What a great dream. Phoebe saw me drive back to where she was waiting for a bus and she didn't just walk up to me; she ran up to me. She didn't want me to give her a ride though to where she was going and she told me something about how this would all be over soon. I was stomping on the brake of my 1967 blue Chevrolet to try to get it to stop, but it would not. I think that was when she actually said it would all stop soon. I explained that I have this happen to me in dreams sometimes, where I can't get my vehicle to stop no matter how hard I stand on the brakes and I think she smiled. Probably because I was describing something that happens to me in dreams while I was dreaming. There is another aspect to this part of our conversation that I can't articulate. And thinking back to that dream just makes me miss her incredibly. The dream was set in the past but how I want to see her in the present.

LE offers you the answer.
Upon resurrection...
you will continue in an ageless state...
preserved but living in the present...
with a future of your choosing.
Your death will be wiped from your memory.
Your life will continue as a realistic work of art...
painted by you, minute to minute...
and you'll live it with thel romantic abandon of a summer day...

You want us to agree to forget?
2:01:47
Wait a minute, are we sure
that we want to do this?
2:01:51
Yes.
2:01:55
This is the greatest discovery
in the history of mankind.
2:01:57
We're just going to white it out
like it's a typing error?
2:02:01
I'm sure.
2:02:05
What about you, Beth?
2:02:07
What's the matter, Norman?
2:02:09
It's a little hard to let go of.
2:02:11
Something that could've been. . .

We're given this magic ball.

And it says...
2:02:24

You see, it is immortality that is boring. It is interesting as a concept because who does not want to live forever and live forever as their younger self. But eventually it would get boring. You have to be prepared mentally for such a life.

Of course, you could spend a hundred years as an immortal in order to mental prepare yourself to live forever. But I think the real understanding of how immortality can be boring is one of those concepts you eventually begin to understand.

It just makes no sense to me why we have to spend another lousy minute apart.
