subject: All the mistakes you made were the correct ones

All the mistakes you made were the correct ones - 2021-01-16 - TOGoS's Journal

I had somehow travelled back in time to 2013, and was hanging out with Devin. We were in some pool-with-diving-board facility, walking along a hallway towards the top of the diving platform. I was talking to him about my experiences from the future, and he said "all the mistakes you made were the correct ones."

We came out of the hallway onto the top of the platform. There were a few more platforms below us, between us and the pool. The pool was kind of small. And mostly obscured by the other platforms. I wasn't sure this was a good idea. "I'm going to try to hit the lowest one", said Devin. He jumped off and did indeed hit the lowest platform, which somehow caused him to bounce violently off to the left. Maybe he was fine?

There was maybe some stuff about walking around 'the neighborhood' with him, and Genya was in there also.

Different dream: I was working in a small office building, kind of like the old Earth IT one, where the building was divided into 8 octants, 4 below and 4 above. But Kaitlin Bennett and 3 others were outside, carrying rifles around and yelling at us. 'Us' being just me? I'm not sure if anyone else was in the building with me. Maybe it was a weekend or something. They were going to go up on the roof, and I felt like it was up to me to head them off. I went out and yelled at them.

Another different dream: I was back in the 1890s or so. There was a big labor struggle going on. Lots of factory workers running all over the place. I was talking to one of them, trying to think of any advice I could give from the future, and having a hard time coming up with anything on the spot.
