Weird "Dream"

As I walked into my room yesterday evening, I suddenly felt sick - a throat thing. "Bleah," says I. I do what I must, though not all the school work I should, and catch the Olympics before crawling into bed at about 10. For pretty much the whole night, I think, I had the following experience. It was sort of like a dream, but I was aware that I was lying in the dark in bed with a headache.

The experience was one of a pulsating frontal lobe. Wonder where that came from. There were all sorts of things going on around my head. People from the past (nobody in particular that I can remember), plans for the distant future, math theorems, scientific paradigms, things people think about in general. In each case, things that were far away were pushed further away from the force emanating from my throbbing head (perhaps this will lead to a final theory). Thus, twenty distinct lines from long ago were pushed together as one blob, a horde of people from the future packed together in an old Beetle. Things near my head were kept mostly as they were, contemplated upon. The message? Live in the present. Not just in the moment, but don't worry too much about the long ago or the much later to be. But keep those things in view. Just don't dwell on them.

Around 6am, I woke up a bit, but was still kinda having the "dream," which I later drifted back into more fully. At this point, after at least 6 hours of practice, I'd gotten damn good at this. I proved that NP = P by pushing it really hard, and the graph just collapsed into a three-coloring.

Unfortunately, by the time I was able to muster myself from bed, I couldn't produce the pseudo code.
