I wonder I wonder what she would do if you had the power to dream at night any
dream you wanted to dream and you would of course be able to alter your time
sense and slipped say 75 years of subjective time into eight hours of
sleep you would I suppose start out by fulfilling all your wishes you could
design for yourself what would be the most ecstatic life love affairs banquets
dancing girls wonderful journeys Gardens music beyond belief
and then after a couple of months of this sort of thing at 75 years of night
you will be getting a little taste for something different and you would move
over to an adventurous dimension well there was sudden dangers involved
in the thrill of dealing with dangerous and you could rescue princesses from
dragons and go on dangerous journeys
make wonderful explosions and blow them up eventually get into contests with
enemies and after you've done that for some time
you'll think up a new wrinkle to forget that you were dreaming Serge you would
think it was all for real em to be anxious about it and then because to be
so great when you woke up and then you say well like children who dare each
other on things how far out could you get what could you
take what dimension of being lost of abandonment of your power what dimension
of that could you stand you could ask yourself this cuz you know you would
eventually wake up and after you're gone on doing this you see for some time you
would suddenly find yourselves sitting around in this room
with all your personal involvement problems etc talking with me how do you
know that that that's not what you're doing it could be we push technology to
its furthest possible development and we had instead of a dial telephone on one's
desk a more complex system of buttons and one touch beep would give you
anything you wanted Aladdin's lamp
you would eventually have to introduce a button labeled surprise because all
perfectly known futures as I pointed out are past they have happened virtually
it is only the true future is a surprise the divine wisdom was above all to be
compared with games because games are played for their own sake and not for
any sort of ulterior motive
