Culmination Of A Long Running Dream

I don’t know how long the dream has been running, how many times I have had a variation of it, but tonight I had a breakthrough that made me understand a structure within the dream. I am talking about the structure of the hotel in which the dream transpires, and the 5 floors of the 4th wall of the hotel.

The hotel was itself constructed around an inner courtyard of tropical splendor, fountains and marble pathways. This was a hotel for the rich, no idea how I ended up there before you ask.

I only remember the end of this dream and the breakthrough in knowledge it afforded. I was trying to understand something about the structure of the 4th wall of the hotel, and this understanding was crucial — for some reason, you know the logic of dreams — to halting a development in the great trains that spanned the globes, and the cars. It would prevent some sort of full-scale automation, AI, and robot threat from arising in the near future.

Again this dream had been running for a while and I didn’t remember anything really of what went before but I and my small reconnaissance robot were talking with a concierge of the hotel, we were asking him about the structure.

So as my memory fades in — we have somehow convinced him of the importance of what we are doing, but he does not understand our mapping of the structure because we are completely off on what each floor contains. Or I should say off on what floor 5 and floor 4 contains. I ‘m not sure if we were off on what the other floors contain, for this reason he has agreed to come with us, or more accurately told us to follow him and he will show us.

We are on wall 3, he takes us all the way up to floor 5 of wall three and then through the connecting doorways into wall 4. And here we are — on the floor that has no doorways except the one that is all the way to the end, that is white and freezing, and the door to the steps down.

I have seen this floor before in my explorations of the hotel! It is creepy and scary.

But the concierge explains, this is the hall of the patient, he is behind the final door, dying. We must tread lightly. We go through the door to the stairs.

I had been asking him, the concierge, earlier about this hallway, I had been confused, sometimes I could reach and sometimes not.

Now we go down the stairs to the next floor, I know what floor this will be, it is the floor of the business meeting, the offices in which the decision that will lead to the AI uprising and millions dying and the downfall of civilization will be taken here in these offices.

It is however not the offices. It is the restaurant. This has happened to me before, I come down to the offices and the restaurant is here. I have had this happen in the other dreams. Why and how does it happen? What is wrong here!?

The concierge is also confused, but he moves to a sort of alcove in the restaurant and goes in, we follow. Sitting in this private alcove, at a table eating is the owner of the hotel. He is also the owner of the great railway company that will bring about the end of humanity.

This is very strange because I don’t remember the start of the dream or all the other versions of this dream I’ve had. Ok I sort of remember the other dreams, having woken up from them and thinking about parts of the hotel and how everything fits together but then of course I forget that because I have lots of stuff to do.

But now I remember about this company and that this is the owner of the company. He sort of looks like Higgins from Magnum P.I

The concierge goes and asks him — what happened to the offices that used to be here, the offices of the combined railway company — can’t remember the name of it. And he says oh you won’t be seeing those offices here again — the company has divided and some other company has been formed of the railroads that run east west — it is for some reason a world in which rail is still king. When he says this I see a sort of infographic in my mind of the company splitting and the train graphics representing the other company fading to a light gray to signify they are no longer part of the main company.

I also realize why we’ve been having this problem of floors having different things in them when I go at them from different directs etc.

It was mind blowing in the dream — the fourth wall of the hotel and the floors that are there exist not just in space but also in time. The earlier meeting has taken place on this floor approached from another direction but now — the meeting has turned out well, humanity is saved, we are here in the future, and this man who I always thought was a villain has in fact done the decent thing and saved humanity and up above on the fifth floor — in the future — he is dying.

The realization is so big and earth-shattering in the dream that it wakes me up.
