I went to bed confused, unable to set my intention for the trip. Then I find myself standing, unable to move. Before me are two moving screens. On the left: a young man. Beautiful. Vibrant. Full of life. Light seeding through him.
On the right: a young man. Beautiful. Vibrant. Full of life. Light seeding through him.
I think, Am I dreaming?
I check.
I am.
I focus my sight on the left screen and see him. I turn my sight to the right screen and see him.
It is the same man.
“Hello. What’s your name? Where are you from?”
I feel him smile from both screens.
It is one smile.
I think, I want to move now.
I feel myself frozen while everything around me moves. Everything but me.
I take a deep breath.
Right before the next inhale, I hear myself say:
Listen. Look.
Something switches on.
Then I see what the movement is. People. They are coming toward the young man from every direction.
I turn my cheek fifteen degrees to the right and watch. I turn to the left and watch, as though one screen at a time is all my eyes and ears can bear.
And this is what I see.
