The Second Big Dream. The Digitization Nightmare.
I am in a city, there are roads and buildings
I am in a building
There is a digital world of communication going on, very intense
competition and stimulation-like a furious gaming world.
I go up a flight of stairs and at the top I see an old friend in front of the door of a room.
She is looking at me solemnly not saying anything. A previous mentor for me, E.
The room is quiet.
I leave the
building.
Going away from the city in the street I pass a group of
tribal representatives
Dressed in ritual clothing and
tribal masks and who are
singing or hymning in their native
tongues.
I leave behind the city.
On waking I have these insights and reflections:
I was walking through societal evolutions or devolutions.
I feel I journeyed through societal technological advancements but
that this acceleration of complexity caused increased stimulation,
competition and aggression. I retreated from this future reality and passed by older civilizations retreating from the hyper digital future.
Dream 1 and 2 makes me realize or think about how the lockdown of
society will promote Immersion into a tech driven world and new
digitally driven virtual reality, for those who choose such a reality or buy into the fear mongering and control driven society that the virus will promote. Those in power positions will no doubt exploit the
current millieu of fear for their benefit.
The alternative is to leave
the cities and live once again closer to nature, off the grid in a
less frenetic reality that I witnessed in dream 2. But to do so
will need getting past the fears and regulations as symbolized by the
fenced military scenario in dream 1.
But nature calls, nothing is being protected there I feel, but rather
we are being prevented from getting out of the system to Her, by the city that controls through many coercions.
But those who choose can leave.
