Sine: Collective Minds

I had a very wild dream this morning. It could very well turn into an interesting book/movie/TV series/game. In the dream a group of people started trying to develop a new and unique operating system for computers. However, they began work with incorporating technology and the human consciousness. The first thing they realized was that if they got people to unify their thoughts that they could communicate telepathically. Eventually they discovered that getting enough minds to work in unison gave the group the ability to use certain psychic/metaphysical abilities. In order to facilitate the unison of minds, they developed a chip that could easily be installed in the back of the neck. This chip allowed the person to “connect” with everyone else who wore the chip. Essentially this produced one collective mind, or rather used everyone in the “network” as a node in a biological super computer… which resembled one mind. This made them all super smart and by directing their thoughts on one purpose, they could use abilities like pyrokinesis, telekinesis, etc… The name of the chip was the Sine (Not sure why… I think it had something to do with the signal it transmitted). There was also a biological agent that they had to infect a person with in order for the chip to work properly. Some where resistant or immune to the virus that made up this agent, these people formed the resistance against the Sine.

The Sine didn’t care about anything but making the connection stronger and increasing their power. They only ate to sustain themselves but skipped “civilized” steps such as slaughtering and cooking their meat. They did have certain nodes who worked solely improving current or creating new technology but for the most part, the rest of the Sine spent their time trying to expand “The wave” by “recruiting” more nodes. If you where resistant to the agent they could still enslave your mind but you couldn’t think for yourself and thusly couldn’t actually act as a decent node. These people where used for hard labor. Individuals who the Sine found to be completely immune to the agent where killed on the spot. Imagine a world where technology has gotten to the point to where people ignore all things civilized and essentially become beasts and machines. There is no love, only power. The entire world was rather post-apocalyptic in appearance except for the few automated Sine cities. They used robots and the enslaved to maintain them. Read the rest of this entry »

This category (dream journal) is dedicated to my subconscious mind. Herein I will be a detailed dream journal. I’m essentially just using this part of my blog as an easy place to keep all of this crud in my brain. I would suggest that everyone create their own dream journals. They can be a useful therapeutic tool. Psychologist Carl G. Jung (1875-1971) believed that dreams where conduits to our unconscious minds. Keeping track of our dreams may help us understand the messages that this relatively unused portion of our brain may be trying to send us. Dreams also tend to be fairly entertaining, both to ourselves and to anyone else who hears them. They are odd and seemingly random although steeped in symbolism. You can pretty much guarantee that your unconscious mind will come up with a story you’ve never heard before. Dreams can also be a great source of inspiration. Many artists, composers, song writers, singers, etc… credit their dreams with inspiring them to create great things (including myself). In any case, the average person will sleep away one third of their life. During this time we dream and upon waking a great many of us forget the experiences we had during this time. Knowing this, it’s crazy that we actually forget about one third of our life experiences. Writing them down seems like a small effort with huge benefits if you ask me.

Expect much more,
Type to you later,
