You realize we're inevitably headed towards WalMart surgery centers, right?

nah no worries.
Wallmart is wretched, and if one can see anything good whilst in there, I'd take it up a notch from epiphany and call it a bonafide miracle

You start to notice many synchronicities to a point that at times you feel they might drive you crazy. Especially when know or feel that no one else around you notices them and you feel like pointing stuff out to the person next to you but you feel they get tried of hearing about it. The connections are there and you can't make them see your connections that are happening. Why is that ?
Well... I think it is because they are seeing their own connections in accordance to their own experiences and growth as an individual.
So my take on it is stay vigilant and pay attention, don't let it drive you bonkers. Try to learn from it and pay attention to the little messages being sent or the insights you will get from the experience. Its all a part of the waking experience I suppose.

I began to realize that everything around me was visual data. Pure data. I saw in my mind's eye that people walking by me are beings of light occupying mental shells, traversing an indefinable void of Matrix-like external physicality which is in actuality equivalent to nothing. Then I began to feel a pressure sensation in my head, and this insurmountable joy that I haven't experienced in ages. I knew in that moment that none of this is real, only us, these immeasurable, wonderful beings of light with treasured stories that have no beginning nor an end. Physical bodies melted away. I felt like I was floating in this space, walking on a lake of frozen ice where beneath is endless ocean and above endless sky. I could envision this place we call Wal-Mart as an endless expanse of blackness with wandering jets of light, interfacing with reality only so far as symbols and archetypes are able to reach us through the masquerade of commodity.
I then felt like I needed to walk through my local mall and as I did so this feeling continued, of truly seeing past external appearances. A dull sorrow filled me, knowing that we are in sleep-like states to be so obsessed with trivial external data. But I know all of us are so beautiful and it just made me so sad to know that this system is built this way to keep people from remembering how vast and powerful they are. Another thing transpired in the mall, a strong intuition that this had happened before, in a place we like to call Atlantis. We are Atlantis 2.0, on the brink of destruction from how far lost we have become.
...
So, I had a dream last night featuring a large earthquake that was destroying a massive landscape.
