*'''Detail:''' We were both holding candy-filled milkshakes, something that I had never really eaten even when I did eat that kind of stuff. I had no interest in my milkshake, but then I suddenly started racing my father to finish our milkshakes.

:'''Purpose:''' Translator node generated this. I have mostly avoided eating with other people for the last decade, since I can’t eat at regular mealtimes and no restaurant serves everything that I eat in a meal. I have no desire to eat the foods that I used to eat before my body started directing my diet. However, not eating like a normal person has caused the occasional social issue. I’ve had problems with both accepting shared food and going out to eat with others. This has happened with family, this has happened when dating, and this has interfered with my career. A few months ago, I asked Translator if there was a way to have an occasional social cheat meal of sorts, where I would occasionally eat more like a normal person for one meal. There was a long internal discussion that I was not privy to. The end decision was that a social cheat meal would be acceptable an absolute maximum of once every two weeks. As of writing this, I haven’t even tried it out yet. However, this dream was to inform me of an update to that rule. Translator put the social milkshake drinking race in this dream to inform me that after the recent overhaul rebuild event, the minimum amount of time between social cheat meals has reduced. Instead of every two weeks, I can be encouraged to eat outside my normal diet, for social reasons, everyone and a half weeks. A minor difference to me, but since I came up with the social cheat meal idea, Translator found it important to bring the update to my attention. I have yet to have even one social cheat meal, so I don’t think the reduced spacing is going to change much for me.

:'''Purpose:''' A meta system node wants my attention outward instead of on the network. It thinks that I don't have my attention outward enough lately. This is a new need after the overhaul rebuild event. Other systems are complaining to it because everyone wants to see what they can do in their new setups. They want outward attention to help them run their tests. This has nothing to do with sitting in a van. The meta system node tried its best to convey its need, but it was way off.

Three details of the same dream. Three different nodes adding each detail, each for different reasons. This is the normal process of dream generation. On top of this, nodes will purposefully kick you awake so that you are more likely to act on what they just brought to your attention. They are well aware when they are making a dream stressful, and they are aware if their actions are going to wake you up. Waking you up is sometimes an accident, but it’s usually on purpose and they are always aware of when it’s about to happen. Their awareness of the waking process is never a false alarm.
