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 hasnāt been created before. Lucid dreaming forces one to āreworkā 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 Baradās 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, āThe world is an ongoing open process of
mattering through which āmatteringā itself acquires meaning and form in the realization of different agential possibilities.ā (Barad, 2003, p.17). Mindfulness and world-travelling reveal the overlooked relations between human, nature, and matterārelations 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.

Iām in Paris rn which is similar to NYC in many ways, but wildly different from it in othersāin big ways (dif language) and small (the bottle caps on plastic water bottles all uncrew and then flip up instead of screwing off). International travel is still somewhat new to me so Iām always excited to see the different ways people live all over the world due to their history or climate or geography. For instance, never seen a toilet like this before, doesnāt exist in my reality but it does here.
