I want to start this out saying that I've never had a dream that wasn't dreadful or awkward but a few days ago there was an exception. A good majority has faded since then but I can spell out the details. I remember going out my front door to a strong windy storm and walking towards the BART station. I had a hard time keeping my footing since the wind was strong and mighty. I walked down my hill and down to the boulevard next to the megaplex/office complex the next block over stumbling a few times along the way. Though there was something different there at the time, I recall talking to someone what the conversation consisted of I barely remember but after I was running up a staircase where the carpark is supposed to be, I felt like something important was there and I was chasing it and I remember reaching the top and entering a large room like an atrium where the sun shined brightly and a bird inside flying away through the light. At that moment I woke up and the video had ended.
The peculiar part about this dream is that as it was happening there was a video on my TV about the video game Deus Ex: Human Revolution. As some may know the game gives various insights in out transhuman/post-human future. It was a mini-documentary on the cyborgs of the present day, or people with high tech prosthetics who are able to go beyond their normal human capacity through them. I'm fairly intrigued by the ideas and insights given by Ray Kurzweil, Amber Case, Jason Silva and David Deutsch about the exponential evolution of technology and how the paradigms of evolution have shifted in that direction. I've been a gamer since a young age and have been surrounded by technology since then. Having knowing those insights excite me, they put me in awe and give me hope for a better tomorrow.
Here is the video that played on my TV while I was asleep.
In conclusion I need more time to ponder these symbolisms and connections and sooner or later I'll have formulated an answer to add to my inner self.
