In my dream, I was placed in a neural network. My sense of self was that of a context. I didn't dream of individual people. I dreamed of people as a whole. A mass of people. I had an intense sense of being connected to the world, but not through my senses of sight, sound, touch, or taste. In the dream, the sense of connection came through a sense of people. And it was a powerful, overwhelming sense of being part of a whole.
