Today's dream: A hackable chatroom

Image source

It all started as a more real-life scenario in the dream where I was trying to talk to a friend I haven't talked to in many years. Before going to sleep, a friend gave me a screenshot of the last post a friend I haven't interacted with in many years since she went to another country. I got a bit of nostalgia and I suppose my dream reflected that.

I was in the avenue and we were having trouble meeting up. Aah, I can't remember much of this dream. :( I'm pulling away at my memory and nothing comes out from this section, even though I know there was a tonnnn of content here.

Well, in the next section, I was in a chatroom. It was autumn-themed, all red, brown, dark yellow and some beiges. It was like IRC. The chatrooms were listed to the left. But up to the right, there was a menu that was more like Telegram's in design, but the settings were much more abundant and there was a whole lot more about privacy, encryption and selecting which kinds of interactions you wished to have.

I wanted to download one specific information gradually, but there were a few methods that were based on a text-based API and it wasn't to my liking. I prefer native methods, so I kept researching for a few agonising minutes until I found a method that looked like a Bash script.

I can't remember what it said or what it did, but its complex structure started with the program, which was two words connected with a low dash (word_word), then arguments. The first one started with one or two hyphens, and then there were parentheses and a complex conditional operation that called datatypes in which case the media would not be interacted with in order to have more case precision.

One use-case I remember is data-streaming. There were moderators in the chat, of which one was absent, dead or so angry that he refused to talk. There was a girl who was my accomplice in this. There were bystanders who just kept talking while I explored the menus and the possible settings. There was one related to blockchain (I like event-based streaming of the blockchain :D), something that looked like Youtube-video embedding and that's all I remember about specific settings.

When I woke up, was listening in my head to the song I posted about. It was so intense, and I was so hungry, that it was like the singer buzzing and intensely complaining about an unknown issue and pushing it at me over and over.

I haven't been sleeping well lately. :( I slept 5 hours yesterday, 7 hours today. I woke up today at 2 am. Not sleeping well really affects my dreams. They are not as solid or rememberable as when I sleep well. My tired brain struggles to enter the proper sleep cycle and it is quite noticeable when I wake up with vague, abstract dreams like this one.
