The Organism
Oh Man! I had the coolest damn dream last night!
So, there was a lot of the usual superfulous stuff in it. Like, for example, I was back in school again (this time it was an amalgation of High School and Community College). Also, in PE we had to race Push Mowers through a Corn Field. And Vernon Troyer (Mini-Me) was there. I was like, "Dude, why are you back in college?" and he goes, "I've got my future to think about." Anyway, none of that's important. Here's the important part:
In my dream there was a great Earthquake. Huge Earthquake. Split the city (or suburbs? Why was I in the city? And if I was in the city, how did I get to a cornfield later on?) Clean in half. And later, I'd discover the Earthquake had split the entire world in half. I then had a Dream Epiphany, and that was this:
The world is one cell, and after billions of years, that cell had subdivided. I imagined (how can you imagine when you're already in a dream) that throughout billions of billions of years, the cell would continue to subdivide, until it slowly transformed into an actual organism. A space organism of such collosal stature that we can't even really fathom its scope. And living both on the surface, as well as within this organism would be our descendants. Entire nations within this thing's colon, Republics being built on a fingernail. Would it begin to walk the universe in exploration, seeking out new sites, and possibly other Planetgods? Would it eventually find another one to mate with, leaving behind a new fertalized egg (much like those giant turtles) in the hopes that in the right conditions this planet would survive and thrive and walk the universe as well?
And then other ideas took hold (huh. Half my dream was day dream...). How would people react? Would they see the signifigance of this, or would they merely see the spontaneous generation of all of this new land as an excuse to go to war over unclaimed territory. I envisioned entire wars being fought over barren, rocky outcroppings.
Here's the really wierd part. The revelation that I was nothing more than a SUB-Microscopic organism growing on top of a fertalized egg actually didn't make me feel insignifigant. Kinda felt neat that I was a monster virus. Could be worse. Think of how insignifagant all the submicroscopic organisms growing all over me must feel. Oh to be a submicroscopic organism existing on a submicroscopic organism.
I could go on, but I feel the need to curtail this story. Twas only a dream after all...
