More Of...The SAME(TM)

frustratedpilotYes, I dreamt...like I usually do.
And yes, finding meaning in my sleeping apparitions as they relate to my current life is pretty darned HARD.
I'm beginning to think that somebody is going to introduce William Gibson's APPARENT SENSORY PERCEPTION or "Simstim"TM technology soon. (See also the movie Brainstorm.) Because bits and pieces of my dream experiences seem far to fictitious to make sense as actual life-going-on. What is truly bizarre is that after an initial use of "sense actors" in the roles of character/"camera", the art moves to 100% artificial realities/machine generated content.
I recognize in some of these threads of consciousness in the dreams that I'm not myself...either I'm in character as somebody else, filling somebody else's vision of life...or I'm in a completely different "incarnation", with nothing that matches my own operational systems.
And again, I have this urgent need to wonder what it means. Am I a maker, or an addict? Do I redefine my life using the coming technology and media? Is using the media the way I survive what is to come? Am I too rooted in reality, or not enough?
I can't stay here forever. Hmmph.
