Here's a strange one:

I was living in a kind of multi-story apartment/dormitory complex. The floors were strangely staggered, as if it weren't built at the same time, the upper stories overhanging the lower ones in a haphazard way. I think the entire building(s?) was built into the side of a cliff. The wood was worn and maybe even rotting, but it was stable enough for me to sleep on a mattress on my front stoop, which hung over into empty space.

The weather was cool and rainy. I had Kisia, my little blue cat with me, and strangely I wasn't worried about her accidentally jumping off the front stoop (the real Kisia isn't allowed outside).

The air got cooler and I realized that it was time to move the mattress inside for the winter. My dormitory was one room but extremely well organized, with everything in it's place. Very simple: I had an attached bathroom with shower, a small closet, a cup, bowl, and spoon, and a bench upon which my sewing machine and sewing box sat (natch).

The paint was chipped and badly needed repainting. So I did paint it; it was curiously like painting a dollhouse - I stood outside the doorway and the interior seemed so much smaller, and I finished the job in a few brushstrokes.

While it was drying I took Kisia up to the roof. There was a large central area with dormitories identical to mine set all around it, again, all uneven. I was going to let her play in the central area but there were two large dogs chasing each other and I was afraid to let her out.

I guess the dream in itself isn't that unusual, what made it exceptional was the vividness of everything. I could feel the damp, cool air, and smell the vegetation growing and rotting in the forest (I think it was a forest). The grain of the wood of the dormitories was very clear, and the chipped paint was very detailed - I even remember the color, a sort of faded baby blue.

Through all this, I think I was a guy. Nothing in the dream really obviously pointed this out, but I just get the mental image of myself as wearing an old t shirt and shorts and one of those knotted leather strap necklaces that seem so popular for guys now. I also think I needed to shave.

Strange..

but winds like thread through the fabric of material reality. Like a stitch in fabric, on the top of the fabric you can see the stitch. When the stitch goes underneath, you can't see it, but it is still there.

an interesting similarity to math, sinus and cosinus and π = 360 degree: Cos(φ) = sin(φ + π/2) where we repeatedly crosses 0 swinging back and forth from (-1) to (1).

if I remember correctly that is ;)

They say sooner or later we will have figured out the mathematical formula that is responsible for the balances of the Universe. We are smart little mammals, but I have a feeling that the Universe has yet more surprises for us. :)
