Meet me on the 700th floor

I saw my dad in a dream. His figure was standing before me in a hazy spirit form.

"Meet me on the 700th floor," he told me as he disappeared into thin air.

I rushed to get on the elevator and as the doors closed behind me, it took off on a wild ride. I got really high up a few times only to find myself clinging to the wall in response to the elevator switching directions and falling. The speed was so intense that hundreds of floors passed by in a matter of seconds. I thought it broke, but just before it crashed, it moved horizontally and diagonally. Taking my body violently in another direction with my soul left behind to catch up.

It was a lot like the elevator on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory except it wasn't made of glass, so I couldn't see what was going on beyond the walls. I felt trapped because it seemed capable of getting to every floor except the 700th. Every time it started to climb upwards, I felt overcome with excitement, anticipation, yearning, and love. Then... when I would fall, those feelings were quickly replaced with horror, reality, confusion, and sadness.

I woke up confused and wanted to know why the number 700 was in my stream of consciousness. I let my gut instinct direct me to some information online, which just might make up the puzzle pieces to what my dad was trying to communicate:

Rumi
"700 years ago the Sufi poet Rumi wrote about two intelligences. The first is called acquired knowledge or book learning. It is the kind of intelligence that helps us to get ahead in the world and is tested to see how well we retain information. Rumi describes it as “getting always more marks on your preserving tablets.” This is the intelligence of our schooling and striving to succeed.

Rumi also describes another kind of tablet or intelligence: “one already completed and preserved inside you. A spring overflowing its springbox.” This intelligence is not the kind that moves from the outside in, as in traditional learning. “This second knowing is a fountainhead from within you, moving out.” Creativity is about honoring another kind of intelligence that originates from within us rather than from outside sources."

A state of mind
"The 700 Level referred to the cheap seats in the upper deck of Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. Usually the most rowdy fans were there, especially at Philadelphia Eagles games and to a lesser extent Philadelphia Phillies games. In his book, "If Football's a Religion, Why Don't We Have a Prayer?", Jere Longman described the 700 Level as having a reputation for "hostile taunting, fighting, public urination and general strangeness." Due to an improvement in facilities, an increase in security, and a lower tolerance for fan misbehavior, there is no equivalent in either Lincoln Financial Field or Citizens Bank Park. The name has also been the inspiration for websites relating to Philadelphia sports, as well as a weekly "Letters to the Editor" section in the Sunday Sports pages of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Many Philly fans still talk about the "700 Level", but this refers to a state of mind rather than an actual physical place."

Blade Runner
"Another distinction between the races that is made in subtle way is the location where they reside. Tyrell and Deckard live very high up. Deckard lives on 97th floor whereas Tyrell lives on the 700th floor [7] (Sammon, p. 137)."

"Heaven:
4. A geographic location. Take the white stairs across the street, or if you dislike stairways, elevator adjacent to it, 700th floor."
