‘Firmament of the Sea’
My new year's resolution was to record my dreams. Now 6 months later and hundreds of dreams now recorded I have found methodologies for invoking more interesting and memorable dreams. One of these methods is called Wake Back to Bed and is popular among lucid dreamers. It involves setting alarms throughout the night just before or during the REM part of your cycles. I often wake up from the most vivid and profound dreams and scrawl them down or draw them.
This piece is inspired by one of those dreams in which a girl is sewing sea foam that forms the sky of an underwater city which would wash away with the tides if she ever left her post to go and visit the city.
