captures the essence of being lost in a vivid dream
the concept and inspiration behind “DREAM STATE”:
- The “In your dream” Reddit Event: The core inspiration was the event itself, prompting a reflection on the nature and imagery of dreams.
- Fluidity of Dreams: The cloud-like form of the central figure represents the ever-changing and often illogical nature of dreams. Boundaries blur, and forms shift unexpectedly.
- Detachment from Reality: The crossed-out eyes symbolize the disconnection from the waking world and the heightened focus on internal experience during sleep.
- Cosmic Dreamscape: The swirling galaxy and stars embody the vastness and limitlessness of the dream world, where our minds can travel to unimaginable places.
- Orbital Thoughts/Emotions: The planets orbiting the figure can be interpreted as the different thoughts, emotions, and memories that populate our dreams, each with its own gravitational pull and influence.
- Mystical Color Palette: The use of deep blues, purples, and vibrant accents aims to evoke the ethereal, magical, and sometimes surreal atmosphere that characterizes many dreams.
- Weightlessness and Serenity: The floating posture of the figure conveys a sense of peace and freedom often experienced in dreams, unburdened by the constraints of the physical world.
- Personal Introspection: The creation of this avatar was also a personal exploration of my own dream experiences and the fascinating power of the subconscious mind.
