Re: Have you ever had a dream about ticalc.org or TI calculators?

Once I had a dream that I had a 89Ti and I was trying to get TI Chess onto my calculator. It was a strange dream.

I rarely remember dreams, so I wouldn't know if I did or didn't.

I dream often about programming. Not day-dreaming, but real in-bed dreaming. I pften wonder how I'm going to do this and that in my various programs, and I drift off.

I once had a dream in which my math teacher caught me playing games on my calculator. She took me to this little cubicle with red curtains and slammed my head against a nail.

I'm not kidding.

Ouch!

For some reason, I never seem to feel any kind of pain in dreams, even if something happens that's supposed to hurt.

Unless you meet Freddy Krueger, that is.

120d\!

Oh, I thought of another thing like 120d. gtg can be expressed as "1". Guess why.

As "1"? Hmmm... I'll have to think about that. g2g... 626... 626d=272h, 272d=110h, 110b=6d... no, nvm. How about 626=114(mod 256), 114="r". Darn. Umm, 626=2*313, no... g2g = g to g = g->g um, lim x->x:1 = 1? Nah... um, regarding significant figures, |sin(626°)|=1.0. Haha

Well, working backwards, "1" = 00110001b = 49d. Am I on the right track there? Oh wait, g2g = g to g = g/g = 1?

Oh yeah, how do you think you did on this round of the USAMTS? I spent about 15 hours in the last three days working on the solutions because I'm such a procrastinator. 120d

Yeah, I think g:g is how he got 1 from gtg.

I've never thought of "got to go" as a ratio before.

Neither have I. It's clever, good job :)

My most recent dream about a TI calculator is that I made a Zelda game in BASIC for one of them, and it performed as though it were written in ASM, and the calculator had a color screen that resembled the Gameboy Color's screen.

Several years ago, I had one of those rare dreams that I realized I was dreaming during the dream. I decided to pick up my calculator (which was the TI-86 at that time, since I didn't have a TI-89 yet) and go to the Catalog screen to see what would happen, since I know I didn't have the catalog memorized, and I wanted to see what the part of my brain that was creating the dream would do in response to that. When I did this, the LCD magically seemed to change into a higher resolution LCD, and there were strange menus at the bottom I had never seen before.

I had a few more dreams like that around that time, and the same thing happened every time I went to the Catalog. Once, I think my calculator even had a slot where I could insert CDs for it to read (though I'm not sure how a CD would fit inside the calc in real life...)

Yeah, it's interesting to try and manipulate your brain that way...

Ah, you're lucky. I've never had a lucid dream before. :P

I've had them several times. At around that time (which was around three or four years ago) I checked out a book about lucid dreams from a library and read it. There seems to be a certain technique or something you can practice to get them, but I don't remember exactly what it was. At around that time, I somehow got a bunch of lucid dreams quite often, but I haven't had too many lately.

I know you can buy a REM-detecting headgear-style device that you wear when you sleep. It flashes two pulses of red light into your eyes, so you'll supposedly see these red flashes from behind your closed eyelids and recognize that you're dreaming.

Of course, the contraption is exorbitantly expensive so it seems like a ripoff to me. :P And plus I'm not sure how difficult it is to sleep with a big machine strapped to your head ... >_>

What I wonder is if you're dreaming, you will see what's in your dream, so how are you going to see the flashing lights instead?

I would want to know if REM was in my room! I'd ask for their autograph, of course.

I've had a lucid dream, considering I pinched myself (didn't work, just hurt), but no calcs...

What's disappointing about lucid dreams (at least for me) is that I still don't get much control over them--especially over when they end or don't end. Or, in some lucid dreams I would try to do something, like fly, and still couldn't. I would have thought that when I know it's a dream I could do anything I want.

Although on rare occasions, I get lucky and can do anything I want. In one lucid dream (I think) I decided I would go right through a fence like a ghost, and I did. In another dream, I was at a computer and had a horrible keyboard with half of the keys missing and in weird places, so I "made" it be a regular keyboard. But I don't think those dreams were entirely lucid. Sometimes I know it's a dream at some points and then forget again.
