The following images were made using Leonardo.ai, my build of Disco Diffusion, photo-manipulation, photobashing & sketching in Gimp and Inkscape, and post editing/composition in darktable.
Lay down and wake up in strange worlds, surrounded by feelings that have taken forms and colors.
When awake, you are being tricked by individuality and the separation of all things, by their individual forms and shapes and colors, by their differentiation.
But when only the mind is involved, in the dream world, you are able to recognize things even though their shapes and forms are different. You recognize them solely by their essence.
Furthermore, you don't really "see" things, you "feel" them, you wouldn't have to actually perceive through eyes or through yourselves, in dreams, the dream itself is the perception. Everything aspect of it is your "eyes", your perception.
Try and exercise. Look at yourself not with your eyes, not through a mirror, but try to look at your hand, and try to look back at yourself with your hand. Move the perceptive center to your hand.
Once you get this practice tackled down, and you feel you can do it at will, try and do it through other people's eyes, other entity's eyes in your dreams. Realize that they are as much yourself as you are, in the dreamworld.
These are just fun little exercises to when you are dreaming, to slowly become more present in your dreams, to slowly feel more connected to what's happening and maybe start remembering them more vividly in the morning.
I hope you enjoyed these little fun tricks I shared with you today, and the artworks I've created to go along with them.
