Reading dreams and unsustainability

I had a strange dream last night. I dreamed I was buying an old steam locomotive. The auction where it was sold took place in some pretentious mansion. The locomotive had served as a decoration there and was no longer functional. I remember trying some tricks to eliminate competitors. A few of them succeeded, and in the end I was the successful bidder. Immediately after buying it I remembered that I didn't have any use for it. So I tried to argue with some archaic law that the transaction had been unlawful. The law I used forbade selling anything to someone if they didn't have the room to store it. The auctioneer was prepared for that. His reply was that if I really didn't have a place to move the locomotive to, I could leave it where it was. But I still had to pay the money. The strangest part about this dream, though, is that I remembered it.

I usually don't remember my dreams. The only case when I'm remembering them is when I dream them during a doze in a morning after a sleepless night. I didn't sleep well last night. On Monday I wrote about how I'm started or organise my time. On Tuesday, I knew my current plan was unsustainable. I tried to pull through nonetheless. But when my brother called me yesterday, I jumped at the opportunity, abandoned all my plans, went for a walk and talked with him for over an hour.

Doesn't this dream show the same behaviour? Is it not a perfect example for short term thinking? Doing something by any means possible without thinking about whether it's sensible to do. Too late you realise that you actually don't want to do what you started. So you try to use any form of obscure justifications to escape your commitment. Except telling the truth and admitting that you made a mistake.

Time is still my most precious asset. I will continue to timebox. And part of my plan was an experiment. I knew I would forget some things, so I started with the intention to improve it over time. I didn't think, however, that it would only take two days to see how wrong my original plan was. Because there's definitely something wrong if you think that you don't have time to go far a walk or work out.
