Word of the Day

Exobiology - Study of extraterrestrial life

Only noting this because I don't want to forget it.

Had the most intense dream last night. I was under a transparent dome. I think it was glass, whatever it was made of it was so clean and clear the nature of the material itself was undetectable.

I looked up to the Sky as I had never seen it. Billions of stars, set against an incandescent field of deep blue / black. I possessed an extraordinary order of cognition. I was able to discern each star, individually, and also apprehend the entire field at once. The normal limits of depth perception and focus did not apply. The atmosphere was entirely free of any light pollution, and hence billions of unknown / hidden stars were visible, perfect conditions in every regard. The number and resolution was indescribable. Ten thousand fold more fine and full than the photo above.

A wave of emotion swept my body, ecstatic wonder, gratitude. As the recess of my soul flooded with joy, the stars began to move. Thousands shifted in new formation and quickly assembled an entity. It broke through the protective membrane of the viewing facility. It passed the structural material without hindrence. I was terrified, threw some object at it, to no effect.

The entity (composed of millions of points of light) shot a beam into my body, I was paralyzed. The beam became a tether, into my belly. Energy coursed through my body. I was not in pain, other than my own fear. The entity sent messages, or information of some kind, into me. Not my head, or brain, but absorbed everywhere. Information, but no words.

I woke up laughing. Scared, but the reverberating sensation in my nerve endings (after awakening) was positive. I wanted badly to get back, sad I had woken. I felt a flat collapse, crestfallen to be back in my old senses & perception.
