Ever since I finished watching, my head has been spinning with all these new ideas. It’s like... what if?
Why is it that our dreams—those moments where everything feels like it stretches on for hours in a single blink—seem to defy the actual passage of time?
I won't even say it's been days; if we’re actually measuring this by our standard earthly time, it’s been...
They play out in just a few seconds, sometimes stretching into a couple of minutes, yet they never truly offer anything substantial.
Is it possible that our entire lifespan actually spans seventy, eighty, or even ninety plus years?
Maybe just a few seconds or minutes of sleep is all it takes to make us feel like outsiders looking in.
Is the entire framework flawed? What we consider death would only represent...
Waking up from a dream—is it just a sudden spike in adrenaline, a random glitch in the system, or maybe just a conscious choice?
Our dreams always end up pulling us right back into this reality. I even had a dream the other day that...
I came across this somewhat oddly shaped pool sitting right in front of me.
So, I had this dream where some voice just casually informed me that I was swimming in a pool of dreams. Totally spontaneous.
I dove headfirst into it, only to find myself suddenly paralyzed.
Sinking toward the bottom, suffocating, haunted by the memory of my own attempt.
Surging out of physical lethargy just to find some kind of footing. That's when...
That voice started up again, telling me I should just let go, since apparently that's what's necessary.
Surrender yourself to the current if you ever want to reach the shore. It was at that exact moment that I felt completely overwhelmed.
There was this strange sense of peace, a certain stillness, even as I felt myself slowly drowning in that water.
I remember that pitch-black void and the suddenness of waking up the next moment—just as calm and composed as everything else.
Sigmund Freud would probably argue that a dream pool is just a manifestation of some unconscious desire.
My very being seems to drift toward this metaphorical longing—a desire to sink into something that isn't exactly overwhelming, yet still feels like enough.
Is it about those damp, dark depths, or just some primal urge to crawl back into the womb? 🤣
At the end of the day, I can't help but feel like we don't give our dreams nearly enough credit.
They really ought to take them into account, rather than just taking them for granted without even knowing they exist.
We're almost at the point where we can just say "hello." =)
Quote : LNP20| I’ll be honest, I wasn't exactly sold on the animation at first. It felt like a hurdle. But by the time the credits rolled, it hit me that the movie wouldn't have functioned half as well if it hadn't been done this way. That specific medium really amplifies that sense of losing your grip on reality, doesn't it? It just works. |
It feels like he’s just leaning into that sensation you mentioned—those slippery, shifting identities.
Shape-shifting, a complete lack of empirical grounding, and pure extravagance.
Color and experience—there's just this total lack of fixed meaning at any level. And yet, what?
The most fascinating part is how an individual interacts with their surroundings while in a state
of wakefulness, which explains why we aren't constantly shocked by the reality of things.
So, if we judge by the mechanics of dreaming, does that mean a significant portion
of human—and perhaps other species'—existence has been somewhat postmodern since ancient times? =)

I hope you haven't gotten yourself tangled up in any power lines or tree branches... 🙂
People certainly love to talk. It just occurred to me how people in the
Middle Ages used to claim that at the edges of the "world" maps back then

the founder of the Lucidity Institute and one of the leading figures in this
field of research. He teaches techniques on how to achieve this, and according to him,
he personally managed to have four lucid dreams in a single night.
Here is an interview with him that I found particularly interesting:

Do you think we will wake up after death?
However, if we are capable of lucid dreaming and controlling our dreams, why wouldn't that be possible right now? If we are dreaming... once we realize we are dreaming, we can manipulate life or the dream however we please...
There have been a few times in my life where I realized I was dreaming while still asleep... and I always ended up waking up shortly thereafter. That moment of "awareness" seems to break the dream.

😬It is very likely... Ferenczi would probably agree and eventually conclude that it is a craving to return to the primordial waters..
I have spent hours pondering whether I should choose dreams or the Oedipus complex for my term paper..
I settled on the latter... we simply know too little about dreams..

Well, at the start of the experience, the protagonist is typically confused, utterly bewildered... quite frightened... and eventually, they simply surrender to it.
I recall an instance myself, if memory serves, where I experienced a dream within a dream. I would wake up and go about my business as if everything were perfectly normal, only to... suddenly wake up for real. 😲 I actually found myself pinching my own arm just to verify whether the present moment was "real." It wasn't exactly a pleasant sensation; a subtle sense of paranoia began to take hold of me. 😁

I am also reminded of that old legend concerning the people who dwell within the hollow interior of the Earth—tall, blond individuals who inhabit a realm accessible through some sort of fissure located somewhere in the North.🤔 Apparently, an expedition set out, or perhaps is planning to set out, to explore such places. 🤣
