30/100 - Inner cosmos
The gesture is similar to something I drew a couple of years ago. I called that older one "Kneeling universe can’t see its own creation" which I admit is a bit pompous. But the idea came from a common reality check used by those who practice lucid dreaming. I was personally surprised to find out that lucid dreaming could be practiced and that it even has a scientific basis.
The idea behind reality checking or reality testing is to perform an action during your waking hours that you would also try while dreaming, looking at your hands and asking yourself "Am I dreaming?" is common one. If you are actually dreaming your hands wouldn't look normal.
My extrapolation was to think: "if the universe is dreaming, would it do a reality check to know if it was dreaming?"
This came out of that thought:
It looks like an earlier, skinnier version of the astronaut. Except with, you know, telescoping arms ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I do get a little self conscious some nights about invading your inbox daily with this kind of weird tidbits (if you are reading this in your inbox) so if you are as new to Patreon as I am I wanted to say you can click on Manage email settings at the bottom of the email to stop receiving these updates. You will still have access to all the posts on the website of course, but maybe at your own pace.
