You must be foreshadowing the new NeXt TiMe v1

Just had one hell of a nightmare thatās not implant related but I wanted to post it somewhere.
I was dreaming about being at my desk when all of a sudden I felt a rather strong vibration on the back of my neck, along with intense heat and pressure. The heat radiated all the way down to my feet.
Somehow, the thought of a malfunctioning microwave is the first thing that crossed my mind during the dream and I woke up swearingā¦
This is probably the worst nightmare Iāve ever had.

I read that as havana effect at first while half asleepā¦
As funny as that is, I canāt get myself to believe it. Maybe I should pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster for protection?

Well, itās been almost 20 years since my first implant, and last night I had a dream about implants for the first time. It wasnāt any implant I actually have thoughā¦ I had a dream where I had a fictitious implant that internally linked muscles in my upper back with my lower backā¦ basically it was an assistive device to take some of the pressure off my back muscles. Yes Iāve reached the age where back problems are becoming commonplace, and I woke up with a sore backā¦ so all night I was dreaming about some sort of implant that helped address the problem. I then got x-rays taken and shared them here on the forumā¦ then I woke up.
Is it odd that Iāve never drempt of my actual implants ever?

A bit. My first dream about implants and augmentations was back in 2007, although it was way over the top compared to current technologies. And I didnāt know at the time about you or whatās under your skinā¦
I reached that age during my teenage yearsā¦ 
And I recently hurt my left foot and Iām really wishing that I could go full robot and not have to deal with all of this. Besides, Iād be more comfortable in my āskinā. Anyways, I hope that Iām not getting annoying with this little obsession of mine. 
The desire to add metal to reduce pain is relatableā¦

Couple nights ago, had my first implant related dream (that Iāve remembered).
After chatting with the driver of the school bus/van about how much more maneuvrable the shorter bus was and about the metre that indicated that the oxygen supply in the cabin was still non-toxic enough that policy didnāt require him to evacuate the students, I got off at school and clocked in by stamping the back of my left hand with my arrival time to prove I hadnāt played hookie. When I did this, I noticed a couple things (besides the possibility of playing hookie after getting stamped in).
One was that the key was still in the stamp, meaning I could adjust the readings of the stamp to forge whatever time I wanted, so naturally I immediately started looking around for some putty to make a copy of the key, not because I needed to or had any plans of cheating the system, but just because I could. I wished I had some of that ferromagnetic putty I saw on the DT forums, or any kind of putty, but I couldnāt find any.
The other thing I noticed when I was looking at my arm was that the entry point where I implanted one of my chips (probably the flexSecure) had stretched out and swollen up all red, soft, and puffy. The deeper skin was still intact, not bleeding, but the outer layers of skin had scrunched outward to make a wide cavity on the surface, and the skin around the cavity was all bunched up and wrinkled in big ripples of soft swells where the flesh had migrated outward away from the central cavity. It wasnāt bleeding, but it was all messed up and I didnāt want it to get infected, so with some resignation I decided I probably ought to do the responsible thing and prioritise treating it rather than trying to steal a copy of the school time stamp key.
So I put the stamp back and I squeezed a thick line of silicone gel into the cavity to fill in the hole and grabbed some bandages. It was difficult to apply the bandages, since my stamped left hand was on the end of the same arm as the wound I was trying to dress, I had to use my other hand on the side of that arm to hold the wound closed, and my other other hand on the other arm to apply the bandages. Now, I donāt think I will dox myself too badly by clarifying that IRL I have precisely two hands and theyāre each located at the end of an arm. But this was a dream.
Trouble was, the hand on the side of my arm, holding my wound closed, it kept getting in the way of the bandages. I think I was trying to apply the bandages with the same hand reaching around itself from behind. That is, Iām not sure I had three hands, I just had my right hand twice, and it was coming up behind itself pac-man style to try to put the bandages under itself, but it was getting in its own way. Either that, or my fingers from the stamped hand were trying to bend backwards or twist the wrist around to apply the bandages on itself, or drop the bandages on its own forearm using gravity. One way or another, the bandages just kept on ending up getting caught in the webbing of my fingers on the hand that was trying to pinch the skin back together.
That is all.

Had my first notable implant related dream. All others it was some kind of mention and nothing more.
I had some sort of goofy fever dream where not much was making sense. Lots of blood, mildly dystopian setting. Not much is relevant in the beginning, but all you need to know is I and a few others that in my mind were either coworkers or accomplices were running through some kind of underground tunnel to either get to safety or run from dangerā¦ Something to do with a large company or organisation. I had a sealed implant with me for some reason, and needed a way to install it (donāt question it, I didnāt). I brought it up, and one of my accomplices said he could do it, and asked where. I said L4.
He pulled out a pocket knife, wiped it and me down with an antiseptic towelette of some kind, and did a scalpel install of the unidentified xSeries while we were both standing. I taped it closed in a rush and we kept going.
Our destination was some kind of small building. Imagine some kind of modern or dystopian metal witchās hut. I went in, had an uncomfortable conversation with a woman in her 40s who wanted to harm me in some way. I was not allowed to leave but I snuck out.
She came after us and I was the only one with a firearm. It wasnāt working so I had to entirely de-assemble and re-assemble it. It was a pretty normal pistol on the outside, but the internals included a bunch of electronics for some reason. It also took smaller, weird ammunition.
After getting it to work and removing the danger, I had a minute to sit and think. I rushed deciding where I wanted this implant and new nothing about it. Not a great feeling, but oh well. I scanned it with my phone and it had some sort of new or future version of Magic MIFARE on it (like not classic 1k either), and (I know this isnāt how it works but dreams are goofy) it was 16mm long and 2.1mm wide.
I then realize thereās an implant by my right kneecap.
Then I realize there are about half a dozen around my right kneecap.
Then I realize there is another one or two on the backside of my left knee. Iām confused and have no clue what all of these are for, or who installed them. I would have no reason to get implants in my legs at this point, so I get very concerned.
Then I woke up and I realize I really had to pee.

I had a weird dream last night in which I had to buy an injectable medication for a family member, but forgot to buy the required syringes and needlesā¦ So I looked in my first aid kit and gave him a few new syringes and 8ga needlesā¦
For some reason, my unconscious now considers that a normal size for a needleā¦ I guess that Amal really got under my skin.

Last night I had a dream that @enginerd posted in The antiš«-derailmentš & threadš§µ hijackingš« threadš§µ ā about having had a dream about something I posted in The antiš«-derailmentš & threadš§µ hijackingš« threadš§µ ā. I donāt remember what it was Iād posted in the dream, but I think it had something to do with a hopeful EGG implant experiment Iām eager to try once I get some of my other projects out of the way. A dream about a dream about a dream about jabbing electronics in my head.

I had a dream about getting more implants recently, but forgot to post it here. Nothing weird or interesting TBH.

I had a literal nightmare that I hit my implant and it stopped working and because it was such a lucid dream, I believed it had actually happened the night before when I woke up and had to come to terms with needing to get it replaced. took a good 10 minutes before I checked my implant and saw it still work.
the other day when the yubico auth app stopped working with the apex flex, I genuinely thought I had broken my implant like in my nightmare and was already kind of ready for the disappointment hahah

So i had a dream that the NextV2 came in. But the updated packaging was a tiny Cereal box (Count Chocula). Enough for one bowl.
Inside was a small blister pack with the implant in it and you swallow it and kind of massage it into the area where you want. When it is where it is supposed to be you are supposed to scan it and it sets up permanantly there.
Never really had a dream about implants with as much specific clarity before.
