Waking dreams - involuntary flashes of visions

[optimusmaximus]

Hello all,

I hope you are all keeping well. I post here because I don't know of any other place suited for this topic? If it falls under a different heading, by all means mods, let me know.

For the longest time, I have had these dream-like visions. Theyvare simply flashes but every now and again I can hold on to them. They are solely visions of other worlds, as in other places that exist. Cities especially but sometimes raw nature. It is as though they are real and exist? I mean they feel real despite knowing they aren't present here in our "known world" as you might call it. Some of them are ancient or medieval, others are hyper-futuristic. Nothing that ever reflects the present day.

I love world-building exercises both as intellectual acitivities and as a way to exercise my creativity. I love imagining geographies, politics, civilizations, cultures, religions, economies, ways of life, etc.

Has anyone had similar?

yeah i've had similar. they are so quick i don't get chance to even think like these worlds can't exist for long here or in me i'm ok with that just feel kind of glad to get these little windows open!

Interesting thread! Sure would like the wisdom for these type of architecture—- my map is really limiting—- I wonder what symmetry the future ‘maps’ would be ‘listened’ under...
