WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This series was born from that. From those vivid, recurring dreams that, while they last, make the real world seem unreal. I wanted to explore both sides of the coin: the dream that makes us happy and the nightmare that traps us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's probably happened to you: suddenly you're eight years old and the world is once again a vast and safe place. You're sitting on a swing that hangs from nowhere, gently swaying above a sea of \u200b\u200bclouds that look like cotton candy. There's no vertigo, just that absolute peace of a time when you didn't have to explain anything to anyone. Then you wake up and adult logic tries to convince you it was just a trick of your mind, but the feeling of freedom stays with you all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversely, it's also curious, and somewhat terrifying, that we are the only species capable of experiencing real physical suffering simply by imagining a problem. In a dream, fear isn't an abstract idea; it's a person attacking you, an entity that feels\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this essay on the subconscious, I attempt to explore those inner worlds into which we immerse ourselves every night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I think that, in the end, we spend the day pretending we have a map and know exactly where we're going. But then night falls and reminds us that neither you nor I know anything at all. Our consciousness is something that dissolves like sugar in coffee as soon as we fall asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These images aren't meant to explain anything; I hope they serve the opposite purpose: to spark more questions. And I hope you and I continue to have a blast while we think together through this and a thousand other series.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
