, in the third part of the dream it was probably another day during the evening or night in a windowless building that almost felt partly underground (maybe it was), and there was a formal dinner party/maybe fundraiser/whatever or something taking place and I was there with various other people and it seemed to be about politics and maybe partly about some people trying to start soccer/football teams.

Either The Vice President Of The United States Joe Biden was there or a generic male Vice President of no country in particular was there walking around talking about politics and himself as a woman and others followed him around acting so impressed, and he was so full of himself/over-confident/self-important and only interested in politics/things to help himself, his administration, his political party, those who supported him (the rich), the status quo/things as they are/the current system, et cetera; and it was annoying watching/listening to him walk around with his followers talking non-stop about politics and himself, but that is all that I can remember of this part of the dream.

The fourth part of the dream probably involved others and I actually playing soccer/football during the day on the next day in a fictional version of the D High School Field/Stadium or the field near it, I think that possibly some high school and/or college and/or other types of soccer/football teams were trying to form/start and recruit players/coaches/sponsors/et cetera, and I was playing with/helping them.

Some of my former schoolmates were possibly there like my former male schoolmate and former soccer/football teammate CC, I remember them wanting me to start playing soccer again, but it has been years since I have played soccer so I was not sure; and if I would not play they wanted me to at least help coach/train/start a team, but I was not sure about that either but I did think that both ideas were interesting but that is all that I can remember of this part of the dream.

The fifth part of the dream involved people having a good time after playing soccer and various topics/things came up that I can not remember other than talking to one man with whitish colored skin with medium-length curly dark-brownish colored hair who somewhat reminded me of one of the characters from the film The Brain Hack combined with another actor or one of my former male classmates, and he was talking about filmmaking and creativity.

The man said that he would sometimes instantly get entire film ideas from sudden inspiration from random things, and he gave some examples; and he seemed very excited/interested in filmmaking and creativity and inspiration et cetera, and he wanted to make a film soon but he was waiting for the idea to come to him.

When it was time to start leaving because it was evening or night I remember meeting a woman with whitish colored skin with short-medium length maybe reddish-brownish colored hair, and we both instantly seemed interested in each other; and I remember us walking and talking together toward the parking lot where our automobiles were and I had my left arm across her shoulder as we walked.

Once we got close to our or my automobile the man who I had talked to earlier saw a ball that someone kicked past him or something like that, and he got an entire film idea instantly just from seeing that ball kicked past him; and so he had one of his moments of instant creativity/inspiration, and he ran to us in excitement probably jumping around smiling and laughing and shaking/hugging us.

He was very excited and he explained the instant film idea that came to him in that moment of instant creativity/inspiration when the ball was kicked past him, and it was amazing how all of those ideas for an entire film suddenly came to him like that; but that is all that I can remember and I woke up.

There is possibly more that I will remember of this dream later once I have time to think without distractions, but I would be wrong.

I do remember part of two other dreams that I had this week that seemed so real that I almost thought that they were real memories at first, the first dream took place outside during the day and my automobile or one of my parent’s automobiles had one or more tires stuck in the ground leaning on one or more broken bricks or concrete blocks, and so I tried to get the automobile unstuck while trying to avoid having the tire or tires busted by the broken bricks or concrete blocks; but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 2

The second dream involved me looking at my mobile phone inside a house wondering if my mobile phone was somehow using data because the data symbol possibly indicated that it was using data, I do not have a data plan, and so I was confused by this and trying to figure out what was going on and how was this possible; and I hoped that I would not have to pay for accidentally using data, but that is all that I can remember of this dream.
