I recently was assigned a report on the topic of dreams and what exactly they contribute to a person’s sanity and humanity for Psychology. I'm not going to bore the hell out of you guys with 6 pages of textbook bull, but rather discuss a thought I had while writing this report.
If you could have everything you ever wanted, over and again, thousands upon thousands of time, what you happen to you? What if "What if" became nothing more than two simple words? It's almost beyond thought as to what could happen to our minds if not the slightest bit of desire or want remained. About the only thing I assume that would happen is that you would to no longer have the desire to live on. What if this condition spread? The main reason for sex is reproduction, and through so, man feels immortalized through the action of passing on a little bit of himself. What if that was no longer even the remotest concern to anyone? That's why I think this incredible concept for "Mankind's greatest success our greatest failure?" could be just that. Of course, I bet your asking yourself, how could anyone ever -REALLY- have everything they ever wanted and how the hell could someone -not- want to have secks?!
The answer is simple, dream manipulation. To our subconscious, time has no meaning, and imagination has no boundary. If man could ever find a way to control and manipulate a person dreams, it would certainly be the end of all humanity. The use of D.M. is inevitable. It's only a matter of time till our technology reaches that level of complexity. Look at it this way. You could live entire life times, over and over in a blink of an eye. Living out any scenario you want. Dying in any scenario you want. It would be a completely infinite pool of entertainment at the touch of our fingers. You could be a god. Scary thought, eh?
How this would actually work in a "real" situation:
Dream Manipulation Stations are set up through out the world. People begin to see and open up to this new form of "entertainment." Soon, the big issue of "Is it okay to live your entire life hooked up to Dream Manipulation?" The debate over people being born and dying in a tube that can control their entire life would rage on for awhile, but eventually, as all things do, become to familiar with society and eventually no longer bring about concern. Sure, D.M. would start of expensive, but eventually it would be as common as TV and as addicting as Meth.
Okay, so I know that was weird, but hear me out. Who knows where this could lead.. Or where it could end. In a nutshell, if this situation ever comes about, we know we are screwed one way or another.
(NOTE: Please do not steal this idea. I've already slightly regretted posting it, as I -may- or -may not- be considering it to be the first book I write.)
