Similitude

With a brief memory of your past, what meaning do your dreams hold? In the many questions that Kaeda asks herself, this is the overarching one in a life riddled with confusion and deep thought. An adopted San Francisco student in 2036, Kaeda is quiet and analytical-intellectualizing most of her feelings rather than experiencing them.However, Kaeda holds a destructive vulnerability: her past puzzles her. She has only brief memories of her childhood-a frequent issue when Kaeda attempts to piece together her past. Though, to either help or hinder this, Kaeda has an unlikely ability: her dreams are abnormally vivid; scenes of bright images play inside of Kaeda's mind every second that she sleeps.In November 2036, fragments of Kaeda's past become clearer-and her dreams replicate this. As Kaeda's memories of her past and vivid dreams begin to interlink, what conclusions can she draw despite the gaps in her recollection?
