Dream Traveller

Sometimes, I dream of places I've never been. It makes me wonder—could it be that my soul has wandered into someone else's body, somewhere far away, a person or animal who’s momentarily lost in thought? Through their eyes, I see what they see.
Another inspiration for this idea came from an experience I had once in a subway station in Hong Kong. I was walking, and an elderly man was coming toward me. He gave me a small smile, and in that moment, his smile felt so mysterious, almost as if he knew me. It was a fleeting moment, but it left me wondering—could it be that someone I know had somehow entered his body, just for that instant?
This could explain why we sometimes zone out and can’t quite recall what happened during that time. Maybe, when they wake up, my soul gets pushed back, and that’s why dreams feel so broken and incomplete. Our souls keep shifting, randomly entering other bodies, seeing the world from their perspective as they drift off.
This AI-generated video explores this fleeting, dreamlike sensation through surreal imagery and abstract motion.
