My internet is down and I'm posting this from a cafe. Once internet comes back I'll try to edit the posts and add more dreams.
Hacking into the DreamNet
I was in the car with my mother. We were driving through a parking lot when I met eye contact with a girl I used to know. I hadn't seen her since elementary school but I recognized her and the way she looked at me. For a few seconds, we locked eyes.
I was back in the car. I had just given the time to that man when I looked back at my watch and noticed that the time had completely changed. It now read 2:39. At first, I felt bad for giving the man the wrong time, but I was certain that the watch had read 5:12. I looked back at the watch again and it read 10:40. Was this a dream? I looked at my hands and they had five fingers and a thumb. This was a dream.
I first wanted to complete the most important task at hand, but clarity was lacking. I willed it to be fixed and it was. I noticed that I was wearing my pajamas still.
I needed to find a computer in this parking lot, and the best place was probably the SEARS across the street. I went inside. I wandered around and shouted a bit until I found the tech section. They were selling mini computers. They were no bigger than 6 inches tall and 4 inches wide. It was cool. I took a wire from the computer and decided that I should connect it through my head. It was a black wire with a smaller metal connection. At first, I couldn't get it in right but eventually pushed it in hard enough (no sex jokes).
Immediately I started hearing strange noises. The world I saw around me was the same, but I heard something strange. At first it was like a buzzing in the air. A whooshing and hissing of sorts. It turned into voices of people around me and then voices of people around the globe. I could hear them dreaming.
I walked around the store, still listening to the net I had been connected to. I saw an old piano and pressed down on one of the keys. It was off tune. I played a simple Ode to Joy and it sounded like a wicked tale. I put both hands on the keyboard and completely improvised to see what I would play. It was an interesting green tune, pretty yet disharminous.
When I was finished, I noticed that my connection to the dreamnet had diminished. I decided that I needed to find a more heavy duty wire. I needed a big ass wire that could carry out some badassery.
I'm not even sure what these wires are called - I have seen them before in reality, but back in the 90s. They are huge compared to normal wires.
I connected one of those wires to the computer and then to my mind, forming a serious and lasting connection to the net. This time, I heard and saw more. My experience was still auditory heavy, perhaps just because that is how I am, but I also saw a few visuals.
I heard everyone dreaming, their voices and thoughts had become intertwined into a music, a hard base trance music, that had turned into an acid trip at a rave. Lights danced around me as I felt dreamers from France, Belgium, the UK and all around Europe and the world.
