Last March I had a dream in which the whole theme was "close your eyes and punch it" the punch it meaning floor it, as it was a car in the dream. It was speaking of change, of the unknown path, and sometimes you have to commit to the turn. You can't dawdle in the midst of the turn/intersection of change or you'll either get rear ended or side swiped. Even tho it's scary to go around a turn blind (change of what's ahead is always blind/unknown), when change is the direction, you've got to go forward. Sometimes hanging back will cause more harm. That still seems to be a theme for me as well. Change. This post really caught my eye, especially the title.

In one case, a letter took four hops to get from a dirt farmer in Nebraska to a grad student in Cambridge. The six degrees may actually work within the United States, or may work most the time, at least. It just won't work for every set of two random people in the world as originally stated.(Although, if you listen to the radio broadcast, they actually mention the "I like being 6 away from [celebrity X]" as one of the reasons people have held onto this theory with very little evidence.)
