Lucid Dream

Since I went abroad to study in 2017, I, who loves to travel, have successively travelled to many different countries and made friends with many cultural backgrounds. That period of time existed in my life like a dream, it was beautiful and unreal, beautiful and scary, like a lucid dream.

Lucid dreaming is not the same as daydreaming. Lucid dreaming means that the dreamer stays awake during sleep. The dreamer can have the ability to think and remember when he is awake in the dream. Some people can even make the feeling in their dreams. It’s as real as the real world, but I know I’m in a dream.

Picking up a black and white film camera in three-dimensional space and time, using a psychedelic unconscious behaviour to create a world of real and dream images. At the moment when the shutter is pressed, the body and soul are constantly shuttled in the two-dimensional woven fine web. The reorganisation, disintegration, flashing, and rotation of the time structure repeats itself, and the scenes accurately depicted begin to re-emerge in self-memory and choice. Construct. The peculiar new illusory substance of photos is real at the moment of personal spiritual experience, but the perception is lying, ambiguously hovering between the sense of unreality and reality. All this analysis seems to be under the control of the brain, but I don’t know whether it is a dream.

At first I thought that the number of photos should be the most difficult to edit, but in fact it is more difficult to edit less photos. When you can’t do a lot of subtraction, what ‘algorithm’ can be used to solve it is particularly important.
