Research in my sketch book
Authors own
Moving away from the idea of dream analysis, I looked at the harder facts about dreaming e.g. the brain activity involved, dream frequency and duration and other avenues associated with dreaming (lucidity, astral planing and sleep paralysis). Astral planing and sleep paralysis were really effective concepts to play with in regards to what I want to communicate. The animation that I wish to produce is all about the very real, human desire to escape, but also exploring it as an art (training yourself to lucid dream). The Astral Plane world is a very obvious escape from reality, it is almost seen as a more intense, however, enlightened realm. Whereas, on the other end of the spectrum, sleep paralysis is the ultimate state of restriction that one can only wish to escape from. Playing with this juxtaposition could creative something strongly communicative.
An informative video I watched that explains the process of lucid dreaming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYSX51xBkos
