Art imitates life with an illusion of sorts, sometimes inspired to represent something about it which seems difficult or near impossible to convey well through other means of communication.
In turn, much media we see today pulls bits from here and there of what an artist has gleaned, some of it making it through to 'the big screen', a novel, a play, a musical album, or talking points on a television show or entertainment platform, governmental schemes and say-so means, politics, you name it.
Sure, playing like so with the OG art somewhat changes the original, sometimes. Other times - maybe certain aspects of it are attempted at via however by whomever or whatever to convey a farout idea, artists are spectacular for art depicting possibilities, real and or outlandish consequences or benefits of their imagings or ongoing affairs. (and their imagination's feeding on what, again? Right. - sense media)
You probably have seen or known of it yourselves, maybe, in an animated/cgi-based piece of some modern form of media..or just via conversation being broadcasted on the radio or a podcast - same-ish dealio.
Regardless, with the world as it is today, data and information disseminated widely and rapidly so quickly it's out there sooner than later, usually.
Returning in one form or another, to oneself perhaps, senses pick up on this or that element of whatever, and in turn we can easily dream or trip it in some shape or fashion - sometimes as if *note for note* other times, a mutated, or irregular/unusual form of it in part or in whole or in whole plus some, ie. easily in conjunction with any other sense impressions to manifest in psychedelic experience and or dream, day-dreams, and our day to day mental content observed of the so-called ordinary mind, too.
I might be losing most the plot atm, but:
'The dreaming dreams the dreamer' (comes to mind)
(iirc, my bad if so, its past my bed time )
Well,
in turn what goes around kinda sorta comes around, in a manner of speaking - in some way, shape or form - and not necessarily meaning karmic-w/e, per say.
rather... just in very plain, general, and ordinary sort of way.
still. very neat stuff when attentive and observing some related links corresponding to x, ,y ,or x - of this or that thing one's senses were exposed to at some point in time.
Media 'in' via the senses, and boom, splicage and all sorts of funniness comes about it in myriad ways.
If like so, then our brain's potentially have another available means for the manifesting them *as however (+,-,/,x) whatever. If unfamiliar with what's 'coming in through the sense gates- so to speak - they may do a number on any of us - sometimes, especially wrt psychs, in ways so foreign to what it initially seemed (if we can even remember or recall the initial impressing exposure to begin with) meaning, we might easily take it for - *fill in the blank* (not quite what it is, go figure).
the dream possibly dreams of the dream dreaming dreamer, too.
It maybeee even be the dream and dream are one in the same, or maybe just insane. Besides, what is there to know?
Media influences us big time, as in sense-media, in general.
Sometimes I play select media in a particular way right about when I feel I'm nearing falling asleep. Countless times the content of said media makes its way 'in' (so to speak) anyways, despite my person being 'asleep/dreaming' - btw, its unreal how phenomenal the experience can be.
Experientially-wise, dreaming like so, if it takes, I might find myself situated in environments, roles, careers, institutions (judicial/exec gov., var military ranks from of a nation i've never visited or hardly knew much about, be it as 'myself', a male, or more randomly once twice as a female, countless times as another member of another species of life while living out their life in a number of bygone eras or the presently one (with my ignorance filling in the blanks, or whatever media im playing for such a purpose doing so for me, and using whatever memories and hallucingenic imaginatory power to damn near sell it like its true.
And that's not even getting into when I mix it up with some Scifi-based literature (I find audiobooks, documentaries, a select series: think, star wars, star trek, dune, 3 part body problem, alien(1-3), and 7-8 others that often work like i've mentioned above to an incredible effect.
I can write a proper dream-trip report on of my latest goes at it when I've gotten some sleep under my belt if anyone would like.
Dang, I am le-tired, lads. Apologies for any lack of cohesion in advance. 
G'nit.

Be it sight, sound, smell, or touch There's something inside that we need so much The sight of a touch or the scent of a sound Or the strength of an oak with roots deep in the ground The wonder of flowers to be covered and then to burst up Through tarmac, to the sun again Or to fly to the sun without burning a wing To lie in a meadow and hear the grass sing To have all these things in our memories' hoard And to use them, to help us, to find.......
