Don't get caught up in the details of the first dream - it seems totally 'out there' that some kind of Star Wars was fought on Phobos (Death Star??) back around 13,000 years ago. I also don't especially believe in reincarnation, though I believe that it could be possible under certain circumstances.
- So, the word 'Yot' is the key point from the first dream.
The second dream is full of suggestions that the ideas in it came from beyond my own sphere of understanding.
- Daissar as the town in Southern France where the French nuclear program was/ will be abandoned.
- Daissar means 'to abandon' in a language I never even heard of, spoken in Southern France.
- The French would never abandon their nuclear program! I would never have thought that up in a million years.
Interesting final thought: A Yotta-Bite... Yottabyte? The largest yet-conceived-of data storage capacity term.
The only people currently contemplating setting up a Yottabyte's worth of storage? The US Pentagon/ NSA.
Given the facility’s scale and the fact that a terabyte of data can now be stored on a flash drive the size of a man’s pinky, the potential amount of information that could be housed in Bluffdale is truly staggering. But so is the exponential growth in the amount of intelligence data being produced every day by the eavesdropping sensors of the NSA and other intelligence agencies. As a result of this “expanding array of theater airborne and other sensor networks,” as a 2007 Department of Defense report puts it, the Pentagon is attempting to expand its worldwide communications network, known as the Global Information Grid, to handle yottabytes (1024 bytes) of data. (A yottabyte is a septillion bytes—so large that no one has yet coined a term for the next higher magnitude.)
It needs that capacity because, according to a recent report by Cisco, global Internet traffic will quadruple from 2010 to 2015, reaching 966 exabytes per year. (A million exabytes equal a yottabyte.) In terms of scale, Eric Schmidt, Google’s former CEO, once estimated that the total of all human knowledge created from the dawn of man to 2003 totaled 5 exabytes. And the data flow shows no sign of slowing. In 2011 more than 2 billion of the world’s 6.9 billion people were connected to the Internet. By 2015, market research firm IDC estimates, there will be 2.7 billion users. Thus, the NSA’s need for a 1-million-square-foot data storehouse. Should the agency ever fill the Utah center with a yottabyte of information, it would be equal to about 500 quintillion (500,000,000,000,000,000,000) pages of text.
The data stored in Bluffdale will naturally go far beyond the world’s billions of public web pages. The NSA is more interested in the so-called invisible web, also known as the deep web or deepnet—data beyond the reach of the public. This includes password-protected data, US and foreign government communications, and noncommercial file-sharing between trusted peers. “The deep web contains government reports, databases, and other sources of information of high value to DOD and the intelligence community,” according to a 2010 Defense Science Board report. “Alternative tools are needed to find and index data in the deep web … Stealing the classified secrets of a potential adversary is where the [intelligence] community is most comfortable.” With its new Utah Data Center, the NSA will at last have the technical capability to store, and rummage through, all those stolen secrets. The question, of course, is how the agency defines who is, and who is not, “a potential adversary.”

The eyes of a dragonfly have 30,000 lenses. Big Brother appears to be watching - and possibly even interfering with our dreams.... Or maybe 'someone else' is letting me know that Big Brother is watching.

Nobody..correct
as in nobody can know what I am thinking...people can guess, they can assume, but nobody is living inside of my mind outside of myself.
Nobody outside of me can also accurately state what my dreams mean...maybe that umbrella in my dream is a symbol of protection..might be from the movie I watched the other night (resident evil, umbrella corporation), or a symbol of when I was a baby and rain was hitting my face until my mother picked me up and that protected me...
see..only I have the understanding of a collected lifetime experience both conscious and subconscious that could even start to unravel the land of metaphores and symbols that are dreams.
Sometimes a pipe is just a pipe as Freud said (or changed to sometimes a cigar is just a cigar)...meaning if you have no clue about what it is, then maybe its no deeper than just that...a simple dream object that has no deeper meaning outside of a prop.
Typically with dreams, its more important to figure out how you felt around objects..that can clue you in more about the nature of the objects...
Good example that many have heard
being in your underpants at a public event (say school).
You don't go into deep consideration over the underpants..its obvious..your exposed..your without your clothes (the false image you have put on) and people are seeing the real you..you are nervous about being rejected.
There are no objects people ponder here..it is the emotion that counts.
So then since this is an accepted understanding of that common theme dream, why do we look at other dreams and focus in on the objects moreso than the overall feel of it.
sometimes a pipe (in a dream) is just a pipe
But, anything outside common dreams (such as the underpants scenario) is subjective to the entire life experience and current behaviors, influences, and identification of the person..making it much less likely to even start identifying.

Of course we could guess all day and night and seek out meaning, but ultimately nobody can identify it because it requires a long list of things your exposed to on a daily basis..
playing games, reading conspiracy theories (cough), watching sci-fi movies, etc..all of this gets mixed in. Take that and add in the considerations of diet and drugs and you can come up with a plethora of interesting dreams from subconscious thought mixing.
Keep a dream journal though..dreams are quite interesting..even if just for a creative view of your mind.

Ha! I wonder if my "coast" (or what I call, "my island") is the same? I never start off here in a dream, I always end up there later and it is a very special or rare place for me to dream of. I always get there by boat and there is a long stretch of beach,
but the rainforest/tree area is very close to the sand. The rainforest area almost looks like it is a cover for something, like a fake front, as it looks too flat in a way.
I always end up in the middle of the island, in the mountains. There is a very narrow road that goes around the middle of the island, around the drop-offs and ravines, sort of like the road winds around the summit of a mountain on the island, though I can't recall ever seeing cars or anything. I always end up on a series of rope bridges deep in the trees/rainforest. I always remember this very clearly because I feel quite lucid in these dreams and have to remind myself I won't fall through the slats (I'm very afraid of heights). I always have at least two others with me, usually my husband and one or both of my children.
It is very mysterious, almost like the island in "Lost", except that I feel the island was made for me in some way, and I'm coming home to explore it because I've been away for a while. But I always know how to find my way around. The weird thing is that I never get to the middle of the island/mountain area knowingly. It's like I start on the beach and black out and end up in the middle.
I hadn't dreamt of the island in months until recently, now I've dreamt of it a few times in the past couple or few weeks. The last dream I had of it, about a week ago, was scary. I did not like it. The ocean waves had started lapping along the ridge of the mountain, along a little dirt trail that winds around it and we were starting to be washed away.
My husband has dream of it before, too, but it's not uncommon for us to dream in tandem, dreaming the same dreams on the same nights.edit on 6-6-2012 by mountaingirl1111 because: (no reason given)
