“An episode chiefly inspired by a 10 second piece of animation by Alyssa on her YouTube channel.
Check out the full TWELVE SECOND video (plot-twist?) here.

This episode is also inspired by the following quote from fragment 32 of Fernando Pessoa's Book of Disquiet:
Underlying everything, the hushed night was the tomb of God (and my soul felt sorry for God).”
OTHER TOPICS THAT CROP UP:
-Lucid Dreaming: Rob’s experiences with lucid dreaming and the techniques he used to achieve it (counting backwards, repeating a phrase while falling asleep).
-Finding Beauty in the Mundane: the concept of cultivating a "waking dream" mentality, where one finds wonder and beauty in everyday experiences. Cf. Eckhart Tolle/Nisargadatta.
The Yearning for Connection: Lost loves, and the desire to recapture those feelings of connection and shared experiences. The possibility of finding a similar connection through lucid dreaming.
-Techniques for Lucid Dreaming: dream journaling, sensory deprivation, and meditation.
Life as a Waking Dream: living one’s life as a lucid dream state, rather than feeling trapped in our waking nightmares.
-In The Forest of Estrangement: A text written in 1912 and forming the initial foundations for TBOD according to a letter to João de Lebre e Lima, in which FP talks about his new project. Read both the letter, as well as In The Forest of Estrangement here.
