I am either in university, or in hotel in company of programmers of both
genders. One of them suggests to show a new BBS. We go to the other room -
huge warehouse, few computers, but mostly shelves with new "Star Wars"
books. The sysop connects to the BBS, I look at the display. He explains
that BBS is located in Moscow, but international call is cheap because it's
night time. On the screen, instead of expected logo, I see 3D virtual
reality world, at the same time I hear way cool music in stereo. I am
beginning to get the feeling that everything is a bit too impressive. I went
to a corner of the room to do self-test. I looked at the watch - I was
right, minute hand is jumping back and forth and some numbers on the clock
face keep changing. At this point I took iniative into my own hands and led
one of the girls into another room.
Almost instantly a sysop entered thru the balcony. Thinking, for a good
reason, that in the lucid dream I am the master, I sent him mental command
to go to the galaxy far, far away. Instead, he said:
At this point he got tired of explaining and left, telling as he went, that
I can read about it in the newsgroups and mentioning devil. By that point my
head was spinning so much, that I thought "Oh yes, os2.devil.advocacy!".
I also wanted to ask him, what happens if I imagine a bridge going out of
the window and I walk on that bridge - would he be able to follow me ? But
he was already gone. I'll ask him if we bump into each other in the future.
Or in the past.
Anyway, I see 2 variants: either he was right and there is a shared Lucid
Reality, which you can enter thru some other entrance (which sounds pretty
exciting); or he was a creature of my personal shadow side which wanted to
spoil my fun.
