So I keep having this recurring dream that I'm on some sort of alien world with a group of friends around me and I'm trying to figure out a puzzle on a strange device. I have to figure out the puzzle to make everything alright.
Every night, the puzzle is something different and it's on a different device.
I know that I've only got a certain amount of time to figure it out, but that amount of time is ambiguous, there are no countdowns or anything.
I always get multiple tries ... I can click buttons, turn knobs, etc and try over and over again.
The "danger" of not solving the problem is somewhat abstract ... there isn't an impending enemy or anything. It's more like trying to solve world hunger than trying to defeat the bad guy.
Not sure why I'm sharing this dream ... it's just been a persistent nightly dream for at least the past week ... and it's starting to get curious to me in my waking hours as well now.
