ok, so maybe it actually wasn’t from a future vlogger but boy did it feel like it and it all revolved around the canon xm2 — this 3ccd camera i used to lust over when i was a younger vlogger wanting to upgrade from my boring DV camera days.
i’m always in awe and wonder of how far an imagination can deep dive in those rem sleeps, it’s like we have this lizard brain ai painting pictures and running low level code to keep our dormant systems pinged while the rest of the body and the muscles repair and take time out.
last night’s dream was so fruitful and vivid (i’ve been having a lot) that i literally woke up and had to write it down because it felt like some kinda quantum travelled future information that i received via some metaverse outlet that was re-routed wrong into this universe and not the cloud service that this next generation camera was linked up too.
it was hella wild.
the main reason for doing a video and “writing” this stuff down was the two very profound “features” that were present in the vivid dream, so clear, almost like someone not setting the settings right on this next generation camera they had and i’m getting the live stream of them setting it up.
main features being real time virtual “lighting” cones that you could just “swish” onto a live capture or after the fact — think augmented lighting or literally 3d software of today and placing a lighting point to illuminate with the ability to drag it around — it was wild.
the camera was so powerful it had all that built into the unit, no connection to the web to do it, all local processing, point mapping, volumetric everything, maybe it was some kinda additional enhanced lidar style information collected while on or recorded but it was awesome.
another incredibly clear “feature” that i was privy too was this auto magically mode of blurring anything “screen” based — so if you had big ad screens, mobile phones, laptops, anything emitting a changing “scene” you could auto blue that out live, perfect for live streamers who don’t wanna get DMCA’d or whatever the future of that was — it was nuts.
i made the little vlog about it because it felt like i had received this “unboxing” from another time and space, it was like seeing a future vlogger, either me, or someone like me and the configuration somehow (because quantum comms was portable in this universe) was somehow coming back to me, maybe there was some kind of mis configuration and it came to my descendant from an ascendent, a precursor routed back to me.
It was wild, i did NOT want to forget about it. I’ve been really enjoying these vivid dreams lately, most are like 5/6 scenes that have some kind of weak link but this came with like “data” points or feature sets which made it so much more than just a visceral dream. It was like point data leaked from the cloud, a side channel almost, sub carrier wave leaked via this quantum channel that should be encrypted for just that person but somehow got back to my bloodline in this universe.
It was such a ride.
