Tech Company Controlled Future Dystopia (Dream)

I had the weirdest futuristic dystopian dream yesterday night. My dad needed to go to work, and for some reason our entire family drove up to this building, which kind of looked like some sort of smart vehicle parking garage. One side was for employees, and the other side was for cars and guests. My dad gets off, badged in, and walked off down the corridor for employees. This conveyor belt starts moving my mom, the car, and I through the system of futuristic looking corridors that is very brightly lit (like something you'd see in a Sci-Fi movie). Then the conveyor belt split. One lane for Facebook, another for Microsoft, and another for Apple, and the final one for Google. The in car GPS suddenly lit up and changed, saying the trip will be 38 miles and 50 minutes.

We began traveling down the Google corridor. I blinked once, and suddenly my mom and I was in this bus sized gondola traveling with others through the San Francisco Bay Area's network of cables and gondolas, all of which were owned and operated by the 4 largest tech giants.

At first I was enjoying the scenery, as all the mountains surrounding us (apparently we were traveling through Fremont at the time), were covered with snow. There is some reality to this since it has been snowing like crazy here in the San Francisco Bay Area recently. After a while, I remember getting into an argument with my mom thinking, "Wait! When did I agree to this trip?", also "Don't I have photos to edit, and photos to take?", and "What the heck did I get myself into?". Anyways I woke up pretty soon after. 😂

It was pretty creepy dreaming of a San Francisco Bay Area covered with a public transport system comprised of gondolas and light rails, all of which are owned and operated by the 4 biggest tech giants. I wonder if I did end up seeing into the future of capitalist America. 😅 Anything is achievable if you have the money. Honestly, it looked a bit like China 🇨🇳, but in the Fremont, with all the public transportation built out. In China 🇨🇳 we have gondolas at most tourist hotspots, and we have really sophisticated light rail systems.

PS: I responded very well to an experimental treatment recently for Visual Snow Syndrome. My day time vision is almost completely normal now, and I've recovered around half of my night vision. I've began taking photos again during the day, and very rarely, some night photography with assistance from my parents.
