[@garypudup2109]

why do you think it was a dream?

[@andrewlambert7464]

Gary is quite right to ask Danny. If you combine a few of the current theories in Neuroscience about the electro-magnetic energy within the brain having transmutationational qualities (being more than one thing at a time as well as different places) which has given strong evidence that astral-projection may soon be quantified. So, who knows? My suggestion? Do what I do when I find myself in a similar dream-state. Look for specifics. Names of places, advertisers, even makes and models of vehicles you don’t recognize. My favorite is looking for dates. Any phony dream book will tell you that it is difficult for your mind to supply dates. The reason they give is that dates are kept in a separate area from the area you use for dreaming. When I’m in a lucid dream I often find myself searching for newspapers or a calendar. I’m still trying...

It's weird that we're listening to an immersive experience of a world who's own inhabitants are urge to leave with flying ads.

[@holysecret2]

I believe for many people it's half the nostalgia back towards the time the film was released. And half the fantasy of floating through this kind of dystopian world while being untethered to it, which creates this sort of interesting contrast that is inspiring to me. Also, the constant yet soft rain sound evokes the feeling of something greater than some of the mundane bickering that is going on in the background. I don't know, perhaps something along those lines.

[@stephendemange4687]

@@holysecret2 I am a huge fan of Blade Runner since I watched it in 1982 and I've been listening to the original Vangelis soundtrack for many years now. I just discovered this incredible sound mix that takes us back deep into one key element that makes the movie such a masterpiece: the athmosphere, i.e. a unique blend of softness, darkness, dream, lightness, melancholy, hope, loneliness, ... But besides this effect, surprisingly, I found this track to be a good way to deal with my eco-anxiety, that is my fear of the collapse of human society due to the consequences of climate change, loss of biodiversity and all the catastrophies our current way of living is creating. This dystopian future is the context of the film and maybe that listening to theses sounds help me to face my fears and accept our fate. "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."
