: Maybe the "One Dream" is similar to the
: Dreamtime of the Australian aborigines, an eternal,
: timeless realm that is the source of all creation and
: which refers to extremely ancient times and events but
: which is also (since it's timeless and eternal) still
: going on, and always will. The world of the shattered
: dream would merely be a flawed perception of the
: larger, invisible reality, and when one dies one is
: freed from the partial perceptions of the flesh and
: regains the clarity and perspective of the larger
: existence. There is also a kind of parallel in gnostic
: thinking, where time, matter, and so on are merely
: perversions of the pure spirit of mind. But maybe
: that's getting too mystical. Maybe the One Dream is
: just the Trow name for getting stoned. "Dude, I
: was so far into the One Dream last night, man, it was
: like I was getting clobbered by a bunch of zerks. Hey,
: pass me some of them 'dwarf heads,' I got the
: munchies."
Aside from the stoner Trow part, this is what I originally thought of the One Dream. The only part I can't figure out is that, if the One Dream was broken, how could Connacht return them to it? Maybe, like Silicon said, it's like Omega point - the One Dream may not be whole at the time of the unit's death, but it's whole at some other point in time, so the dead Trows' spirits would enter it there.
The only problem is that that sorta screws up reincarnation during periods when the One Dream is broken, unless souls can leave the One Dream to any body in any time.
