It's a "New Age" belief in an infinite record of knowledge.

[seaandsky]

... And you think that library was that?

[hexeninmadchen]

How else vould a human mind process a record of infinite knowledge?

[seaandsky]

Well, I don't know.

Could a human mind even do something like that?

[hexeninmadchen]

To retain sanity? Yes.

[seaandsky]

Hmm...

But I don't really know why something like that would appear in my dreams, miss. It's a little odd. *takes another sip of his drink, sighing.*

[hexeninmadchen]

Have you ever desired that much knowledge? Absolute wisdom?

::Grins a bit.::

[seaandsky]

... I suppose it'd be odd if I didn't admit that... I'd want to know more things than I do. But that's a pursuit of knowledge. Right?

[hexeninmadchen]

Yes. And vut of it. You make it sound as if wanting to know everything is a failure.

[seaandsky]

Oh, no, quite the opposite.

It's just... There's probably only so much one could know... and things better off not being known.

[hexeninmadchen]

At our current stage, ja, but aiming to know more is hardly sinful.

[seaandsky]

Our current stage? *mixes his drink so whatever is in there distributes again.*

[hexeninmadchen]

The current stage of human evolution, ja.

[seaandsky]

... Hmm, even if that's the case. It's better to know your own limits.

Wanting to know more is one thing, but there's only so much one can handle.

[hexeninmadchen]

... Are you afraid of learning something...?

[seaandsky]

Hm? *blinks up at you while he was mid-sip*

Why would I be afraid of learning something?

[hexeninmadchen]

Because you seem quite annoyed vith the idea of trying to reach a little bit farther.

[seaandsky]

I'm not annoyed, I just have... limits.

... besides, we're talking about a dream. That's all.

[hexeninmadchen]

And vut is life if not putting dreams into action.

[seaandsky]

Is dreaming of a library really a dream to reach for?

[hexeninmadchen]

Knowledge is always a dream vorth reaching for.

[seaandsky]

Hm... I guess so. I guess it is something to reach for, if it's that.

But that's assuming that it really is that.

[hexeninmadchen]

... Hrm?

[seaandsky]

What if the dream really is just a dream? What if it's just meant to be a place of peacefulness, instead of a place of knowledge? A library can be quite peaceful, after all. Quiet. Serene.

[hexeninmadchen]

When one knows all, it is a world of peace. Absolute knowledge leads to absolute understanding vhich leads to absolute world peace.
