Reading response to Einstein's Dream: Prologue


 The prologue of Einstein’s dreams consist on a descriptive piece of the office of a young man and the several happenings of that same time somewhere else. All this flashes of other short stories only shadow what happens in that office at that time, making the description richer, but also less precise. As light touches different objects on the room giving visibility the story comes to an end; closing with a confused dream about time.

“Out of many possible natures of time, imagined in many other nights, one seems compelling.”

The reading is not very precise, yet it starts making sense as we read further. I would say that one thing that the reading took for granted is the character description. We never know who the character is, and because of the title maybe the reading gave for granted the fact that we knew who the character is. The reading let me to a confused environment of dreams and uncertainty, but I as a reader did wanted to go there.
