I've had dreams about Perth in the future before similar to this one. Most specifically one where I was at Perth Citys Central train station except it was several times bigger. Instead of one set of tracks coming into the station there were multiple sets, all stacked on top of each other. The design was very futuristic because it wasn't one solid multi-storey structure. The sets of tracks built on top of the ground floor set were built in such a way that they appeared to be floating, so you could literally see all the floors and tracks from any point and any level of the train station. You could look up from the ground floor set of tracks and see trains coming in on suspended tracks in the air from underneath. The platforms are also open, so you could see through in between them. The design was amazing
This dream, I'm not sure if I was further into the future, but whatever I was traveling on in this dream seems even more advanced than a train
I was following a friend of mine to his house in this dream and before we left I said that I would take my vehicle and follow him in his, to go to his place, on what is today, East Perth
Except the only thing that was still the same in East Perth in this dream was the big park/oval in the middle of it, North of the train tracks near the Swan River
The rest of East Perth was now skyscrapers and looked like a developed extension of Perth City
All the small apartment buildings that are there now were gone and were replaced by buildings that were at least 30-40 storeys tall/high. I say "at least" because I never looked up to see how high they went up. 30-40 storeys was all I saw in my field of vision, but they could be much, much taller
I had flashes of leaving a expensive hotel room in the area and returning later on (a few days later) and finding a woman I am friends with (though not too keen on) still staying in the room, when she wasn't still meant to be there. I asked her if the room was still on my credit card and she said yes, which I wasn't too happy about, because I didn't really have the money to afford it. Though, it felt like no money had come out of my account, or something similar to this. Possibly, I think I'm wealthy and though I have the money, I appreciate the value of the money that's being wasted each night on the room. Possibly my parents or someone else is paying for it, I'm not sure. Whatever it is, it feels like I shouldn't be wasting the money on the room, but, that it's not the end of the world that it has been wasted, for whatever reason
The most interesting part is traveling into East Perth from wherever my friend and I were, before we decided to take two vehicles to his place
Because we arrived on some type of massive platform built way up in the air over the East Perth bank of the Swan River
The staircase coming down from it, towards the park in East Perth was immense. You could probably fit 100 people side-by-side comfortably on these stairs. And they were high. Like, vertigo for those afraid of heights, type of high. Maybe 20+ storeys
People were walking up and down these stairs arriving and departing East Perth, like it was some sort of major transportation hub hanging (literally, in the air) off the side of the Swan River in East Perth
Something told me it was "the slipstream"
I think there is some very specific reason that it's built over the top of rivers and waterways, possibly something to do with safety
My guess is that whatever it is, it either flies or defies gravity. But what confuses me about this, is that we took two personal vehicles to arrive at what appears to be a public station
Possibly some sort of automated flying/anti-gravity vehicle system? Hence the "slipstream" name I was given
I guess that means it feeds down (above) rivers and waterways to avoid ground traffic, so it likely feeds out into the ocean
If that's the case, I wonder where it was we were coming from. How far away it was from Perth. Likely some large distance, traveled incredibly quickly. It would have to be to make a system like that viable and warrant it being built
