Dreams imitates life and games
Another weird dream. And you must know that, just before falling asleep, I was playing the new version of FreeCiv, and one of the new options is that you can change field to use hexagonal tiles instead of square tiles.
So, there was this guy talking with his son about taxes. So he goes saying that everything was nice and peaceful, ‘till the government came with a tax like “you cannot step on cement”. You know, like young child playing “don’t step on cement” on sidewalks…
So, as he was explaining this to his son, in a very paternal voice, there was a yellow dog trying to walk in the sidewalk without stepping in the cement. And the father goes “you can walk, but you can’t step on the cement. Every time you step on it, you must press the red tile and start over”. And there really was a big, red tile in the right side of the sidewalk where the dog was. And, exactly when the father’s voice is in “step on it”, the dog steps on the cement, goes in the canine way of “something happened!” and then “I’m sad”, steps on the red tiles and start over.
After walking the block, father, son and dog, cross a street, and follow it. The kid says something like “now we can walk on the asphalt!” but the father says no, ’cause it is too dangerous. And this is the first time I feel I was inside my own dream, as I “said to myself” “screw this, I’m walking on asphalt anyway”. So, everyone walking on the sidewalk, I was walking in the asphalt and the father goes “But, luckily, things changed to…”
Now, I felt he was about to talk about the hexagonal tiles but, instead, there was a big, complete and amazing silence. I’m not kidding you here. I was waiting for some sound like the fan of my computer or my air-conditioner, but there was nothing. So I woke up and, surely, there was a big, complete and amazing silence. And was completely dark. It seems we had some power outage exactly when I was somewhat sleeping and somewhat waked up.
