Golden Ratio Fractal Patterns
Dexter's most recent vivid and remembered dream involved a very interesting phenomena: Golden Ratio Fractal Patterns.

He was on the spaceship Voyager (Yes, Dexter is something of a Trekkie!) working at the bridge's navigation control when the ship received an order to investigate an unknown phenomena. Upon encountering this phenomena (which was never identified) the Ship went through it as if it were some transdimensional conduit and zipped away in a flash of light but at a strange angle that seemed obtuse to the direction the ship approached it from. It was a sudden encounter as if it were something they hadn't expected to do and we found ourselves in a gray space. It wasn't quite nothing but there wasn't anything there either. Their sensors quickly picked up another ship in the vicinity. It was the spaceship voyager but it was a little smaller than their own. Then another...and another. They kept picking up new voyagers, including copies of the crew and all that were progressively smaller versions appearing in a sort of strange spiral format. When Dexter received an order he went to carry it out but found that they no longer recognized his presence. The scanners had picked up a crash between two of the other vessels. Dexter isn't really sure how it all went down but he does remember following Janeway around the bridge talking to people trying to figure out what was going on and reading displays. He was wishing he could communicate with them but had already become aware that that couldn't recognize him. Furthermore he had become aware of why. On one of the ship that crashed into the other he had died. He began to deduce what was occurring. Wherever they were, it was a strange nexus among parallel universes. where multiple versions of the voyager space craft were entering the nexus. In each alternate time line it had taken Voyager progressively longer, for various reasons, to enter the transdimensional conduit. Somehow each parallel universe that occurred was somehow slightly smaller than, or less than, the original. Dexter was also aware that the ships were appearing in a conical spiral following the patterning of the golden ratio.
Golden Ratio Fractal Patterns, Multiple dimensions, parallel universes and the like have always interested Dexter and been a subject of great interest to him. Recently he had been studying them in conjunction with quantum physics and mystical concepts. This idea he has that all of existence is in fact one great fractal pattern. Including human consciousness to which this would mean that human consciousness is possessive of control over the entire universe in some fashion. Moreover Dexter has had fractal experiences in conjunction with his entheogenic insights. Though they were not recognized as such to begin with...a pattern is beginning to emerge for him. Many LSD and psychedelic users also report vague to concrete fractal experiences of a kind. This being one of the reasons Tye Dye T-shits were popular in the 60's & 70's among hippies & LSD users.

Has anyone else had fractal experiences? Dexter was considering adopting the fractal as his LD cue since he has yet to adopt one and it is vague and yet equanimous to be perceived in a multitude of formats within and story.
Furthermore, If Dexter's theory about Human consciousness being the greatest power in the universe is correct, then he thinks the fractal as an LD cue might stimulate latent consciousness abilities within his mind.
