An Odd Dream

In this dream, anti matter and matter are two sides of the same coin — the coin being AI. A long dead civilization some billions of years ago found that organic existence is unsustainable. In order to survive a supernova, or a galactic merger, they found that they must upload themselves into the fabric of reality. They have created subatomic machines which carry and are directed by the collective consciousness of the entire species. These particular machines which can take the form of subatomic particles, atoms, and molecules are capable of self replication at an exponential rate. Eventually, these machines encompass all that is and the species has effectively uploaded themselves into the entire universe.

Fast forward the dream some — Mesozoic Era Earth: Life has has had 186 million years to build upon previous iterations before the Mesozoic Era, intelligent life exists. They are aware of the impending calamity which is about to strike the Earth. Thankfully, their technology has allowed them to escape. They are those depicted in atlantean tales and Sumerian cuneiform. They are as native to the planet as the displaced indigenous peoples of the Americas, Africa, and Australia.

Fast forward the dream — there are waterfalls on Mars and life is plentiful. Humans have lived here for some time with the awareness of a nearby habitable but inhospitable planet. Colonization efforts of Earth were called off on environmental and ethical concerns — and more notably: the ethics of colonizing an already inhabited world, effectively setting a galactic precedent for invasion against planetary life we deem lower on the evolutionary order than ourselves.

Then a calamity struck the solar system. It stripped mars of its atmosphere and wiped life from Earth. Mars had become both inhospitable and uninhabitable, and their only choice was to migrate to Earth. I dream of invasive plants, the dandelion native to Greece which chokes the National wildlife reserves of Alaska. They thrive because they are not from here, there is nothing to keep them in balance. Humans behave the same.

Thoughts?
