Visiting HP Corvallis in my dream again

 As many other HP employees, I often have repeating  dreams of coming back to HP as a  guest, being rehired at HP, being laid-off, etc. I described some of them already. The most recent one was a bit strange. I remember being at the site in HP Corvallis- but it seems I had gotten there not as an employee  but as a guest- or maybe just sneaked in somehow through the security gate.  Then I felt that it was the time to leave -  as I was on the site illegally or at least half legally.  I remember being at the security gate of some kind, but there was a crowd of people there already, all trying to get out!  Also the situation became unruly, and I was squeezed between the bodies of other people, mostly latinos and middle eastern folks. Here the dream ended.

Scientific and engineering dreams

 As a former scientist/engineer,  I often have dreams with scientific or engineering ideas in them. Often they are formatted as me making a scientific presentation of some kind.  Frustratingly, when I wake up, none of these ideas are new; they are  all repeats of my old thoughts from the past time.
