The Palace of Dreams? No more dystopian literature...

In Ismail Kadare's novel "The Palace of Dreams", people no longer control reality, but are pursued by dreams, the most intimate, most invisible, most ambiguous thoughts.

An invisible state apparatus collects, processes, selects, manipulates and interprets… dreams!

And in the end, they become weapons! Weapons that control the uncontrollable: the subconscious!

In the "Palace of Dreams", fear has become a method, loyalty is measured by silence, free words are translated into danger, any thought that does not fit the official line is labeled as a threat.

The citizen felt watched even when he was silent, punished even when he was dreaming.

Instead of an institution that processes dreams, a system has been built that processes beliefs. And often, even consciousness itself.

The Palace of Dreams? No more dystopian literature.

In the "Palace of Dreams": the 'sectors' and 'procedures' they followed are:

Collecting dreams from the entire population;

Their selection, categorization, and selection depended on the danger they posed to the country and the sultan.

Interpretation of selected dreams.

Finally, the dream of every week, which was waiting for the head.

Now, replace dreams with SMS and WhatsApp messages.../ CNA
