about

Recently I seem to have developed a habit of appearing in other people's dreams. I'm not sure what's going on with that, but the idea gave me this track as well as the title of the album, so I'm good.

lyrics

Your imagination
has more power than it seems
Creates realities inside your head
Pushes things to their extremes
Who's to say that your creations
will stay insude your mind's regime?
My oneiric tulpas
will manifest within your dreams

One moment please...

When the things that you are dreaming
are not entirely your own
and you can't puzzle out their meaning
or their significance alone
You may have conjured up my presence
if it's my company you seek
Before they dim in evanescence
My doppelgangers are unique

Conjured up from nothing
To nothing it returns
You might think that I'm bluffing
But you've got lots to learn
Calling up my double
With independent form
Might get you into trouble
Be ready for the storm

When this most shallow of depictions
Takes on existence of its own
It leaves the realms of science fiction
Becomes a thing of flesh and bone
And so remember if you see me
Walk down an unfamiliar street
It might be something else entirely
Who you are just about to meet

Please stand by...

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
