Dream of the distant future.

I had a really weird one last night.

I dreampt of a future where people had mastered the art of guiding their way through the bardo that lifespans were no longer thought of as extending from birth till death. Instead, much like the way that the Tibetan Tulku system is "supposed" to work, each individual incarnation was thought of as another stage in a longer life. Through a combination of drugs, controlled death, and psychic practice people would recover full memory of previous incarnations within a couple years after birth.

In the dream I was planning a trip to a distant planet to do some kind of missionary work. Since planets that supported life are so few and far between, the only means to travel from planet to planet was to die, navigate your way through the bardo, than get re-born on the destination planet. It also solved the problem of acclimation to foreign atmosphere and germs since you would be born into a body that was indiginous to the destination planet.

Trippy huh?
