App to See your Dead Loved Ones and Graduation

Date: 12/19/2021

Graduation—————-—————- I dreamt that it was the week before my graduation ceremony. I wanted to invite my once close friends to party but then I realized I had drifted so apart from them after high school and that they probably had better plans. I felt kinda bitter and didn’t want to see their faces. I did see an old childhood friend who was walking on campus to get restaurant food with his mom, however. We talked about meaningless things that I don’t remember and parted ways. I took an awkward picture with some Class of 2022 people. I was in the bottom center. I also tried going to some frat parties but somehow found myself in my former Chinese school gymnasium and saw an ex so I quickly left. I was bored, driving super fast around the surrounding city. I could pick out my car like in a Mario Kart interface somehow. Then I was riding on a public bus standing next to the driver. The road wasn’t wide enough for the bus but the driver smashed through concrete, cars, and trees anyway. He cursed the urban infrastructure. It was fun. Later, an elderly CEO rich lady called out to me. She asked me in her downtown office if I was being discriminated against on campus. I was confused and said no, but then she (threateningly) insisted I live in her fancy apartment to be her personal hit man. I refused because I was gonna graduate soon and didn’t want to feel in debt to her. Dead Loved Ones App——————————— I was sitting at a long table in some mall cafeteria on a late afternoon. The area had this weird yellow camera filter like faint sunlight coming in through the windows. There were a bunch of people huddled around the table sitting in chairs using their phone cameras. I was able to see from their POV without asking them what was going on, through special glasses. One person had a husband who died and was talking to him through the camera pointed at the chair next to them. I guess it was like a realistic AR app where the AI generated fake interactions with dead people. A kid had a dead dog so they pointed their camera at a coffee they were drinking. The cream pattern on top morphed into the shape of their dog and the kid was so happy they cried. I was so unsettled, clearly the company who made this app is manipulating people, like inducing hallucinations!! I needed to stop the company, I thought. Then I woke up.
