Memories of the Future

Date: 6/23/2025

I went back in time but instead of it being a machine or there being two versions of me, I just went back to being my old self. Weirdly enough, I went way too far back, to 1997, when I was supposed to be a toddler but in the dream I was basically in my early 20s. I was with a group of people that I tried to convince I was a time-traveller from the year 2025. Eventually, I made it part of my identity, I shared my knowledge with the world. I posted on online forums, I talked about YouTube before it was a thing, I could name all the popes after John Paul II as well as winners of Eurovision Song Contest. Aside from that, I enjoyed my time in the past. Listening to CDs and browsing what we now call "old web" but was brand new then. Later I realised I was not alone - there were others like me, and they had better memories of the future than I did, so we started competing for fame.
