I had this dream that humans lived on the moon in one dome, and robots lived in another dome. Neither could survive in the others dome, and they largely ignored each other. Viewed from afar it had that eerie space quality, both dark and bright all at the same time. The domes almost glowed against the gray moon landscape. They were so close to each other they almost touched.
On this particular day it was the robot leader’s birthday. Even though they ignored each other, it was customary to send a present to other dome. There was no way to automatically send a present over to the other dome, so whomever (or whatever in the case of a robot) had to dress up in a special suit to survive in the other’s, horrible inhospitable dome.
I was the human sent to the robot dome with his present. It was a typical bubble helmet suit. The walk to the robot dome was quick, taking only a few seconds. It was more walking across the street than to some other environment entirely. Surprisingly, once in the dome, it looked exactly like the human dome. I walked around the halls and rooms of the robot dome looking for something, anything to give this present to so I could go home. But I found no one. It was completely empty.
….. and that’s where I woke up.
It was weird.
