Cross-Platform Dreams
Does the shift in foundation affect the superstructure? What's your personality like, if you're an angel, a robot, a bar of music, a lightningbolt? Are you you? What changes and what persists? And by running your personality on this alternate platform, what's your dream trying to tell you? Whoever you are. Or think you are.
