In this video, we discuss “House Of Suns” by Alastair Reynolds.
This book has some of the coolest science fiction ideas that I’ve encountered.
The work of Reynolds is absolutely riveting.
In this video, we discuss the “Vigilance” an ancient race of “Humans” who seem to have knowledge about one of the greatest mysteries in their universe, the disappearance of the Andromeda Galaxy. 👽
Elysium — When A Movie Has The Wrong Story | Anatomy Of A Failure
Part of this dream took place during the day in the city of D, and I remember being at the shopping center by W Park and across the street from it where Napa is.
I can not remember the details now, unfortunately, various things clearly happened in this dream, but I forgot most of the details when I woke up suddenly.
I just know that I was outside in this area, there were other people around too, and the dream jumped to the future.
This dream took place in outer space, there were at least two humans traveling in a spaceship, one was maybe a woman with light-color skin, and the other was maybe a man with dark-color skin.
They encountered a humanoid female entity or female alien, I can not remember if she had a spaceship or not, probably not, she was possibly somehow able to travel in space without a spaceship or spacesuit.
Once again I have to rush to type a post, and once again I remembered these dreams using some of Lost Truth’s advice that she gave on her post Tips On Dream Recall; I had more but I accidentally went back to sleep several times when going over them in my mind.
Dream 1
All that I can remember of this dream is that it took place during the day and I was at my parent’s house and I remember my former male classmate AK being there but I can not remember if he was inside the house or if he had just arrived outside the house on the front porch, either way, I remember us talking and walking outside off the front porch and on side of the front porch on the side of the yard that the dogs should be on.
I remember my former classmate AK taking out a large tablet computer-like device and I could see what looked like outer space on it with a lot of spacecraft, and he went to use the tablet computer-like device to lead a space battle again another large group of spacecraft in outer space.
I was not sure if this was a video game or simulation or if this was a real remote-controlled space battle, either way the scene shifted to a zoomed in view of the battlefield in outer space, and behind his opponents spacecraft was a large avatar of the character Ender Wiggin from the Ender’s Game movie and maybe it showed his name.
So Ender Wiggin and my former classmate AK were about to have a space battle against each other with them controlling or leading the spacecraft remotely I assume, but I am not sure if it was real or a video game or a simulation so I am not sure if real lives were at stake or not.
My former classmate AK was one of the smartest people I knew back in public school and so I was curious to see how he would do against Ender Wiggin, and I remember the battle starting with my former classmate AK sending all of his spacecraft to attack the left flank of Ender’s army.
I remember his spacecraft moving very fast and curving to the left flying erratically trying to confuse and surprise Ender.
My former classmate AK was obviously up to something clever, it was a risky and bold move, and I wondered what he had planned but I woke up.
Dream 2
All that I can remember of this dream is that it took place during the day and I remember being outside in a field of mostly women or all women, except for me and any other possible men who were there, and my aunt ME was having a street fight against a younger woman who looked like or was my former female classmate AR.
Most of the women seemed to be family and friends et cetera of each of the fighters, and so they were cheering and taunting and coaching and refereeing et cetera.
I remember seeing an old woman with dark-color skin holding a purse and moving toward the fight like she was going to attack my aunt ME so I moved in to stop her, but another woman who was a friend of my aunt ME stopped her first and warned her that no one was to interfere with the fight and that she was going to stop anyone trying to attack any of the fighters.
The old woman complained about how she hated my aunt ME and that she wanted to fight her next, the friend of my aunt ME said that she would have to wait another day to have a fight against my aunt ME, and the old woman was not happy with that response and so I assumed that she would try to attack my aunt ME again so I stayed closer to the fight ready to stop any attackers and to stop the fight as a referee if necessary.
My aunt ME was probably winning the fight surprisingly, oddly there was a downed helicopter that was in the field tilted to the side and the helicopter rotor was still spinning dangerously, and so the fighters could get chopped to death if they got too close to it and the fight got too close to it.
The old woman and some other people started to move in, a few of them acted like they wanted to push one of the fighters into the moving helicopter rotor, and so my aunt ME’s friend and another woman and me moved in to keep people back.
I made sure to keep the old woman back, which made her angry, and my former classmate AR got knocked down by my aunt ME near the helicopter rotor so my aunt ME moved back.
My former classmate AR was on the ground struggling like she was too afraid of the helicopter rotors to move and / or the wind from it was too strong, and so she was at risk of getting chopped to death.
A woman who seemed to know my aunt ME was yelling at and taunting my former classmate AR trying to make her give up I assume, this was working and my former classmate AR struggled and maybe even cried trying to get up as she got or was pulled closer to the helicopter rotor, and either she intentionally moved toward it or she got pulled toward it or she accidentally moved too close it and my former classmate AR got chopped by the helicopter rotor.
It was a bit shocking and gory, I just remember seeing blood and pieces flying out as the helicopter rotor chopped her up real quick, and I remember standing there in shock at this death.
My aunt ME was declared the winner and I saw the old woman reaching her hand into her purse and moving closer like she was going to pull out a gun and try to shoot my aunt ME, and so I blocked the woman and I probably told her to take her hand out of her purse so she did and I warned her against doing anything like that or she would have to deal with me and I did not want to have to get physical with an old woman but I would if I had to to stop her from murdering my aunt ME or anyone else.
The old woman realized that I was serious, and so she probably decided to try again when I was not around or to challenge my aunt ME to a fight and fight her another day; but I assumed that she would try to kill my aunt ME another day because after seeing this fight she probably realized that she probably could not defeat my aunt ME in a fair fight.
But I woke up.
This second dream was probably symbolic and probably represented something my mom told me last night in the real world about my aunt ME (my mom’s sister), but I can not say what she told me for privacy reasons but it is a life and death battle against something.
