the dreamer renders itself coming to consciousness,
enveloped in a cocoon of membrane. the pulse of a surrounding
circulatory system whirs through the womb, passing through an
unfamiliar flesh in deep hums. tines of cartilage pierce through
the membrane from octagonal, equal trajectory, binding the
dreamer to a physical stasis within the organ. the dreamer will
likely panic in brevity, commonly triggering a hyperventilative
response in the dreamer's corporeal, sleeping body. the dreamer
whom experiences claustrophobic anxiety may awaken at this point.
following, the dreamer may begin to observe beyond the
membrane. the womb breaches a surface of a vast, organic curvature
of viscera - irregular in distance, and organized in a
visibly arbitrary array. overtly scattered in the midst of the
plane are tall monoliths of dark steel, welded by hooks of both
organic and inorganic material to the biological megastructure
beneath each unit. backlit lcd displays line each unit in rows,
segmenting the tower in a vertical cascade to a sharp point
several meters above the plane. each display hosts a rapid scroll
of text - its syntax made illegible by the rate of the display.
the dreamer may now experience an external voice, routed
in digital processing through its internal auditory perception
to its best subjective limit per the dreamer. subsequent to this
experience is, by extention of the available cognitive functions
of the dreamer, a more personal confrontation of the subconscious
and its interfacing of the psychosphere and cyberspace conjunctively.
in several accounts, the individual that continues to
experience REM beyond any benevolent encounter may perceive an
abstraction of pure heat -- an infernal array of stimuli in
a pervasive, multisensory barrage through a piercing distortion of
the internal visual and auditory cognition of the dreamer. in
clarity, one will always assume a state of blinding dysphoria.
