Dream in the morning
Feb. 8th, 2006 11:38 pmDon't remember much of the overall dream, but it involved tracking down someone and/or something elusive, in a maze-like seperate dimension.
One thing I do remember, in the last "chapter" of the dream, right before I woke up, was the realization that it was possible to get out of the maze by passing directly through the walls, via the empty spaces in the higher level quantum dimensions inside the atoms within the walls and furniture of our prison.
But there was a catch (isn't there always?): if we took such a path, it would lead us into the past of our own lives -- by decades. This would get whoever traveled by this means outside the prison forever, but there was no similar shortcut into the future (or, the present, depending on perspective) except to wait out the decades. And there was a very real danger the person could die in the meantime.
Right before I woke up, I distinctly remember the phrase: "Dead in five years, from cancer."
...I think it must have been an anxiety dream about my dad.
But. Yeah. Man. What a great idea for a sci-fi story, huh? Wouldn't that basic premise make a great movie?
