Last night I had the strangest dream...

Did that title start an earworm for you? It did for me.

Anyway - I was selected to be an advocate to secure funding for a group of "tunnelers" - against my will. I was in some post-apocalyptic society that wasn't based on countries, but by living space. There were "tunnelers" - those that lived in communities deep under the ground or underwater. "Fliers" were those that lived in communities aloft - suspended in the air somewhere near the clouds. "Earthlies" were those that lived in the old traditional models on land. I was raised as an Earthly, and it was my preferred life choice, but something to do with some aptitude tests I had to take indicated I was needed in this tunnel community - to help them secure some funding from the "higher order" (I'm guessing this was the Big Brother type of governing body)to do some R&D on why the newly built tunnel communities were collapsing.

And this was one of my fears about having to be a "tunneler" to start with - this being buried alive business - this collapse business - this no more air business.

I want to explore this dream some more. Since the "higher order" was located in the "fliers" community - were these levels like heaven and hell?
