I dreamed some kids had figured out that those big digital clocks you see outside of banks were programmed using infrared, so they built a huge lighthouse-like IR spotlight to reprogram them remotely for laughs

I noticed because my parent's house (which had one of those external clocks) was showing 9:2 as a time, which I thought was just a bad way to format 9:02, but then it got weirder, with times like 702:U

so I used my phone's camera as a way to figure out where the IR was coming from, and found the kids hanging out by some telescopes. my brother and I chased them off

my brother tried to find the code they were using to drive the IR lights but he found the subversion repo was password protected, but it turned out that repo was just being used to store the (physical) configuration of the telescopes

on the walk back home my brother and I nearly got blown up by a failed missile test, and we were prevented from running away from the unexploded ordinance by an idiot hospital director, who thought the rockets looked pretty

we convinced him we were going to join a national wrestling/bullfighting team as an excuse to get away from the rockets, and explained we were part of the white & blue country.

so we went to canada/bulgaria and they let us in for being american, but our hospital director friend got mad because one of the border agents had a dog with them at their job.

this turned out to be because the dog couldn't tell we were part of the white and red country, because dogs are colorblind!

we pointed out we said we were part of the white and blue country, and he explained he forgot because he's colorblind too

apparently the kind of colorblindness that makes you forget what colors people tell you

so we went into the theater where we were going to perform, but at the moment it was being used by some kind of jug band and a bunch of people playing with a quantum pillar

the quantum pillar looked like a big mirrored cylinder, and caused random effects if you ran into it at enough speed.
usually this meant getting teleported within like 20 feet

sometimes it would just not teleport you and you'd run into it like a brick wall

this is how my brain works
