Dream Diary Entry recorded July 6, 2018
Jul. 6th, 2018 06:47 amThis is my dream about a game cube.
No, not a GameCube[TM]. This was a physical cube, seemingly made of thin cardboard at least on the outside, and I at first thought might have pieces, tokens, etc. on the inside of it. On each side of the outside of it were the makings for one of several games, seemingly for several persons to play. Cleverly, some of the games changed or randomized their game play by having part of their face being able to be slid or turned. After I explored this a few minutes - this was happening in someone's house, not a store, with the cube having rested on a table in the living room area - I noticed that not only could you change one of the game's play in that way, but all the faces could turn, making it sort of ten-sided or more, with games trading features and parts, and the whole mechanism behaving like a large Rubik's Cube. This was all well and good, but I got curious about the precise movement of the faces, and I found out that I could make a non-traditional twist of the faces, along a kind of a diagonal angle. This changed the shape of the game array into some odd shape that, the more I twisted it, the less symmetrical it got. It would have pointier and more shallow angles, and was also getting generally flatter. The more I turned it along its seams, the more it seemed to be simply sheets of cardboard bound together, until finally, it seemed to be little more than a set of eight magazines connected by a sort of binding cord network of eight bungee strands of one length, bound at both ends. The magazines easily came off, and now I was genuinely worried that I would be unable to get the magazines back on and the whole thing folded back into the original game cube. At the very least, I had not even begun to figure out how to do so by the time I woke up.
