Dream Machine

Exploring the boundaries between reality and imagination

  • dreams
  • technology
  • consciousness
  • future
  1. You're asleep in the warm ocean,
  1. The warm ocean that creates sparks.
  1. Sparks not of flame or Joy
  1. But sparks of irresistible temptation
  1. Temptation that demands attention.
  1. Attention that distracts you,
  1. Drifting away are you…
  1. Drifting away are you…
  1. From one dopamine source to another
  1. From one swipe down to another
  1. From one message to another
  1. From one notification to another
  1. From one dopamine source to another…
  1. We're all asleep…
  1. We're all asleep
  1. Asleep in the warm ocean of chaos
  1. The chaos of glittering sparks
  1. We're all asleep!
  1. Funny
  1. Funny and Ironic
  1. That we need to sleep to wake up
  1. Wake up from the misery of chaos
  1. In our dreams are we awake….
  1. In our dreams are we awake!
  1. With the power to hold a singular thought
  1. A singular force of attraction
  1. That centers the universe around it
  1. With that powerful thought comes freedom
  1. Freedom
  1. Freedom from Dopamine,
  1. Freedom from doomscrolling
  1. Freedom from sparks of attention
  1. Freedom from your sensory jolts
  1. This is us! We dream to wake up
  1. So I say
  1. So I say let us wake up to dream
  1. Turning the sparks of distraction
  1. Into an ocean of information
  1. Whose waves exist only to be surfed upon,
  1. And danced with.
  1. Let us turn those external oversensory sparks
  1. Into the glint in our eye
  1. The eyes that light up with an Idea
  1. An Idea so addictive, so obsessive, so demanding
  1. So demanding that you're helpless
  1. Helpless and Stuck!
  1. Stuck and Focussed!
  1. Focussed to be one with the ocean!
  1. Focussed to be one with the ocean!
  1. That ocean of distractions
  1. Distilled into an ocean of ideas,
  1. Ideas powered not by the dopamine of chaos
  1. But liberated with the thread of love
  1. And in that love-powered-idea
  1. lies the dream-machine
  1. The dream-machine that shoots clouds
  1. Clouds of reality bending spirits
  1. Capable of turning your dreams into a reality
  1. And that, my friends, is Meaning!
  1. The Meaning that makes you dumb
  1. Dumb and Numb
  1. From external distractions
  1. Distractions away from the self
  1. Distractions away from purpose
  1. Distractions away from the dance
  1. Distractions away from the Joy
  1. Dumb and numb from these distractions
  1. And that, my friends is Meaning…
  1. Meaning that puts you on a path
  1. a path where small steps bring joy
  1. a joy with the journey
  1. a journey towards a goal
  1. a goal that is the journey
  1. And that, my friends is meaning…
  1. Meaning that reminds us of the ocean
  1. The ocean of the flow
  1. The flow of the mind
  1. The mind that sees no time
  1. That, my friends, is Meaning!
  1. The meaning that makes us wake up
  1. Wake up to be ocean surfers
  1. surfing in the chaos
  1. with intent and passion
  1. The intent and passion that
  1. brings back the glint in our eyes
  1. our eyes of laughter
  1. the laughter of the moment
  1. the moment that brings love
  1. the love powering the dream machine
  1. the dream machine that is viral
  1. Wake up!
