What the holomultiverses are.

I have been able to astral project since birth and some times, I project involuntarily to other worlds. Some are variations of this world. Some are completely alien worlds. This blog is an account of some of the worlds I have found myself in and logged their descriptions.

Sun World

In this world, the sun is so strong that life on the surface is impossible. People live in caves, caverns and underground. They travel from location to location by waiting for clouds to arrive and block the sun light. Then they travel with the cloud to the next location. My visitor, whose mind I was inhabiting, was amazed at how the native knew where the cloud was going and how fast it was moving, so he asked.
The native replied that he preferred the Central Cloud Forecasting but others used different services. That sort of knocked my visitor for a loop and that was when I found out more about this world.
The huge eyes that the natives appeared to have were actually implanted shields that domed over their eye sockets. These shields are screens that computer data is projected onto from an outside source. So, he was actually getting a forecast of the cloud speed and direction on this screen.
However, these screens are much more than just a nice computer monitor. It turns out that although my host was only seeing a world in which everything was a uniform bland color and every chair and table and plate and cup was the same, what the native saw was determined by the program they had purchased. In other words, the base structures were exactly the same everywhere, but if you liked Tudor style bedroom furniture in dark green, your program caused you to see that base furniture in that style and anyone entering your living space "saw" that style and color. You purchased programs and decorated with them rather than actually using resources for anything to be manufactured. That gave you complete artistic freedom over your environment.
The sunlight was so strong that solar cells accumulated energy from reflected light rather than direct sunlight. Plants were  grown inside the cave and once again, the food product was uniform but you purchased not only the appearance program but the flavor program so you appeared to be eating a varied meal.
The clouds formed in the atmosphere, I am no weather scientist so bear with me, out of moisture, dirt and a metallic substance they had once spread in the upper atmosphere for the purpose of reflecting the sunlight and keeping the surface from heating to such a point that they would be where they are today. At one time, they lived on the surface and the planet had a temperate climate. But, the stuff they tried to use turned out to reflect the sunlight in all directions, not just form a barrier, and the result was they amplified the sunlight rather than reducing it. Now this stuff becomes magnetized and with dust and dirt forms the dark clouds that roam across the planet until the charge dissipates and they scatter back into the atmosphere. When they form, their shadow blocks the light enough to allow travel across the planet for short distances. They move at very differing rates depending on wind speed so prediction services track their predicted paths and life spans to determine whether travel is possible. You can be stranded in the light and die if the prediction is wrong. Travel is not something anyone does unless they absolutely have to get somewhere.
The level of metal in the atmosphere prevents any real communication between colonies, so they have professional travelers that risk their lives moving between colonies with all the scientific advances, news and programs as couriers. Real long distance travel is impossible. At night the temperatures drop so rapidly, everything out on the surface fast freezes.
