Nuclear war dream

I have had 2 or 3 war dreams in my life. Last night I had the most realistic war dream ever. I dreamed that I saw a flash so bright I could not look at it. It was from the Salt Lake Valley. I was at my parents house where I grew up. It was so realistic it's scary. The dream went on. I went to a place where I had hidden guns and ammo and fled to the low hills with a group of people. I didn't know who any of them were. While up there the dream was so realistic again. I remember tripping over rocks and falling down 2 times. When we were hiking up there we saw another flash coming from the Provo area. I just knew in my dream that the flashes of light were nuclear bombs.

I don't think about this stuff very often. In fact it was Easter and I had just come from a family dinner. I had taken some pictures and was thinking about my family and those pictures. I don't know where this dream came from but I had to put it down in writing so I would remember when I had it.

I know dreams are not literal and shouldn't be taken literally but I do wonder why i would have this kind of dream and why it was one of those that are so realistic. It has me worried. It makes me wonder what would need to happen before things got so bad that Salt Lake and Provo got nuked.

Anyway, odd dream. That's my thought for the day.

Information. Learn to use the internet

The internet or World Wide Web is the largest information source ever in the the history of the earth as far as we know. I have taught myself how to fix almost any issue with a home desktop or laptop computer. I have learned how to fix any problem due to hardware (Hard drive, motherboard, memory, CPU, etc.) or software (Windows, Linux, ect.) I have learned by watching videos, reading, joining forums with other people who know this stuff and other places on the internet. I have come to the point that I can fix any problem on a Windows based computer no matter how bad. Right now I am trying to teach myself how to program Java. Not the easiest thing to understand but with a lot of work it's amazing what you can learn from the information on the internet.

Some time ago my sister asked me if I could look at her computer. It was infected. I looked at it and decided I could not fix it without loosing all her data. I started learning how to remove infections that day. Today I could remove an infection like that in a few hours (maybe less) The information was right in front of me on the web. I just didn't know where to look. Someone who had the information fixed the problem.

The ability to repair computers is useful but the world is changing. People are using hand held devices and laptops to access the internet and communicate. I use a laptop most of the time. The home "desktop" computer is being used less and less. Soon the ability to fix home computers will not be needed. It's important (but hard) to keep up with the changing world.

The information on the internet is endless. Learn to search for the answer to any question you have. The internet is the greatest source of information in the history of the world. We should be the most educated population in history. You still have to do the work and put in the time and effort.

Happiness. Is it possible?

Does everyone wake up every day dreading the day ahead of them? Are there certain types of people who are better off working for themselves because of their personality type and set of circumstances.

I have worked very hard for a long time. I got up every day, went to work, did a great job, and dreaded it but considered myself fortunate. Almost every day has been a struggle. Does everyone wake up every day dreading the rest of the day? It's like living in a prison. I feel like a prisoner. Just a prisoner being transferred to another prison with a small, short taste of freedom in between.

Are there certain types of people who need to be entrepreneurs? To work for themselves? I would happily give up most luxuries to be happy. Is it possible to enjoy life? How many people enjoy life? Not many I'll bet. I know it's possible to be happy and life is shorter than we think. Life is short, but doesn't seem that way sometimes. When we look back is when we wonder where all the time went.

I think I am a person who needs to work for himself to be happy. Life is too short to waste dreading every day. Also, I don't know if a person can take the mental anguish for an entire lifetime. I wish I could retire or live in a hippie commune in the Nevada desert. Well.....Maybe not the commune but you know what I mean.

Maybe it's just the way you look at things. Maybe it's all attitude. I don't know.
