I was inspired by this track during a trip to a mall. I went there to pass the time, because I was waiting for an interview I had with a nearby company, and I arrived too early. I ordered a shot of espresso from the Starbucks’ in the mall (never try it if you’re not used to caffeine! Bad mistake ^ ^;) to gain some energy for the interview because I was WRECKED after 2-3 hours of transit and I didn’t sleep well. The Starbucks’ was a little busy so I ordered my espresso and sat waiting for my turn. During that 5-10 minutes of waiting, my tiredness finally won and I dozed off. I had a very strange dream that almost felt like what someone would call “astral projection” or an “out-of-body experience”. I was flying around the mall and exploring it like a curious child, which I guess is accurate because this was the first time I ever visited it. I was bouncing between floors and isles like a ghost and going to shops I never went to. And the scary part about it is that those shops I went to during this trip turned out to be very identical to the ones that actually exist! Even their stock was the same! Again, I never went to these shops before that dream and only did so after I had my espresso just to feed my curiosity, which slowly turned into a slight sense of unease. I’m sure this phenomenon could be explained somehow, plus, a huge part of our brain is unexplained, but still, this shakes a man!

Anyways, what woke me up from that dream was the barista calling my name and ringing her cute little bell. As I was standing up and trying to compose myself, I realized how truly fast someone can sleep and have dreams, which kinda puts into perspective how cryogenic-freezing, hibernation, or comas work, but that’s beside the point XD.

Hope you enjoy this little track and the story behind it! Let me know if you experienced something similar to this before! I’m curious if it’s common or if it has a psychological meaning behind it.
