I really enjoy my dreams. I have been to some pretty weird places in them. Usually my dreams relate to what I have been doing and thinking about for the last two or three weeks.
About a week ago, I spent two days learning and writing html. Last night I dreamt in html. Page after page of tags. I wasn’t typing the html. I was the html. Every so often there would be a link to some dream “real world” situation. I would sort of go through the link and arrive at this real world place as my self, a person. These link destinations wore like normal dreams. I went out to multiple links and then back into html. It’s a weird feeling being html.
This has got me wondering. Could I dream in css, or jarver script, or binary or hex numbers? Could I dream in chemical equations, or radio waves, or gamma waves? Try and imagine what it would be like to be a gamma wave. Actually, I would like to have a dream where I was one singular photon. That would be interesting…

People are like web browsers
Memes are like html code, and people are like web browsers. Everyone thinks they have complex individual thought. When really they have a bunch of memes being expressed and conveyed in a certain way. Just like everyone else. The difference here is that with a web page, you can simply just click view source, and there is the html code. You can tell exactly what the page is made of. You can read the html and know what it would look like in a web browser. If someone has role over's on there images, just go view source, and… “Oh, that’s how they did it”.
Unfortunately, you can’t just walk up to a person and click view source. People don’t like to display there html code to anyone. There happy to show you a browser interrupted version. But never the source code. Having only just learned html in the last week, I’ve now realized that that web pages are a simple bunch of codes. And it’s the browser softwhere that’s makes them look cool. But I’ve known that the way people are, there personality, there ideas, est… is just a collection of memes they got from else where, for a little longer. Before that, I guess I didn’t realize that people had source codes either.
Most people aren’t aware of html source codes, or people source codes. Most people couldn’t find there own source code if they tried. That’s because people need a separate source code, to find there own, and to understand the hole people source code language. You need a deconstruction meme to find out that all your thoughts are just memes that you have collected through out your life. And to rip open every one of these memes, and find out what’s in side. This is a difficult process. A meme doesn’t want to display its source code to its host. This could threaten its existents.
I’m trying to find my source code. I’m trying to deconstruct every meme I have. I’m trying to deconstruct every new meme I pick up. With the hope if eventually deconstructing my “self” meme, and fining out whats left in at the end..

Lateralus
This is my favorite song. It has a totally different concept of “the golden mean”, to the one most people have. To explain this, first you need to find the Fibonacci sequence in this song. The way Maynard (the vocalist) sings some versus of this song fits in so well with the Fibonacci sequence, that it could not just be a coincidence. When listening to the song, if you count the Syllables in each line as he sings them, you get a paten like this…
1 Black
1 Then
2 white are,
3 all I see
5 in my infancy.
8 Red and yellow then came to be,
5 reaching out to me.
3 Lets me see.
2 there is
1 so
1 much
2 more and
3 beckons me
5 to look thru to these
8 infinite possibilities.
13 As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
8 drawn outside the lines of reason.
5 Push the envelope.
3 Watch it bend.
The Fibonacci sequence starts with 1 and 1. You than add the second number to the first and you get 2. You then add 2 and 1 and get 3. You then add 3 and 2 and get 5. You than add5 and 3 and you get 8. ect ect… the numbers keep getting bigger and bigger. There is no limit to how far this sequence can go. If you follow the sequence far enough, you will get the number 987. This is Important. The time signature for this song is 9/8 8/8 7/8, repeating. If you graph the Fibonacci sequence, you get a spiral starting at 1, and spiraling outwards from the center, it has no end point so it just keeps going. This spiral is often found in nature.
The Golden mean spiral, on the other hand is defined by the number phi. Which is 1. 61803399. At first glance the two spirals look almost the same. On closer inspection, you will notice that the golden mean spiral spins at a slightly different ratio to the Fibonacci spiral. Also, where the Fibonacci spiral has a defined starting point, the golden mean spiral does not. It spirals in getting smaller and smaller, and out getting bigger and bigger, forever.
So how do all These spiral relate to the song? Well if you wore to draw the Fibonacci spiral, and the golden mean spiral on the same graph you would see that at first The to spirals are quite different, but as they grow the Fibonacci spiral will spin closer and closer to the path of the golden mean spiral. Its almost like the Fibonacci spiral is trying to imitate the golden mean spiral. Eventually they become so close that they join and become the same spiral. If you say that the golden mean spiral is a metaphor for your higher self, your subconscious, your ultimate state of mind, a paragon of existence, a higher thing / being, or ( insert your own idea here).
And say that the Fibonacci spiral is a metaphor for your conscious self, your conscious mind, your physical body, man kind. Or (insert you own idea here).Now if you take those metaphors and apply them to the explanation above you get: “(insert golden mean metaphor meaning here) is the all perfect eternal paragon of life, that has no beginning and no end, and keeps spiraling out and bettering its self, and (insert Fibonacci metaphor meaning here) is you, who has a starting point (birth) spiraling out trying to imitate the golden mean, and becoming more and more like it, until you become part of it and keep spiraling out”

Nothing matters
Life is a dream for most and a lucid dream for some. No mater how weird stuff is in your sleep dreams, you just accept it. It seems completely normal that you can breathe under water, and that all the fish are off to protest against the rise in petrol prices. If you can lucid dream, you realize nothing matters in this dream world. But in your wakening state, suddenly you think everything matters. You need money, a house, a car, certificates from educational institutions, you have to be successful. It matters that you get to work on time, that your clothes look expensive, that you have a raging social life. You think it matters that you win the argument, or at least make sure the other person understands your opinion. It’s just your opinion, why won’t they just listen to you for a moment. Wore you listing to there opinion? We get too caught up with spreading the idea’s that we have, and refuse to take in information that contradicts these ideas that we have.
Today I became lucid in this waking state dream, again. I realized that there is no point in arguing. The degree I am doing at school doesn’t matter. The fact that I’m really anti social have no friends and “need to get out more” doesn’t matter. All the concerts I go to and sit in the queue for 13 hours because its important to get front center, don’t matter. That I realized that nothing matters and am typing it now, doesn’t mater. Your girlfriend / boyfriend doesn’t matter. That not a single person in the world has a fucking clue who they are, wore, or ever will be, doesn’t matter. Nothing matters. NOTHING.
I realize that all the stuff in this lucid, waking dream, doesn’t matter. This gives me incredible clarity of mind. It’s like being 10 days hike from civilization where there is no pollution and you can see all the stars. It’s like… becoming lucid…
