Frank's dream journal part 3

I saw a ad on TV, the ad on TV was for a soccer table. in the ad, A father was standing on top of the soccer table. He said "instead of toy soccer players going to timeout every time the ball hits the goal, won't it be cool if the team just won or loss.". The son said "don't worry, the players like timeout because they get a break from playing". (end of AD)

I had a bad CD drive that broke CDs if you put them in the wrong way. Every time you put a CD in the CD tray, the drive will automaticaly close without checking to see if the CD was put in the right way. So you had to be careful with this bad CD drive, otherwise the CDs will break.

I was at a friend's house, I was watching TV with them. they told me that they sometimes work in the workshop. I pick up a bunch of pins and needles without being careful. I got a few needles stuck in my hand and I wanted return the pins and needles in my hand. So we walk all the way to the store that sells pins and needles. At the store, we said "Look, it does not matter if you paid us for that return. We just want to get rid of the pins and needles.". The guy was nice and gave us 3 dollars for returning the pins and needles anyway.

On my way back, I saw some cubes outside with a rainbow of colors. I thought "the colors relate somehow to musical notes". I also saw A TV outside. It showed how a red channel, a green channel and a blue channel combine to make a color channel. The red channel, the green channel, the blue channel and the color channel showed the same picture in different colors. Only the colors of the channels were different.

I dreamed that I went to the computer in the middle of the night, I thought while dreaming, that I was awake. On the computer there was a bunch of documents on the desktop. I had different text editors and mom was with me. I tried to make a note that I was on the computer in the middle of night before going to bed. But none of the text editors would save the notes and I could not saved my changes.

the slideshow on the big flat panel TV
date: 8/12/2007

I went to an airport near my home town with dad. We went exploring and just as we were about to leave the airport, it was snowing right outside the airport.

Back at home I was eating zucchini with tomato sauce. Then I went to the laptop. I tried playing a song with the modplug tracker. but I heard no sound. I bring up a panel that lets you configure different modules. Now I see the problem, the keyboard-to-sound module is inactive. I press a button to make it active again and now I can hear the song.

I had a big flat panel TV, It showed a picture of roller coasters and played music. It also panned the picture around.

I surfing the web on that big flat panel TV. I was viewing pictures of someone sleeping on a bed. they had the same person sleeping on the same bed, but had different backgrounds. I went to a web page that auto updates when someone changes the picture I view the picture on a web page and got up to walk around. I saw that picture for about a minute. Then I see different pictures on the same web page. The pictures changed automaticaly like a slide show. Each picture only last for about a second. I did not touch the keyboard or the mouse while watching the slide show I did not have a remote control with me while watching the slide show at the end of the slide show, A window pop ups asking you if you want to download a zip file containing the pictures in the slide show I say "yes" even through I am not that interested.

There was weird music playing, I felt strange listening to it. I play the keys C#, D#, G# on the piano while the music was playing. I Played C# and D# keys more often than G# key. While Bentley the cat went outside, I found a toolbox in the kitchen.

We went driving around, looking for the perfect bar. We went inside each bar we saw, only find a problem with it. One of the problems with one of the bars we saw, is that it is too crowded. Then finally we found the perfect bar, I saw my sister mara in it.

We were in the living room. We thought there was a tiny crack between the ceiling and wall. Someone named tim came over to fix it. Tim says, "the fix is simple, just put plastic bags in the crack between the ceiling and wall". First tim puts empty plastic bags with Decorations on them in the crack. I thought "cool, the living room has Decorations for a short time". Then tim puts empty black garbage bags in the crack.

I saw a laptop with cyan screen. the only colors it could showed, was shades of blue, cyan and green. I tried to get it to showed color by connecting the cable firmly to the laptop. but mom said "forget it, It was just made to show shades of blue, cyan and green."

exchanging a TV and playing a board game
date: 8/28/2007

I went to store, to return and exchange the big LCD TV. The big LCD TVs were in big boxes. I choose a new big LCD TV. It had a USB cable and you could do cool stuff with it. I test the new big LCD TV by connecting a camera to it.

I Play a board game on the computer where there was a red army and a yellow army. The red army had red pieces. The yellow army had yellow pieces. every turn a piece is moved on space. when a piece lands on a new square, it captures the pieces of the Opposite color that are one space away form that new square. while playing, I thought about the different values of the pieces. I thought when a piece has a higher value, it is more powerful and the computer tries to hold on to it more.

after I woke up from the dream, I invented a new game based on the game in that dream.

driving from the second front seat

I was riding in the car, I was in the second front seat next the driver's seat. the driver's seat was empty and I was the only one in the car. I was steering the steering wheel from the second front seat. but I had a hard time reaching the breaks from the second front seat. The car was comming near a traffic light. I was trying to press the break to stop the car. but I fail to reach the break and stop the car.but Foratunately the light was green and I did not need to stop the car. I move from second front seat to the driver's seat. I test the breaks from the driver's seat and the car stops. Now I can easily stop the brakes.

at TJ's place, I was playing basketball indoors. Then I heard about a website about basketball. The website owners let me add my own subdirectory with my own pages.

I was reading a highlights issues I saw a color picture with a pattern of lines that was an optical illusion. the creature, the picture looks like it's showing, depends on how you view it. the picture looks like a certain creature. But then, when you change the way you view the picture without moving it. it starts to look like a different creature. note that the picture itself did not change, only the way you view it changed.

there was an article on how the brain process frequencies the article says that different sounds have different combination of frequencies the article showed a picture of the inner ear and said the different frequencies are like different colors. it also said we can understand speech because different letters and vowels have different combination of frequencies.

I want to show a line at the edge of the picture. Unforatunately the tool would only show lines at certain angles. it was impossible to show a angle that was between allowed angles. When you rotate the tool, the angle of the line would sometimes change in big steps. since it only uses certain angles,it was impossible for me to show a line at the edge of the picture

Fornatly the toy let you save games. I got a idea, I said to mara "how about saving the game often, so next time It crashes. we won't lose a another game. we started a new game. this we save the game often. I saw a pen that play music. I could barely hear music comming out of it. mara had an idea, she said "how connecting some headphones to the pen, so can hear it better" I connect the headphones that I am wearing to the pen and I could hear the music better. the toy crash again, but this time, we had saved the game.
