No Past, No Future, Only Now

Written By MERDE

A series inspired by Akira Kurosawa's Dreams (1990) — a collection of seemingly unrelated stories, bound together by the logic of dreaming.

Existing somewhere between memory and reality, shaped by the feeling that the version of you someone once carried in their head has quietly expired.

What does it feel like to enter a dream where identity turns fluid, where the once-familiar dissolves into something new? And in a world of constant overstimulation — where does the real end, and the imagined begin?
