Dream: Hidden Agenda
I had this crazy dream where I was in school, but somehow found out about something that wasn't going right. As I started investigating it, I became aware that the powers that be were on to me. Thus began both the actual chase and the information battle. Since I knew they were on to me, I had to somehow convince them that my investigation lead to me believing what they had wanted someone who investigated the issue to believe. A school official of some sort approached me as if by accident, just to ask how things were going. It was this that gave away they were on to me. Instead of waiting to be asked, I immediately told him about how I had read something recently about the school and that my conclusion was that the school was right. I wish I remember what the issues were. I knew I would have to be more secretive in my investigation, while at the same time putting forth an image of what I wanted the school to believe I was up to. I remember casually walking away from the official so as not to arouse suspicion. Thats the last thing I remember.Information theory is very interesting. I tried reading the Cryptonomicon, which covers this topic in great detail, but could not get through the terse boredom. I may have to revisit it at some point.

You should definitely finish Cryptonomicon. I recall it being slow to begin with, but it's good.
On the topic of dreams, I've been leaving NPR's Morning Edition on the radio while I go to sleep, and it's a source of very interesting and very unusual dreams :)
