In The Middle

IN THE MIDDLE

Let me tell you about the in-between

Not sleep, not wake, but the liminal space where Dalí held keys above plates

The creative sweet spot

Neurons

Fire

Misfire

Desyncing

Like a jazz ensemble finding its rhythm in the dark

One foot in dreams

One foot in the world

You are not simply on or off, conscious or unconscious, awake or asleep

A mosaic?

A thought?

The paradox: To move forward       we          enter      the          in            between

While you walk the world with eyes open

Consciousness fighting through, boundaries blurred as the line between and who you are becoming

Free

The daughters and sons of transition, architects who exist in the dream state between what was and what will {?}

The slow waves of dreams cascading rhythm Time      To          Rise

Synchronize differently

Arousal circuits fire

Theory to action

Past to future

Insomnia is not disorder— it's heightened vigilance in a world that requires it

We are not broken

We are in transition

Sleep has stages

Between every stage

There is a space

Space where consciousness bleeds through unconsciousness where the brain teaches itself

Moving between states that were never meant to be separate

Dreams older than thought

Awareness is the in-between

The        Mind      Is            Mosaic

Between measurement

And what we missed

It's been ours

Ours

Keep climbing

Transitioning

Finding new states of consciousness

The boundary between dreams and awareness

Where creativity lives

Innovation

The brain learns to move from what was to

Drifting

Waking

Transitioning
