"To sleep! Perchance to Dream."
In high school, I broke my foot while practicing the triple jump for the track team. We were practicing form and doing the step portion of the triple jump over a high jump mat. I hopped on my left foot up to the mat and did the step onto my right foot over the mat. Unfortunately my right heel just clipped the edge of the mat sending me off balance on my way down. The consquence of this was that the entire weight and force of my body was applied to the right fore foot leading to hairline fractures in the second, third, fourth and fifth metatarsals.
The first night after this, I dreamt the event all over again, up to the point where I executed the jump and jerked my leg in the land of consciousness into the wall waking myself up. My dreams immediately after the incident had no indication of the injury, but eventually my condition osmosed from the conscious world to the unconscious world.
Last night, I dreamt that I was talking to a perspective employer. And we spent quite some time discussing XP. In vivid detail. Practices. Values. Principles. Social change. Etc. That's the first time I've had such a technical dream since the time, in 1998, when I was sick in London and had fever related dreams relating to Java and the Tube.
What's it all mean? I don't know, but I woke up feeling like this was a good omen...
