Dream Anthology 3

The Chimp

I was walking down a heavily forested path and I knew somehow that I was in Namibia. I looked up at the sky and it was daytime but there was no sun or clouds there were just these tiny weird little pulsating stars all over the sky.

I see a beige Jeep and I knew that some humans might be here. I am about to keep walking when Jane Goodall appears in front of me. She says excuse me and goes to the Jeep to get what looked like a hose. Then she says can I follow you, we don't get that much people out here.

Then I reasoned that this must be another version of earth which figures since she just died. After a bit of walking, I ask her if she was into apiary, before she could answer, she stops me, and I see a chimp sitting and glancing in front of a mirror.

he seems to be eyeing his or her own reflection. Then suddenly, the chimp gets up and violently smashes the mirror. Then it looks again, then it keeps pounding the mirror. His fists start to bleed and his arms are broken. It cannot run on all fours so it hovels in pain back into the woods. When we walk in front of the mirror, we can see our reflections just fine. The dream ends.

I still think about the chimp in the mirror. The chimp stares hard at its own reflection. It does not recognize itself. It sees somebody else that is like itself and then violently attacks that person. And after doing that, he sees several more smaller copies of itself, then it attacks those too. 

Possible Morals:

Doesn't that not make you wish that apes had compound eyes? If they had compound eyes, then they will come to think that there were multiples perspectives and angles of the same view. When they look into a mirror, they would actually be a crowd of people.
