Dream was accidentally correct (or intentionally?)
In the dream I was watching some kind of athletic exhibition where college athletes were competing to jump over hurdles. They were reaching previously impossible heights like 20 feet.
In the dream I was thinking a sequence of thoughts that I'd already done in waketime:
Superstar syndrome. There's an extreme difference between these superathletes and normal youngsters. Normal youngsters are getting fat and lazy. No, that's an old misimpression. Around 1990 it was probably true for a while, but most young folks now seem normal-sized, not fat.
After waking I noticed that the self-calibration in the dream repeated the existing sequence in waketime. I always have to recalibrate old misconceptions.
BUT: After three months of house arrest, the misimpression will now be true. Especially in OCD households that are strictly enforcing absolute arrest, even when the government isn't QUITE enforcing it. Those kids are not getting the twice-daily outside recess in school, and not getting any outside play at all. They WILL be fat, atrophied, and starved for sun and fresh air. It will take a couple years to restore their health, and in the states where the siege continues forever, those kids are doomed to an extremely early death.
