I admit that I wasn’t sure and too lazy to look up the corresponding thread. 
Well, I know when I will die now.

Based on my dreams, no! 
Now you have two possible dates! 
Maybe you can include the predictions of Nostradamus too?

Is this similar to the Temple of Love?

Today’s dream was pretty interesting from a psychological point of view.
I vaguely remember the details that made the dream “a dream”, like the fact that part of the story happened while ordering a hot dog at a cafeteria and stuff like that. But the core issue made me think a bit.
I was at work, and a colleague of mine was explaining a problem he had to solve, which was definitely not related to our field, so he was having strong difficulties. Other colleagues were giving their opinion, and I was “desperately” trying to get their attention, since I knew the solution, since it was an algorithm from a paper I wrote during my PhD.
Instead, they kept on talking over me, ignoring me and discussing “problems” that weren’t there - or at least, that were there for those who don’t know the topic. It was like “I have to do this”, and I say “well, you have to do that” and one interrupts me and says “why don’t you try $other_useless_stuff?”, and then “I get this problem” and I say “yes, because you need to consider also these parameters” and another colleague “try to remove it by doing $completely_unrelated_thing” and so on.
It made me think because, aside from the obvious “I still feel inadequate at the new job because I’m the new one”, it was the first time I really missed my old field.

There was also a shopping mall where the elevator was some kind of narrow metal pipe with a spiral drill that brought to a videogame shop where they had a special version of a Nintendo where you could play a physical representation of the game (like, having to physically move a small Mario figurine on a board - but it was not a Mario game), but that’s my usual dream stuff.

That’s an interesting dream. Even though you feel inadequate, it’s like your brain is reminding you that you are very knowledgeable, although in another field 
Everyone at your job will have been the “new one” at some point, so hopefully they wouldn’t look down on you for not knowing everything.
Hm… I haven’t all 603 posts in my memory, but you seem to dream often about the relationship to your colleagues?
Last night I dreamed that I bought a single room(!) in a house. The bathroom was in the hallway. The room I bought looked like a mini version of a shop from the 60s, but it was completely empty and if I remember correctly on the first floor. Then I tried to get an insurance(!) for the room. Before I was able to contact an insurance company, I woke up.

Just one room? So were you still allowed access to the bathroom? 
Yes, I know that’s really odd. AFAIR I just wanted to prevent somebody else from buying the room and thus parts of the house. But I can’t remember who and why. It wasn’t explicitly stated that I’m allowed to use the bathroom, but it was clear that I can use it.

Now that I think about it, yes, it’s happened quite often lately.
But I think it’s normal, less than four months ago I left a job I loved in a field I loved with a team I loved and colleagues I was close to in a city I loved, and landed on a new job, a new field, a new city. Then two weeks ago the company underwent some organizational changes and I’ve been moved to yet another team, just when I was feeling part of my new team.
I suppose this will go away as soon as I find my way here, but it’s been a period of big changes for me.
Unless…you know…you move yet again.
This is something I’d hate even to imagine 
our next moving is planned in 20 years, when the daughters leave home for study or work and we go back to Italy enjoying our Swiss pension in the ever-cheap Sardinia

I highly doubt Sardinia will become more expensive than Switzerland in 20 years, but if it happens… I owe you a Coke.
