I was at the beach. I don't know who were these people who were there with me. As always, I remember it as if I had been floating without doing anything. I saw a lot of people moving around on the sand and doing things, and then they were playing volleyball. There was an inner drama much heavier than any game I had seen. The dream had been very long until now, but I don't remember the rest. People were very worried about losing, about war, about being injured, about beating the others out of nationalism, making deals and playing diplomacy.

Then, I saw a communication being sent. There was someone I interpreted to be a cleaner, carrying a broom (on a sandy beach) who sent a hidden communication to one of the players, a tall girl that looked somewhat similar to [Natalia Tena](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalia_Tena). She was a bit dishevelled and had a bit of a crazy look on her eyes. The communication was an offer to nuke the other team from the aircraft section of a country's military.

I checked my mental map and didn't think twice about the garbled geography.

Annotated with my mouse: Japan, Austria and Israel, and I was in the unknown country.

After checking my mental map, I concluded that it wasn't an offer from the nearest country, but one from the country to the left of the nearest country. I imagined Japan and the sea in between and decided that it was Israel that had offered to send the death squad to annihilate the other tennis team. No order was given yet, but after the game was done, I saw that the girl was picking out money out of her sweater's pockets until she got a bill that said 1 (I don't know what the currency was, but it might have been a dollar due to its greenness, and also there are no 1-bolivar bills). She was walking toward the coast with a purpose in her eyes. I knew she was going to take the offer and intended to pay them one measly dollar for an aerial sweep.

Then started a sort of dialogue. I was talking with a group of people. I don't remember any faces, so this might have been a voice-only conversation while I looked at the maps and the political situation. Someone said something about Japan sending a certain offer to aid in a military operation, but then someone (maybe myself) interjected that if Japan meddled, people might start to question the sheer size of their military compared to that of Austria. The number of soldiers in each army were 450 000 for Japan and 90 000 for Austria.

I don't know if this was right after that or if it was at some other moment. Someone told me that I couldn't do something, but I said: "No worries, I can do it on my BioOS". At that moment, I guess I didn't actually know what BioOS was, because a sort of explanation/promotional text appeared in my mind. It explained that just like [neologisms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neologism) pervaded in society, the scientific community had to coin terms all the time to describe the new technological advances and discoveries. This was the purpose of BioOS, an eye-embedded exploratory research tool that in this dream had the sole purpose of researching new phenomena and coining new terms.

I started seeing images of it. Whenever I commanded it with my mind, the images moved. At first, there were some very simple problems. I observed them and once I started getting the logic of it and was sure that I'd reach the answer in a few seconds, a sort of "success" image popped up and the problem switched to the next one. I was reminded of VSauce's documentary video where he explained that before we said or did something (as soon as we decided to do it), our brain already knew and was sending out so many signals around that electrodes could detect this decision. I found a [neat explanation](https://www.wired.com/2008/04/mind-decision/) of the phenomenon. I concluded that I had already solved the puzzle, but that I hadn't really finished processing that solution in my mind, but that my BioOS had accepted the answer as correct even before I was aware of it.

After the first simple problems concluded, I was presented with a sort of sudoku with not 9 but 4 sections. Each section had about 5 squares in length and width. The squares were mostly white, but there were a few blue squares (some very light blue and some of a darker shade, but still light, reminding me of [Github's activity measure](https://i.imgur.com/d2oDDMe.png) ([source](https://www.natashatherobot.com/streak-github-mistakes/)). I didn't know what the problem was or how to solve it. I started looking at it, looking for a solution, wondering what the coloured squares meant. I decided that maybe I had to find a way to join all the coloured squares so that they were all in the same section, and that it would be an all blue section and 3 white sections. I was starting to figure out how to mentally command the BioOS to turn the square around and play it like a Rubik's cube (while being 2-dimensional), but my very loud alarm rang (I forgot I had set it, and it's Sunday D:).
