    A message from the future

    About a year ago, I had the most interestig dream. I dreamt I met my future self. I had a message for myself in the dream. It was strange I looked different I had aged, my hair was different. I had sat up in bed in my pj's to talk to my past self. I was really curious what the message was that I had for me. My future self had one message, "don't be greedy".

    When I woke up from that strange dream it really left an impression on me. I know it was just a dream. But the message was so strange. I mean of all the messages to give myself. You would think I would have told myself the lottery numbers, but no. But I always remember that message and when I notice that I am going to do something greedy, I try to check myself. Even though it was just my own subconscious ramblings, the message was pretty powerful.

    If any of you could travel back in time and give your past self a message, what would you say? I thought this could be a fun thread.

    So I will go first. If I could go back in time and give my past self a message (although it might be pointless LoL) I would tell myself, "Hey life is short, time is precious. Don't get caught up in petty trivial things. Appreciate this moment because life goes by in the blink of an eye". "Oh and PS, chill on the Jose Cuervo brat! You are not Doc Holiday. LoL. Get a grip kid"!

    Well maybe I would just not give my teenage self any message, it really would be pointless. I would go back and give the message to my 23 year old self, when I became a normal human. Then I could scratch the PS.

    Interesting dream. I have a pretty good idea of what I would tell my younger self, but I wouldn't post it. My younger self likely wouldn't listen....

    As far as I know, I have not been visited from the future by me or anyone else.

    Things I would tell myself:

    No matter how it looks at the time, it's STILL not a good idea.

    Falling flat on your back from 20 feet up hurts. A lot.

    Don't change what you did, the pain at the time was a hellova lesson.

    Hug em' while you can.

    I'd tell my young self;

    Buy Microsoft, Cisco, Apple and Amazon on their IPO dates.
    Don't ride in a Pinto
    Wear a rubber with Misty

    Art thou every retard among us related to thine uncle or mistress by way of moral or illegitimate rendezvous? Thus, we are one side of the other's coin by luck or pluck. - Jimmyz
