Thread Name: BS: peculiar dreams
Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams
Nothing to do with music but I had a nightmare a few days ago where I had to answer a question for something (a job interview? An exam? No idea.)

The question was 'Draw a rectangle."

Not, I guess, the stuff of most nightmares. But, you see, if it needed to be freehand, a rule and square would be banned. But, on the other hand, if the wanted it as accurately as possible they would be essential. Was the rectangle supposed to be the main thing, or was the appeal of it the important thing? So, for example, should it be as close to a mathematically thin line as possible, or should it be Grinling Gibbons ornate? One colour, or multiple colours? Flat or 3D?

In my nightmare I had come up with hundreds of rectangles and know way of deciding what 'they' wanted.

I remember nothing else about the dream, by the way.
