Images in the Clouds Society’s Imagination Is Most People’s Reality by Oliver M. Dick

“Images in the Clouds” takes place over generation and in the minds of its characters. It is a story of the search for “freedom of mind,” which over generations people have forgotten and societies have suppressed. It explores how the social/political technologies, (Religion, flags, country’s…), which past eras constructed take control of the minds of “individuals” in our populations. The concepts of countries, of religion… are so ingrained in us that we no longer contemplate them we only feel them. We kill, we die, we define ourselves by words, names, and flags… which have so many meanings they have no meaning at all. In this story the real fight is against our anger and hate, whatever its cause. And the only place to fight it is within our own mind.
