How many meta-levels can my dreams achieve?

[vvvexation]

A couple of nights ago, I had the first LiveJournal-related dream I can ever remember having, and it was fairly interesting. I dreamed I was reading a post someone had made in blog_sociology describing a "challenge" they'd participated in: they were to spend a week not blogging about blogging. That week, they'd made only three posts to their personal journal: a post at the beginning of the week saying "yeah, I'm doing that challenge thing people have been talking about"; a post in the middle of the week saying "this sucks!"; and a post at the end saying "yay, I'm glad that's over." In other words, not only had they been completely at a loss for anything to blog about once they stopped blogging about blogging, but they'd also not been able to keep themselves from blogging about not blogging about blogging.

I think my subconscious is grossly exaggerating. I certainly don't think anyone in that community is actually so absorbed in meta-analysis that they don't have anything else to talk about--but the idea is amusing, and it also amuses me to be sitting here blogging about people blogging about not blogging about blogging.

Now, my only question is: should I post this over in blog_sociology?

So, of course, you are blogging about dreaming about blogging about not blogging about blogging.

My answer: Of course you should. ;-)

But first see if you can add a few more meta-elements to the sentence above.

Absolutely.

That's funny and interesting. I always love to hear about people's dreams.

*pulls out ABC of Dreams" Hmm. It says here that dreams about blogs genrally mean that your heavy metal career is about to crash, and that dreams of people who blog about blogging indicate a return to fame as a folk-rock star. Does this sound about right?

Oh, I forgot. The ABC of Dreams type books are all BS. Sorry.

I would say no, because then you'd be blogging about someone not blogging about not blogging about blogging, and that would make you a hypocrite.

I think that community would get a kick out of it. :)
