Dream Logic
Feb. 26th, 2013 10:33 amIt's been said that there's nothing more boring than other people talking about their dreams, and if you agree with that you'd better stop reading right now.
Still here? Sucker.
I'm aware that dreams have their own internal logic which makes sense at the time but not upon waking, but sometimes one awakes with teh nagging feeling of "That must make sense."
Anyway, last night's dream. As a farmer, I owned a huge herd of cattle spread across a massive field. In order to save time bringing them back to their shed at night or to be milked, I installed teleportation pods into which the cows would be herded whenever I wanted them back to the their shed. Every time I did this one or two cows would simply mysteriously vanish, but the herd was so big it replenished itself fast enough for this to be an acceptable loss.
Anyway, after a while of teleporting cows (with acceptable losses), I discovered that doing so was putting me in terrible danger, and that danger would not pass 'for some time'. And then I woke up so I never found out why but with that nagging feeling that it all made sense in some way.
So, question for the day: why did my cow-teleporting activities put me - and the world - in terrible danger?
