01/29/2014 Closeup of a Bridges CrissCross Steel Lattice Pattern

Odd dream. Very clear. I was crossing a bridge. I was taking a close look at the crisscross pattern on the right side of the steel lattice bridge. In the distance was arid land with little vegetation.

This dream is symbolic of something in my life or future. I will search the internet to see if I can find an interpretation...

Bridge
To dream that you are crossing a bridge signifies an important decision or a critical junction in your life. This decision will prove to be a positive change filled with prosperity and wealth in the horizon. Bridges represent a transitional period in your life where you will be moving on to a new stage. If the bridge is over water, then it suggests that your transition will be an emotional one. If you fall off the bridge and into the water, then the dream indicates that you are letting your emotions hold you back and prevent you from moving forward. Alternatively, the bridge may indicate that you are trying to "bridge" or connect two things together.�    Reference: http://dreammoods.com/cgibin/dreamdictionarysearch.pl?method=exact&header=dreamsymbol&search=bridge                                     

If one walks back from the water to the dry land in a dream, it means that he will satisfy his needs or fulfill his intentions. Reference: http://www.myislamicdream.com/river.html

Cool! Makes sense since I plan to retire soon so I can do more watercolor paintings...

Update 05/05/2014: I made it over the bridge and into retirement. I took this picture riding across a bike trail bridge in Idaho a little over five weeks after retirement because the steel girders on the bridge reminded me of this blog entry's dream. Coincidence? I don't think so. Come to think of it, the picture from the steel lattice bridge below was taken on 4/29/2014 because it was the first nice day after three days of rain- exactly three months after the dream. Amazing!

Update 5-7-2014: Taking a "Beginning Watercolor" class "post retirement". Here are my free hand paintings from the class so far. Fun!

 

01/23/2014 - Gadget Month Continues with Crystal Display "Smart" Watches

A few days ago I had a dream about imbedded "NaKnow" chips in humans, then I had a dream about capacitors the size of kidney beans on a circuit board capable of storing and releasing enough energy to fry a steak. On 01/21/2014 I had a dream about a watch with a crystal display. A person was all excited to show me the features and said there was a way you could get it to display the symbol and latest price of your favorite stocks in the stock market. Didn't seem to be too memorable except, in my dream, Facebook the company producing the watches. It seemed to be logical in my mind since the watch was a miniature book...a "Face" book!

12-28-2013 NaKnows - Dream of a New Way to Learn

I had a very detailed  dream of a new way to learn. The dream showed a large number of people targeted for downloads of a lesson of some sort or some important information. My impression it was like a spy movie and the information needed by this group of spies was wirelessly downloaded to a nano chip that was surgically inserted so they could review the 'lesson' until they memorized it. I'm coining the nano chips "NaKnows"!  This wasn't a small implementation of NaKnows. Many people had them and learned very select bits of knowledge by simple repetition. The key was the knowledge was always there and easily repeated over and over again until the person memorized it.

So why am I dreaming this? That is what question I asked myself yesterday and my logical, conscious brain along with my subconscious mind came up with the following facts after a good nights sleep (January 1, 2014).

I read an article two or three weeks ago about a startup company in Seattle, WA. The president of the startup has imbedded a primitive chip in their skin and uses it to open their front door, etc. by scanning the imbedded chip design in their skin in a scanner by their front door. This person's company thinks this idea will take off in the future. My mind also reminded me our dog has an RFID chip imbedded in it's skin so when it gets lost you just scan the back of its neck and the RFID chip will tell you information on who the owner is and how to get hold of them...cool!

So a few weeks after I read this article about the Seattle imbedded chip startup company, my subconscious puts my two little tidbits of knowledge together and comes up with a dream, a vision of the future for imbedded chips in humans I now call "NaKnow" chips!

My subconscious is saying, "Hey! This is one use of imbedded "NaKnow" chips in the future!"

My subconscious even showed me an image of the pattern of these future imbedded "NaKnow" chips. I drew the image of my dream before I forgot about it. My drawing of the  imbedded "NaKnow" chip image shows five rows and four columns of small, almost square "NaKnow" chips- 20 chips in a pattern of column and rows.

If I had drawn 4 columns and 4 rows that would be 16 chips- a multiple of the 64. Sixty-four bit architecture is what is used in the latest computer CPU chips. My image has five rows and four columns.

I'm not sure how the "NaKnow" imbedded knowledge chips will work in the future. How do we extract the knowledge and review it with our brains? Why did the image I drew from my dream have five rows and four columns of "NaKnow" chips?

What amazes me is these dreams seem to come true.

I had a dream I blogged a while back that explained why red (10-24-2013 More Views of a Dark Matter Parallel Universe?) and blue lasers (08-28-2013 Blue Lasers Used to Find Planets) can be useful in space and beyond our three dimensional world.

Why did I have a dream about lasers?

I just received my latest "Popular Science" magazine for January 2014. There is an article called "LASERS UNLEASH A FLOOD OF SPACE DATA". "Focused laser light operates in wavelengths 10,000 times shorter than radio, pumping out more waves-and more information-each second. Lasers maintain signal strength across large distances, so spacecraft carrying smaller receivers would be cheaper to launch."

I didn't know that until I read the article.

These dreams I have take the tidbits of knowledge I do know and show me how this technology will be applied in the future.

These dreams just happen and it never ceases to amaze me.

I had another dream on 12/31/2013 on an electronic circuit with high voltage capacitors that could cook a slab of meat thrown on top of it...no time to document that now. Will write the blog when I have time.

1/12/2013 Update: Well I know one reason I had the "Naknows" dream. I must have picked up some global vibes on this new show I happened to watch last week. The dream was spot on about the technology theme in this show. Didn't know about the show until I randomly picked it to watch because nothing else looked good to watch at the time. The series is brand new and started on 1/7/2014. I sometimes have dreams about something people somewhere in the world are showing high emotions about at the time. Since it is a new series I am sure there was a lot of excitement generated just by the people who created the show.

In Intelligence, Josh Holloway stars as Gabriel Vaughn, a high-tech intelligence operative enhanced with a super-computer microchip in his brain. With this implant, Gabriel is the first human ever to be connected directly into the global information grid. He can hack into any data center and access key intel in the fight to protect the United States from its enemies. Marg Helgenberger stars as Lillian Strand, the director of the United States Cyber Command who supports Gabriel and oversees the unit's missions. She assigns Riley Neal (Meghan Ory), a Secret Service agent, to protect Gabriel from outside threats, as well as from his appetite for reckless, unpredictable behavior and disregard for protocol.
