Conversing with Ghosts★★
May 8, 1997

Oberlin College

I went to Mudd. I was looking for ghosts, and found them. They were circular and glowing. After doing little more than floating through me for a while, I made contact. It was either through a video machine or tombstone. A movie started playing on the surface, showing the 70s, with Mudd partially built. Next to it was the extra building from last night’s dream. I was so excited to recognize it and was convinced I had been dreaming about the past. There was a group of ghosts I conversed with through two computer windows open in the air before me (a Mac dream interface!). I asked them questions, took notes, and got their names — one was Link or Lars. Rebecca was there. Very cool dream!

References: Mudd is the library at Oberlin.

Conversing with Ghosts: Whoa.. I just looked it up and Mudd was actually built in 1974!

Rationalization of Rotes: I rationalized the telepathic communication rotes from the ghost by conjuring a “video machine” (or tombstone) to explain it.

Mac Dream Interface: I was communicating through two Mac windows in the dream, an unusual physicalization of the energy bridges between myself and two ghosts.
