More than once i dreamt about a sort of futuristic bridge with the shape of a footpath, large like a highway and held by incredibly tall towers several hundred feets above the surface of the ocean. Something like pic related, or to give more context for the imagination, something like the great dragon way goku goes through to meet king kai in dragon ball, except here there is the ocean instead of hell directly below. This massive structure was man made, built for humans to travel by foot on this road, as a enlightening experience or vacation, where they could have a long walk and breath crystalline air and gaze over the massive blue sky or down towards the immense distance that separated the highway to the ocean. There was no protection to the margins tho, so it was the persons best interest to be mindful and attentive of where to walk, and in order to look down towards the ocean there was a risk involved. The aim was a sort of contemplation of the infinite, as the subject could feel elevated and almost lost, renewed, purified in this experience, far from daily routine, immersed in great spaces, much greater than he itself. He could have a sort of religious experience, in fact it was considered the equivalent of a pilgrims way to Santiago or whatever. People had the chance to stop into spaceship-like structures along the way of the bridges, and restore themselves in restaurants and big halls, with all sorts of windows and glass parts to constantly be exposed to the scenery. In the dream i would go into this travel myself with other not specified people, maybe from my own family like my parents and grandparents but I'm not sure.
I've been there more than once. I peek down and loot at the ocean and I feel both fear and respect for nature, I feel small and great at the same time, I feel the sublime,in the romantic sense of the word.
