夢現 - Yumeutsutsu (Half asleep, half awake)
delves into the profound experience of awakening within a dream, an exploration of lucid dreaming as a metaphor for the human journey of self-realization. The piece captures the moment of clarity when one becomes aware of their dream state, mirroring the awakening within an already awakened reality—a realization that the truths of existence lie not beyond but within and falling back asleep. The composition unfolds as a delicate interplay between structure and freedom, embodying the tension between the known and the unknown, the tangible and the ethereal. Through its fluid, dreamlike gestures, it invites the listener to step into a liminal space, where the boundaries between illusion and reality dissolve. In this state, every note becomes a portal to deeper truths, revealing the interconnectedness of all things and the beauty of being fully present in the infinite now. "夢現" is a journey not just through sound, but through the essence of awakening itself—an invitation to see the dream of life for what it is and to awaken into the boundless truth of reality.
