Oh man, i really need to get better sleep. :sleeping:

I just had a dream in which my entire field of view was a giant UHK GitHub issue…

Everyone’s comments were just Tetris blocks stacking up! :face_with_spiral_eyes:

I asked Perplexity to interpret your dream :rofl:

This dream combines elements of technology, communication, and gaming in an intriguing way. Let’s break down the symbolism and potential meanings:

Keyboard Symbolism

The giant UHK (Ultimate Hacking Keyboard) keyboard dominating your field of view represents communication and expression[1]. As a DevOps engineer and programmer, this likely reflects your daily work and the importance of coding in your life. The keyboard’s overwhelming presence suggests that work-related concerns or projects may be consuming much of your mental energy.

GitHub Issue Context

GitHub issues are typically used for tracking tasks, bugs, and feature requests in software development. In your dream, this symbolizes:

  1. Problem-solving: You may be grappling with a complex issue in your work or personal life.
  2. Collaboration: The public nature of GitHub issues points to teamwork and shared responsibilities.
  3. Organization: Your subconscious might be processing the need to structure and manage multiple tasks or ideas.

Tetris Block Comments

The Tetris blocks stacking up as comments is a fascinating element:

  1. Communication challenges: Each comment as a Tetris piece suggests that you’re trying to fit different ideas or perspectives together[2].
  2. Problem-solving under pressure: Tetris involves quick thinking and spatial reasoning, mirroring the fast-paced nature of software development[6].
  3. Sense of accomplishment: Successfully stacking Tetris blocks can represent small victories in addressing issues or completing tasks[2].

Interpretation

This dream reflects your subconscious processing of work-related challenges and communication. The combination of a GitHub issue and Tetris gameplay suggests you’re working on fitting various pieces of information or code together to solve a problem. It may indicate:

  1. A desire for order and control in your professional life[2].
  2. The need to balance multiple responsibilities or viewpoints.
  3. Anxiety about keeping up with rapid changes or incoming tasks.
  4. A creative approach to problem-solving, using your gaming skills in a work context.

Actionable Insights

  1. Consider if you’re feeling overwhelmed by work tasks and need to prioritize or delegate.
  2. Reflect on your communication style with colleagues. Are you effectively “fitting” your ideas with theirs?
  3. Embrace your problem-solving skills, but ensure you’re not treating every challenge like a game to be won.
  4. Take breaks from screen time to prevent work from dominating your subconscious.

Remember, dreams often combine familiar elements in unusual ways. This dream creatively merges your professional tools with a beloved game, showcasing your mind’s ability to find connections and solve problems even while you sleep.

Haha, there’s a lot of obvious truth in there…
This holiday season has worn me out & I haven’t been getting enough sleep. I skipped a few days of watching the UHK repos, and I missed a lot of action (hence the stacking up theme).

I’m not really a developer though; I’m just a long time UHK fanboy who was kindly given a chance to test the UHK80 for the past few months. So my lack of dev experience really exacerbates the communication issues. I have to focus pretty intently in order to follow a lot of what’s discussed on GitHub. I also tend to have a hard time explaining myself without making things even more confusing for the others.:sweat_smile:

It was actually a rather enjoyable dream, TBH. It combined two of my favorite puzzles (tweaking the UHK, and playing Tetris).:nerd_face: I used to play Tetris a lot when I was a kid, & I’d have dreams of it quite often. I’ve never been very good at it though.:rofl:
