The poem uses Go's concurrency primitives to create a meditation on parallel streams of consciousness. The structure mirrors the flow of thoughts during meditation, with each goroutine representing a separate thread of awareness.

Demonstrates Go's core features: goroutines for concurrent execution, channels for communication, select statements for multiplexing, and time handling. The poem showcases Go's approach to CSP-style concurrency.

Explores the parallel nature of consciousness and dreams, using Go's concurrency model as a metaphor for how thoughts and memories interweave during meditation. The interplay between channels represents the dance between different levels of awareness.
