I was sitting in the audience at an award ceremony when one of the recipients, an IT specialist, commented on how surreal the occasion was for him. At that point someone in the crowd disapprovingly shouted that perhaps he should look into developing virtual toilets for Mom's and their kids doing online shopping. That's when I woke up! I found it quite funny...trying to figure out what this dream could possibly be telling me. Do we really hold IT specialists in such high esteme and are they really worthy of such awe. Is the dream telling me that though what I do may seem so important but what it really comes down to contribute little to making a better society? Surely toilets in a virtual world is of no use to us. However, in the real world something as seemingly insignificant as a toilet's absence when needed can ruin the best planned shopping trip to your local mall. Or am I just looking for a deeper meaning when there is none. Was it just God wanting me to wake up smiling. AHAHA "virtual toilets". Do they have those in trhe game "Second Life"?
