won't break. This entire time Max Harper is also trying to roll his window down as well, but he is
               just as unlucky as I am.

               Max Harper then grabs the grenade out of my hand, pulls up the metal window slider and tosses the
               grenade into the back and effectively kills all of the other soldiers to save our own lives.

               In another variation, it is Max who fumbles with his grenade and I am the one who tosses it in the
               back and kills every one. In another, after one of us throws the grenade in the back, we don't realize
               we've killed anyone until after we get out of the vehicle and open the back to find ourselves
               looking at dead bodies.

               There are also versions of the dream where there are no grenade explosions. In one variation we
               are driving along and we come to a traffic light that has no business being out there. As we
               approach it, we realize the traffic light is yellow, and it never changes. After a while, Max Harper,
               or whoever is driving in that variation of the dream, he starts to tell me that we can't fool ourselves.

               Each one of these variations always start out exactly the same, the other soldiers and I are walking
               alongside that dirt path, and then the dream unfolds into whatever it is going to unfold into. It's
               almost as if there is a start point and the end point is determined by the choices the soldiers and I
               make. Should we get in the vehicle? Should we continue to walk down this path?

               The start point can almost be compared to the beginning of the universe, if we agree that the
               universe actually has a start point, a beginning, and then all these things happen, and all of these
               decisions and actions are made, and this will become the story of the universe. However, in a
               parallel universe that starts out exactly the same way as the first universe, one simple decision or
               action may be altered, and because of this different action and different decision is made, this
               parallel story becomes the tale of this parallel universe.

               The location is always the universe as we know it, but like these dreams I keep having, no variation
               is ever the same. The universe has so many stories to tell.

               The one thing that keeps coming back to me with this idea, this concept, is this "theory" that as
               decisions and actions and the likewise are made and as time progresses, the less of a chance a
               nonspecific event has of occurring.

               In this explanation, the number of the point is the moment in time, and the letter or letters of the
               point is the variation of what happened at that certain moment in time. The amount of characters
               for numbers and the amount of characters for letters are always identical. Point 1a is the birth of
               one of your ancestors from over three thousand years ago. Point 10gv is the birth of one of your
               ancestors from one thousand years ago, made possible because of point 1a occurring. Point 100nkd
               is your birth, made possible because of point 10gv and point 1a occurring.

               As the number of points gradually increase in the same direction as time, or due to decisions and
               actions, the number of possible occurrences increases, and therefore the chances of each point
               becoming a reality decreases. Getting from point 1a to point 10gv is not likely, and getting from
               point 10gv to point 100nkd is even more unlikely. Consequences may instead land on 100rfd or the
