This post was inspired by a dream misadventure I had last night where I was just minding my own business getting gophers out of the rice field, then suddenly on the intercom/announcements (which I did not expect to have in my dream, since I was outside, not in a building), a voice said "attention, this is a representative of the fediverse speaking... going into effect today, dreamland itself, err, everyone's dreams, are now a part of the fediverse; that is all, happy floating on cloud nine" and then suddenly a bunch of Stalingrad ninjas popped out of nowhere and ambushed me (yeah, how would you react if that's the case). So I guess I'm not even safe from everyone in my sleep.

I see artificial telepathy has turned out well.

My most recent dream had me hanging out with an old BF at school. We were studying for a test when we got up to hear the announcements which were all mumbled because the speakers were broken. I whacked it with a broom to get the dust out and a car key fell out. I was curious, so we went to the parking lot to use it to see what vehicle it belonged to. We then went to the vehicle that lit up only to learn it was a time machine, so we used it to go back in time to what the time machine said were "previous dreams" to change the "dreamtime continuum". The dream ended as I ran up to twelve-year-old me and yelled "don't go down that slide onto the noodle, you'll die" and past me said "hey look, you're fading".

Wondering now if there's some kind of machine somewhere that connects all dreamers together as long as it's on and is how the telepathy works. Owned by the fediverse of course.

That's not a new idea, though the part about it being in the fediverse deep zone adds a layer.
