Dreams that had significance to future events

I cannot remember a dream that may have foretold a future event, but I have had dreams that somewhat relived past events. Now if someone steals my netbook from the locale javahouse I visit -- a recurrent dream -- then it might be said that it foretold a future event?

Your netbook holds a lot of personal information to you so you maybe have a fear of someone having stuff you hold dear in their possession.

My most private files are kept remotely on an off-line external drive with 256 bit encryption, so that's not a bother. The few current files on netbook drive would probably put a hacker to sleep from boredom reading them. I YAWN just thinking about them. Maybe I should link them here so that those with sleeping problems could take advantage?

Could you be afraid of somehow letting people get too close to you? Do you put up barriers to some people when you feel they're getting too close?

Since joining boards in 2006 I've had 3 keyboard stalkers that were members. When shopping Grafton Street in Dub awhile back, he PM'd telling me everyplace I shopped that day; now that's really creepy! The other 2 are still on boards, and they may have thought their intentions were good at the time, but their actions freeeeeeked me out, including my flatmates.

So to answer your questions kitty, yes, I do "put up barriers" when online, several layers, especially with my main rig at home. But whenever I go online with the tiny netbook in our locale javahouse (the one I dream about losing), I am exposed to several vulnerabilities there (e.g., MIM, WireShark, and other packet analyzers), especially when accessing wifi through their open, unsecured, and unencrypted access point, which my current security suite pops up a warning everytime. I used to add a layer of security by using Tor, but today's boards times-me-out when I do, so that layer has been discarded.

So do you think that my repetitive nightmares of losing my netbook in our locale javahouse are a result of me "putting up barriers" to avoid them "getting too close?" Most of the time that worry is moot, as I typically hangout with a gang of coffee addicts while in the javahouse, or someone I date. But there are times I am working there alone at 6AM (when they 1st open), or into the night up until midnight closing. The caffeine keeps me from contracting keyboard face when working on indepth research projects, and the nature of my work allows me to work from almost anywhere so long as I can access the campus server or our lab via the net.

(Now I am YAWNING after this long rambling post. Most appropriate for the Sleepy and Dreamy forum)

So what do you think?
