Institutionalized religions had completely broken down because, as it turned out, they had not been based on sound principles, but rather on the power games played by all the modern religious leaders, the men and women who desired power and control of their "flock" by twisting the original teachings of all the prophets, the great elders of yore like Buddha, Jesus, Mohamed, Confucius and more.
It was obvious back in the 21st century with all the religious wars, terrorists, etc. that had been going on and how religious sects, splinter groups, fundamentalists and more had twisted the original teachings to suit their needs, and their desired ends. Greed consumed all religion, greed and the desire for power. This unconscious collectiveness could simply not withstand the tests of time, and so they all broke down, and collapsed. Not a single major religion that we knew of in the 21st century remained in tact.
They all still did exist, but in a "purer" form, in small sects, cults, hidden worship grottos and such, much like how Christianity once began thousands of years ago. The good majority of the people had either become agnostic in their unconscious rage, anger and disbelief that "their god" would have the audacity to abandon them, or they had turned to what DID remain resilient (sort of) to what humanity had tried to hard to destroy: the power in nature, or a pure form of "druidism", something similar but different again from the "shintoism" kind of worship found to weakly still exist in 21st century Japan. This kind of belief in the "mother goddess" ran quite deeply among a good portion of people around the world, and in a sense, it united those of different cultures in the exact same way that modern religions of the 21st century divided them.
Technology was that weird blend of ancient/modern mishmash that we might expect to find after the destruction of our present civilization and all the toys and science that went along with it. Pockets of modern wonder had remained, but those pieces of technology were looked on more as magic than anything humanity might have developed in the past, and the users of that technology were considered to be powerful magicians and seers...
This was pretty much the end of the dream, but I still have another three pages of text that I wrote before getting up for the day; it tied the entire experience together with my thoughts so I will include that as part (4) tomorrow. Have a lovely rest of day. I have errands to run, and locks on my auto spare tire to bust off... not to mention coffee and olive oil to purchase while out at my car guy. Then probably the killer heavy lower muscle workout at Relaim as I haven't been there for a while.
I love you!
