This combination of concepts might be the way to approach your story during the rewriting process in the future, it really caught my attention and has so much to draw from. I shared it with a friend who is working on a film about the intersection of dreams and AI with the medical field. Great work Xan! Un abrazo

“Separating from nature, we have lost contact with our primal drives and instincts. Worshipping rationality, we have devalued our dreams and forgotten our symbols - yet we remain in the grip of powers beyond our control. Our gods and demons have not disappeared, they merely have new names: addiction, alienation, restlessness... neuroses beyond number.”

—Shew. This resonated deeply with me. There will always be powers beyond our control, truths lying just outside the reach of rationality and logic. Myth and dreams can be reliable tools for grappling with those uncertainties.

Thanks for this post!
