A dream on the periphery of my vision...

I'm sure this has happened to you, you spend what seems like the entire night caught in the most vivid dream possible, where everything feels absolutely real, and when you wake, you can remember the dream, but not all of it. That's where I am this morning, and it's driving me crazy, because I feel like it would be brilliant if I could remember.

The dream I had involved me being on a space shuttle of some kind. I recall how vivid the controls and various aspects of the ships were, and while my ship mates were somewhat fuzzy, as though only half there, I remember that there was one person there that I would consider enemies of mine, and the others just seemed to be people.

I don't remember how we go into space, nor to I remember what we were really doing there, but I remember that at some point, it seemed that all hell was breaking loose on the bridge. I remember that there were various alarms and indicators going off, and that I was in a storage area or loading bay, and I heard that there were several malfunctions, and that they were going to attempt emergency re-entry, and I remember that I looked at an image of trajectory and knew the shuttle would break up on re-entry, and that I had to get out of there.

Then, I remember that I was back on earth. Here's the problem, I know there was some brilliant way that I got from the ship to earth again, and that it happened very quickly, but I don't remember how, which is one of things that is driving me crazy.

Shortly after I was on earth, the shuttle came down and broke apart. In my dream I was in the middle of a baseball field with high fences and I was watching as part of the shuttle's thrust system came hurtling down on the other side of the fence. Even in my dream, I was amazed at how real that looked.

And then the dream was over.


Later...

I will be taking a look at, and 'reviewing' Acrobat.com, Adobe's new web app. It's release coincides with the release of Acrobat 9. As with Photoshop Express, Acrobat.com is in 'beta' and has a few flaws still hiding within, however, in the few minutes that I looked at it, it seems to be pretty solid.

I'm most eager to tryout Buzzword, their new flash based word-processor, being that I'm just a sucker for web based applications. The little bit that I've played with it so far seems promising, but I can already tell you that I'm dissapointed that there is no embed code for anything but .pdf files...


In the meantime....

I need to get to work. I'll be back.
