Okay, before I went to bed last night, I was watching something about Einstein and his general theory of relativity on the History Channel. If you really look into it, I think you would find it quite fascinating. It’s hard to grasp the idea that time can be manipulated (called gravitational time dilation) and the whole theory in general. Last year, in Signet, we had kind of like a whole unit dedicated to it. I think I actually looked foward to going to Signet then…
But, before I go into a tangent, let me get back to my story. So I was watching that and since it involves a lot of stuff about space, I couln’t help but think about that when I was going to bed. I couldn’t keep my mind off of it and it kept me awake for hours. Once I fell asleep, though, I dreamt about space and Einstein. I know…I’m such a dork right? Haha
So the dream started out that I was in a space shuttle about to blast off into space to space walk around a couple of planets. Crazy, I know. My sister, mother, and cousin was with me for moral support. There was no crew; it was just us. Then, we went into space and I must say that even in a dream, space is indescribable, vast, and celestial. The weird and not normal part of the dream, though, was that the planets were extremely close together and it seemed as if they were surrounding Earth, like in the geocentric theory. I,then, put on my jetpack and space suit and went out into space.
I cannot even describe it. It seemed too real to be a part of a dream. I managed to space walk around three planets in a considerably short amount of time. I remember pointing out the Great Red Spot on Jupiter and the ice caps on Mars. I decided to head back early because I had a flight to London later that day that I needed to get to. So I was on my way back when I heard my sister on my headphone telling me that I was about to walk into a black hole.
Oh s**t!
Like all normal people, I started to freak out and try and space walk back to the shuttle, but I found myself struggling and unable to move forward no matter how hard I tried. In the midst of my frustration, I heard an unnoticable and unrecognizable voice in my headphone, who said his name was Einstein. He told me not to worry about making my flight because since I was around a black hole, time was slowing down. He pointed out that I actually had plenty of extra time to get through security and all that. I screamed every curse word I knew as I was being sucked into the black hole, knowing that I was falling into my death. The last thing I heard before I woke up was Einstein saying:
“Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.”
I didn’t rememeber the whole quote when I woke up, only bits and pieces of it. But I looked it up afterwards and came up with this.
I must say that this dream is probably one of the most weird dreams I ever had. Normally, I would just blow this off and use it to tell people how weird I am that even in my dreams, I think about the not normal. But, now that I think about it, it just seems too real to be not real. Space, the whole message of the story, and my actions and thinking in the dream is something that could not be fake. I mean, I had control of my actions the whole time. And I was thinking, which most of the time does not happen in people’s dreams.
Maybe this is a message for me? An omen? A destiny to do something? Maybe he is just telling me to get my head out of my ass and do something I am supposed to be doing but I’m not? I don’t know. I have no idea.
I guess I’ll just ponder about it. Einstein liked to take long walks and sit and think a lot. I mean, thats how he came up with his whole theory. Maybe if I do the same, I can so something substancial in my life. Maybe it won’t be to Einstein’s extent, but maybe it’ll be enough for me to be satisfied with it.
…I think now, I’m going to get a cuppa of hot chocolate and sit in front of the fire. I have a lotta thinking to do.
