Unlocking the potential of dream consciousness could be the start of redefining reality. Dwelling in unexplored territories, like the dreamworld, has the potential of revealing undiscovered human capabilities which could act as a catalyst for escaping binary modes of thinking as it creates a possibility that hasn’t been created before. Lucid dreaming forces one to “rework” traditional practices which creates space for the reconstruction of knowledge and its sources. Karen Barad argues that reality has been approached with empiricist assumptions, it has been pre-constructed and narrowed down by the limitations of human comprehension, which makes the understanding of reality limited to the human observer (Barad, 2003, p.812). While Barad’s approach shares values of mindfulness as the universal becoming of all is emphasized in both, it also highlights the need to reconsider reality as we have come to know it. Practicing lucid dreaming allows for the possibility of reconstructing the self, art, and reality.
Through travelling to unknown worlds, we can not only expand but shapeshift our understanding of reality. As Barad suggests, “The world is an ongoing open process of
mattering through which “mattering” itself acquires meaning and form in the realization of different agential possibilities.” (Barad, 2003, p.17). Mindfulness and world-travelling reveal the overlooked relations between human, nature, and matter–relations that are necessary in revealing the potential for transformation and the creation of new realities. Consequently, this exploration of mindful world-travelling to dream consciousness offers a pathway to not only redefine the art-making process through dreams but also expand our understanding of reality, actively shaping and creating new worlds within it.

I sincerely believe that in every room, on every street, in every book or movie, no matter how banal, there is something that can help you think about the world in a new way.

Honestly very hard for me to get into - I have ZERO coding knowledge and nothing I could really latch onto - knowledge transfer is how I learn. But https://futurecoder.io/ is great (after lots of Redditing)

The puffin is the latest addition to more than 180 known species—many of them sharks, corals, and other marine animals—that emit a luminous glow.
The fact that so many marine animals biofluoresce "tells us organisms are using light in ways we don't even see," John Sparks, curator of fishes at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
