#waking dreams

[mumblelard]

sitting on cornerstones or this morning i stumbled across more than a dozen folks praying at various spots in the woods by the river. not together. they didn't seem organized. not part of a group. just a lot of individuals all at once needing to be alone, surrounded by trees, staring silently at the water

Strikingly, the actants of these novels engage so prominently in waking dreams or nightmares that their state of mind appears to become part of the action of the texts themselves.

The high concept of "Waking Moments" (S04E14, Stardate 50032.7) really pays off. Chakotay gets a chance to shine and the rest of the crew has some solid interaction. I do wish we got to explore the alien species a bit more and had one more scene with them to wrap up the end, but solid all around.

I wanted to keep the moon central in my poster, but I didn't want too much detail.

(tw: sleep paralysis, nightmares, unreality)

I just had a dream where my girlfriend and I were being chased in a dark parking lot by a tall man. nothing supernatural, he was just advancing with too much speed to be safe.

we tried to run but it was a dream so every movement was agonizingly sluggish. I tried to will myself to wake up.

after waking, I went out into the living room. our house was kind of a mess but I remembered that we didn't have time to clean the day before so as I understood it, it had just been worse than I remembered, nothing unusual.

I went back into the bedroom and I heard the sound of running water in the kitchen. I call out to my girlfriend and to my relief she replies immediately,

"yes, honey! I got off early, I thought you would still be asleep!"

I tell her that I was a bit shaken after my dream and she comes into the room and lays down next to me. it's still early morning dark.

just as I begin to relax I start to feel panicked. I can't move. a loud and rapid banging is coming from the other side of the wall behind my head. on the other side of the wall is the living room, I knew the bedroom door to the living room was open but I couldn't turn my head to see it. I start to truly panic, my life is in danger.

I look over to Emily and I see nothing, that side of the room is completely dark and I know in my heart that she isn't really there. still, I try anything I can to call out to her or reach for her hand but I am completely unable to move. the banging is only getting louder and more frantic.

I can feel whimpers and short breaths in my chest but I cannot speak, I try with everything in me to scream for help, but nothing comes out.

I wake up alone in bed, my girlfriend still at work. I hold my cat close and start to sob.

this was only my third time experiencing sleep paralysis, and the only time I've ever experienced it in full. in the past, my wonderful girlfriend hears me breathing heavily and shaking and wakes me up before it gets too upsetting. this was the first time I was actually alone, and my mind tried everything it could to bring her comforting presence into my dream 😭

“Sometimes you wake up from a dream. Sometimes you wake up in a dream. And sometimes, every once in a while, you wake up in someone else's dream.” ~ Richelle Mead

"Waking Dreams, New York" by Markus Klinko, 2005

Series: Fashion & Beauty | Through The Looking Glass

Arty-Fact: Photography has long been a medium through which we can capture and immortalise moments in time, freezing them forever in a single frame. Yet, it is also a powerful tool for exploring the world around us and the boundaries of our perceptions. As The Mad Hatter from Lewis Carroll's "Through The Looking Glass" says, "In the gardens of memory, in the palace of dreams, that is where you and I shall meet." Similarly, Markus Klinko's photography allows us to enter a world of wonder and surrealism where the line between reality and imagination is blurred. Markus peered through his own looking glass, capturing images that challenge our notions of what is possible and offer new perspectives on the world we inhabit.

I see him watching from the shadows, hiding and observing me, learning about me to use it against me. I feel exposed. Ripped off of privacy.
