Dream Porch by Bart Hawkins

Dream Porch an album based on hypnagogic hallucinations, the visionary space between wakefulness and sleep. Maintaining awareness through the hypnagogic state, and throughout sleep, is the basis of Tibetan Dream Yoga. Many ancient cultures around the world consider the dream state more real than the awake state. In a dream you cannot tell time, because it’s timeless and you are not limited by a linear and rational mindset. You become the dreamer of the dream, controlling every aspect of the dream. This is the practice grounds on which lucidity of your wakefulness is realized. With deeper practice your dream state and wakefulness become one dream, not separated by time. “Life is but a dream”.

Dream Porch is created from a live 50 minute modular synth performance during Porchfest on June 18th, 2022. Best to listen with headphones and eyes closed.
