Back when we first started MC I used to have dreams all the time. Not like I was in MC, but more like everything was a placeable block. Couches were 6 blocks wide, end tables 1, lamp 2 (tall), cat block 1, dog block 2 (German Shepherd), etc., etc. Really fucked with me for a bit. It went away after a while, but since we've gotten into Tekkit I've had a few.

It wasn't the new items, it was because of the ability to saw blocks into smaller and smaller chunks - and then put those chunks together to make blocks. A perfect example is the anticover. "Take block, slice in half. Take that half, slice in half. Take that half, slice in half. Put first half and second half together to make a block. Put that block and the third half together to make a block. Anticover get!" Holy. Fuck.

I had so many 1/8th (and every /8th) dreams after that it bled into waking life, where I would semi-consciously measure something in half, quarters, then eighths and mentally put one of those measure marks over it with decreasing lines to indicate .5, .25, .125.

Of course, I was making shit-tons of every iteration (1/8th to 7/8th) for the Creeper Kingdom - and then placing them in vertical order to make 1/8th increment sloping walls - so I'm sure that's the cause, but holy hell. It's amazing what concentrating on something like that for so long can do to your "real" life.


tl;dr: MC fucks with teh head.

So it goes.
