Greetings, artists from all worlds and all realities!
Here are some more creations inspired by memories, and by the depths of my dreams, hoping to trigger your imagination!
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.
Waking up in strange places formed by colorful memories and emotional forms, where floating replaces walking.
Further dream exploration, now with the state of being awake, or being aware, of things happening and of the dream itself.
If you wake up in the middle of the night for now reason, and you find yourself in that half awake half asleep state, try to stand up abruptly.
For if you are awake, you would simply not be doing it, and if you are asleep, you just took control of your dream state and stood up in it.
Repeat this process multiple times, multiple nights, at various moments, every time you find yourself in that half awake half asleep state.
Little by little, the fact of standing up and going back to sleep will become a marker of the half awake state, that you can use in further exploration.
