         I've had some kind of virus for the last two days. Fever, sore throat. Kind of like the flu, so nothing too unusual... except for one thing:
         
         At the peak of my symptoms, every time I tried to sleep I would be disturbed by the same recurring thoughts:
         I would see this vague, 2D map of shapes and pathways that I knew was supposed to represent the entirety of reality itself or something to that effect. Then I would zoom into one specific area, look at a shape (sometimes a 3D model, sometimes a drawn diagram), try to figure out something like its mathematical formula, and when the work was done there was a sense of capturing or framing the results (like taking a screenshot or printing out the results onto a T-Shirt). Immediately after solving one of these bizarre and abstract puzzles I would wake up, feeling irritated and bothered by the thoughts but still continuing to think through them while awake... until falling asleep again and starting a new puzzle.
         
         This went on for nearly an entire day I think.
         
         (Kind of similar to this thing in the movie Zero Theorem [also notice how frustrated the character is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5x6-3pfPTw)

         I do feel like I've got something.
         Throat's been scratchy, nose has been runny.
         No dreams about dudes with reality-altering maps, though.
         Not that I really dream anyway.

         I have a bad headache and seem to have fucked up my ribs somehow.
