Topic: Anyone else have recurring nightmares about the NSA and other USG bureaucrats? (Read 865 times)

You need to stop using Google. My I recommended duckduckgo.

I haven't watched a movie in... Idunno, I can't even remember. Probably over six months. Hollywood's an arm of the government, obviously.

ETA: That's not true. I've been watching older Miyazaki movies at a rate of ~1/mo.

You watch too many movies i think, but yeah it can make u paranoid this whole situation. 

I'm jealous of your ability to remember dreams to that detail 

But it could be some paranoia as a result of reading all these news stories about NSA's ability to spy on people. I tend to dream about the same things that worry me or piss me off.

Everything but the first and last sentence of OP is dream sequence.

Wait.. was that the dream sequence of events or did that actually happen?

If it makes you feel any better I discovered awhile ago RL that one of my friends who's actually really smart ended up working for the Bank of England, trust me, it's not paranoia just a weird take your dreams are having on the whole situation, I'm pretty sure everyone is weirded out by what's going on in our governments even if they won't talk about it much.

Well then again after reading more carefully, it might be you overreacting but it's certainly nothing to be weirded out over.

If I were truly paranoid, wouldn't I be worried about sharing this? -Or maybe I just have higher "brain layers" which try to compensate for the base level being paranoid. Oh, shit... I think they're in my mind, man!

Little's easier to take way out of context than search history, but police still use it as legit evidence anyway, presumably hoping to play on judge/jury ignorance.

After reading a news story, I Google common methods of murder. Later, I suddenly remember the names of a few people from school and wonder what they ended up doing.

Starting two days from that point, I'm texted, every day, the names of the people I Googled, and then called immediately following the texts. This isn't effective because I never answer my phone unless I manually added the person as a contact. My wife asks about it and I explain the goofy situation with no worry because I did nothing wrong. "ooooooookay." -And we go about our day.

Then, about a week in, a particular application is regularly launched in the background every day, but is not in any scheduled tasks I can find, while no unknown programs have privileges to do something like that. I immediately stop what I'm doing and wait him out (which is probably the most bizarre way possible to handle that, though probably not as odd as having someone in the NSA literally stare at a remote screen for his entire shift, but only his shift, for activity).

-But one day I'm too curious to resist. I open the application and see "Hey, man. I got some really cool porno sites and hacking stuff at [some URL]." That's the dumbest bait I've ever seen, so I know it's those paranoid lunatics at the CIA, probably helped by the NSA, and I know my life's over because I just admitted I use the computer.


That weird illogical dream stuff: The people Googled are never murdered, so I'd assume the charges, if any brought up, would be extremely minimal if a case could even be made.
