THE DAY DREAMER

Very few of us really get the time to daydream. It is one of the most incredibly sustained stressfree activity in our life. Maybe because we reach the depth of our soul while we dream. Maybe, because we want to be something we are not. But, what if we could merge our dreams?How about entering somebody's dream and controling it. Like a mass hypnotic chaos of fulfillment. Can it be possible to enter into the brain of someone and realter, rechannel or simply recast a dream? If we could do that, it would be closest to an utter disdain of one's privacy. See, newspapers did it. Then came the radio....then TV...then internet & mobile telephony. All these mediums have somehow shrunk our world. But, mostly it has broadened our mirror into the private life of an individual. The next intrusion would be of greater proportion. The virtual world would take things over. Ultimately, you and I would never be able to distinguish between the fact and the fake, the real and the virtual. But, we would also be able to enter into the mind of an individual. Enter into his thought process. We would then know what an artist thinks when he paints, what a politician thinks when he speaks...and what a terrorist imagines when he gets closer to his target! Imagine a world where your thought process could have magnified impact on the society as a whole. From consumer surveys to opinion polls to your next crime-everything graphed mentally. Imagine then-your dream would land you in deep trouble. Stop dreaming!
