A few friends and I were lost in a maze of twisty little passages, all different. This particular section of the maze was on a "fractal" theme: you would frequently find yourself with a choice of several directions to go that all looked alike except for scale, and in fact took you back to exactly where you had just been except that you were now larger or smaller relative to the passages. Very frustrating.

Separate dream: for several months now, I've had a series of dreams that feel like episodes in an ongoing TV series: in each one, I'm called on to fix one or more localized problems that were each caused by future-me traveling back in time to test present-me. Or maybe it was past-me traveling forward in time to test present-me: I'm not sure, and it's always been very confusing. Two or three nights ago came an installment in this series that appeared to be the series pilot, because it actually explained what was going on without assuming the viewer already knew. But I woke up and forgot the explanation. Very frustrating.

The idea of a fractal maze is an interesting one, with levels of scale that are self-similar but not identical...
