Leo’s Dreams

  • Jung young

    by

    I have a fear, a kind of fear that stops me from breathing correctly. Someday this planet might change for the worse. I don’t know how or why; it could be an atomic bomb, or we could all perish from Costco cookies. I don’t know. I just want to be more prepared for anything, for something. I want to buy a house far away from big cities, stock up on groceries, and live off the grid like a Jedi.

    I am afraid of changing my life.

    If a zombie attack happens, I’m quite ready for it. I can kill them in a thousand (or more) different ways. That doesn’t mean I have no fear of zombies, but I’ve watched a lot of research about how to kill them.

    I am afraid of changing my life way.

    I listen to you

    As I ponder,

    You breathe life into me

    While I fade away.

    Demons cling to me

    As I contemplate,

    While you drift apart

    And I struggle to breathe.

    Part 2

    Annie Lennox composed ‘Sweet Dreams’. I’ve always loved one line of this song: «Some of them [dreams] want to use you.» I guess this line has helped shape my thoughts about the soul of people.

    I was born in 1992 in Bangkok. I grew up with 4 brothers and sisters. One of them studied music and became a star in symphonic music. Many people referred to her as «the last star in the world». She taught me how to create music when I was 8 years old. I hated it at the time, but today I appreciate everything about music creation. She also taught me something interesting about how people feel different things when listening to the same music. The same piece of music can be annoying for one person and enjoyable for another. You might think, «Yes, it’s obvious, people can have different tastes,» but have you ever wondered why?

    I started my research about 10 years ago and made a significant discovery: people are influenced by various factors in their perception of music.

    Part 1

    My father told me about how a great physicist helped my grandfather to build a new theory. He said with eloquence, I remember, «Your grandfather wrote about chaos theory before all these new age scientists.» My father had a big belly because of the alcohol, and when he told me about my grandfather’s memories, he was always drunk.

    My grandfather was in his twenties, finishing his PhD in electromechanics at Oxford. It was around the 60s. At that time, Newtonian physics was enough to explain everything. But Tony, my grandpa, made a big decision. He had two options in his life: be another PhD and go back to teach at his alma mater or try to find something new. Obviously, pushed by his father, he moved from London to Chile to the biggest telescope built by anyone in the world at that time.

    About six years after his arrival in Chile, he found something special, something weird. He discovered some kind of net around the lights of the stars. Chile had the largest database of star intensity, compiled over about 100 years. The faculty of physics had saved this information. Since my grandpa had access to this vast amount of data, he sensed something was wrong.
