Creation Story:
After watching the Dreams and Nightmares creative assignment, I stayed up all night. Ideas were breaking down and exploding in my brain. At 5 a.m. I decided I needed to go to bed, and, you wouldn't believe it, years later I had sleep paralysis again. And I immediately knew that this was it, the perfect solution and the perfect recipe for the contest. Combining dreams and nightmares into one model. Most people's vivid dreams are interrupted by this phenomenon.
