To bed very late, more holiday-related alcohol consumption, very busy days, stress, so dreaming is not perfect. But came away with two fairly long vivid coherent dreams, probably much detail forgotten. + new guy at a new company, give them a false name, tour the facilities and observe the huge workbenches and covered with huge plots I am settling in my cube at a new job, the boss calls me in to a meeting. In a conference room, sitting around a long table, I tell them my name is "<PERSON>," but they can call me "<my real name>", it is my nickname. Why did I tell them a false name, will that because a problem? I do not really know what is going on at this job. I should ask JL who also works here and used to be my manager at another job (real memory), but I think no, I should figure it out on my own. I am standing by a printer station, this is a printer that has many different names, all of which comes to this one device. A 3-ish page document comes out from a young woman, I pick it up and set it to the side of the printer, she comes by and I imagine she will find it. I am given a walking tour of the company. It is extremely crowded with workers who all work very hard and long hours. It is a computer hardware company apparently. Everybody's desk is really long, and their work areas are covered with huge very wide (2-3 meters) plots of the systems their designing. The plots are colorful and are made up of large numbers of lines arranged mostly in rectangular grids, like this: Discussing a particular circuit with somebody. It is a 9x2 or 9x3 arrangement of cells, it is a multiplier. +(f) walking outside a company outdoors in daylight + performing a concerto at a concert in a very steep concert hall, should I use music?, conductor goes on first I am performing a solo at a concert. I am climbing down a steep practically vertical audience area almost like a ladder. I pass by the principal orchestra <my instrument> player, and nod to her. I look down to the stage area and see a music stand has been placed on the stage next to the chair I will sit in. Hmm, should I play with music? I am trying to decide, it is less professional to play with music but there is less risk of forgetting the music. Later I am down on the stage level it is darker waiting to go on stage with the conductor, the announcer introduces the conductor and I start on to the stage but they indicate I should wait until my turn. There are no curtains and everyone can already see me so i wonder why I should wait.
