Dream Log: Humans as Facts
Imagine all the people you know, not as people, but as collections of information, like wikipedia articles of their own lives. Written on what they’ve done and where they’ve been and who they know by everyone else in the world, and constantly updating as their life goes on and more events occur. Now that you’ve quantified this person, it’s easier to detach yourself from the concept that this face is this person, it’s easier to start drawing lines between people, easier to make predictions about the future when it’s all simple facts and figures. The concept of prophecy makes so much more sense when you detach the humanity from the human.
There was so much more to my dreams, but quite frankly I just don’t remember them. I forced myself to remember that, although the details aren’t quite all there from last night. That’s what I get for not just getting up and writing it down right then. I was, however, worried that since I had gone to bed so early I would just go ahead and wake up too much to get back to bed. Starting the day at 2am is a little too early bird for the likes of me.
