Nightmare...

I awake this morning feeling very disturbed from a series of dreams I had last night.  Each time I woke up, I would say "WTF" and hope to dream of something more pleasant, but I didn't.  This is my attempt at trying to remember some of the things I seen in the dream:

I was a network administrator given the task of networking for the first time a large complex of building and structures for a new development that seemed to stretch for several square miles.  Working in the temporary Data Center with the engineers and subcontractors on the physical layout of the wiring schema.  From the blueprints that I was viewing, I knew where I would have to make connections, run trays, install wires under raised floors and use the proper shielded cables.  Everything seemed to be in order and the project moved along on time and on budget.

At one point I needed to go out to an area under construction and resolve an issue with my team on the placement of wires.  As I approached the area, I noticed a few signs around the area that just had names shown with numbers on the signs as well.  I approached the OK-95, NY-01 and NO-05 area to talk about the placement of network cables.  I could see three fellow team members that appeared to be disturbed and refused to work in the area.  I walked up to the members and had a conversation with them but there was no audio of the discussion.  I knew that something was preventing them from doing their job and I had to resolve the issue.

I ended my discussion with the three members and walked all three out of the construction area and accepted their resignations.  In order to get the job completed, I had to find replacements.  I was not successful at finding replacements and had to work on the area myself.  As I gathered my tools, I noticed a reflection in a window of the construction area.  The reflection reminded me of something but at the time, I did not pay attention.  I was more concerned with completing the task at hand.

With blueprints in hand and my tools over my shoulder, started down the path to the work site.  At this point, many days had gone by because there was now a few more structures being built.  But there was something very odd about these various structures along the path...nobody was working on them but I could tell them were not done.  None of the structures appeared to be complete, however the blueprints were saying that they were complete.  I walked through areas: CC-40 through CC-45, PH-41, OK-95, CHS-95 and then finally arrived at HT-10.  As I walked through the areas, a feeling was coming over me or absolute dispair, anger, pain and sadness...yet I still did not know what it was I was walking through.

I arrived to my distination and completed my task of wiring for the network.  With all of my tools in my hands and a sense of happiness for being done, I quickly headed back to the Data Center.  As I approached the Center, I noticed a sign indicating that the data center was moved to it's new location up the hill.  I headed up the hill and found the data center with nobody around.  I walked in and located my new office.  As I was setting up my office, a few people walked by and they just looked at me with tears in their eyes.  I tried to find out what was wrong but they quickly left...matter of fact, everyone was leaving.  I just could not understand.

As I placed personal items around my new office, I again noticed a reflection in the window, but this time, I did not ignore the reflection.  I turned to the window and looked out over the area down the hill from the Data Center.  To my shock and horror, I finally noticed in full detail what I had just finish networking.  It was the largest museum in the world...but it was no normal museum, it was a musuem of death and destruction. As I looked in total horror I realized what those coded signs represented around the area:  Concentration Camps (CC), Pearl Harbor(PH), Oklahoma City(OK), Columbine High School(CHS), New York(NY), New Orleans(NO) and Haiti(HT).  Each area was a complete recreation of the carnage and chaos of those locations.  But there were other areas in the distance as far as the eye could see, it seemed to go on forever.

Standing there in total shock, I looked to the left of the area to see a very large sign that read "Coming Soon" with construction workers standing under the sign, reading newspapers and drawing blueprints.

I never wanted to dream a dream like that ever again!!!!
